PITILESS PIRATES.
A REMARKABLE SEMI-OFFICIAL UTTERANCE.
London, February 10.
A dispatch, dated from the cruiser Moltke, February Ist, and entitled "Our Outposts in the North Sea," appears in most of the German papers, having been circulated broadcast from semi-official sources. The following passage is noteworthy:— • '
"Iron times call for iron hearts, which annihilate the enemy without pity. What matters to us his whining lamentation over the British baby inevitably struck down by each blow of our weapons? What care we for Belgian refugees, the .meat for whose dinner was salted by the TJ2I? Belgian refugees should be regarded as contraband, because England is pressing them into thr. service of the forces allied to her, j'lr-t as in former times she snatched up sailors for her fleet."
[*This appears to be a reference to the recent sinking off Havre of a British ship with a cargo of meat.]
