This proclamation, posted at st. Die
(Vosges) Is a very complete example
OF German style in this vein Of litera-
ture. First self -slorificatory version
Of the origin Of the war; second, a
misleading promise Of security to the
civil population, like the proclamation
at Warsage-the voice Of the wolf ad-
dressing the lamb; third. the threat
or wholesale fire and slaughter
breathed out against this same civil
population II the German army is in
any way incommoded by anybody in
its conduct Of war-the commune and
the communal authorities to pay a col.
lective penalty Of the last severity for
any alleged infringement of the proc
lamation by an individual; and, last,

restriction to perpetuate the effect of
the sweeping threats that precede.
