Such bul lets were found not only on French kill ed and wounded soldiers and on French lAisoners but also on English troops. You know what terrible wounds and awful suffering are caused by these bul lets and that their use is strictly for bidden by the generally recognized rules of international warfare. “I Solemnly Protest." “I solemnly protest to you against the way in which this wav is being waged by our opponents, whose methods are making it one of the most barbarous in history. Besides the use of these awful weapons the Belgian government has openly incited the civil poulation to .par ticipate in the fighting and has for a long time carefully organized their re sistance.
