A German Garden

From the SpoiIS OF the charnel-
house and the dissecting room Frank
enstein created d prodigy, bereft of
morality, whose crimes surprised
him. Out of a mixture of Wends,
Sfavs. Teutons. and what not, cen
turies of military discipline, the pow
er kultur, physics and cheml
the discoveries OF modern science us
ed without scruple, have created a
Government of monsterS-Germany
We have seen the German diplo-
nistic courier carrying bombs in
Scandinavia. We have read of Ger
man missionaries bringing the germs
of anthrax and glanderS TO Sweden
for use in Russia. Mr.. Lansing let
US see. in the cold hight of official doe
umentS, the German Legation in Bu-
charest preparing, in company with
the Bulgarian Legation, pupils of
the Germans, civilization but thinly
vanishing their old AsiatlC strain,
destruction by explosives, by mi
crobes, against Rumanian property
and life.
The Bucharest authorities had no
ticed for sometime before Rumania
declared war much cautious bringing
of parcels and boxes into the German
Consulate. y part of this so deli
cately handled baggage was trans
ferred from the Consulate TO the
building of the Legation, some dis
tance away, on the night before the
declaration of war, Aug. %, 1916.
AS this treasure was not carried
away by the Legation on its depar-
he hnr OK
naturally assumed that it was still
in stu. and the Prefect of Police was
told to search for it. Some of it had
been moved to the German Legation
after our Legation had taken charge
of German interests in Rumanla.
The former confidential agent OF the
German Minister'S and some of its
servants admitted that. This echt
Deutsch violation of the good offices
of the United States is but the small
est part of the echt Deutsch tranSac-
ton. The Prefect of Police, accom-
panied by the American Minister,
visited the German Legation on Oct.
5. The German caretaker and ser
want admitted that on the day or the
day before the declaration of war
the former had received from an at
tache of the German Legation a par
eel sealed with the seal of the Ger
man Consul at BrasSo and had been
instructed to bury it in the garden
of the Legation. The caretaker
didn't have time TO do the job alone;
the attache helped in the burial. The
caretaker said that the boxes trans
ferred from the Consulate had lain
in the basement until the day before
the Legation left Then the Coun-
selor of the Legation told the care
taker to bury them Which he and
the servant did later, the Chancellor
of the Legation supervising the job
and warning the diggers to be care
fui.
The treasure. dug up, proved to
consist of explosives of-high deStruc-
tive power, of yials containing culti-
yations of the bacillus of anthrax
and OF the bacillus of glanders. All
this German entertainment for man
and beast must have been Smuggled
in when Germany and Bumania We're
at peace. The experts and the chem
lists have reported on the virtues OF
the buried legacy. Next to the pic
ture Of the attache welding the
spade with his own hands as he in
terS the murderOuS stuff in the gar
den the student OF German character
will like TO put the typewriter note
found above a layer of cotton WOOL
in the box containing four yials for
horses and four for cattle:
Each vial is sufficient for 200
head. To be introduced, il possible,
directly into the animals thrOats; if
not, into their fodder. Please make
a little report on the success obtain
ed there. In case of good results, the
presence of Mr.. kostoff for one day
! here would be desirable"
No nation but Germany is capable
Of these scientific SaVageries. OF no
/ other nation would they be believed.
| The implacable evidence, long, va
rious, cumulative, is piling up every
t day. With a Government engaging
in such horrors, who can be at peace?
