41 and 42. _Baron von Waldersee_ and _Major Ledebur_, who broke open the writing-desks and jewel-cases of the château of Beaumont. 43. _Major von Bülow_, who ordered the massacres and destruction of Aerschot. 44. _Major Dreckmann._ In a proclamation under date 6th September (Guvegnee, Belgium): “The life of hostages depends on whether the inhabitants remain peaceful under all circumstances”; and that, if the first hostages are not replaced in forty-eight hours by others, _the hostage runs the risk of death_, and whoever does not obey the command “Lift your arms!” is punishable with the penalty of death. 45. _Commandant Chrenzer_, of the 26th Austro-Hungarian regiment, operating against the Serbians, who himself massacred prisoners and peasants who were brought to him. 46. _Commandant Reimond_, of the 13th Austro-Hungarian corps, operating against the Serbians, who authorised the massacre of twenty-four peasants, the most part of them old folk of both sexes. 47 and 48. The commandants of the 11th and 4th detachments operating against the Serbians, who ordered their soldiers to annihilate everything Serbian. 49 and 50. _Commandant Zerfert_, of the 25th regiment, and _Captain Zfail_, of the 37th Austrian regiment, who caused houses in Serbia to be fired. 51 and 52. _Captain Kozda_, of the 79th regiment, and _Captain Vouitch_, of the 21st Austrian regiment, who treated every Serbian soldier on the third conscript list as a franc-tireur and had him shot. 53. _Captain Zirgow_, who authorised the pillage of Albert in France. 54. The German officer, _Walter Bloem_, who was entrusted with the task of making an inquiry in Belgium (see the _Cologne Gazette_ of the 10th February, 1915), and who confessed without any sense of shame that all that had happened was part of a system, the principle of which was that “the whole community to which a culprit belonged must pay the penalty, and that the innocent must suffer in their stead, not because a crime has been committed, but in order that a crime may not be committed again.” 55. _Lieutenant Bertich_, 29th Austro-Hungarian regiment operating against the Serbs, who killed at Lasnitza seven innocent peasants. 56. _Lieutenant Eberlein_, who, in the _Münchener Neueste Nachrichten_ told the story of the monstrous treachery to which he resorted to get into Saint Dié—viz. using civilians as a screen for his troops. The above are German generals and officers whose names are known to us. There are many others. But the impossibility of naming them all does not prevent us from holding up to the execration of the civilised world, by printing their names here, those whom the reports supplied to us have mentioned.
