Germany's Hideous War
on Red Cross Hospitals

ton and habit, without its restraints
and It's idealism, would be intolerable,
except to human goriIlas who in a
necessity could discard every consider
alton which ameliorates coarse and
hard conditions, which dignifies hu-
man processes and makes men and
women endurable to each other.
The German military code is one
which destroys every refinement OF
emotion and sentiment with which
perceptfve people distinguish their
lives from the lives of apes. A war
which abolishes every such con-
sideration is a war against the es-
sential attributes OF humanity; is war
Of total destruction, designed to re-
establish the jungle and give it over
to jungle inhabitants.
From nurses, physicians, and wound
ed men have come courageous but pitt
full accounts of torture inflicted upon
soldiers whose nerves and bodies are
shattered and upon their self-sacrt-
ficfng attendants by the air raids
against hospitals. The defenseless in
mates know that the Red Cross Is
the target sought by the bombers.
They can tell when the squadron how
ers over the hospital in the night try
ing to make certain that the bombs
Will reach their objective. Many OF
them do. Nurses, doctors and wound
ed men are blown to pieces. The raids
against the hospitals are carried out
in cold blood and with defined pur-
pose.
Hospital ships are sunk and the
whole campaign against the Red Cross,
against the instrument OF mercy,
against the defenseless, wounded and
sick is one which grows more damn
able as attempts are made to justify
it

Chicago Tribune: The German mill
tary practice of bombing hospitals and
attacking hospital ships Is clearly
demonstrated as a poicy German air
men and German submarine comman-
ders must have orders to destroy the
Red Cross establishment as if it were
a part of the combatant force. No i'm
munity is granted the service which
has been protected in the name OF
humanity.
German military intelligence thus
reduces German military policy to
isavagery, and probably could defend
the practice with logic which even
az It would be precise, would also be
a revelation Of something inherently
and viciously wrong in the German
mind and character.
It is true that the hospital service
may return soldiers to the fighting line.
A hospital is a source of supply in that
the men whose wounds it heals and
whose strength it nurses back may
later be killing Germans. If a German
airman drops a bomb on the hospital
some OF these men who might later
kill Germans will be killed them
selves.
The reasoning IS correct and re-
mains hfdeous. No excuse Of rational
ity can remove the curse which Ger
man military brutality is putting upon
the German name. It Is making NOR
ally leprous people of the Germans, de-
filing the whole people and making
them accursed.
It seems to be outside Of German
comprehension that a world governed
by the ideas prevailing in the German
military command would be unfit for
habitation, except by such people as
the Germans use for their purposes.
