Newspaper Page TextTHc7 Henry County Weekly FRANK RKACAK, Kxlitor Mwt.**raiat Qa., aa second-c.as;-. j.ui! nuit' r. Rates furnished mi Appli atton. Official Organ of Henry County. M tDonough, Ga. ( April 9, 1915 “Kulter” Controls Conduct. We judge a man’s ideal by bis life. His practices proclaim his purpose. The law puts it in this way. “A man is presumed to in tend the necessary consequences of his acts.” What is true of the man is true of the nation. A nation intends all that to which its acts do lead. There is no escape from this con clusion. , Then, in the light of this truth, what judgement must the present and history pronounce upon Ger many and its “Kultur?” From the very beginning of the present war, charges were made that Germany’s soldiers were practicing the most barbarous cruelties upon their enemies, whether soldiers or non-combat ants. The world was loathe to believe the stories and thought that they were creations of an overwrought state of mind which the war had produced among some of the al lies' literary men. Later official investigations of such charges were made by com missions composed of the most eminent and trustworthy individ uals. They reported the facts to be even worse than had been at first rumored. Newspapers and readers in our country were inclined to discount even these reports. But Germany’s acts recently committed in the open leave no room to doubt that the most hor rible tales of their atrocities are true. The rules of warfare have here tofore confined the attacks by a belligerent to armed forts and armed forces. Citizens of the warring nations who were engag ed in peaceful pursuits in unforti fied towns were not subject to at tack. Germany has had no regard for such rules. In Belgium her rifles have not even respected women and children but have slaughtered them like so many cattte. Then in every country of the enemy the innocent and unarmed men and women and children have been murdered by the bombs dropped from the air. Now, Germany grows desperate and throws off even her disguise of decency. Her sea vessels lay in wait for unarmed ships of the enemy and oven of neutrals. Finding a ves sel carrying passengers, they sink it without giving time for passengers, some of them neutrals, to escape with their lives. They slay the innocent with as much glee as if they were so many snakes. Such piracy sets civilization back to the period of the jungle dwellers and deserves the execra tion of humanity and the terrible revenge of the Almighty himself. And yet Germany says we are prejudiced. Were we to appland her practices, it would indeed re flect upon our civilization. Inspect the Battle Fields. Not by going to them, but by bringing them to you.
