LAWS OF WARFARE.
GERMAN VIOLATIONS.
PROMISE OF INQUIRY.
London, September 17.
Mr. Asquith, speaking in the House of Commons, promised that an inquiry should be held into the statements of the wounded in hospital concerning German violations of the laws of civilised warfare.
He suggested that the accusation concerning the use of dum-dum bullets by both sides was due to the fact that the long pointed bullets now used caused more serious and jagged wounds when fired at close ranges than any form of expanding bullets, probably because pointed bullets turn sideways after piercing the flesh.
