Against a non-fortified town, it must be noted that the pecupation of omuelewa preceded by an engagement with the Ger- chan troops on March 17 near Giam towi-thken, where s captured two gues four manchi e gnos, automobiles, and pri soners. Un the same day the Russian troop penstrated into-Memel, forcing the Ger mans to retreat. The inhabitants of the 10wn treacherously took part in the combat, .. forcing us to take the mesuras sanctionsd by the laws of war as generally adopted. The Russing troops could not have, sad indeed, vaght not to hara neted ctherwise in the given conditions. The
