 Hatred and fear as we shall sec later, have been the causes not only of the war but also of its cruclucs.
 Yet the question is fcrccd upon us how is it possible? We know that the French hate the Germans and certainly the Serbs hate the Nustrians and the Germans, and vet none of these nations have ever committed any eXcessos or crucltics. Yes, how is it possible that a quiet Austrian. citizen of Vienna, could burn down chmchcs and houses poison wells. gougc out eyes, flay men alive cut the throats of children, crush old men under their horses hoofs. hang little children stone women, bury people alive, and do other things which simply connot be said? These constitute the terrible crimes of the Austrian Government and of the Austrian officials which must be condemned. For, as we shall see, the Austrian people are only half guilty of these horrors and the govern ment bears the responsibiity.
 This is the way in which a man from Vienna becomes barbarian. Let us contemplate first a thing which is inevitable in all armies during per iods of fighting. Or better let us con template the psychological state of mind of an individual soldier in battle At the sight of blood of man or animal the soldier begins to charge. The sight has a tremendous influence upo, man. Afer the first killing. the first murdcd which he has committed tho man is quite changed. His whole ma turc urges him on in but one desire. to commit mor1 murders In him isl TOW awakened the animal instinct be- fore dormant, which rouses rage, blood lust which intoxicates him and makes him wild and blood-thirsty. That this will occur inevitably in every soldier is an old truth which military leaders make use of in actual fighting only To control the soldier and to bring him back to his normal state after a battle, international and local laws arc en- forced. The strictest rules tEc scvcr- est punishments have been created, all of which officers use to subduol
