[30] The pamphlet entitled «_Appel aux nations civilisées_» which the German government spread abroad, says: «_Il n'est pas vrai que nous fassions la guerre au mépris du droit des gens. Nos soldats ne commettent ni actes d'indiscipline ni cruautés._» This is the text of our translation. The German text published under the title «_An die Kulturwelt_» says: «_Es ist nicht wahr dass unsre Kriegsführung die Gesetze des Völkerrechts missachtet. Sie kennt keine zuchtlose Grausamkeit_». There is, as will be seen, a nuance between these two versions, both equally official. The German version seems to admit as legitimate «_die zuchtmässige Grausamkeit_» "cruelty exercised on service". +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Transcriber's Notes | | | | The following inconsistencies were kept: | | | | Langewiller -- Langeviller | | Regt. -- Reg^t | | | | Mistakes in German cites were not corrected unless there | | was a plate available showing the German text, or it looked | | like wrong reading of handwritten text. | | | | The following changes have been made: | | | | p. 5 ";" inserted. | | p. 6 "prisonners" changed to "prisoners". | | p. 6 "Ecole" changed to "École". | | p. 6 "document" changed to "documents". | | p. 8 "telephoningto" changed to "telephoning to". | | p. 8 "Stabe" changed to "Stäben" (footnote). | | p. 8 "eingestürtz" changed to "eingestürzt" (footnote). | | p. 9 "Art.
