“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.
