THE SQUEAK OF THE ZEPPELIN RATS.

No Mercy for Him Pirates

ST is with the highest satisfaction.' that we have read of the refusatof the British -trawler's captain.--and crew to , rescue the Zeppelin, assassins who came to grief in. the North. Sea. These men went to England oil a mission of deliberately-planned, ruthlessmurder of innocent non-combatants. Happily their hellish work was interfered with - by some British aviators, and, instead "of returning to Germany to be hailed as heroes by the disgusting race which gloats over the murder of' British women and children, they /found;: a watery grave in the North Sea.

Thank goodness that, one gang at least of these' wretches have gone unwept, unshriven to their just doom. Our only regret is that the crew of every Zeppelin murder ship could' not share the same fate.
