Opis

During the beginning of the First World War in 1914, after Germany declared war on France, some friends who managed to escape from Belgium brought with them the stories of German frightfulness that filled all hearers with horror. Being unwilling to accept their testimony without further evidence, Congregationalist minister, writer, and philosopher Newell Dwight Hillis began his own research, collecting letters, magazine articles, testimonies of eye-witnesses, books, photographs, reports of the various commissions. This work contains a simple record of the raw facts. Although many carefully studied atrocities could not be presented in this report because the witnesses reasonably feared that their families, just behind the German lines, might be made to suffer were their testimony to become known. The first two chapters represent the substance of addresses given in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, Chicago, Indianapolis, and some thirty other cities connected with the Second Liberty Loan. The third, to an extent, presents views of addresses in Cincinnati, Louisville, New Orleans, Houston, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City, Butte, Denver, and thirty other cities during the First Liberty Loan.
