THE WAY OF THE HUN.

FRESH BARBARITY SUGGESTED

BY UNTRUTHFUL ALXEGATIONS

AND PROTEST.

BRITISH GOVERNMENT ALIVE

TO PROBABILITIES

(Received July 31, 9.5 a.m.)

LONDON, July 30

The Ministry of Information says that the question of whether the Germans are contemplating some fresh barbarous innovation is suggested by their persistent allegations that the British are using unlawful bullets. Germany recently protested to the British Government with reference to this matter, but the Foreign Office reply showed that the protest was absolutely unjustified.

The British Government knows that a German accusation of this kind is usually advanced as an excuse for some prepared and concerted violation of the laws and customs of war, and the Foreign Office has notified Germany that any such fresh outrage will be met with prompt and stern reprisals.— Aus.-N.Z.
