A British subject saw on September 15, 1914, in the Wetteren Hospital, a girl of 11 from Alost with 17 bayonet thrusts in her back, "practically flayed, and at the point of death." (F. 13.) "Out of the 1300 inhabitants of Noumeny, at least 150 were killed (murdered) by the Germans." (French Police Report, Aug. 24, 1914.) This list could be extended by hundreds of other cases; and a long chapter could be filled with such instances as the above. Geographically they reach all the way from Louvain to the beginning of the great German defeat before Paris. In order to form estimates of what the quiet little country villages of New England might expect if the armed wolves and mad dogs of Germany ever gained a foothold here, let us consider a few figures compiled from official reports and published by the _Illustrated London News_. They relate solely to the murder of unarmed, inoffensive civilians--old men, women, girls, boys and children. In Brabant 897 persons shot or bayoneted. In Luxembourg Province, over 1,000 " " " " At Arlon 119 " " " " Dinant Arrondissement (Fr.) 606 killed, from 3 weeks to 77 years old. Neufchatel 18 shot. Etalle 30 " Hondemont 11 " Tintiguy 157 " Izele 10 " Rossignol 106 " Bertrix 21 " Ethe about 300 shot; "530 in all missing." Latour only 17 men left. Maissin 12 shot, 1 a young girl. Aloy 52 men and women shot. Claireuse 2 men hanged. --and so on, indefinitely. On the most trivial pretexts, or none at all, the Germans slaughtered unresisting non-combatants who were in their power. Out of a lot of 40 German soldier diaries, only 6 express disapproval or disgust, and at least 30 diaries treat murders either exultingly or as being merely a part of the day's work. The slaughtered innocents of Belgium, France, Servia and Poland would, in each of those countries, undoubtedly run far up into thousands if it were possible to count them. Thanks to the diligence of the British and French governments in collecting evidence now while evidence is procurable, there is already enough printed testimony to damn Germany in the eyes of the world for at least two centuries. 2.
