GERMAN METHODS EXPOSED.

Professor J. H. Morgan's translation of the German General Stall' book of instructions to officers, is convincing evidence of German brutality and ruthlessness. It is made plain that German officers are officially urged (1) to compel peaceful inhabitants to give information as to the strength and disposition of their country's forces; (2) to expose peaceful inhabitants to the lire of their own troops; (.'5) to compel inhabitants to build lieldworka against their own troops; ff) to put prisoners of war to death ; (■">) to hire an assassin, corrupt a citizen, or incite an incendiary ; (6) to refuse permission to women and children to leave a place before bombardment begins; (7) to give no quarter to the civil population of a small and defenceless coinitry which carries arms openly, and uses them honorably to defend their land since the capture of Babylan has there shameful sufferings he writes: "Never since the captivity of Babylin has there been so tragic an expatriation. Yet noble in her sorrow, and exalted in her

anguish, Belgium, like some patient caryatid, still supports the broken architrave of the violated treaty. Her little army is still unconquered, «cr

spirit is never crushed. She "ill arise purified by her sorrow and ennobled by her suffering, and generations yet

unborn shall rise up and call her blessed."
