Numerous cases are
known where the inhabitants were forced to serve as guides and to
make trenches for the Germans. Numerous depositions reveal that in
their march, and even in their attacks, the Germans put before them
civilians, men and women, in order to prevent our soldiers from
firing. Other testimony proves that German detachments do not
hesitate to fly either a white flag or a Red Cross flag, so as to
approach our troops without being suspected. On the other hand they
fire on our ambulances and ill-treat our ambulance nurses. They
ill-treat and even kill our wounded. Clergymen seem to be
particularly the object of their attacks. Last, but not least, we
have in our possession explosive bullets left behind them by the
enemy at Wechter, and we are also in receipt of medical
certificates testifying that the wounds must have been inflicted by
bullets of the variety mentioned above.
Documents and testimonials in support of these facts will be
published.
