GHASTLY HISTORY OF GERMANY'S GRIMES.
MURDERING OF WOUNDED SOLDIERS PROVED. "NO LIVING ENEMY MUST BE LEFT BEHIND."
(Received September 28, 11.20 p.m.)
London, September 28. The French Foreign Minister has published in English a volume detailing the German crimes committed during the war.
The book contains about 100 documents, which afford convincing evidence that the Germans murdered wounded prisoners with savage brutality, many victims' heads being reduced to pulp. The volume reproduces General Stenger's orders to massacre prisoners, which included: "No living enemy must be left behind us." Ghastly stories of outrages on and the massacre of civilians in Belgium are related.
