German War Practices

Some of the blacklist pages in all
history. comprising documentary
record of deeds" that make one
despair of the future of the human
race" are found in a book named
German War Practices" which has
just been issued at the Government
Printing Office by the Committee on
Public Information for free distribu-
ton. 1t is edited by Prof. D. C
Munro, of Princeton, and other
scholars,
The dumbfounding evidenc e which
this book presents to the jury of
mankind is drawn mainly from
German and American sources, and
includes official proclamations land
utterances Of the responsible heads
OF the Imperial German Government,
letters and diaries Of German soldiers
quotations from German newspap' rs
and material drawn from the
archives of the State Department
which lay bare the story of incon.
ceivable German atrocities
The purpose of the book is to show
that the system of frightfulness,
itself the greatest atrocity, is the
definite policy of the German
Government, SO sinister that German
soldiers have themselves at times
revolted. Individual acts of wanton
cruelty and barbaric destruction are
cited only to illustrate the operation
of the remorseless system.
The book supplements the Bryce
report which was the first official
survey of the path Of horror, ruin,
and death left by the German army
on the lands of innocent and de
fenseless people. The book is sup
Elemental also to the official reports
by the Belgian Commission and the
French Minister of Foreign Affairs,
and 1t reveals more of the damning
German war philosophy as expressed

ia the German White Book and
various official utterances, extenu.
atiDgrevulline crimes on the grounds
OF expectancy and the advancement
of that "Kultur" which now mocks
its own name throughout the civil
lied world. The humanity Of Ger
man soldiers was so torn by the
system Of brutality that they cried
out in letters to Ambassador Gerard,
one expressing his protest against
the slaughter Of the Russians in the
Masurian lakes and swamps by
saying. There is no God, there is
no morality. and no ethics any more;
there are no human beings any
more, but only beasts"
The illuminating reports of Brand
Whitlock. Minister to Belgium. tell
Of miseries inflicted upon the Belgian
people. Mr.. Whitlock saying; One
is so overwhelmed with the horror
of the thing itself, that it has been.
and even now is. difficult to write
calmly and justly about it"
Herbert Hoover, writing for this
book Of his experiences in Belgium.
says: The sight Of the destroyed
homes ano cities. the widowed and
fatherless, the destitute, the physical
misery Of the people but partially
nourished at best, the deportation Of
men by tens of thousands to slavery
in German mines and factories, the
execution of men and women for
paltry illusions Of their loyalty to
their country. the sacking of every
resource through financial robbery.
the fattening Of armies on the slend.
er produce of the country. the de.
mutation of the country of cattle,
horses, and textiles: all these things
we had to witness, dumb to help
other than by protest and sympathy,
during this long and terrible time,
aud still these are not the events of
battle heat. but the effects of
grinding heel of race demanding
the mastership of the world. All
these things are known TO the
world-but what can never be
known is the dumb agony of the
people, the expressionless faces of
millions whose souls have passed
the whole gamut Of emotions And
whyy Because these, a free and
democratic people. dared plunge
their bodies before the march of
autocracy."
