Book Description
Excerpt from German "Truth" And European Facts About the War It must not be supposed that we are satisfied of the existence of any francs-theme in Belgium, nor can we accept in its full extent the German View that, on pain of death, no man without a uniform may defend his own house or his own wife and children. We have thought it needless to enter on controvertible points. As to the charges of wanton cruelty towards Germans in Bel gian cities in the first days of war, we shall only say that, as made, they are too vague to be examined, and nothing has been heard of them in Europe so far as we know. If they were true, they would not justify or excuse retaliation in cold blood. All the world knows what has been reported from the smaller places captured and occupied by German soldiery. We hope, for the credit of humanity, that much of it will prove to be false or exaggerated. But, in face of the serious attitude of the Belgian Government, we cannot assume that all German hands are clean.
