crisis Germany reasons thus: Ger
man civilization is not merely the
greatest civilization in the world, it
is the only civilization in the world.
The second proposition is that to
spread that civilization in the world
is the chief end of man; to deny it, to
oppose it, to question the shining su-
periority of another civilization, to
hold that another civilization is even
tolerable, is moral infraction which
deserves determination. Keep the
fact always in mind that this is not
the kaiser's cult alone, that this is not
the creed exclusively of the military
feudalism of the Junker class, but
that this doctrine is the handspring
which has held Germany together for
three years of bitter hardship; has
made Germany walk through death at
Verdun, behind the stupid crown
price, smiling; has made Germany
send the best she breeds to the
shambles without wincing; has made
Germany stalk unquestioning through
famine which is cutting off the old
people in winrows as a scythe and is
whitening the babies like a plague.
Monumental conceit for German
civilization and moral sense blunt
ed to accept any deed which would
seem to help that civilization, these
are the keys to the interior situation
in Germany. They unlock the Ger
man heart and reveal its depths of
SniritIIa1 doora da+iop And ya%
strangely enough this very knowledge
of the German heart must acquit Ger
many of the national cruelty, the bar
barrie blood-lust, the unspeakable
wickedness with which she is accused
by the world Germany is not wanton-
ly cruel She is merely scientific in her
warfare without mercy,
scientific without the restraining
Christian conscience which has bound
humanity together in certain accept
ed kindnesses more or less for thou
sand years. Germany has abandoned
the common restrains upon barbarism
which the human civil conscience has
erected during the Christian era. Ger
many knows instead of these re-
straints only military necessity. The
military conscience has replaced the
civil conscience in Germany-not
merely junkerdom but through the
nation. The small group of protesting
German parifsts does not affect the
actual conduct, nor the accepted be-
liefs of the nation.
So exactly does this theory of Ger

gium right after the orgy of rapine
and plunder and murder that came
during the first six weeks of the war,
once declared that the world would
be worse shocked at Germany's ex-
planation and justification of the out
RACES than the world was shocked by
the outrages themselves. And Ger
many's explanation was terrible. Ger
many admitted the charges, but de-
clared that they were demanded by
military necessity! The scientific mil
itary conscience was dominating Ger
many. Germany did not revolt; the
words Belgian" atrocities" in Ger
many mean the dreadful things the
Belgian civilians did to the German
army! The history of the past three
years in neutral countries near Ger
many well justifes Germany for in
serting the frightfulness clause in her
officers manuel. As a scientific plan
to keep Northwestern Europe at
peace, Belgian atrocities paid well;
but they brought England and Amer

man egotistic ruthlessness fit the
facts of the so-called German atroci-
ties that it may be well to consider
in review for a moment t. 9se atroci-
ties, not as the mad deeds o. blood
crazed nation, but as the scientific
policy of logical people unrestrained
by Christian prohibitions against in
justice and cruelty. Belgium, for in
stance, bleached under the rule of
frightfulness. Now frightfulness was
all calmly thought out years before
the war and set down as an article in
the manual of the German army Off
Ger. The clause commanding fright
fulness is not duplicated in the man
ual of any other army officer In the
world. And Germany before the war
decided that frightfulness was the
best policy.
So the German army officer was
prepared for it, and an investigator
of the Belgian outrages from The
Hague is responsible for the story
that he has never heard of an authen-
ticated case of the rape of any Bel
gian woman, not committed by Ger
man officer. The private soldiers did
none of that. And why was it done?
one asks. The answer is not that the
officers were drunk. The answer is
that Germany demanded frightful-
ness, first to quell the civilian popu-
lation; second to show Holland and
Denmark and Scandinavian neutrals
what would happen to nation which
opposed German civilization in war.

GERMAN FR|GHTFULNESS
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch)

1dTlS, NOV. l..
In Europe the further one goes
back from the German trenches the
more frequently he meets the word
"Hun." Among English speaking
soldiers the German soldier is called
"Fritzie," and among the French he is
known as the "Boche." In spite of
the, fact that during the last six
months or a year gradually grow
ing distaste has been manifest to take
the German prisoner at all, there
really is no keen feeling of hatred
among the armies of the Allies to
ward the German soldier. "Fritzie'
and the "Boche" are not terms of ap-
probrium.
On the contrary, the English Tom
my is such an amiable chap that fire.
quently before he is sent to the
trenches, just as he is given his post
graduate work in the European train
| ing camp, after his course is complet-
ed in England, they trim him off with
hate sermon, recounting the dread
full things done by the Germans, to
keep the English soldier on his toes
in the fight. No such sermon is need
ed for the French, nor for the Canad-
ians, nor the Australians, nor for the
New Zealanders. They have their
own private grievances.
The Canadians have seen their own
men crucified. One hesitates to believe
| this. But men of undoubted veracity
vouch for the story. 1t is not true that
the Canadian prisoners were crucified
and lifted over the trenches on their
crosses. But no one who talks per-
sonally to the scores of living men
who have seen the spectacle can doubt
them when they declare that they
came upon two or their comrades
nailed to opposite sides of a double
barn door in Northern France, after
German retreat, and that one poor
man was still dyingl
Convincing Testimony
Nor can one question the veracity
of the French doctor who declares he
saw this during the early days of the
war: A German troop with a machine
gun battery occupied one end of a
street in a French village. The houses
rising from the narrow street were
stone houses, and to dislodge the ma
chine guns it would be necessary to
charge down a stone canyon. The bat
terry with so men could stand against
a division of infantry or cavalry,
without heavy artillery. The Germans
held the lines approaching the town
The only way to them was down the
stone canyon-to certain death. The
French came up, saw the machine
guns and stopped. The Germans ban
tered them, dared them to come on,
called them towards, hooted and leer-
ed at them. To give the order to go
forward was to wipe out the regf-
ment. The French paused, waiting for
reinforcements But to get the French
to charge upon the machine guns the
Germans went into the houses behind

CAMP is TOO CROWDED

Gen. Gorgas in his report said:
"In the recent inspection of Camp
Wheeler I found conditions as had
been indicated by reports. There
have been some three thousand cases
of measles, and at one time there
were three hundred cases of pneu-
monia in the hospitals. In the past
month there were sixty deaths from
pneumonia. The height of the measles
epidemic was passed ten days ago,
and the disease is now markedly on
the decline, but pneumonia doesn't
develop until week or ten days after
the incidence of measles, and we can
therefore expect considerable num-
Der of deaths from pneumonia. What
ever the original cause of the epidem-
ic and present conditions, the evils
are accentuated by the crowded con-
dition of the camp"
