"ThV l/a-raiong's submarine was tbe destroyer of the Arabic, and her crew's hands ■ were still dripping with the blood oF women and children. Germany's allegations have not

But the commander of the Baralong obviously could not allow the Germans to reach .the Nicosian, '-whither they swam instead of to the Baralong. Tho Germans could have taken out' the valves, held up their hands and cried ' Kamerad.' "Concerning the German commander most people think that the destroyer of the Arabic deserved his alleged fate. The statement that he attempted to surrender is contradicted. The etory that' kicked the faces of dead men'is a palpable lie. The -world knows what to think of those who whiue over tha necessary shooting of a- submarine crew, while perpetrating outrages like ! the sinking of the Persia. 1 '
