GERMAN PRESS COMMENT

[U Nunn Tram Association.] London, February 6

The Hamburger Nachrichen says that Mr Lansing’s code of rules for submarines considers only merchant ships and non-conibatnts carefully protecting old men tottering to their graves with gout, and women, not considering the brave men of the submarines, who are the most valuable part of the human race.

United Press Association,

Paris, February 7
