made his first conservation appeal,
and asked the people to abstain from
the use of -four. meats. sugar and fats
to the extent they had been accus-
toned A fair majority OF the peo-
pie have periodically conceded with
the expressed wishes OF the Admins

convinced Of the necessity calling for
this abstinence. and II may be that the
lack OF cooperation on the part Of
this minority is responsible for the

dian warriors in colonial days lived on

In the meantime the nations surplus

At ten o'clock we started out, armed

five feet at a time, ducking star shells,
with strays cracking overhead, I
reached their wire. I secuted along

Pretty soon I reached barbed wire,

I put out my hand and touched one Of
the barbed wire stakes. 1t was iron.
The British are of wood, while the
German are iron. My heart stopped
beating; by mistake I had crawled
back to the German lines.
I turned slowly about and my tunic
caught on the wire and made loud
ripping noise.
A sharp challenge rang out. I
sprang to my feet, ducking low, and
ran madly back toward our lines. The
Germans started firing. The bullets
were biting all around me, when bang!
I ran smash into our wire, and sharp
challenge, "'Alt, who comes there"
rang out. I gasped out the password,
and, cropping my way through the lane
in the wire, tearing my hands and
uniform, tumbled into our trench and
was safe, but I was a nervous wreck
for an hour, until a drink Of rum
brought me round.

Help to Break Clausewitz.

Help to Break Clausewitz.
Who is Clausewitz?
Few Americans either know or
care.
The name has a strong Teutonic
flavor, and for that reason alone 1t
may be that the normal minded, lib
erty loving American prefers to keep
this acquaintanceship as distant as
possible.
That is a mistake. Americans must
know Clausewitz For ClauseWitz is
more than a mans name. 1t is a
philosophy-a terrible judgment
which has been pronounced upon all
mankind, and which will throttle civ
ilization with a bloody hand unless
Clausewitz, and all it stands for, is
wiped off the earth.
"Children, Women, Shot by Ger
MANS
That was the headline of news
story which smashed us between the
eyes only yesterday.
Another Belgian atrocity?
No. A Russian.
The dispatch came from Moscow.
Some villagers in Republican Russia,
resisting a demand for money by
German troops, had, in the struggle,
killed an officer-A German Officer.
They probably never had heard of
what had happened to the Belgian
peasants who had deared to resist
German troops.
But they were soon to learn what
happened when villagers of an in
vaded land, under any circumstances
whatsoever, kill one of the Kaiser's
officers.
The whole village was promptly
burned.
Outside the circle of flaming homes
and buildings had been drawn cir
Gle of German machine gunners.
: AS the flames of the burning homes
began to light the heavens, as the
women and children, frightened and
terrorized, fed into. the streets, the
machine guns began to spit.
:. Down they went, women and chill
dren, men-every Russian villager,
the innocent with the guilty, if, in-
deed there were any left who had
been guilty of any part in the killing
Of the Kaiser's officer.
Remember what happened at Tam
ines on August 21, 1914? What fol-
lowed at Dinant, at Aerschot, at Lou
vain, at scores and scores of Belgian
cities and villages?
On the evening Of Saturday, Aug
ust %, group of between 400 and
$50 men was collected in front of the
church, not far from the bank of the
Sambre. A German detachment
opened fire on them; but, as shoot
ing was slow business, the officers
ordered up machine gun, which
soon swept off all the unhappy peas
ants still left standing. *'*
Thus runs the official Belgian &C
count of the massacre Of 'Tamines,
where $50 of the Inhabitants had
been slaughtered in cold blood be-
cause Of an attack, supposed to have
been made by French soldiers and
Civic Guards from Charleroi, upon
some German Uhlans.
And as the Belgian government
and the whole world in 1914 pro-
tested the Belgian atrocities and tried
to make Berlin hear, so the Russian
government is now protesting the
Russian atrocities and is trying to
make Berlin hear.
Will the Russian government sue
ceed where the whole world failed?
They will not.
And the reason why they will not
can be given in one word-Clause-
witz.
Clausewitz is the German military

The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1918-05-02

Clausewitz is the German military
god. He is the supreme authority on
'fHow to Make War"
Clausewitz has taught the Ger
mans that: 'tTo introduce into the
philosophy of war principle of mod
GRAFTON would be an absurdity. War
is an act of violence which in its ap-
plication knows no bounds. Fright
fulness is military necessity. The
terrorization of the civil population
of the enemy is the first principle of
successful warfare. The aim of an
army of invasion must be to smash
the total spiritual resources of peo-
pie, to humilate them, to stupefy
them-in a word, to break their spi-
rits.''
That is Clausewitz, put into bloody
reality by the German general staff.
That is why Belgium was slaugh-
tered.
That is why Russia is being muir
dered.
That is why German atrocities are
a concomitant of all German mill
tary action.
It makes no difference whether the
nation is innocent, unresistant, pig
my Belgium, or giant Russia, that has
laid down it's, arms, has signed the
German peace treaty and voluntarily
submitted to the Kaiser's yoke.
