WASHINGTON, D. C, July IC
Austrla-IIungnry'M Indictment of tho
methods of warfaro of hor enomios,
giving scores of Instances of "barbar
ous treatment" of nationals and pri
soners and broaches of international
law, was mado public today In a
"Red Rook," Issued by t:io Austro
Hungarian Minister of Foreign Af
fairs through Its embassy hero.
Tho publication is called a "Col
lection of Evidence," nnd is divided
Into four parts.
""Thu first two parts," says a pro
fatory nolo Introducing numerous
depositions and affidavits, "contain
evidence concerning tlio treatment of
Austro-Hungarlan diplomatic and
consular officers by the govornmont
officers of tho hostile countries. Tho
casos adduced deal with tho viola
tions of tho most elementary rules
of tho right of hospitality, a rig-t
consecrated sinco tho remotest rulos
antiquity and respecloa ovon by tho
uncivilized nations or tribes. Never
boforo have so many cases of the
violations of this right been instanc
ed. In several cases tho lllogal ex
pulsion or arrest preceded tho ac
tual stato of war, a fact which still
furtlior aggravates tho offonso. Tho
expulsion of tho Austro-Hungarlan
diplomatic ngonts from Morocco and
Egyt, which Is lrreconcllublo with
existing International treaties, has
boon mado tlio subject of protests
lodged with the neutral powers.
Gives KwVlonee.
"Tho third part contains ovldenco
of tho treatment to which Austrian
and Hungarian citizens havo boon
subjected, in most cases boforo tho
opening of hostilities, in hostile
countries. Even if it Is to bo conceded
that tho prevention of tho enomy's
nationals from Joining tho war is to
a cortaln extent JuBtlfiablo, tho me
thods employed by tho hoatiio coun
tries, and especially tho arrest nnd
tho Incarceration of aged men, sick
persons, womon and children, aro
contrary to tho elomontary usages of
Immunity. It was a Fronch prores
Hor of law who thus doflued such
conduct: 'To Inflict Buttorlngs on flo
fonselcBs cltlzons of tho onomy with
out imperative reasoiiB Is to revert
to barbarism'.
Proof1 of Violation
"Tlio fourth part comprises authen
tic proofs of violations of tho laws
of warfaro. From tho ov;onco nero
wlth tho conclusion Is Inevitable that
there Is hardly a rule of warfare,
which has not been vlotatcd rupoat
edly by tho liostllo armies. To tho
numerous cases of disregard of the
regulations concerning tho use of
prohibited projectiles, consalncd In
Thu Hague itgrconient about tho
laws and practices of warfaro on lanl,
and of tho Geneva conventton, must
bo added tho unspoakablo outrages
of which tho Serbian nnd Montene

ruthlessly Illegal way of conducting
war operations, and tho cruel and
treachorous participation of tho ou
tlro population in acts or war, cer

countries havo undergone,
