CROWNING ATROCITY
OF GERMANY'S FOUL RECORD THE LLANDOVERY CASTLE OUTRAGE BITTER NEWSPAPER COMMENTS New York, July 3. The newspapers throughout the country are unanimous' in their disgust at Germany's sinking of the Llandovery Castle. Tho "New York 'Herald" says it is another reason why the-Germans will .be execrated by decent peoples for all time. Henceforth tho Germans have, no rightful place in civilisation. No language is strong enough to denounce such murderers. Tho "New York Tribune" says:—"Tho sinking shows incredible brutality, coupled with blind trickery like that of ft jungle monster gone mad. Germany has clearly embarked on the policy of sinking hospital ships." The "New York World" says: "It is an infamous crime, for which Germany must expect fearful retribution." Tho "Now York Times," commenting on the Llandovery Castle outrage, says: "Tho sinking of an illuminated hospital ship adds another atrocity to Germany's foul record. Her cold-blooded assassins have desecrated the cross of mercy. They strike to slay, glutting their cruelty on helpless non-combatants. Tho j Allies must see that Germany pays full retribution for this 1 crowning atrocity."— I Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn. 1 London, July i. the Llandovery Castle crime continues to excite the bitterest comments in the Press and from tho platform. Dutch newspapers have joined in tho chorus of abuse of German methods, outraging every decent sentiment of hu-manity.—Aus.-N.Z. Cablo Assn. GERMANY'S IMPUDENT DENIAL BRITISH MINE ALLEGED TO BE RESPONSIBLE. . London, July i. Germany's reply to tho Admiralty's statement consists of an amazingly impudent denial, alleging that a British mine was responsible for tho sinking.— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn. ' ESCORTS FOR HOSPITAL SHIPS. (Rec. July 5, 7.25-p.m.) London, July i. In the House of Commons Mr. Bonar Law said the Llandovery Castle carried Jio ammunition. Tho German allegation that she was sunk by a British mine was self-contradictory. The survivors actually communicated with the German submarine. The Admiralty is considering tho providing of an escort for every liospital ship.—lfeuter.
