O WARNING that any unlawful and in- humane act would be committed can pos- sibly be accepted as an excuse or palliation for that act, or as an abatement of the responsibility for Its commission. serPHis GOVERNMENT confidently expects that the imperial German government will dis- avow the acts of which the government of the United States complains, that they will make repar: tion so far a reparation is possible for injuries which are without measure, and that they will take immediate steps to prevent the recurrence of any- thing so obviously subversive of the principles of warfare for which the imperial German govern- ment has in the past so wisely and so firmly contended. ;.

One of Altman's fingers on his left band was bitten off. His face was a mass of bruises. He was evidently struck while driving slowly, for the machine, while dropping off the road, was not badly damaged.
