(By Newspaper Enterpr' London, Oct. Germany wants her | colonies back when the war is over. Von Hertling has stated this as one of the terms of pe: Her treatment of her South Africa colonials before the war is the best argument for the answer the Allies will give, Germany accompanied “kultur” with hanging, with rape, with slavery and | floggings and theft. Germany sought, to Germanize—of exterminate—the African races by burning women and children to death, by seizing their food and leaving them to starve. She drove the warriors of the tribes into the jungles to die. She shot down or hanged the natives who tried to live peaceably with her. Natives Enslaved Read the evidence collected by KE. H. Gorgas, administrator of South West Africa, for the British govern- ment. The stories of cruelty and mur- | der are told under oath. They are substantiated by. witnesse: They are published under the title, “Report on the Natives of South West Africa and | Their Treatment by Germany.” After making agreements with the; natives, Germany _ treated these | pledges as “scraps of paper,” seized the best land, robbed them of their cattle and reduced them to a state of slavery, beating and murdering them | at will and mistreating their women | habitually. | Trotha, who played a notorious part | in the Chinese Boxer rebellion, and had completed a wholesale massacre | of Arab men, women and children, was chosen for the extermination of | the Hereros, when they rebelled! against German oppression. - Manuel Timbu, later court inter | preter at Omaruru, in his statement | made a chief of the bushmen during’ Germans did not worry about, rope. | y E under oath of atrocities witnessed | when von Trotha was carrying on his campaign of extermination of the Her- eros, related: ‘0 prisoners were to be taken, but all, regardless of sex or age were to be killed) * * * Some-were Peaceful people who had not gone into the rebellion; others, such as old men and old women, had never left their} homes, but these were all shot. Old Women Murdered. “We came upon two very old Her-! eros women. They had dropped back from the main body of Hereros, owing | to exhaustion. Von Trotha and his} staff Were present. A German soldier | dismounted, walked up to the old women and shot both ws they lay! there. | “A Herero woman came walking up! out of the brush, Von Trotha asked | her several questions but she did not seem inclined to give information. | Von Trotha ordered that she be taken aside and bayoneted. I took the wom-! an awi and a soldier came up with] his bayonet in his hand. He offered | it to me and said T had better stab the woman. I said 1 would never dreag of doing such a thing, and ask- ed why the poor woman could not be allowed to live. The soldier laughed and said, ‘If you won't do it, I will show you what a German can do,’ “He took the woman aside a few paces and drove the bayonet through her body. He then withdrew the bayo- net and brought it all dripping with;| blood and poked it under my nose inj a jeering way, saying, ‘You sec, I have | done it.’ “Her body was not buried, but, like all others they killed, simply allowed to lie and rot and be eaten by wild animals.” jmander and complained.
