GERMAN RrTHI.ESSXESS AN IN
CL'LCATED BARBARISM
A etvernmeu' assorting its right
to conquer tie world deuyto;' ?nv
du'y except that of increasing its
o»!i ;ower. and a people drilled in
this thoery. produce a nation whcse
acts horrify humanity. Yet thvis"
acta are out the logical result of
a ruth'.essuess in war deliberately
pl.-'aned. it was at first said by Am
ericans: "Yes, there ar.- occasion
al Get aid n atrocities, uo d-mbt, but
■so there are ia every war." Wt
now know tha* cruelty and/ bar
barism ar*' a definite part of the
German methvxi of making war.
First the teachers and professors:
"Where German soldiers had to
seize ;he incendiary torch, or even
to proceed to the slaughter of citi
zens .It was oaly i:i pursuance or
the rights of war." " One singly
highly cultured German warrior rep
resents a higher intellectual and
moral life-value than hundreds of
the raw children of nature whom
.England and France. Russia and
Italy, opp->se to them." "Even if
there were no question of vengeance
... the crime opposing the devel
opment of Germany is so great that
tne most trenchant measures ar«
■scarcely a sufficient; punishment for
it." "The more pitiitsw is the vae
victis. the greater is the security
of the ensuing peace. In the
(lays of old, conquered peoples were
completeh ainiihilated. Today that
is physically impracticable, but one
can Imagine conditions which should
approach very closely to total d»»
tructiou."
-Vest the army officers: "By
steapms- himself ia military history'
an officer will be able to guard him
self against excessive humanitarian
actions; it will teach him that cer
tain severities are in disi>e usable to
war, nay, mere, that the only true
humanity very often lies in a ruth
less applk-aticn of them." "The
wa.rlor has need of passiou. It
must not ... be regarded as a
necessary evil: nor condemned as a
regrettable consequence of physical I
contact; nor must we seek to res
train it and curb it as a savage and
Vutil force.'*
Last the clergy: one incident,
a. d ore quotation from an addTess
on the Sermon oi> the .Mount is
enough for Americans. "Whoever
can ro' prevail upon himself to ap- j
preys i'rju. tJjs bcttom of his heart
the sinking of tne L,usuam«, . « •
a-d give liimself up to honest de-|
lighf a' this victorious exploit of
German defensive power—Mm w
jud^e to bo no true German."
German teaching has bonio fruit
auU ine world is aghast. Yet we
have become so accustomed to
"German atiocities" that some of
our horror at them has waned. Iti
is .viser to remember. Volumes are
needed to list, merely, the proved
c- ses of barbarity—for Germany by;
refusing investigation through a
ueutral jury proposed' by Cardinal
.Mercier, has confessed guilt. No,
rather, she acknowledges the acts
charged against her and glorifies
thtir.
Hu let us uot forget that German,
sotaitrs, in 1 y 14 with no restraint,
raped the women of Belgium and
France in. the first advance; that
they placed screens of chilran be
fore tuem; that they executed, as
>varaing against a feared Belgian,
lis!.*, fifty inuooeat Catholic priesta
and tnousands of innocent citizens;
that tney save themselves up "in a
hundred different places, to piun
deria? incendiarism, imprisonment
massacre, and sacrileges'^! Ordinal
Alercier); that in France th«y
have deliberately made a desert of
teriitory in retreat, with aai object,
not ot this war, but of destroying
productivity for at least a genera
tion to come; that Germany; openly
applauded Turkey upon the
mass>^re of nearly one-halS thepop
u'a'S ii of Armenia; that Germany,
by -he cruel staravtion and depor
tation of conquered popualtion^ is
attempting to "Germanize" the
P-u'Is of Poland and Russia; that
she torpedoes hospital shipe with
"defenseless beings, wounded or
mutilated in war .and women who
are devoting themselves to the work
of relief and charity" (protest of
th>» International Red Cro6s Oom
niUte at Geneva); that no other
government, in the world's history,
ever ordered or approved a Lusi
tania.
T!iis war is lost, and a greater
w.II follow it. unless it is fought
to Hie point where Germany knows
for a!' time that such acts are, ii>
the red, fatal to the government
that commits them.

days I could hardly do my work for
