ITO the bitter end"
"Strike, for Democracy

the day Of judgment. The photographs
Of dead and mutilated girls, children
and old men tell no lies. For the FIRST
time In history the German has reduced
savagery to a science, therefore this
great war for peace must go on until
the German cancer is cut clean out OF
the body
Catalogue OF Crimes.
"The cold catalogue OF German
atrocities now documented and in the
government achieves of the different
nations, makes up the most sickening
page IN history. Days spent upon the
records preserved in Southern Bel
GUM, Northern France, or in and
about Paris, days spent in the ruined
villages Of Alsace and Lorraine, leave
one auseated-physically and mem
tally. II Is one long black series Of
legally documented atrocities. Every
solemn pledge that Germany signed a
year and a half before, at the Hague
convention, as 10 safeguarding the
Red Cross, hospitals, cathedrals, IL
braries, women and children and IN
armed citizens, are scoffed at as
scrap Of paper
"These atrocities also were COM
mltted not in a mood Of drunkenness
nor an hour Of anger, but were organ
lied by a so-called German efficiency,
and perpetrated on a deliberate, cold,
precise, scientific policy of German
frightfulness. 1t is not simply that
that looted factories, carried away ma
chlnery, robbed houses, bombed every
farm house and granary, left no plough
nor reaper, chopped down every pear
tree and plum tree with every grape
vine, and poisoned all well.
The Germans slaughtered old men
and matrons multilated captives in
ways that can only be spoken of by
men in whispers: violated little girls
until they were dead; finding a calf
skin nailed upon a barn door to be
dried. they nailed a babe beside It
and wrote beneath the word Zwei,
they thrust women and children be
| tween themselves and soldiers coming
up 10 defend their nHtive land;
bombed and looted hospitals Red
Cross buildings; violated the white
flag, while the worst ATROCITIES cannot
even be named in this mixed audi
ence."
DR. Hills asserted that many
bodies mutilated by the Germans
have been preserved and will arise
as If from the tomb to accuse
those who perpetrated the atrocities.
DR.. Hills displayed token Of
aluminium worn by German soldiers,
showing an image OF God with a
sword in his hand, and the inscription
Strike him dead. The day of judg
ment will ask no questions"
It is all a part of the system OF
German military efficiency" SAID Dr.
Hills. A part of that philosophy
enumciated by General Won Hartman;

necessary by military considerations
