The purpose of this book is to remind English-speaking people all

over the Empire and our Allies in America of the wanton destruction and

unspeakable terror which have overwhelmed the regions of France and

Belgium occupied by the Boche, and also to quicken a true perception of

the reparation and punishment due when peace is made with the

enemy. In many minds time has dimmed the horrors of August and

September 1914. When war weariness is apt to sap resolution and

the possibility of a patched up peace is furtively canvassed, the great

world of the English-speaking race should call to remembrance the

inhuman and barely credible acts of brutality and bestiality committed

in cold blood by the German race. . No apology is made for this

book. It is a translation of a document which has created a

profound impression in France. It is an authoritative record of

German crimes committed on the people of Belgium and Northern France,

attested by the Mayors of twenty-six French towns. Some time ago

permission was obtained from the French Committee of Publication (the

Prefect of Meurthe-and-Moselle, and the Mayors of Nancy and Luneville)

to produce an English version on condition that the translation be an

"exact and literal translation." This has been completed and the

Editor, the Rev. J. Esslemont Adams, an Assistant Principal Chaplain

with the British Expeditionary Force in France, is indebted to the

friends who have assisted in producing the work. . INTRODUCTION . This

is a book of horrors, but a book of plain truths! Where have we

discovered our facts? They are taken from three sources: First,

Four reports issued by the French Commission of Enquiry[1]; and

"Germany's Violation of the Laws of Warfare," published by the French

Ministry of Foreign Affairs; Second, Two volumes containing

twenty-two reports of the Belgian Commission[2], and the Reply to the

German White Book of the 15th May, 1915; Third, Notebooks found

upon a large number of German soldiers, non-commissioned officers, and

officers, who have been wounded or taken prisoners, and translated

under the direction of the French Government. These valuable

records, in which the bandits and their leaders have imprudently given

themselves away, are real "pieces a conviction." . These

reports in their entirety form an overwhelming indictment. We

wish that everyone could study them in full. But the books are

large, running to thousands of pages, and will not find their way to

the general public. . Buy It at Lowest Price on Amazon
