not-blooded passions aroused by war condi- tions, but they are caused by systematic cam palgns or terrorism, vandalism, and outrages carried out in cool calculation in the most brutish manner possible.
 The spirit which is necessary to enable the commission of such crimes, many of them unprintable, has been calculated in the Prus- sian soldier by years of training and teach ings. These teachings are not kept secret, and they are based upon the spacious plea of necessary for the spread of higher Ger man civilization, or Kultur."
 It is the prime aim of the Teutons to dis possess the conquered peoples of their terri tory, to transplant them from their native land and make them slaves for their conquer ors. This is admitted by prominent German leaders. Says one pan-German, writing anony- mously: Germans alone will govern. * * * They alone will exercise political rights; they alone will have the right to become land owners; thus they will acquire the conviction that, as in the middle ages, the Germans are people of rulers. HosVever, they 1ViH con- descend SO far as to delegate iMfeyiov tasks to foreign subjects zOho live an,ong them" This effuson was written in connection with the scheme for Great Germany, or Mittel Europa.
 Friedrich Lange, in Reines Deutschtum, written in 1904, follows this idea by saying "If 7Ve take 7ve must also keep. A foreign when the rights of property of Germans are rooted in the soil. With all necessary pru- dence, but also aOith uuflexible determination, c brocess of appropriation should be inaugu- rated, by 7Vhich the Poles and the Alsatians aud the Lorraiuers 7Vonld be gradually trans- ported in the interior of the empire, zvhile the Geru,ans reblace them om the frontiers" /" This proposal has been carried out by the wholesale in both Belgium and northern France and is now in process in Italy. Says Treitschke in "Politics:" "T'here IS mo other course open to ns but to keep the subject race in as Mncivilised c condition as possible, and thus prevent them from becoming dan ger to the handful of their conquerors"
 War, according to the Germanic theory has three purposes, one of which is to unify the strong nation and make it free, another is to establish it on a healthy, substantial basis. The third, as given by Klaus Wagner, is as follows: "A third, however, can be sug- gested That nation, even 7vken her na- tional and fundamental interests do not CO i,,cide zVith those of another nation, still must rudely destroy this peoples higher Interests, must indeed reU1Orselessly cut of from this foreign people the meanS of living for the future. It is great and powerful nation which overturns less courageous and ire quently degenerate people and takes its terri tory from it. For great, strong people finds its houses too narrow, 1t cannot stir and move about, cannot work and build up, thrive and grow. The great nation needs new territory. 1herefore it must spread ont o0er foreign soil, aud must disblace strangers 1Uth the bO7Ver Of the s1V0yd. *
 ''Slowy, not too hastily, we people of Germanic blood must proceed in the settle ment of the lands which are to be ours in the future *
 "The lands which we need today and in the future for colonizing we must thoroughly cleanse of foreign clements"
 So in the lands which they overrun, the Teutons carry out this campaign, deliberately planned beforehand, of enslavement and ex- termination Women are despoiled and chil- dren murdered ruthlessly, while the strong are made slaves for Germans, and the aged and infirm left to starve and die.
 This has not come to us, but it was in tended for us as for the rest of the world Listen to this same Klaus Wagner's exposi- tion of our case. He says: By right of war the right of strange races to migrate into Germanic settlements will be taken away. By right of aVar the non-Germanic (population) m America aud great Australia must be set tied in Africa * * By right of avar zee can send back the useless South African romance peoples and the half breeds to North Africa"
