Quoting at Length from a
Tribune Editorial

"And from the outset of the war the
Belgian episode has endured as mai
damnation of modern Germany. 1t is
one thing about which there is TO argu-
ment in America. 1t is one phase OF
the war which is settled, not for the
duration of the war, but for the lifetime
of men and women now alive. We are
numb with the horrors of this war we
are deafened with the charges and coun-
ter charges, but in the matter OF Bel
GUM our minds remain clear and fixed.
It is not surprising that the nation
which murdered Belgian women and
children is now enslaving Belgian men.
1t is not surprising that the nation
which is responsible for what was done,
not merely in Louvain, but in all the VII
lagos from the frontier to Dlnant
through which the troops passed, should
now be invoking the methods of African
slave traders in the conquered regions.
"Mr. Frank H. Simonds, the writer OF
that editorial, has one Of the clearest
conceptions in America of the war IN
Europe. He sees it from the European
standpoint. He has presented here the
gist of the situation which has resulted
from this great crime of Germany"
Monsieur Lausanne paused moment.
He had put aside the newspaper and
crossed his hands before him on the
table. He went at the subject very
methodically and very logically.
"The slavery of captives by the Ger
mans in this war began before this slav-
cry in Belgium" said he. "The first time
the Germans deported their captives in
numbers in this war was last April III
Lille. a town in the north of France. The
greater part of the population of North
ern France-the old men and the young
men-were sent away to work for the
Germans. The people were given little
or no notice, but were ordered to assem-
BILE at certain places at certain times.
Families were separated. Fathers were
taken away from their wives and chill
dren. Boys were forced to leave their

And the German Governor said to the
Bishop: Go about your business Hold
your mouth
This crime of the Germans of de-
porting the people Of Northern France
and making slaves of them is all the
more marked because Germany was one
of the fifty-four nations which in 1907,
at The Hague, signed Article XLVI OF
the Convention. This article provides
that the honor and the right of the FAM
ily, the right of individuals and of pri-
vate property shall be inviolable; so
also the religious convictions and tie
full exercise of creed must be respected.
To take girls only sixteen and seventeen
years of age away from their parents
and place them among lot of barbarlc
Prussian soldiers, made more brutal
than in normal times by the eXcesSes OF
a ruthless warfare, is not respecting this
article of The Hague. 1t is not respect
ing the rights of families or Of individ-
uals, which the German government
swore upon its honor to respect. The
German government has not respected
the rights of private property, which it
swore upon its honor to respect. Fifty
four nations-among them forty neu-
trail nations-signed this agreement.
Nobody obliged them to sign it; they all
signed It of their own free will. Not one
neutral nation which signed this docu-
ment protested at the enforced slavery
en- the part of Germany of the old men
and the young men and the tender
maidens of France"

Some Details of Freedom,
As Poland Knows Ii

THE slavery in Poland followed
shortly after the German invasion OF
that country. On October II last Cen
eral Won Beseler, the Governor of Var
sovie, in Poland, issued an order to the
effect that every man and every woman
would be obliged to work. Ii they have
no work the military administration will
find work for them. The man or the
woman who refuses the work offered to
them by the administration will be pun
ished by Imprisonment and by such
other measures as the authorities may
direct. Another provision of the order
positively prohibits any one to furnish
food or help of any kind to all those who
are voluntarily unemployed, and viola.-
ton of this order will be punished by
from two to eight months imprison-
ment of the person or persons offering
aid.
"Not one of the forty neutral nations
which, with Germany, signed the article
of The Hague Convention prohibiting
this sort of slavery has protested
against Germany's crime in Poland
Then there is the slavery in Belgium.
We are reading of that every day in the

their whereabouts or their fate.
But the German slavery did not stop
in France" he added. There was
Poland, which magnanimouS Germany
is to give freedom under Germanic rule
and regulations, provided the able
bodied men of Poland shall enter the
German army and fight bravely for the
German interests against their own in
terests, and provided Germany wins
the war and does not change her mind as
to the freedom of Poland after she is
victorious. Already the promise to
Poland has been qualified by Chancellor
Won Bethmann-Hollweg, who stated be-
fore the Main Committee of the Reichs
tag that freedom was dependent on the
success of the plan to raise Polish
army that would fight for Germany. If
the number of Poles enlisting voluntari-
" should be insufficient, he said, Ger
many would introduce compulsion, and
if the Poles resisted, or if the projected
Polish army proved unsatisfactory to
the General Staff, the Emperor would
annul his promise to create kingdom.
And an annulment of a promise or the
violation of a treaty-judging from
past performances-would not, in all
probability, cause His Majesty any seri-
Gus loss of sleep.

"And with the usual German effront-

let me show you the trickery of such an

In the German Mind
There Is but One Race

when you know the German charac-
ter you will not be surprised at these
acts, at which all humane people revolt.
The rights of the small nations have no
place in the German conception of right
and wrong. Every nation that comes
under the sway of Germany always has
been treated with the single viewpoint
that what is best for Germany must be
carried out, regardless of the welfare Of
other peoples. In the German mind
there is only one race-and it matters
not in what country the German hap
pens to reside-and that race is the Ger
man. The German is constantly taught
that one idea at home, and it is constant
~ placed before him by Germanic propa-
ganda if he be a citizen Of another
country.

Fatherland if He had not reserved us

"Not only has the Kaiser constantly
admonished his people of their divine
responsibility to civilize the entire world
by the sword, if necessary-but the
professors of Germany, and even the
clergymen of Germany, have necessarily
preached in the same strain. Pastor
Loebel, of Leipzig, said this:
Heaven cherishes the Germans and
has designated them as the People Elect.
Ye make that war with the strong con-
viction that we execute the divine viii
in establishing our domination
