 CRUDI3 AND SPRINGINESS AMBULANCES ON THE RUSSIAN FRONT 



A conveyance of any kind was a luxury for the Russian wounded after the fall of 

 Warsaw. Compared with 64,000 ambulances on the 400-mile front in France, Russia has 

 only 6,000 ambulances to serve the wounded on a front of 1,000 miles. 



country for that. They said, 'You have 

 let the cat out of the bag.' I said, 'No, I 

 have not, because nobody will believe it.' 

 What did you think of it?" 



I said, "General, I did not believe a 

 word of it when I read it, but I now feel 

 that you did not tell the whole truth" ; 

 and the old general looked actually 

 pleased. 



What is true in Poland is true in Serbia 

 and in Roumania. In Serbia approxi- 

 mately three-quarters of a million people 

 have died miserably. A German captain 

 who had been there three months, in that 

 campaign through Serbia, told me that he 

 saw the Bulgarian soldiers killing inno- 

 cent men and women and children along 

 the road with their bayonets ; that it got 

 too much even for him, and he could not 

 stand it and came back. He said they 

 had typhus in every city he visited in 

 Poland. 



In Roumania practically six hundred 

 thousand people have been murdered in 

 cold blood by the Turks. All the armed 



forces in that country are officered by 

 Germans, so they are in a sense guilty of 

 that, too ; they are parties to it. 



A MAD DOG AMONG NATIONS 



There is a wild dog^, a mad dosf, loose. 

 That system has become so ingrown that 

 it threatens to involve the German people 

 themselves. I tell you, ladies and gentle- 

 men, it is worth while, if it costs every- 

 thing in the world, to stop that system ! 



Ever since the signing of the Declara- 

 tion of Independence we have welcomed 

 people who have come to these shores to 

 get away from religious and political per- 

 secution. They have come here to enjoy 

 life and liberty and the pursuit of happi- 

 ness. I hope and we all hope that these 

 shores always will welcome those people. 



The people that came here, particularly 

 the Germans that came in 1848 and the 

 two or three years following, and in 1872 

 and thereafter, knew why they came, and 

 now we know why they came. For two 

 vears we have been suspicious of the
