BACTERIA IN WAR.
CHARGE AGAINST GERMANS. LORD MOYNIHAN REITERATES. LONDON, April 16. "I invite Professors Pfeifie and Prausmtz to rid themselves of prejudice and join with ail dispassionate people in passing a verdict of guilty against tho German Army on tho odious charge of employing bacteria as instruments of war." said Lord Movnihan, the eminent surgeon. The statement was in reply to the professors' denial that plague baccili were used by the Germans in 1916-17. Lord Movnihan drew the attention of ihe, professors to <i statement in the Official History of the War, adding: "No evidence to refute that oißcial statement has vet been produced. It is true that there have been vehement though vacuous denials by interested parties, acting, perhaps, under instructions, but there is not a shred of evidence that over impugned the accuracy of our laboratory investigation."
