FIRST MAD£ USE OF IN 1870 At That Time It Was Condemned by the Civilized World, but the Q wa man Military Leadere Hava Never Abandoned It. Ample proof that the march of tbe Oerman armies through Relginen uas marked by massacres and enp elties almost beyond belief is <?»**• in a document made public by tha committee on public in for’nation, from which the following is taken: The massacres In Belgium and northern France were h part »f tbe German system of frightfulm-sa. An other feature of this system was tbe use of civilians as hostages and foe screens. In discussing the use of hostages the German War Book (Krlegsbrauch Im Landkriege) says: ‘‘By hostages are understood those persons who, as security or ball for the fulfillment of treaties, promises, or other claims, are taken or detained by the opposing state or Its army. Their provision has been less uaunl In re cent wars, as a result of which some professors of the law of nations have wrongly decided that the taking of hostages has dlaappean-d from the practice of civilized nations. . , . “A new application of ‘hostage right' was practiced by the German staff In the war of 1870, when It compelled leading citizens from French towns and villages to accompany trains and locomotives in order to protect the rnllway communications which wore threatened by the people. Since the lives of peaceable Inhabitants were, without any fault on their part, there by exposed to grave danger, every writer outside Germany has stigma tized this measure as contrary to the law of nntlons and ns unjustified to wards the Inhabitants of the country." Clunq to Frightfulness. Although their deeds In the Frnneo- Prusstan war hud been universally condemned, as they themselves admit ted, the leaders did not Intend to abandon such a useful measure of frightfulness. In L'Tnterprete Mill- tnlre the forms were provided for such acts in the next war. Both In Belgium and In France the Germans have con stantly used hostages. The evidence Is contained In the proclamations of the governing authorities and also In the diaries of the German soldiers A few examples from these will Illus trate the system which was employed. A specimen of the arbitrariness and cruelty Is furnished by the proclama tion of Major Dleckmnnn. from which the following sections are presented • ‘‘After 9 n. m. on the 7th Septem ber. I will permit the houses In Reyn«- Heusny. Grivegnee, arid Bols-de Brenx to be Inhabited by the persona who lived In them formerly, ns long aa these persons are not forbidden to fre quent those localities by official pro hibition.

' St. Joseph, pntrou of Belglau. pray for us. “St. Hardelln. patron of the parish, pray for us. “Salnte llnrbe. patroness of klmlly death, pray for us." After reading such ghastly accounts, many of them written by German eye witnesses. and knowing that similar tales wav* published widely in the German newspapers. It Is difficult to read with patience such word» as these: "The German army (In which I of course Include the nnvy) 1» toduy the greatest institute for moral education In the world.” “Tlie German soldiers alone are thoroughly disciplined, and have never [ so much ns hurt n hair of u »Ingle In nocent human being"- Houston Stew- art Chamberlain.

Beneath this proclamation there were posted the names of 81 hostages and a statement that others had also been seized as hostages. The Ilves of all the»«- men depended In reality ' upon tin- Interpretation which the Ger man military authorities might give to the elastic phrase, “the l«-ast disorder." In the proclamation. Hugh Gibson, In a Journal from out Legation In Belgium, page 184. explains what was likely to happen: “Another thing Is. that on entering a town, they hold the burgomaster, the proettrenr du rol, and other authorities ns hostages to Insure r«»o<l behavior by th«- population.
