REPRISALS FOR HUN CRIMES
THE AIR RAID ON -FREIBURG (Bee. May 3, 8.5 p.m.) London, May 2. Speaking in the House of Lords, the Archbishop of Canterbury strongly protested against a policy of reprisals against the enemy, such, as the recent air raid on Freiburg. The country, ho said, was prepared to prosecute the war with all its power, and with every sacrifice, but it meant to emerge from tho war with untainted honour, and' clean Lands. '- Lord Buckmaster, the Bishop of Winchester, Lord 1 Selborne, Lord Lore-j burn, and Lord Parmoor disapproved! of the reprisals, on the ground that there was a danger that we might sink to the level of the Germans. Lord Cnrzon justified the : .government's action. . The Germans, he stid, wero peculiarly open to this kind of argument, and squealed like babies under our reprisals. There was sume evidence that it had a salutary effect. Only one hospital ship had been attacked sinpo Freiburg was bombed. The subject was dropped.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn.
