NO QUARTER ON THE BATTLEFIELD
GERMANS QUOTE LIGNY AS A PRECEDENT Amsterdam, May 2. Baron von Tiedlitz, witing in the "Berlin Post,"/says that no quarter was given at Ligny in 1815, and the example might be repeated on a greater- scale owing to Mr. Asquith's, Mr. Churchill's, and Lord "Kitchener's provocative speeches regarding the treatment of British prisoners. The Socialist paper "Vorwaertz" disapproves of this threat, and adds: "Such articles will increase the hatred on both sides, arid thus innocent soldiers will suffer." [liign.T, in Belgium, thirteen miles north-east of Charleroi, was the scone of Napoleon's victory—on the same dav as Quatrj-Bra •. (Juno 16, 1815)— over the Prussians under Blu--1 oher. The Prussians lost 12,000 men, I the French 8000.]
