Third. the use Of poisonous case:
| and liquid fire IN direct violation o
| Article % Of the rules which forbid
such methods of warfare.
Fourth, the levying of vast fines anC
| penalties upon cities, towns. and VII
lagos, amounting in many Instances K
millions of dollars, in pretended pun
| ishment for the most trivial acts of in
| dividuals, in violation of Article so Of
| the Hague rules which prohibits such
! penalties.
Fifth, the destruction by fire OF vii
lagos and cities. and the killing oil
their inhabitants, young and old, men
| and women alike, because (as was
claimed) some of their inhabitants
had fired upon German soldiers. The
best known case is the destruction OF
Louvain in Belgium, and the murder
of hundreds of its inhabitants, III
| August 1914. But this was only one
outrage of many. Even if in any OF
/ these cases the German claim should
turn out to be true the German Gov
eminent would still be without proper
excuse. For the furnishing OF an en-
tire city by fire and sword for the acts
OF individuals is contrary to the rules
agreed to obey.
Sixth, the forcible removal OF q
quarter Of a million of men and women
from Belgium and France to Germany
and compelling them to work in fac.
tories and labor camps at work of di
rect or indirect military value.
Seventh, the sinking of neutral
freight and passenger ships without
warning, and regardless OF whether
they were carrying contraband of war
or not
Eighth, the murder (for this it isl
OF civilian neutrals rightfully travel
ing on passenger ships; whether the
ships be enemy or neutral, all the laws
OF God and man require that the lives
OF passengers and crew be first pro-
tected
Ninth, the destruction of fruit trees
and of all private property in the
evacuated portions Of France, render
ing it desert Of death, even when no
military advantage was gained thereby
Tenth, the destruction of the
choicest cathedrals and other treas
ures of medieval architecture, in viola
ton of Article Sc of the Hague rules.
Eleventh, the wholesale robbing of
the funds and property of banks and
private individuals, in violation of Ar
ticle So of the Hague rules.
Twelfth, the carrying on of plots
and conspiracies by their diplomatic
agents in this country while we were
still at peace, not merely against other
countries, but against our own coun-
try as well.
If these crimes are crowned by final
victory in the war, international law
necessarily ceases to exist.
Why? Because never again can
confidence be placed in nations
promise. This means the turning of
every state into an armed camp, and a
world in which perpetual dread of
ones neighbor reigns supreme
