Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian People's War: A Violation of International Law In laying an English translation of the German White-Book on the franctireur war in Belgium before the public it should be pointed out - as may also be seen from the numbering of the annexes - that the English version is not a complete rendering of the German original. Of the annexes, which contain over two hundred and twenty affidavits and reports, only about one-third have been included, so as to save the reader a wearisome repetition of numerous similar incidents and to give him, with less labor to himself, an approximate idea of the kind of actions indulged in by the Belgian civilian population. The German original is open for inspection at the Imperial German Embassy and the Imperial German Consulates in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Iron Bars: Two Years of German Occupation in Belgium The English-speaking public is generally well informed concerning the part played in the war by the Belgian troops. The resistance of our small field army at Liege, before Antwerp, and on the Yser has been praised and is still being praised wherever the tale runs. This is easy enough to understand. The fact that those men should have been able to hold so long in check the forces of the first military Empire in Europe, and that a great number of them, helped by new contingents of recruits and led by their young King, should still be fighting on their native soil, must appeal strongly to the imagination.

Download or read book The Story of the American Red Cross War Work for Belgium Classic Reprint written by John Van Schaick and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the American Red Cross War Work for Belgium Before I left Brussels in April, 1919, I agreed to write the story of the American Red Cross work for Belgium. Other things prevented until March, 1921, when I got at it. The lapse of time has been fortunate, as I am convinced that we arc past the period when "people do not want to hear anything more about the war." There arc some indications of the beginning of a period bound to come when every detail of that stupendous struggle will be read with a deepening interest and a truer perspective. The Commission for Belgium of the American Red Cross was small in comparison with many other Red Cross Commissions. It operated on somewhat different lines. It handled less than five million of the four hundred million dollars raised by the American people through the American Red Cross for war relief. But this Commission was set down in one of the most dramatic and picturesque sections of Europe, where a brave people and a heroic King made a last stand to save their country, and where powerful armies of England and representative divisions of France and the United States fought through to a glorious end. This book tells something of the story of war in Flanders, of life in that part of France which supported Flanders, and of the work of the American Red Cross in helping Belgian hospitals, cheering Belgian soldiers, saving Belgian children, and lifting the load of misery which settled down on both refugees and those who refused to fly.

Download or read book The Destruction of Belgium written by E. Grimwood Mears and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Destruction of Belgium: Germany's Confession and Avoidance In essentials their stories never vary. Every massacre of inhabitants, every organised shooting of "hostages," every wiping out of groups of people or individuals, every shelling, burning and destruction of entire towns and villages, or of single houses, always had its origin in the misdeeds of "Franc tireurs." It must have occurred to most people that members of the German Army in the circumstances of its invasion of Belgium would from time to time be attacked by unrestrained individual civilians. That, however, is not at all the case which the Germans set out to prove. They understand that isolated acts of that character do not warrant the infliction of collective and often vicarious punishment. They affirm that great masses of the civilian population of Belgium engaged in a "people's war" with them, and that this was done generally throughout the country, not merely with the connivance, but with the assistance of the Belgian Government and military authorities, and that only such repressive measures were taken by them as were legitimate, essential, and justified by the occasion. Before proceeding to examine the materials upon which this allegation is based, it is desirable to consider what is the charge made by the Belgians against the German Army, because the White Book is professedly an answer to the Belgian Report, and has no other object than to refute and overcome the "mendacious libels against the German Army," which are said to be contained in that document. The Commissioners appointed by the Belgian Government issued a series of Reports between August 28th, 1914, and January 20th, 1915. These reports, together with a most admirable and spirited preface by M. van Den Heuvel, a Belgian Minister of State; some extracts from the pastoral letter of Cardinal Mercier bearing on the subject of the German conduct in Belgium, and an appendix containing the advice given to civilians by M. Berryer, the Belgian Minister of the Interior, warning them that they must abstain from hostile action towards the Germans, formed the documents to which the German White Book purports to reply. The charges brought by the Belgian Commissioners against German officers and soldiers are pointed, precise, and definite. The reports give names, places, dates, and in many instances the number of people killed and of houses destroyed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium: Neutral and Loyal; The War of 1914 In the universal turmoil of the present moment public opinion is slow in forming; it is fostered mainly by impressions. Perhaps the moment has come to lay facts before it. To clear up every doubt and furnish the material for a considered judgment, it will not be superfluous to meet every accusation, even those whose mere recital violates common sense, and to. Bestow upon them more atten tion than might at first sight be considered appropriate. Belgium has nothing with which to reproach herself; it is due to her that this should be proved by evidence; that no piece of testimony should be omitted and that every mistake and every slander should be exposed firmly but dispassionately. Other nations besides my own have an equal interest in this. To represent Belgium as having failed to keep her promises strikes a blow at the cause of little nations and at the theory of perpetual neutrality. The history of the future will without doubt be that of the free development of nations, jealous of their independence and impatient to escape from the play of intrigue and the hegemony of foreign influence. The nations which have grown great under the shelter of the sanction of law, as well as those who may perhaps dream of attaining that benefit in the future, ought to have full knowledge of the lessons of the experience of Belgium. These lines are dated from Switzerland. In this country, which bears so strong a resemblance to my own, I have found not only the moral support of sympathy but also that moderate and critical attitude of mind which is necessary for one who undertakes a work in which so much restraint is necessarily placed upon the feelings of the writer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and Germany: d104s and Documents We have collected in the present volume a certain number of texts, facsimiles, and other photographs of such a nature as to give an accurate picture of the heroic but deplorable situation of Belgium in the present war. Our country which existed by Right has been crushed by Might. But her honour remains, and with it remains the glory of the struggle in which she has sought to avenge her afflictions. After a superhuman effort on the part of her soldiers under the leadership of their King, and vigorous protests on the part of her Government and moral, civil and religious authorities. And while awaiting the day of reparation which must inevitably come, Belgium avails herself of her right to make clear to the world how loyal has been her spirit and how undeserved her sufferings. Indeed, it is her duty to do so. An enemy, strong beyond all measure, defying treaties and setting at nought the most solemn promises, has fallen upon her, laid her low and devastated her according to a pre conceived plan, and left her in ruins and drenched in blood, in the hope of obtaining by terrorism what he has been unable to obtain by threats and to compensate himself for the price he has had to pay for victory. Because he was checked in his advance successively at Liege, Antwerp and. The Yser, the invading monster thought by calumny to belittle the honour and the loyalty of Belgian Citizens.
