The admiral was speaking after lecture by Major-Gen. Sir Henry Thuillier, Colonel Commandant,
Royal Engineers, at the Royal
United Service Institution.
Describing many accepted views on inhumane methods of war na "false, foolish sentimentalism,” the lecturer said that:
To mow down millions of con- scripted young men with ma- chine-guns was no more humane than to drop bombs on their fathers and grandfathers; whose greed brought about the war.
Civilians who made munitions and provided the troops with food could not expect to be im
mune.
Gas was the most humane of weapons.
It was no more inhumane to be killed by a submarine torpedo a. battle. than by a shell from ship.
It was no worse for submarine to sink a ship and leave the crow to its fate than to bombard a town with artillery regardless

It says: "A request was received at 11.18 p.m. on December 1 for two blood donors to be provided to Middlesex Hospital, the name of the patient not being given. These donors were sent in the or- dinary way, the blood was taken, and both returned to their homes within an hour.
"It appears that the blood was placed in special containers and conveyed to Buckinghamshire, where it was transfused into her late Royal Highness.
