BOMBARDMENT OF UNDEFENDED TOWNS. CRIMES COMMITTED DURING BOMBARDMENT. DEFINITION OF BOMBARDMENT
The bombardment of towns, villages, and dwelling-houses is forbidden when these places have no military defence. If they have, bombardment is permitted, but under certain conditions. The commander who carries it on is bound to give notice beforehand to the enemy authorities, or at least to do everything he can to warn them. In the second place, bombardment must spare buildings dedicated1 to religion, science, and philanthropy, and also hospitals and centres for the sick and wounded, provided, of course—
(1) that these buildings have not been used for military purposes;
(2) that they are distinguished2 by some mark besiegers can see.
Consequently, the crimes which an army may commit, so far as bombardment is concerned, are as follows—
(1) bombardment of an undefended town or village.
(2) bombardment of a town or village without previous notice.
(3) bombardment of churches, monuments, scientific and charitable institutions, hospitals, ambulances.
[56]
Undefended Towns bombarded by the Germans
The Germans committed all these crimes simultaneously3, but the least excusable and most cruel of all was the bombardment of towns which the enemy had evacuated5, and to which, therefore, he could render no further aid.
Three French towns and districts, Pont-à-Mousson, Douai, and Lille, met with this fate from artillery6 and aeroplanes.
Bombardment of Pont-à-Mousson
This began on the 11th August, continued the following day, then on the 14th August and finally became intermittent7. The firing on the town was resumed more than a hundred times. It was an open town, however, and the French army were not defending it, further than that the bridge over the Moselle had been put in a state of defence at the outbreak of hostilities
