GERMANY'S SUBMARINE CAMPAIGN.

ALLIES CARRY OUT STERN REPRISALS. _ GERMANY'S RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION.; (Australian and New Zealand Cable Association and Renter.) I LONDON, April 17. A Berlin official'message says: Twenty-three aeroplanes attacked.Freiburg on Saturday, when eleven people were killed and twenty-seven injured. The university sustained considerable damage. The municipal theatre and an institute for the infirm Were in the areas attacked. Three British aeroplanes were brought down, and the leader of the attack, a British lieu-tenant-colonel, was made prisoner. According to his statements and a fly-sheet thrown down, the attack was a reprisal for the torpedoing of the Gloucester Castle. The communique, in vigorous language, combats 'such justification, and declares that Britain must take the consequences of despising Germany's warning against the misuse of hospital ships. The revengeful attack upon an open town, wherein there are no military important objects is a cheap glory. "';

[Yesterday the Admiralty announced that owing.to-German-submarine attacks on hospital sMp& being hi 'direct krlcl flagrant contravention of The Hague Convention rule No. 10, a large squadron of Anglo-French aeroplanes had carried out a reprisal bombardment on the town of Freiburg on Saturday.
