We find the same effrontery in respect of the conflagrations started by their troops: Scharr and Dathe, of Trèves, have edited and placed on sale, in Belgium itself, a series of fifty picture postcards, representing localities which the German army has destroyed by fire. We may mention Dinant, Namur, Louvain, Aerschot, Termonde; and in Belgium, Luxemburg, Barranzy, Etalles, Èthe, Izel, Jamoigne, Musson, Eossignol, Tintigny. Let us add that these photographs commonly show German soldiers and officers striking triumphant attitudes amid the ruins. The most instructive card of this kind which we have seen is one representing General Beeger amid the ruins of Dinant. To understand the full significance of this card, one must remember that it was this officer who ordered 1,200 of the houses of Dinant to be burned and 700 of the inhabitants to be massacred. It is surprising that he did not have a few corpses of "francs-tireurs" arranged about him when the photograph was taken--preferably selected from the old men, women, and children at the breast. After the torpedoing of the _Lusitania_ they sold in Belgium a series of cards entitled _Kriegs-Errinerungs-Karte_, edited by Dr. Trenkler & Co., of Leipzig, which pictured the operations of submarines. Card No. 2, of Series XXXIII, represents--very inaccurately, by the way--a German submarine stopping the _Lusitania_. It is as well to recall the fact that in this disaster more than 1,500 non-combatants perished, among them Mme. Antoine Depage, the wife of the well-known Belgian surgeon. Nothing ought to surprise us on the part of those who prove that every means is good provided it is efficacious. Here is what a newspaper, much respected in Germany, the _Hamburger Fremdenblatt_, has to say in its weekly illustrated supplement for the 16th May, 1915:-- "In the situation in which Germany now finds herself, attacked on three sides at once with all the means that cruelty and perfidy can invent, we must not ask ourselves whether a means of defence is permitted or prohibited; but whether it is effectual. All that facilitates the defence must be employed; this is especially true of the submarine war, and consequently of the destruction of the _Lusitania_." _Alfred Heymel on the Battle of Charleroi._ We have already spoken of the articles of Alfred Heymel and Walter Blöm. Here are some extracts from an article by the former:-- THE BATTLE OF CHARLEROI. One regiment of cavalry was detrained near the enemy frontier. For a little while it halted on a manoeuvring ground where the division to which we were to be attached as scouts was to assemble.
