GERMAN WRITINGS PROVE
HUN CRUELTY IN AFRICA

A report on German methods in her
African colonies has bsen made public
by tho British actina secretary OF the
interior, Union of South Africa. The
evidence upon which 1t was based was
taken from German documents and the
sworn statements OF native chiefs and
Europeans who-Were familiar with the
colonies. as we'll as from writings by
the governing Germans themselves.
The report establishes that any sug-
gestion that the colonies be returned to
Germany produces the utmost conster-
nation among the antives. The first rs
years Of German reign was a record Of
official bad faith. oppression and bar
barlty, eliminating in a revolution.
The Germans treated THEN agree
ments with native chiefs as scraps of
paper; robbed them of their cattle.
drove them to work for ridiculous
wages that were often never paid, and
m~altreated their women.
The Heroros tribe was reduced from
$4,000 to 1880. the Hottentots from
10000 to $500 and the erg-Damaras
from 10000 to 1880. One governor is-
sued an order that mo Heroro man.
m or babe was to receive mercy
or quarter" and yet, in a secret re-
port IN 1912, h governor gives as the
reason for h acknowledged desperate
feeling among the natives, the brutal
excuses of Europeans against them"
The report states that Instances of
gross conduct which, for sheer de-.
pravity and immortality are well nigh
unbelievable, are also contained In the
file OF affidavits; but they are hardly
fit for publications"
