Slaughter OF Innocent Frenchmen

The slaughter of one hundred innocent French
men in reprsal for the assassination OF two German
officers furnishes OF the sadlSt philosophy
of the Nazi authorities.
The killing of hostages is a revival of barbarisms
the world thought civilization had ougrown centur-
les ago. There not the slightest pretense that the
victims in any way concerned III the Staying OF
the Reich officials They picked at random from
all over occupied France Moreover another hundred
was slated for massacre in the event of the failure to
apprehend the unidentified gunner who fled when
their purpose was accomplished AS an act OF grace
the Nazis delayed the execution of the additional
doomed hundred for three days which was all the
time allowed the French to find and surrender the
assassins.
While it may be reasonably assumed that the
killing of the two Germans the act of super
patriots made desperate by the tyranny of the con-
~querors, that is only assumption. Not even the
nationality of the fugtives is determined. Perhaps
instead of being the expression of national hostility
it might have been done to avenge personal and
private wrong. It has even been known to happen
that officers have been slain by their own men be-
cause of an individual service crouch These are of
course merely speculations but they certainly as
tenable the theory Of General Stue pnage chief Of
the occupational forces who declared: "cowardly
criminals paid by England and Moscow killed the
field comrnandant of Nantes $ In expiation of
this crime have ordered as preliminary measures
that so hostages be shot Considering the gravity of
the crime, SO other hostages will be shot if the guilty
ones not arrested by midnight of October 23."

project It is blood-chiling possibly but is mol
only sample of the system of Hitlers world conquest
degenerate than the blasting of helpless ships
in mid-ocean without warning concern for men,
women and children dumped into the sea, or the
bombing of populous cites-which is another of the
CHASTITY expedents introduced to the world by the
Germans
Yet there are those who speak Of negotiated
peace with the monster responsible for these ourages
humanity. France negotiated and look what she
got! Hitler announced his disavowal of hostile pur-
poses against every nation that he thereafter over
whemed 1t is part of the Naz strategy to forswear
pledges and tear up treaties
Russia negotiated with him, to her shame for di-
rectly she found him batterng her cities and making
full fledged her. incidentally, Stain even
when he was collaborating with Germany prepared
for her treachry and Hitler got the surprise of his
Fuehrer life for Stain had prepared and at this writ
ing the Germans are still outside of Moscow, and have
lost more million men.
There is only peace possible with Germany,
and that is the wreck and destruction of the Hitler
machine It has to be demonstrated to that power
mad country that the Germans net the earth's
supreme people, and that the world will submit
to such enslavement the episode in France illus
trates.
The peace that will be signed will be signed in
Berlin-and Hitler Will not be there.
