Convinced
Hun Brutality in Belgium
No Casual Occurrence.

Those apoloSists for Germany who
committed by their soldiers were more
than individual crimes may be inn
by j. \. Seldom one OF the most in
fiucntial English labor leaders and u
militant pacifist and opponent of mili-
tarism in every form up to the time Of
the WIZ. Mr.. Seldom was the prcsi-
dent of one OF the largest British labor
unions and was elected to parliament
by the labor vote. This is what he
says:
When accounts came to England OF
outragcs committed by German troops
against Belgium civilians, most Of us
at first did not believe them. Even
though the Germans were our enemies.
VIC refused to credit them with actions
so vile. We thought that possibly a
few individual acts had been cAag-
ger;ltcd and masnified. We did not
propose to, blame the whole Of a nation
for the cxcesses of ID few of its menu
bers. We gave Germany credit for
some respect for the humane con-
ventions which she herself had ac-
copied and promised to observe.
But before long we had to believe.
We learned on proved evidence that
the horrors we had at first refused to
think possible were only a part-and
by no means the worst-Of what was
going on. Many of the deeds Of the
Prussian army i'll Belgium were so
terrible that they could only be whis-
pcrcd from man to man. We found
that the reign of terror in the con-
uuercd territory-the burning of viii
lagos. the shooting of peaceful priests.
schoolnllsters and doctors as hostages.
the outrasinS of young girls and mar
ricl women. ana the wholesale dcstruc-
ton of homes--was no chance excess
of individuals. but the systematic and
deliberate policy Of the German gov
eminent, prepared for in advance. and
carried throuS.. without justice or
mercy.
