State Department Archives at
Washington Record the
Story of Sissonne.
COMMUNE UNABLE TO PAY
Von Buelow, on That Account, Threat
ened to Destroy Home of Prince
of Monaco, Who Appealed to
Preaident Wilson.
The universally condemned Ger
man system of extorting money from
captured communities is shown by
the following documents published
by the committee on public informa
tion:
A striking Illustration of the fierce
brutality of German methods is con
tained In the archives of the state de
partment, because the prince of Mon
aco appealed to President Wilson
against the injustice of a fine Imposed
upon a small ami Impoverished vil
lage. The following documents from
the state department archives tell the
story. They need no comments.
"Paris, Oct. 27. 1914. '
"Secrelury of State, Washington.
"Prince of Monaco called tills morn
ing and asked that the following case I
be submitted to the president:
"Prince states that General von
Buelow for weeks lias been Inhabit'.jfc
prince's ancestral chateau near
Reims, historical monument, contain
ing works of art and family heir
looms; that Von Ruelow has Imposed
fine of 500,000 francs on village of
Slssonne some miles distant from chat
eau, because of broken glass found on
road near village. Sissonue being un
able alone to pay has raised with a
number of other neighboring villages
125,00(1 francs, hut Von Buelow has
sent two messengers from Slssonne to
prince that unless latter pays fine for
Slssonne the chateau and adjoining vil
lage. as well as Slssonne, will be de
stroyed on November 1st. Prince
has answered refusing to pay sum now
but willing to give his word to Ger
man emperor that amount would be
paid after removal of danger of fresh
war Incidents. Prince now fearful
lest returning messengers, as well as
male employees on his estate, be shot
because of refusal to pay.
"I have arranged meeting this after
noon between Spanish ambassador and
prince, to whom 1 have suggested that
matter be presented to German gov
ernment through Spanish ambassador
at Berlin Inasmuch as prince's threat
ened property Is In France.
"IIERKICK."
Von Buelow's Threat.
"To the Mayor of the Commune of
Slssonne.
"It has been conclusively proven
that the road between Slssonne and the
railway station of Moutuigu was, ou
September 18th. strewn with broken
glass along a distance of one kilome
ter and at Intervals of 50 meters, for
the purpose, no doubt, of Impeding
automobile traffic.
"I hold the commune of Slssonne
responsible for th'n act of h^tlllty
on the part of Its inhabitants, and 1
punish the said community by levying
upon it a contribution of 500,000
francs (five hundred thousand
francs).
"This sum must be ettlrely paid
into the treasury of the Etape by Oc
tober 15th.
"The Inspection of the Etape now
at Montcornet has been directed to
enforce execution of this order.
"The General Commander In Chief of
the Army.
"VOX BUELOW."
Protest of Prince of Monaco.
Monaco, Oct. 22nd, 1914.
"Sire:
"I forward to your majesty several
documents relating to a very grave
and urgent matter.
"The General von Buelow has caused
to be occupied since one idnnth and
a half my residence of Marchnls. sit
uated at five kilometers from the vil
lage of Slssonne. The general has lev
led upon the 1,500 Inhabitants of this
poor ruined village a war contribution
of 500,000 francs, of which they are
unable to pay more than one-quar
ter. Moreover, he h:i< sent to me two
emissaries bearing a document in
which he threatens to destroy my
property and the village of Marehais,
over and above that of Slssonne. In the
event of my not disbursing myself the
sunj In question before the end of the
month of October.
"That is how a Prussian generul
treats a relgnlug prince who for" 45
years has been a friend to Germany,
and who in all the countries of the
world Is surrounded with respect and
gratitude for his work.
"In reply to the summons of the
General von Buelow I have given my
word of honor to complete the above
contribution In order to avert a hor
rible action accomplished In cold
blood, but adding that as a sovereign
prince I submit this matter to the
judgment of the emperor by declar
ing that the said sum shall be paid
'when the Chateau de Marehais will
be free from the danger of intentional
"destruction.
"I am. with great respect, your me
jesty's devoted servant and cousin,
"ALBEKT, Prince of Monaco.**
Letter Addresed to Von Buelow.
"Monaco, Oct. 22, 1914.
. "To avert from the commune of
SlSsonne and that of Marchtas the rig
orous treatment with which yoa hare
threatened them, I give my word of
honor to remit to his majesty the
Emperor William, should the war
come to an end without Intentional
damage being caused to my residence
or to these two communes, the neces
sary sum to complete the amount of
500,000 francs Imposed by you upon
Slssonne.
"As a sovereign prince, I wish to
deal In this matter with the sovereign
Who, during 15 years, called me his
friend and has decorated me with the
Order of the Knight of the Black
Eagle.
"My conscience and my dignity
place me above fear, as also my per
sonal will shtoll elevate rtie above re
gret ; but should you destroy the
Chateau de Cardials, which Is one of
the centers df universal science and
charity, should you reserve to this
archaeological and historical gem the
treatment you have given to the Ca
thedral of Reims—when no reprehen
sible action has been committed there
—the whole world will Judge be

"I tender to your excellency the ex

Until the present War the whole civ
ilized world has boasted of Its advance
In humaulty. This advance has been
marked In many fields, and In none
had greater progress been made than
In the protection to be given to the
private citizen In an Invaded country.
As far back as 1863, In the "Instruc
tions for the Government of Armies
of the United States In the Field,"
the United States declared:
"23. Private citizens are no longer
murdered, enslaved, or carried off to
distant parts, and the Inoffensive In
dividual Is as little disturbed in his
private relations as the commander
of the hostile troops can afford to
grant In the overruling demands of a
vigorous war.
"24. The almost universal rule In
remote times was, and continues to be
with barbarous armies, that the pri
vate individual of the hostile country
Is destined to snflfpr every privation
of liberty and protection, and every
disruption of family ties. Protection
was, and still Is with uncivilized peo
ple, the exception."
Revenion to Barharicm.
These declarations were made in the
midst of our Civil war—one of the
world's fiercest conflicts. A half-cen
tury later, after more than 60 years
of progress, the German government
has gone back to the methods used
by "barbarous armies" and "unciv
ilized people." It has deliberately
adopted the policy of deporting men
and women, boys and girls, and of
forelug them to work for their cap
tors ; It has even compelled them to
make arms and munitions for use
against their allies and their own flesh
and blood."
No other act of the German govern
ment has aroused such horror and de
testation throughout the civilized
world. Thousands of helpless men |
and women, boys aud girls, have been
enslaved. Families have been broken
up. Girls have been carried off to
work—or worse—In a strange land,
and their relatives have not known
where they have been taken, or what |
their fate has been.
Tills system of forced labor and de
portation embraced the whole of Bel
gium, Poland and the occupied lands
of France.
Whltlock'c Story of Horror*.
In less moving phrases, but In dead
ly corroboration, the continuation of
the report of Minister Whltlock says:
"The rnge, the terror, and despair
excited by this measure all over Bel
glum were beyond anything we had
witnessed since the day the Germans
poured Into Brussels. The delegates j
of the commission for relief In Bel
glum, returning to Brussels, told the

Printing of Quality
of cruelty anil sofPow "atrefinrng the
seizures. And dally, hourly almost,
since that time tippallint; stories have
been related by Belgians coming to
the legation. It is Impossible for us
to verify them, first because it Is nec
essary for us to exercise all possible
tact In dealing with the subject at
all, and secondly because there is no
means of communication between the
Occupatlons-Geblet and the Etappen
Uebiet. Transportation everywhere
in Belgium Is difficult, the vicinal
railways scarcely operating any more
because of the lack of oil, while all
the horses have been taken. The peo
ple who are forced to go from one
village to another must do so on foot
or In vans drawn by the few miser
able horses that are left. The wagons
of the breweries, the one institution
that the Hermans have scrupulously
respected, are hauled by oxen.
One of Foulest Deeds in History.
"The well-known tendency of sensa
tional reports to exaggerate them
jelves, especially In time of war, and
In a situation like that existing here,
with no newspapers to serve as a daily
clearing house for all the rumors thut
are as avidly believed as they are
eagerly repeated, should of course be
considered j»but eveu if a modicum of
all that Is told Is true there still re
mains enough to stamp Ills deeds as I
one of the foulest that history records.
"I am constantly in receipt of re
ports from all over Belgium that tend !
to bear out the stories one constantly I
hears of brutality and cruelty. A num
ber of men sent buck to Huns are
said to be in a dying condition, many
of them tubercular. At Ma lines and
at Antwerp returned tuen have died,
their friends asserting that they have
been victims of neglect and cruelty,
of cold, of exposure, of hunger."

Music of Our Anthem.
Does any one know wfto composed
the music of 'The Star Spangled Ban
ner?" The hymn "Anacreon In Heav
en," composed by John Smith, an Eng
lishman, about 1770, is the original mu
sic of our national anthem, according
to an official of the United States
marine corps. Auacreoa was an an
cient Greek poet, a sycophant and a
great .drunkard. The young Maryland
lawyer, Francis Scott Key, set the
words of his masterpiece to the tune
of Smith's hymnal inspiration.
