Supine Docility of
Germans Blamed
For Their w ar Sins
Greeting to Returning Army
Says People Permitted
Themselves To Be Misled
by Lies of Their Rulers
The 4Ncw York Tribune
Foreign Press Bureau

Some Of the sins OF the German pco-
Pic and their leaders find strong ex-
preston in an article in the Crank
furter Zcitung," by Rudolf Kircher.
Writing in the form of a greeting to
the returning troops, he first tells them
Of the sins committed by Gcrmany's
lesders:
"Frghtfully have the German peo-
pic been sinned against" he writes
"Through tho miserable weakness of
our statesmen, through the criminal
polltltal propaganda, through the
megalomania Of spoils victors, through
prooigious blundcrs in the estimate Of
tho political effects of our military
deeds. But the army is the people, and
the people fell a prey not only to the
madness Of their leaders, but a prey
also to themselves"
People Failed in Duty
The sins of the German peonle
kircher confesses, began even before
the war broke out. When they saw it
coming they adopted a fatalistic atti-
tude, remained passive and so failed of
their duty.
although at other times they be-

statesmen, they believed in the crazy
theory of the unavoidableness Of this
war;" he adds. "And after the war
started? There was prodigious iubila-
ton when, decked with howcrs and
with proud flags flying around them.
they marched forth to their inroad into
Belgium"
And that invasion? An old plan of
