AIR MURDERER’S INSOLENCE.

Writing on the "Devil’s Work,” of these German airmen who so deliberately bombed the great hospital at Etaples. "The Hospital” remarks: — "As we were preparing this article, a striking piece of evidence of the truth of what is here urged was brought to us by a. great hospital official, who had come from a bedside of one of the patients who had come from the bedside of one of the patients who had occupied a bed at Etaples on that fatal Sunday evening. There were vacant beds in his ward, and one of them was soon occupied by the captain of the German Gotha brought down, or his colleague, who escaped death with him, but was' injured* "In the houghtiest possible way this man insisted upon the offirer in command being sent for. When he arrived the German demanded that he should at once be transferred to England, on the ground that he was a combatant and under the regulations he could not be retained in the centre of the war area, which' Etaples was, as the raid that night had shown, and other raids would prove it to be in the near future. When he” persisted, he was informed that not only would be not be removed, but if other raids were coming, or in any case, he would be the very last living man to be moved from his bed.”
