It is probable that these small-scale atrocities have, in the aggregate, caused more protracted and acuter suffering to a greater number of people than was caused by the wholesale massacres at which the world stood aghast. This may almost certainly be inferred, indeed, from the figures as to loss of life on British merchant vessels given in the House of Commons on June 30, 1917. It was stated that 9,748 non-combatants had been done to death, of whom 3,828 were passengers, while 5,920 were offic...ers and seamen. In a very few instances the Germans had no doubt the letter of the law on their side, since the vessels were attempting to escape; but the proportion of lives lost under these conditions was cer- tainly infinitesimal; and the attempt to escape was morally if not legally justified by the fact that there was no guarantee, and indeed no probability, that the crew (or passengers) of ships which surrendered would meet with the humane treatment prescribed by international law.
