PITILESS PIRATES
A REMARKABLE SEMI-OFFICIAL UTTERANCE. LONDON, February 10. A dispatch, dated from the cruiser Aloltke, February Ist, and entitled “Our Outposts in th© North Sea,” appears in most of the German newspapers, having been circulated broadcast from semi-official sources. The following passage is noteworthy:— ‘‘lron times call for iron hearts, which annihilate the enemy_ without pity. What matters to us his whining lamentation over th© British baby inevitably struck down by each blow of our weapons? What care we for Belgian refugees, the meat for whose dinner was salted by the U2l ?* Be'gian refugees should be regarded as contraband, because England is pressing them into the service of the forces allied to her, just ns 1 in former times she snatched up sailors for her Fleet.” (■•This appears to bo a reference to the recent sinking off Havre of a British ship with a cargo of meat. - ]
