nation makes public herewith three
letters taken from one of its forth
coming pamphlets, German War
Practices.
These letters we're written to Am
bassador Gerard, as 1.-The representa-
tive of a Christian State,' by SOL
diers of the German Army in the
hope that he would be abe to put
an end to butcheries which the writ
ers declared they were forced to wit
ness and take part in.
Here is the protest of a German
soldier, an eyewitness OF slaughter
of Russian soldiers in the Masurain
lakes and swamps:
ut was frtghtful, heart-rending,
as these masses of human beings
were driven to destruction. Above
the terrible thunder Of the cannon
could be heard the heart-rending
cries of the Russians, 70 Prussians!
o Prussians!'-but there was no
mercy. Our captain had ordered:
The whole lot must die; SO rapid
fire. As / have heard, five men and
one officer on our side went mad with
those heart-rending cries. But most
of my comrades and the officers jok-
ed as the unarmed and helpless Rus
slams shrieked for mercy while they
were being suffocated in the swamps
and shot down. The order was:
Close up and at 1t harder For
days afterward these heart-rending
yells followed me, and dare not

There is no God. There is no NOR
atty and no ethics any more. There
are no human beings any more, but
only beasts. Down with militar-
ISM"
This was the experience of
Prussian soldier. At present wound
ed; Berlin, October %. 1914:
''If you are q truth-loving man
please receive these lines from a
common Prussian soldier"
Here Is the testimony of another
German soldier ON the east front:

"1n the name of Christianity

you of these lines.
Wounded Russians are killed
with the bayonet according to orders.
"All Russians who have surren-
dered are often shot down in masses
according to orders in spite of their
heart-rending prayers.
I'm the hope that you, as the rep
resentative of a Christian state, will
protest against this, sign myself,
"A German Soldier and Christian"
Il would give my name and regi-
ment, but these words could get me
court-martialed for divulging mill

This letter is from a soldier on
the western front:
