WHY WE FIGHT AGAINST PRUSSIAN AUTOCRACY
Study this remarkable picture and you cannot fall to understand why we are
lighting the Prussian autocracy. You will gee how truly the criminal spirit that
moves men in I he German army and navy to commit outrages against humanity
is embodied In the German kaiser. Here the artist has shown the autocrat and his
warriors as they really are In their effort to put the hobnailed heel of Prusslan
lsrn on the recks of free nations the Hermans plunder the homes of Innocent non
combatants. use the wlilU- tlajj to lure their enemies out Into the open to be shot,
murder women and children, cut off the hands of babies, and Introduce Into war

Statement of Crrdinal Mcrcier. J
"At the time of iin* Invasion Bel
gian civilians, in '-'is places, wore made
to take part in operations of war
against their own country. At Ter
nionde, Lebliuke, JJinani ami elsewhere
in many places, peaceable citizens,

"The synti'in of hu.il, »o<5 was carried
out with a ileree cruelty. The procla- I
■nation of August -1th, i|in tnl above |
declared. without circumlocution:
'UoHtages will he freely taken.'

Liege, iu tlf early da>j of August, rim
thus: 'Every r.gg:vs. !on committed
against the German troops by any per
sons other than soldiers iu uniform
not only expue-.-M the guilty person to
be Immediately shot, but will also eu
tall the severest reprisals against all
the Inhabitants, and especially against
those natives of Liege who have been
detained as hostages In the citadel of
Liege by the commandant of the Her
man troops.'
"These hostages are Monslgnor Kut
ten. bishop of Liege; M. Kleyer, burgo
master of Liege; the senators, repre
sentatives, and tiie permanent deputy
and sheriff of Liege."
The above quotation is taken from
"An Appeal to Truth," addressed No
vember 24, 1915, by Cardinal Mercier
and the other bishops of Belgium to
the cardinals, archbishops, and bishops
of Germany and Austria-Hungary.
"Some ten or a dozen American cor
respondents, of whom I was one, wit
nessed the first German drive through
Belgium. Most of us were so appalled
and horrified by what we saw as to be
come anti-German for life." Will Ir

Robbery Under Guise of Fines.
The contracting uatlons, including
Germany, who signed the conventions
of i lii- second-peace, conference at The
Hague, 1907, pledged themselves to the
following:
"Article L. No general penalty, pe
cuniury or otherwise, shall be intllcted
upon the population on account of the
acts of individuals for which they can
not he regarded as jointly and several
ly responsible."
"Article LII. ltequisltlons In kind
and services shall not he demanded
from municipalities or inhabitants ex
cept for the needs of the army of oc
cupation. They shall be in proportion
In the resources of the country, nnd of
such u nature as not to involve the in
habitants in tite obligation of taking
part in military operations against
their own country."
The German : u'.horlties have violat
ed these articles from the very begin
ning. As soon as they Invaded Bel
gium. heavy tines were laid upon Indi
vidual communities as reprisals for
some art against the (Senium army or
its regulations which was committed
within their boundaries. In "An Ap
peal to Truth" Cardinal Mercier cites
the following cases:
"Mullnes, a working-class town,
without resources, lias had a fiue of
20.UUtI marks indicted on it because
the burgomaster did not Inform the
military authority nf a Journey which
the cardinal, deprived of the use of his
motorcar, had been obliged to make
on loot. In fact, upon the flimsiest
pretexts heavy lines are inflicted on
communes. The commune of I'uers
was subjected to a line of :!,txxi marks i
because a telegraph wire was broken, j
although the inquiry showed that it \
had given way through wear."
Merciless Exactions.
In addition to such arbitrary,
sporadic exactions, in December, 1914,
the (iermans demanded 40,000,000 j
francs ($8,000,000), a month to be
paid by the Belgian provinces jointly. !
Concerning this enormous imposition
Cardinal Mercier says, in the "Appeal
to Truth:"
"Now, In December, 15)14. Belgium
was devastated. Contributions of war
Imposed on the towns and innumerable
requisitions iu kind had exhausted her.
The greater part of the lactones were
idle, and in those which v«|jo still at

all law, being fre.r"v "cOinmUirdeerefl.
"It was on this impoverished Bel
gium, living on foreign charity, that a
contribution of nearly 500,000,000
francs was imposed.'"
The German military rules have also
made the families responsible for act's
committed by or charged against mem
bers as is shown In the following ex
amples, which are quoted from the
"Appeal to Truth, cited above:
"The Belgian government have sent
orders to rejoin the army to the nil
litlanien of several classes. . . .All
those who receive these orders are
strictly forbidden to net upon them.
... In case of disobedience the i
family of the militiaman will lie held
equally responsible."
Punishment "Witnout Mercy."
The commander in chief of the Ger
man army in Belgium posted a procla
mation declaring:
"The villages where ads of hostility
•shall be committed by the inhabitants
against our troops *viII be burned.
"For all destruction of roads, rail
ways. bridges, etc.. the villages in the
neighborhood of the destruction will j
be held responsible.
"The punishments announced above
will be carried out severely and with
out mercy. The whole commun'ty
will be held responsible. Hostages
will be taken in large numbers. The j
heaviest war taxes will be levied."
At the end of the "Appeal to Truth
Cardinal Mercler says:
"But we cauuot say nil here, nor
quote all.
"If. however, our renders wish fov
the proof of the accusations . . .
we shall be glad to furnish them.
There Is not In our letter, nor in the
four annexes [to the "Appeal to
Truth], one allegation of v.Itich we
have not the proofs in our rccoidd."
