Killed or seriously njured-2,OOO
civilians.
Carried off to Russia-1O,7O0 per-
sons.
Fugitives who have had to leave
home-350,OOO to 100000.
Killed or carried off by Russians
$4,000 horses, 25O,OOO cattle, 100000
hogs, $4,000 sheep, 10000 goats, 6OO,-
600 chickens, $4,000 geese.
The Investigators who have COM
piled these statistics made it perfect
ly clear that "only a portion of this
damage may be laid directly to the
Russians vandalism and that part
of it is chargeable to the inevitable
ravages Of war. This is particularly
true of that portion of East Prussia
which was the scene of the first in
vasion.
Practically all are agreed that the
Russian forces during the first inva-
sion were soldierly and orderly, and
that most of the acts of violence, plum
dering, murder and wilful arson and
destruction came in the second and
longer invasion.
The Russians, it is said, may on
their first invasion have been conf
dent of eventual success and may
therefore have desired to spare ter
ritory which they ultimately expected
to annex. The new and relatively in
experienced troops taking part in the
second invasion may have been respon-
sible. Anger and disappointment at
setbacks made have instilled a spirit
Of blind revenge. Or, lastly, the Rus
slams may have thought to instill fear
into the German forces by their dep
relations and violence.
