UNCIVILISED WARFARE.
MORE GERMAN CRIMES.
POISONING OF STREAM.
London, June 18.
Router's correspondent at the British headquarters states - that the cartridge belt of a German machinegun was picked up in the Ypres area, in which all the bullets had been pulled out and reinserted base frontwards, so that they would " mushroom" on impact.
A stream running from the German trenches into the British lines had been analysed, and found to contain poison. These ° outrages wore increasing the bitterness of the troops towards the enemy.
