GERMAN USE OF PROHIBITED IMPLEMENTS1 OF WAR

Among savage2 races, or even nearer home, before certain agreements had been made between nations, poisoned or barbed arrows, small shot, pounded glass, and soft-nosed bullets were used to aggravate3 the condition of wounded enemies to the worst possible extent. To-day all these contrivances are prohibited, with the consent of Germany, who signed the conventions which embodied4 this prohibition5. German jurists like Bluntschli approved this concurrence6 of opinion, and the German General Hartmann declared that for a long time these kinds of projectiles8 have gone into the lumber-rooms of arsenals9.

This fact, however, did not prevent Germany from resorting in this war to the use of weapons of the same kind, or even the still more formidable dum-dum bullets. Moreover, dum-dum bullets are expressly specified11 among the list of prohibitions12 laid down by the Hague Conference, 29th July, 1899, prohibitions signed by Germany and her ally Austria. These declare that “the contracting parties forbid the use of bullets which expand or easily get flattened13 in the human body, such as bullets with a hard outer case which does not completely cover the core or is notched14 at the end.”
