Systematically Done to Death, Wa

From Germany.
The extent of human misery in
Poland caused by the Oerman oc
cupation was as great as that in Uel
gium and France, The entire heart
lessnrss vhich characterized the kai
ser's high officers is well shown in a
statement by Mr. Vernon Kellogg,
prepared for a pamphlet issued by
the committee on public informa
lion, which we copy,
Tho systematic exploitation of hu

In Poland followed thn general plnn
laid down hy the kaiser's orders. In
order to prove the Identity of proced
urn It will bo piioiikIi to present tlm
detailed report prepared specially for n

"Poland Ilusslnn Poland In per

Itn Imperial ends.
"West Poland, which hnn hern Pros
nlnn territory more tlmn n hundred

many; Its people obstinately remnln
Poles. This time they projxiso swifter
measures. In two or three yenrs, by
grace of starvation mid frlghtfulness,
they calculnto I!aHt Poland will lie
thoroughly mndo over Into n Oermnn
province.
"In tho grent Illndenhurg drlvo ont
yenr ngo, tho country was completely
devnstnted hy the retreating Itusslnn
nrmy nml the oncoming Oermnnn. A
million people wero driven from their
homes. Hnlf of them perished hy the
roadside. For mllei nnd miles, when 1
saw tho country, the wny wns littered
with mudsonked torments nnd bones
picked clean by tho crown though the
Inrger bones hnd been gnthered by the
thrifty Oermnns to he ground Into fer

Deliberate Policy of Starvation.
Vannw, which nnd not been de
stroyed onco ii proud city of a million
people wns utterly stricken. Poor
folks by thousands lined the streets,
lennlni: against tho buildings, shivering
In snow and rnln, too weak tn lift a
hand, dying of cold nnd hunger. Though
tho rich gave all they had, and the
poor shared their last crust, they wero
starving there in the streets In droves,
"In tho stricken city, the Oerman gov
ernor of Warsaw Issued a proclama
tion. All able-bodied Poles wero bid'
den tn go to Oermany to work. If any
refused, let no other Polo give him to
ent, not so much as n mouthful, under
penalty of Oermnn military law.
"It wns more than tho mind could
grasp. To tho husband nml father of
broken families, tho high command
gave this decree: I.eavo your famllle
to starve; If you stay, we shall nee that
you do starve this to a high-strung,
sensitive, highly organised people, this
from thn nuthorltles of u nation pro
fessing chillr.atlon and religion to mil
lions of fellow Christians cnptlvo and
starving.
"Oeneral von Krles, tho governor,
was kind enough to explain. Candidly,
they preferred not quite no much star
vation; It might get on the nerves of
thu Oerman noldlers. Itut, starvation
being present, It must work for Oer
man purpose. Taking advantage of
this wretchedness, tho working men of
Poland wero to be removed; the coun
try wns to bo restocked with Oermnns.
It was country Oermany needed rich
alluvial soil better suited to Oerman
expansion than distant possessions. If
tho Poland that was had to perish, so
much tho better for Oermany.
To Make Poland German Province.
"Itemovu tho men, let tho young and
weak die, graft Oerman stock on the
women. See how simple it Is: with a
crafty smile, Oeneral von Krles con
cluded, 'Ily and hy wo must give buck
freedom to Poland. Very good ; It will
reappear us a Oerman province.'
"Slowly, I camo to realize, that this
monstrous, Incredible thing was the
Prusslun system, deliberately chosen
hy tho clrclo around tho all-hlghoRt,
and kneaded Into tho Oerman people
till It became part of their mind,
"Oerman people nro material for

Prussian lives only for this, that tho

"All tho woes In tho long count

"FHUDFItlO C. WALCOTT."
Mr. Vernon Kellogg' statement Is
on follows:
Saw Only Massacre and ftuln.
"It wns my privilege nnd necessity
In connection with the work of the
commission for relief In ISelglum to
spend several months nt tho great
headquarters of the Oerman armies In
tho went, and later to spend more
months nt Ilrussels as the commis
sion's director for ISelglum nnd occu
pied France. It was mi enforced op
portunity to see something of Oermnn
practlco In the treatment of a con
quered people, pnrt of whom (tho
French and thu inhabitants of tho ltd
glnn provinces of Knst nnd West Finn
dors) were under the direct control of
the Oermnn general ntnff nnd the ncr
oral Oermnn n miles of tho west, and
part, the Inhabitants of the seven other
Itelglan provinces, under the qunnl
civil government of Governor Oeneral
von Hissing. I did not enter the occu
pied territories until June, 1016, mid
bo, of course, sow none of tho actual In
vasion and overrunning of tho land. I
saw only tho graves of tho massacred
and thn ruins of their towns. Hut I
sow through the long, hard months
much too much for my pence of mind
of how the Oermnns treated tlie un
fortunates under their control after the
occupation.
Destruction Complete.
"As chief representative for tho com
mission, It was my duty to cover this
wholo territory repeatedly In long mo
tor Journeys In company with the Oer
mnn ofllcer unsigned for my protection
nnd for tho protection of the German
nrmy against nny too much seeing. A
I hnd opportunity niso to cover most of
Helglum in repented trips from Urus
sels Into the various provinces, I nec
essarily had opportunity to compare
thu destruction wrought In the two re
gions. "I could understand why certain
towns and vllhiges along the Mcusc ond
nlong the lines of the French and Kng
llsh retreat were badly shot to pieces.
There hnd been Adding In these towns
and the artillery of first one side nnd
then the other hnd worked their havoc
among the houses of the Inhabitants
Hut there were many towns In which
there had been no fighting and yet all
too ninny of these towns also were In
ruins. It wns not ruin by shells, but
ruin by Are nnd explosions. These
were the fnmous 'punished' towns
Hither n citizen or perhaps two oi
three citizens hnd fired from a window
on the Invnders or wero alleged tc
hnve. Thereupon a block, or two oi
three blocks, or half the town wai
methodically nnd effectively burned oi
blown to pieces. There lire mnny of
these 'punished' towns In occupied
France. And between these towns nnd
nlong the roadways are Innumerabli
Isolated single farmhouses that are alsc
In ruins. It Is not claimed that there
was any sniping from these farm
houses. They were Just destroyed alons
the way and by the way, one mn
say. When the roll of destroyed Til
lages nnd destroyed farmhouses In oc
cupied Frnnco Is inudo known, tin
world will be-shocked again by this evi
dence of Oermnn thoroughness.
Found Neutrality Impossible.
"Hut tho horrible methods of thnt
deiHirtntlon were such thnt we, al
though trying to hold steadfast to a
rigorous neutrality, could not but pro
test. Mr. Gerard, our nmbussador tc
Herlln, happened at the very time ol
this protest to make n visit to the
great headquarters In the west nnd the
matter was brought to the attention
of certain high otllcers nt headquarters
on tho very day of Mr. Genird's visit
nnd in his hearing. So tlmt ho added
his own protest to thnt of Mr. Poland,
our director at tho time, and furthei
deportations were stopped. Hut a ter
rlblo mischief hud already been dona
Husbands und fathers had been tnken
from their families without a wont ot
Rood-hy ; sons nnd daughters on whom
perhaps aged parents relied or sup
port were taken without pity or appar
ent thought of the terrible conse
quences. The great dcportntlons ot
Helglum have shocked tho world. Hut
theso lesser deportations that Is,
lesser In extent, but not less brutal in
their carrying out are hardly known.
Germany Must Be Civilized.
"I went Into Helglum and occupied
Franco u neutral and I maintained
while thero a steadfastly neutral be
havior. Hut I came out no neutral. I
cannot concelvo that nny American en
Joylii; nn experience similar to mine
could hnvo come out a neutral. Iln
would como out, as I came, with tho
Ineradicable conviction that a pcoplo
or a government which can do what tho
Germans did nnd nre doing In Helgtum
und Franco today must not bo nllowed,
If thero Is jiower on earth to prevent It,
to do this a moment longer than can bo
helped. And they must not bo nl
lowed over to do It again,
"I went In also a hater of war, nnd I
came out n moro anient hater of wnr.
Hut, also, I came out with tho Ineradic
able conviction, again, thnt tho only
way In which Oermnny uuder Its pres
ent rule and In Its present stnto of
mind cnu ho kept from doing what It
has dono Is hy force of arms. It can
not bo prevented by appeal, concession
or treaties. Hence, ardently as I hopo
tlmt nil war may cease, I hope that
this war may not censo until Gcrmnny
realizes that the civilized world simply
will not allow such horrors ns those
for which Germany Is responsible In
Helglum and Frnnco to bo any longer
possible.
