Declares Blinded Nation Is
Staggering Toward
the Abyss

Denunciations Of Germany as the
arch-culprit responsible for the pres
ent war in Europe have been plentiful
during the last II months, but all or
practically all Of them, have been ut
tered by natives Of the countries ar
rayed In arms against Germany. or of
neutral lands. Now. however, comes
Rapther denunciation, one Of the frank
est, bitterest and most unsparingly
antl-German OF the lot, which has the
rare distinction of being written by q
German.
It Is called ~yAccuse"-the famous
phrase used by Emile lola in the
Dreyfus case-and It has just made
its appearance IN Lausanne, Switzer-
land. WHITTIER its author went In or
der TO make possible the publication
or his book. His identity remains hid
den. by German Is the only clue
given on the title page Of this most
sensational OF all attacks on the policy
Of the German war party. He pre-
diets defeat for that party in the pres
ent war and q German republic in the
near future, won by the people in the
teeth Of Prussian opposition.
He sums up the responsibility for
the war as follows:
A War Of Aggression.
The German and Austrian govern
ments long ago planned it, not only
militarily, but politically.
They resolved long ago 10 make this

trial Of seven persons accused of COM
plicity in the bomb outrage at the So
ia Casino on February 13. The ac-
cused described themselves as "Sa-
tanists." this being the title OF the an

feel convinced. that have been forced
to judge as German against Ger
mans, to my pain and shame, for the
honor of the truth and the good of
the German people. For history, too,
will write, In letters of flame these
words: Weighed and found wanting!
In portioning out the blame for the
present devastating war, the author
OF ''JAccuse' singles out for his spe-
cial wrath Herr Won Bethmanu- Holl-
veg, the imperial chancellor, and the
crown prince. The former, he says,
though originally well-inclined, was
eventually caught up and swept away
by the Prussian war party which saw
in successful war the only means
for maintaining its power in the en-
pire. The latter, for years leader of
the Prussian 'jingoes," is partly re-
sponsible, says this latest denouncer
of Germany, for the gradual veering
Of the kaiser, his father, from the
paths of peace to those Of war and
world domination.
Victory Impossible.
The writer declares that victory
for Germany and Austria Hungary is
unimaginable, at best all the central
empires can hope for is drawn bat
tie. On this point he declares that
there can be no doubt; the superiority
of the Allies in numbers and re-
sources is altogether too great He
declares that the fighting on the east
ern front is nothing more, on Ger
many and Austria's part, than a de-
fensive campaign, which up to now has
been conducted successfully by Ger
many, unsuccessfully by Austria. is

half or all of Poland in our posses
sion?" he inquiries
He also SCOTS at the chances for
Germany of winning on the western
front Thousands upon thousands OF
corpses for the sake of occupying a
few square meters of flooded, exhaust
ed land, covered with destroyed towns
and villages, for the sake OF madly
harboring the never-to-be-ful6lled
dream of getting to Calais and Eng
land-that is the way he looks at what

Germany No colonieer.
German though he be, the writer of
"JAccuse'. treats with the utmost
scorn Germany's desire to supersede
England as mighty colonial power.
Prussian ideas, according to him. can
never forge an empire like the Brit
ish. He dismisses the idea that Ger
many is called upon to found an over
seas dominion with these bitter words:
.'He who tolerates slavery at home
cannot bring freedom to the world.
What country is politically so back
ward and shackled as Prussianized
Germany. with the exception of Rus
STA and our worthy ally. Austria-Hun-
gary? What land is so little qualified
to assimilate foreign peoples, to allow
them to live according to their own
customs and usages, with their own
culture and language, to make them
happy and. therefore, loyal? Our poll
cy in our Polish and Danish territory
and in Alsace-Lorraine speaks volumes
on this point.
