MARITIME OUTRAGES DENOUNCED BY NEUTRALS.
HORRIBLE STATE OF DESPERATION REVEALED.
DEATH OF AMERICAN CITIZEN TO BE ACCOUNTED FOR London', March 31. The New York Journal expresses the hope that the brutes responsible for the loss of life at. the sinking of the Falaba will be caught and hanged. The New York Tribune contends that the United States is bound to bold Germany accountable for not giving Leon Thrasher, an American citizen—who was drowned when the Falaba went down— a safe conduct off the ship. The Press says because of the. submarine atrocities Von Tirpitz and the German Admiralty is damned in the eyes of all civilisation. The Swedish newspapers scarcely credit the Falaba and Aquila horrors. The Tidningen declares that it reveals a perfectly horrible desperation. The Russian newspaper Novoe Vremya refers to the hideous depths of German degradation. The hour of reckoning is near when the enemies of humanity must pay to the fullest extent. The German press is rejoicing over the sinking of the Falaba, describing it as a glorious feat.
