SEES NO NECESSITY
FOR DEFENDING ARMY
Retired German General Says No

ticing Charges.
Referring to Accusations of Cruel
ties, Declares Those Who Wage
War Are Necessarily Barbarous.

NEW YORK, November 16.-The fol-
lowing dispatch from Copenhagen to
the London Daily Standard has been
cabled to the New York Times:
An amazing exposition of German
militarism Is given by Mai Gen. Won
Disfurth in an article contributed to
the Hamburg Nachrichten, in the
course of which this distinguished re-
tired officer of the German army
writes:
NO object whatever is served by
taking any notice of the accusations of
barbarity leveled against Germany by
our foreign critics. Frankly, we are
and must be barbarians. if by this we
understand those who wage war relent-
lessly and to the uttermost degree.
Defense Not Dignified.
TT is incompatible with the dignity
of the German empire and with the
proud traditions of the Prussian army
to defend our courageous soldiers from
the accusations hurled against them in
foreign and neutral countries. We owe
no explanations to any one. There is
nothing for us to Justify and nothing
to explain away. Every act of what
ever nature committed by our troops
for the purpose of discouraging, de-
feating and destroying our enemies is
brave act and good deed, and is
fully justified
There is no reason whatever why
we should trouble ourselves about the
notions concerning US in other coun-
tries Certainly we should not worry
about the opinions and feelings held
in neutral countries Germany stands
az the supreme arbiter of her own
methods. which in the time of war
must be dictated to the world.
