POLICY OF FRIGHTFULNESS
Terrorism Declared a Necessary Prin
ciple in National Warfare—Bru
talities May Be Said to Be Di
rectly Attributable to the
Emperor Himself.
The committee on public infor
mation, appointed by the president,
and consisting of the secretary of
state, secretary of tear, secretary of
the navy, and George Creel, official
censor, has made public a mass of
evidence dealing with German war
practices which shows the kaiser's
leaders in the field and in command
of captured points to be directly re
sponsible for the beastliness which
has characterized the operations of
the "Huns," in the present conflict.
Quotations from the pamphlet fol
low:
For many years lenders In every civ
ilized nation have been trying to make
warfare less brutal. The great land
marks in this movement are the Ge
neva and Hague conventions. The for
mer made rules as to the care of the
sick and wounded and established the
lied Cross. At the tlrst meeting at Ge
neva. In 1864, It was agreed, and until
the present war it has been taken for
granted, that the wounded, and the doc
tors and nurses who cared for them,
would be safe from all attacks £y the
enemy. The Hague conventions,
drawn up in 1SJH) and l'.tO". made addi
tional rules to soften the usages of war
and especially to protect noncombat
ant* and conquered lands. Germany
took a prominent part in these meet
ings. and with the other nations sol
emnly pledged her faith to keep all the
rules except one article In the Hague
regulations. This was article 44,
which forbade the conqueror to force
any of the conquered to give Informa
tion. All the other rules and regula
tions she accepted In the most binding
manner.
Hut Germany's military leaders had
no intention of keeping these solemn
promises. They had been trained
along different lines. Their leading
generals for many years had been urg
ing a policy of frightfulness. In the
middle of the nineteenth century Von
Clausewltz was looked upon as the
grentest military authority, and the
methods which he advocated were used
by the Prussian army In its successful
wars of 1866-1871. Consequently be
cause these wars had been successful,
the wisdom of Von Clausewltz' meth
ods seemed to the Prussian army to be
fully proved.
Policy Frightfulness.
Now. the essence of Von Clausewltz'
teachings was that successful war in
volves the ruthless application of force.
In the opening chapter of his master
work. "Vorn Krlege" ("On War"), he
says:
"Violence arms Itself with the inven
tions of art and science. . . . Self
imposed restrictions, almost Impercep
tible and hardly worth mentioning,
termed usages of international law,
accompany It without essentially Im
pairing Its power. . . . Now, philan
thropic souls might easily imagine that
there is a skillful method of disarm
ing or subduing an enemy without
causing too much bloodshed, and that
this is the true tendency of the art of
war. However plausible this may ap
pear. still It Is an error which must be
destroyed; for In such dangerous
things as war, the errors which pro
ceed from a spirit of 'good-natured
ness' are precisely the worst. As the
use of physical force to the utmost ex
tent by no means excludes the co
operation of the Intelligence, it follow
that he who uses force ruthlessly, with
out regard to bloodshed, must obtain
a superiority, if his enemy does not
so use It."
In 1877-7S, in the course of a series
of nrtlcles upon "Military Necessity
and Humanity," General von Hartmann
wrote, In the same spirit as Von Clau
sewltz:
"The enemy state must not be spared
the want and wretchedness of war;
these are particularly useful In shat
tering its energy and subduing Its will."
"Individual persons may be harshly
dealt with when an example is made
of them, Intended to serve as a warn
ing. . . . Whenever a national war
f.reaks out, terrorism becomes a nec
essary military principle." "It Is a
gratuitous Illusion to suppose that
modern war does not demand far more
brutality, far more violence, and an
action.far more general than was for
merly the case."
In 1881 Von Moltke, who had been
commander in chief of the Prussian
army In the Franco-Prussian war, de
clared:
"Perpetual peace is a dream and not
even a beautiful dream. War is an ele
ment in the order of the world estab
lished by God. By It the most noble
virtues of man are developed, courage
and renunciation, fidelity to duty and
the spirit of sacrifice—the soldier gives
i his life. Without war, the world would
' degenerate and lose Itself In material
Ism." "The soldier who endures suf
fering, privation and fatigue, who
courts dangers, cannot take only 'in
proportion to the resources of the
country.' He muft take all that Is nec
essary to his existence. One has no
right to demand of him anything super
human." "The great good in war is
that it should be ended quickly. In
view of this, every means, except those
which are positively condemnable.
must' be permitted. I cannot, In any
way, agree with the declaration of St.
Petersburg when it pretends that 'the
weakening of the military forces of the
enemy' constitutes the only legitimate
method of procedure in war. No! One
must attack ail the resources of the
enemy government, his finances, his
railroads, his stock of provisions and
even his prestige. . . ."
Many other examples might be cited
from the writings of German generals.
The very best illustration of this atti
tude, however. Is to be found in the
emperor's various speeches, and espe
cially In his speech to his soldiers on
the eve of their departure for Chins* in
1901). On July 27 the kaiser went to
Bremerhaven to bid farewell to the
German troops. As they were drawn
up, ready to embark for China, he ad
dressed to them a last official message
from the fatherland. The local news
paper reported his speech In full. In
it appeared this advice and admonition
from the emperor, the commander in
chief of the army, the bend of all Ger
many :
Soldiers Told to Be Merciless.
"As soon as you come to blows with
the enemy he will he heiiten. No merry
will he shown! No prisoners will he
taken! As the Huns, uniler King At
tlln. innde a name for themselves,
which Is still mighty In traditions and
legends today, may ihe name of Ger
man he so fixed in China hy your deeds,
that no Chinese shall ever again dare
even to look at u German askance. . . .
Open the way for Kuitur once for all."
Even the imperial councilors seem to
have heen shocked at the emperor's
speech, and efforts were promptlj
made to suppress the circulation of his
exact words. The efforts were only
partly successful. A few weeks later
when the letters from the German sol
diers in China were being published.
In local German papers, the leading
socialist newspaper, Vorwaerts, ex
cerpted from them reports' of atroci
ties under the title" "Letters of tin'
Huns." Many of the leaders in the
reichstag felt very keenly the brutality
of the emperor's speech. The obnox
ious word "Huns" had excited almost
universal condemnation. When the
reichstag met. in November, the speech
was openly discussed. Ilerr Lieber of
the center (Catholic party), after quot
ing the "no mercy" portion of the
speech, added, "There are, alas, in Ger
many groups enough who have regard
ed the atrocities told In the letters
which have been published as the duti
ful response of soldiers so addressed
and encouraged." The leader of the
social democrats, Ilerr Bebel, spoke
even more pointedly. Toward the end
of a two-hour address on the atrocities
committed by the German soldiers in
China and on the speech of the em
Deror. he said:
"If Gorman}* wishes to bo the bearer
of civilization to the world, we will
follow without contradiction. Hut the
ways and means In which this world
policy has been carried on thus far, in
which it has been defined by the em
peror . . , are not, in our opinion,
the way to preserve the world position
of Germany, to gain for Germany the
respect of the world."
The consequences of the emperor's
speech Bebel aptly described*
"By It the signal was given, garbed
in the highest authority of the German
empire, which must have most weighty
consequences, nut only for the troops
who went to China but also for those
who stayed at home. An expedition
of revenge so barbarous as this has
nev.-r occurred in the last hundred
