the thing itself that it has been,
and even now Is, difficult to write
calmly and justly about it ”
Herbert Hoover, writing for
this book of his experiences la
Belgium, says: "The sight of
the destroyed homes and cities,
the widowed and fatherless, tbe
destitute, the physical m sery of
tbe people but partially nour.
isbed at best, the deportation of
men by tens of thousands to
slavery in German mines and
factories, the execution of men
and women for paltry effusions
of their loyaltf to their country,
tbe sacking of every resource
through financial robbery, the
fattening of armies on the sien
der produce of the country, the
denudation of the country of cat
tie, horses, and textiles; all these
things we had to witness, dumb
to help other than by protest and
sympathy, during this long and
terrible time, and still these are
sot the events of battle heat, but
the effects of a grinding heel of
a race demanding the master,
ship of the world All these
things are known to tbe world—
but what can never be known is
the dumb agony of the people,
tbe expressionless faces of mil-
lions whose souls have passed
the whole gamut of. emotions
And why? Because these, a free
and democratic people, dared
plunge their bodies before tbe
march of autocracy.”
Frederick C. Walcott’s descrip
tion of devastated Poland com-
prehends tbe monstruous woes
inflicted by the Prussian system
upon those defenseless people.
In a statement prepared for
the book, Vernon Kellog said: "I
went into Belgium and occupied
France a neutral, and I main
tamed while there a steadfastly
neutral behavior, but I came out
no neutral.....I went in
aiso a hater of war, but I came
out more ardent hater of war;
but, also I came out with inerad-
icable conviction, again, that the
only way in which Germany un
der its present rule and in its
present state of mind can be kept
from doing what it has done is
by force of arms.”
The book .gives excerpts from
the diaries of German soldiers
of which these are specimens:
“In the night of August 18-19
the village of Saint Maurice was
punished for having fired on Ger-
man soldiers by being burnt to
the ground by German troops.
. . . . The village was sur-
rounded, men posted about a
yard from one another, so that
no man could get out. * Then tbe
Uhlans set fire to it house by
house; neither man, woman nor
child could escape; only the
greater part of the live stock
we carried off, us that could be
used Any one who ventured to
come out was shot down. All
tbe inhabitants left in the. village
were burnt with the houses ”
‘ A horrible frith, of blood. The
whole village burnt, the French
thrown into the blazing bouses,
civilians with the rest ”
That the reign of frightfulness
was the definite policy of the
German government is testified
to by an amazing collection of
documents and utterances of
German officialdom Herewith
are excerpts from documentary
proof furnished by German rec-
ords (gtablishing tbe truth be
yond question:
"As soon as you come to blows
with the enemy be will be beaten.
No mercy will be shown! No
prisoners will be taken! As the
Huns, under King Attila, made
a name for themselves, which is
still mighty in traditions and
legends today, may tbe name of
German be so fixed in China by
your deeds, that no Chinese shall
aver again dare to look at a Ger-
man askance. . . . Open the
way for kultur once for all.”—
From the Kaiaer's speech to ths
soldiers on tbe eve of their de
parture for China In 1900.
“Whenever a national war
breaks oat, terrortom becomes
a necesaary military principle ”
—General Von Hartmann. «
“The city of Brosselto, esolae-
Thl» is not onlv one of the best and
most efficient medicines for coughs,
colds and croup, but is also pleasant
and safe to take, which is important
when medicine must be given to chil-
dren. Many mothers have given it
their unqualified endorsement.

Some of the blackest pages in
ail history, comprising a docu
mentary record of "deeds that
make one despair of the future
of the human race," are found
in a hook named "German War
Piaclicea,” which has just been
issued at tbe Government print
ing office by the committee on
public information for free dis
tribution. It is edited by Prof.
D. C. Munro of Princeton', and
other scholars
Tbe dumbfounding evidence
which this presents to the jury
of mankind is drawn mainly from
German and American sources,
and includes official proclama
tions and utterances of the re
sponsible heads of the Imperial
German government, letters and
diaries of German soldiers, quo-
tations from German newspa
pers, and material drawn from
the archives of the state depart
ment which lay bare the‘story
of inconceivable German atroci-
ties. .
The purpose of the book is to
show that the system of fright-
fulness, itself the greatest atro
city, is the definite policy of the
German government, so sinister
that German soldiers have them
selves at times revolted. Individ
ual acts of wanton cruelty and
barbaric destruction are cited
only to illustrate tbe operation
of tbe remorseless system.
The book supplements the
Bryce report which was the first
official survey of the path of bor
ror, ruin and death left by the
German army on the lands of in
nocent and defenseless people
The book is supplemental also to
the official reports by the Bel
gian commission and the French
minister of foreign affairs, and it
reveals more of die damning
German war philosophy as ex
pressed in tbe German White
Book, and various official utter
ances, extenuating revolting
crimes on the grounds of expe
diency and the advancement of
that "kultur” which now mocks
its own nime throughout the
civibzed world The humanity
of German soldiers was so torn
by the system of brutality th^t
they cried out in letters to Am
bassador Gerard, one express
ing his protect
slaughter of the Russians in the
treasurer, Mrs Joe Hill; agent: Masurian lakes and swamps by
lor Missionary Voice, Mrs.Lewis.
Anyone who expects to help
pay for the parsonage stove will
please hand the money in before
Christmas. [Note: Too late fcr
