German Soldiers Incited to Acts
of Cruelty by General Von
Bissing.
'EMANATION OF HIGH KULTUR'
Governor General of Belgium on Rec
ord as Declaring the Innocent Must
Suffer With the Guilty—Irvin
Cobb's Tale of Horrors.
The horrors deliberately and sys
tematically inflicted upon the people
of Belgium by the German soldiers,
under the orders of their command
ing officers, are shown in all their
hide outness by official documents
and the testimony of eye-witnesses,
as well as by letters written by Ger
man soldiers in the field. The bra
zen effort of Emperor William to
cast the odium of the fearful deeds
on the Belgians is also shown. Quo
tations given are from documents
already made public or in the pos
session of the government at Wash
ington.
This interview wus reproduced in
the Berliner Tageblatt of November
20. 1914.
Mr. F. C. Waleott of the Belgian re
lief commission tells in the Geograph
ical Magazine for May, 1917, of meet
ing Gen von Bernhardl:
"As I walked out. Gen. von Bern
hardt came Into the room, an expert
artilleryman, a professor iu one of
their war colleges. 1 met him the
next morning, and he asked me If I
had read Ills book, 'Germany in the
Next War.'
"I said I had. He said: 'Do you
know, my friends nenrly ran me out
of the country for that?' They said,
'You hav.e let the cat out of the bag.'
I said. 'No, I have not, because nobody
will believe it.' What did you think
of it?'
"I said. 'General, I did not believe a
word of It when 1 read It. but I now
feel that you did not tell the whole
truth;' and the old general looked
actually pleased."
Speaking on August 29, 1914, at
Munster, of the extreme measures
which the Germans felt obliged to take
against the civil population of Bel
glum. Gen. von Bissing said:
"The Innocent must suffer with the
guilty. ... In the repression of
Infamy, human lives cannot be spared,
and if Isolated houses, flourishing vil
lages, and even entire towns are anni
hilated, that is assuredly regrettable,
but It must not excite ill-timed senti
mentality. All this must not in our
eyes weigh as much as the life of a
single oue of our brave soldiers—the
rigorous accomplishment of duty is the
emanation of a high kultur, and in
that, the population of the enemy
countries can learn a lesson from our
army."
Officers Encouraged Atrocities.
Gen. von Bisslng. after his appoint
ment as governor general of Belgium,
repeated In substance the above opin
ion to a Dutch journalist. The inter
view is published in the Dusseldorfer
Anzeiger of December 8. 1914.
Irvln S. Cobb states his conclusions
on the responsibility of the higher Ger
man command for the atrocities:
"But I was an eyewitness to crimes
which, measured by the standards of
humanity uud civilization, impressed
me as worse than any Individual ex
cess, any individual outrage, could
ever have been or can ever be; be
cause these crimes indubitably were
Instigated on a wholesale basis by or
der of officers of rank, and must have
been carried out under their personal
supervision, direction, and approval.
"Taking the physical evidence offer
ed before our o<vn eyes, and buttress
ing it with the statements made to us,
not only by natives, but German sol
diers and German officers, we could
reach but one conclusion, which was
that here, in such and such a place,
those in command had said to the
troops: 'Spare this town and these
people.' And there they had said:
'Waste this town and shoot these peo
ple.' And here the troops had discrim
inate!}- spared, and there they had in
discriminately wasted, in exact ac
cordance with the word of their supe
riors."—Irvin Cobb, Speaking of Prus
sians, New York, 1917, pp. 32-34.
Hoodwinked German People.
These ideas, then, were systemat
ically impressed upon the military and
official classes. It was necessary,
aowever, to work upon the minds of
the German people, so that they might
iend themselves to the inhuman poli
cies advocated by the military leaders.
To do this was difficult, for, as has
been show* often, many of the civil
ian leaders of public opinion, time and
again, expressed their horror of the
new spirit which was animating the
military authorities. The reichstag
debates give ample evidence of this,
and the task of the military leaders
would have been still more difficult if
the reichstag had any real power.
(See War Information Series No. 3,
"The Government of Germanysee
also Gerard's "My Four Years in Ger
many," chapter 2.)
The military authorities and those
in sympathy with them have ddne all
in their power to stimulate a hatred of
other peoples in the minds of the Ger
mans. A campaign of education be
fore the wnr was rarrled on with the
object of Impressing upon the minds
of the Germans the treacherous nature
! of the peoples against whom the mili
tary lisarters were anxious to wage
war. Not only were the Germans grad
ually led to believe that It was neces
sary to tight a defensive war against
unscrupulous foes, but also that these
foes would violate every precept of hu
manity, and consequently must be
crushed without mercy as a measure
of self-defense. The fruits of this
campaign of suspicion and hatred be
came evident when almost at the out
break of the war many Germans be
came possessed with the belief that
the whole population of Belgium, the
first country to be Invaded, had vio
lated every rule of honorable warfare,
that the francs-tireurs. (guerrilla#)
were everywhere present doing their
deadly work In secrecy or under the
cover of darkness; that women and
even children were mutilating and kill
ing the wounded or helpless prisoners.

German soldier to his brother. (This
letter, now in "the possession of the
United States government, was obtain
ed for this pamphlet from Mr. J. C.
Grew, formerly secretary to the United
States embassy at Berlin.)
"November 4. 1914.
"The battles are everywhere ex
tremely tonaclous and bloody. The
Englishmen we hate most and we want
to get even with them for once. While
one now and then sees French prison
ers, one hardly ever beholds French
black troops or Englishmen. These
good people are not overlooked by our
infantrymen; tfiat sort of people Is
mowed down without mercy. The
losses of the Englishmen must be enor
mous. There is a desire to wipe them
| out, root and all."
urgea to Mil wnnoui rny.
Extract from another letter to a
brother:
Schleswlg, 25, 8 14 (Aug. 25, 1914).
"Dear Brother, . . . You will
shortly go to Brussels with your regi
ment, as you know. Take care to pro
tect yourself against these civilians,
especially In the villages. Do not let
anyone come too near. They are very
clever, cunning, fellows, these Bel
gians ; even the women and children
are armed and Are their guns. Never
go inside a house, especially alone.
If you take anything to drink make
the Inhabitants drink first, and keep at
a distance from them. The newspa
pers relate numerous cases In which
they have fired on our soldiers whilst
they were drinking. You soldiers must
spread around so much fear of your
selves that no civilian will venture
to come near you. Remain always in
the company of others. I hope that
you have read the newspapers and that
you know how to behave. Above all
have no compassion for these cut
throats. Make for them without pity
with the butt-end of your rifle and the
bayonet. . . .
"Your brother, WILLI."
The emperor gave his sanction to
the reports of the brutal acts of the
Belgians In a telegram to President
Wilson.
"Berlin, via Copenhagen, Sept. 7, 1914.
" 'I feel it my duty, Mr. President,

"OEltAKP, IVrlin."
Lorenz Muller in the Herman Cath
olic Review. Per Keis. February, 1915,
made "the following siateiuent in re
gard to the emperor's telegram:
"Officially no instance has been
proven of persons having lired with
the help of priests from the towers of
churches. All that has been made
known up to the present, and that has
been made the object of inquiry con
cerning alleged atrocities attributed to
Catholic priests during this war, has
been shown to lie false and altogether
imaginary, without any exception. Our
emperor telegraphed to the president
of the United Strites of America that
even women and priests had commit
ted atrocities during litis guerrilla war
fare on wounded soldiers, doctors and
nurses'1 attached to the tield ;iml>u
lances. How this telegram can lie rec
onciled with the fact stated above we
shall not be able to learn outi! after

ENEMIES TO SUCCESS.
Learn to Avoid Timidity, Shyness or
Self Consciousness.
Timidity, shyness and self conscious
ness belong to the same family. We
usually find all where we find any one,
and they are all enemies of peace of
mind, happiness and achievement. No
one has ever done a great thing while
his mind was centered upon himself.
We must lose ourselves before we can
tind ourselves. Self analysis Is valu
able only to learn our strength; It is
fatal if it makes us dwell upon out
weaknesses.
Timid, shy people are morbidly self
conscious. They think too much about
themselves. Their thoughts are turned
inward; they are always analyzing, dis
secting themselves, wondering how
they appear and what people think of
them. If these people could only for
get themselves and think of others they
would be surprised to see what free
dom, ease and grace they would gain,
what success in life they would achieve.
Thousands of young people are held
back from undertaking what they long
to do and are kept from trying to make
real their great life dreams because
they are afraid to Jostle with the world.
They shrink from exposing their sore
spots and sensitive points, which smart
from the lightest touch. Their super
seusitiveness makes cowards of them.
—O. S. Marden.
No Reasonable Reason.
"The lust two words of a recent
verse of mine were omitted entirely,"

both the rhyme and sense of the com

"I do not see why the printer should
have gone to that trouble," returned
J. Fuller Gloom. "Without being tam
pered your verses would seem to be
sulllclently grotesque and senseless to
satisfy the most morbid taste."
