MISUSE OF A FLAG.
CHARGE AGAINST EMDEN.
EQUAL TO PIRACY.
JUDGE'S STRONG COMMENT
(Received November 18, 1 a.m.)
Sydney, November 17.
Judge Backhouse, speaking at a public function said: "We should not lose our sense of perspective, and should beware of making heroes of the Emden's officers. Using the enemy's colours when attacking is a very serious affair, equivalent to the misuse of the uniform. If the Emden's captain did this, he was no better than a pirate, and his reward should be the yardarm."
