THE CRIME or GERMANY

philosopher Hegel. Dryander. a min
lister and preacher to the Royal Court
at Berlin, declared: ION our side We
are fighting with a selfcontrol, a
conscience, and a gentleness unex
ampled perhaps in the history of the
world"
Such are the knowingly treacherous
lies that the Germans are still putting
out through various sources through
this contry and other lands in the hope
that they may cause a revulsion OF
feeling against the allied plans to
war on Prussianism until it is de-
stroyed, says the Tampa Tribune.
In the face of those and other state
ments we offer the following exam
pies of this christian teaching" the
"self-control' and the "gentleness'
that is boasted of:
Madame Mauxpoix. aged seventy
five, living at Triaucourt, was kicked
to death while soldiers ransacked her
cupboards. Monsieur Dalissier, aged
seventy-three, belonging to Congis.
was summoned to give up his purse
He declared that he had no money !;
they tied him up with rope and fired
fifteen shots into his body.
At Parchinm, where 1000 French
civilians from twelve to seventy-seven
years of age we're interned, two starv-
ing prisoners who asked for scraps left
over were beaten with the butt-ends
of rifles to such an extent that they
died of their wounds. The young
son of one of them who tried to pro-
tect his father was tied to stake
for q week on end.
At Embermenil, Madame Mason
was shot for having, in absolute faltn
given some wrong information. As
she was obviously in a state OF preg'
nancy they made her sit down on a
bench to meet her fate. At Ethe two
PRIESTS were shot for having buried
some weapons At Marqueglise. a su-
nerior officer ordered the arrest OF four
vouug fugitives. Learning that two
of them came from Belgium, he ex-
claimed, sThe Belgians are filthy peo-
nle." and without more ado took his
revolver and shot them one after the
other. Three were killed outright,
tie fourth expired the following day.
We all know the celebrated order
of General Stenger in the region OF
Thiville (Meurthe-et-M oselle): mo
prisoners are to be taken. All prison
ers whether wounded or not, must be
slaughtered"
Read this letter found at L'Ecou-
yillon in German trench which we
captured: every day we take many
prisoners. but they are shot at once
as we no longer know where to put
them"
"Outrages upon women and young
girls have been common to an unheard
of extent No doubt the bulk of
these crimes will never come to light,
for it needs an concentration OF spe
cial circumstances for such acts to be
committed in public, Unfortunately
ard only too often these circumstan
ces have existed, e. g., at Beton-Bazo
ches and y-les-Provins, a young
girl and at st. Denis les-Reblax, a
mother-inlaw and little boy of eight
wears old. and at Coulommiers, a hus
hand and two children were witnesses
TO outrayes committed on the mother
of the family. Sometimes the attacks
were individual and sometimes com
mitted by bodies Of men, e. g., at NE
len-T, abouxhe, Margaret W., was VIC
lated by twenty German soldiers ane
they shot by the side of her father
and mother. They did not even re
spect nuns.
Now and then they let themselves
loose on a whole family: at Louppy
the mother and her two young girl
aged thirteen and eight, respectfully
were simultaneous victims of this say
agery.
The RACES sometimes lasted unit
death. At Nimy the martyrdom
little Irma c., lasted six hours IL
