"CORPSE FACTORIES EXPLAINED"

THE GERMAN WORSHIP OF THE WOLF. Hurdencd though they are io shock upon shock of Hud barbarity, many people scarcely credited—until proof came from a German newspaper—the terrible German ** corpse factory." " The Germans,* they reflected, '" are a. European race. They belong to our common Aryan stock. They are decadent, brutalised; they have committed atrocities tint have only been previously perpetrated by savage races in the dark age of worldhistory. But hero is horror that savages have never done: horror wreaked not upon the. Huns' enemies, but upon their own people; horror that surpasses cannibalism in its revolting details'; horror that has sickened the souls of all humanity." The " corpse factory," they thought, must suiely be soiue\ super-nightmare of wars crop, of rumors. It was impossible.. And so it would be impossible were tJie Germans a European people, or, indeed, a people of any of the ancient 'civilised races of the world. But they arc none of these. They are not European, not Aryan. Thcy are a race alone and apart: interlopers and squatters in Europe.. They are the "Wolf Tribe." \ Lieutenant-colonel L. A. Waddell, G. 8., traveller, explorer,'archteologist, ethnologist, philologist, and author of many learned books, has devoted a laxge part of his busy lifetime—and his entire time during the last 10 years—to a-research into the origin of our Aryan ancestors and their civilisation. He has made discoveries which revolutionise the established views held by historians and anthropologists (views, be it remarked, mainly self-interestedly foisted upon us by German professors), and is shortly publishing those discoveries in an important volume. Only his book can set forth the full argument of Colonel Waddcll's laborious researches, but in the meantime he lias given to a ' Daily Mail * interviewer these interesting proofs of the non-European, non-Aryan ancestry of the German "'Wolf Tribe," explanations of the existence of a wild beast

race in Europ-; that can conduct' " corpse factories."' Colouel Waddells facts -will be refreshing to British people who have always resented , the insolent, nauseous claim of the most uai- ; couth people in Europe to " cousinship " with us. The Teutons, says Colonel Waddell, are not racially Ayrans at all. Huxley wrote: " The characteristic modes of speech termed 'Aryan* were developed among the, blonde long-heads iilone.'" This definition totally exctudes the Germans and Prussians, who are all round-heads or short-heads. • Gennans Allied to the Turks. —Their head formation inexorably affiliates the Germans to the Alpine Race, which is essentially Turanian, from Central Asia, and of the same stock as tbe Huns and Turks. The Germans are relatively late-comers to Europe, who have adopted the Aryan language from their civilised Aryan neighbors, aud together with it a veneer of their civilisation. Their uncouth _ form of spelling and their long, agglutinating compound words suggest that alien origin." The -'Wolf Tribe.'•—Colonel Waddell has found new and positive evidence connecting these Teutonic Turanians with the prehistoric "Wolf Tribe.'" . Vestiges of the worship of the wolf are widely found in ijie earliest historic and prehistoric remains and customs in Ancient Egypt, Asia, aud Europe. The only modern nation which has clung to the priinitrte tribal badges of the cult of this ravenous beast are the Germans. Colouel Waddell has now discovered that the name "Ger-man," or "Alle-inan." means " Wolf-man." " Ger,'" or " Geri," or " Garm " was tho chief wolf which attended upon ,Wodan, or Odin, the " All-Father"" of the German's, and it associates the Germans with ihe Turanian Sarniatians, who disposed of their dead by throwing the corpses to dogs. ,• Attila'the Hun was of the "Wolf Tribe." Tacitus said that the name " Ger-man " was invented by the Germans "to inspire terror" ("frightfulness"). The Hymn of Hate lias an old foundation, for even the very name of Wodau is derived from a word mcauiug '"hate." "Hun," again, is-derived from Hunda ("hound"), the modem name for a wolf in Indo-Persda. "Fritz" Means "of the Wolf Tribe."— "Fritz," that popular Hun name, has, says Colonel Waddell, an almost uncanny appropriateness. It- also meaus "wolf," and, in--deed, the word " frightfulness" conies from the saxno root. "' Wolf," pure aud simple, is, moreover, one of the commonest German

I surnames. It is impossible within ;i newspaper column to outer, upon Colonel Waddell's cogent derivations of these damning- stigmata upon Him heredity. He proves "that even " Vallialla," the Heaven of the Teutons, was ohly •*' " Wolf's Heaven," exclusively reserved for those who died shedding blood and sword in hand. All peaceful, and 'therefore -evil, Germans went to eternal torture in "The Abode of Anguish" in the realm of the she-wolf Hela (Hell). The famous banquet of German heroes in Valhalla was evidently human corpses, poiuting to cannibalism of the herons while on earth. A dying medieval Teutonic King thus sings of the feast: We are cut to pieces with swords, but this fills ma with joy 1 When I think of the feast that is preparing for me in Odin's palace. Quickly seated there, we shall drink out of the skulls of our enemies. The food of this " Heaven" is suggestively provided bv the two foraging carrion wolves of Odin: Geri and Freki feedeth the war-faring ' Famed Father of Hosts. I Even the "All Faxber" himself, who I " has lived by the sword, is cventuajly fated to I perish by the fangs of the all-devouring ■ wolf. A grim mythology for ordinary races,

but, like the "Gott" of tho German of today, it was made for the cruel German '* spirituality "! German Eagle a Carrion Raven.—And, anally, even the German eagle is not an eagle. He is a carrion, corpse-feeding raven or vulture. The " Lord God Wodan" was accompanied by two ravens, which, together with his two wolves, "follow the fight, and pounce upon the fallen!" There is no mention whatever of eagles. They are an invention of modern German arrogance. The doiftilc-headed " German Eagle *•' is merely the conjoined pair of corpse-feeding ravens of Odin, and" an examination of this hideous bird, as pictured by the Germans themselves, shows that it ,is not a falcon or eagle, but a bedraggled pan- of foul carrion ravens. Iu is significant, says Colonel Wadde.ll. that such a wide array of wolfish titles and badges should have been so zealously treasured by the Germans through the ages for their tribes and ethics. —London ' Daily .
