The medal, however, missed its purpose, as the designer, aspiring to the rank of a prophet, made it inlauticipation of the fall of Paris. A much 'aought after German medal' struck to commemorate the submarine blockude of England, Feb. 18, 1915. It provides the first example of the famous phrase “ Gen Strata Euglendl” PREFACE. “Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of dem‘la and the hold 0] every joul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird . her sins have reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her iniquitics . for she saith in her heart I sit a queen and am no widow and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death and mourning and famine . and the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their mer- chandise any more . cinnamon and odours and ointments and frankincense and wine and oil and fine flour and wheat and beasts and sheep and horses and chariots and slaves AND THE SOULS 0F MEN.”—Rev. xviii. 2, e! seq. _SOME people are beginning to forget the “ Belgian atrocities " of August and September, 1914- They do not realise that Germany has continued them—in one form 01' another—ever since. They do not understand that a nation convicted of such conduct cannot be given the consider- ation usually granted in such cases when the question of peace becomes practical; and (they appreciate still less the influence which this conduct must have upon the terms of peace themselves. If German soldiers had kept their swords clean in a fair fight for the supremacy of Europe, or for anything else, we should have shaken hands with them when we had beaten them and have retained nothing but admiration for the greatest military effort the world has ever Seen. This they have made impossible. For it is clear that the rules broken by Germany were made not so much to mitigate the horrors of war as to allow men who had fought out an issue to live together afterwards in peace. Germany’s conduct must, therefore, have very far-reaching results. For the deliberate policy authorised by the Kaiser, framed by his General Staff, and carried out by his soldiers and sailors, the whole German nation must in the end be held responsible, and must in the end suffer penalties proportionate to its continued approval of that policy and its readiness to profit by it. Not only must we carefully safeguard peace by the same methods of force Which Germany herself invoked to (shatter all covenants that bound her. but we cannot make peace at all until Germany is powerless to break it. The Prime Minister has solemnly pledged Great Britain, with the full approval not only of the Empire but of the civilised world, to exact full reparation from all Who have been responsible for ‘these violations of civilised warfare. Among the worst are: von Bissing, in Brussels; Manteufiel, ,at Louvain; Bi‘xlow and Schonmann, at Andenne; Bayer, at Dinant; Bohn, at Sommerfeld and 'Termonde ; Stenger, who signed the general order to kill the wounded ; Nieher, at VVavre ; 'Wittenstein, at Clermont—en-Argonne; Fosbender, at Lunéville; Tanner and Clauss, at Gerbéviller and Frambois ; Schrfider, at Compiégne ; the Colonel of the 70th Regiment of Infantry, who mutilated their wounded by order; Major Kastendick (57th Infantry) and Captain Diiltingen, who ordered ‘two women and a child to be killed. There are many others, and the proof of their guilt will become more and more important as the close of active hostilities approaches. Those who urge this country to make peace proposals prematurely will belittle it. Germany herself will attempt in every possible way to deny and to obscure it. But the evidence against her is to be found not merely in the sworn statements of eye-witnesses and of her victims themselves, but in the signed letters and documents of her own soldiers. That evidence proves more than her guilt in certain cases or in a. particular campaign. It proves her deliberate intention to incorporate these atrocious methods in all her subsequent wars and to menace the future peace and civilisation of the whole world with similar barbarities whenever she may think them necessary. Two other points deserve notice. The first is that Germany’s complaints invariably allege serious breaches of international law on the part of other people, without the slightest hint that she proposes to observe the law herself. The second is that, though many opportunities have been given her to answer the accusations made against :her, she has been careful to give no reply. Viscount Grey’s offer that questions of maritime law (7298 (0) should be submitted to an American tribunal was rudely rejected. There was also the offer of the Belgian Bishops to the Catholic Episcopate of Germany and Austria for the full investigation of the whole question of the “ Belgian Atrocit1es ” by a joint committee under a neutral president. Nothlng fairer could have been suggested. No clearer presumption of Germany’s guilt could be adduced than her refusal to entertain the offer. The cynical and immediate contempt shown by Germany for the Hague Conventions and other rules of civilised war has convinced everyone that the strict and continuous observance of such conventions in the future must obtain the sanction of such forcible measures as could be applied, When necessary, by the rest of the world, to the Germanic peoples or to any others who might wantonly violate the agreements of civilisation.

    LAS DOS VIDAS DEL HÉROE Digitalizado por “EL ARTE DE LOS BOSQUES” www.internet.com.uy/scoutuy/woodcraft Apéndices del libro “Las dos vidas del héroe” EL SCOUT MODELO DEL MUNDO por Nelson R. Block Editor de la “Revista Histórica del Escultismo” Baden-Powel nos dejó en “Roverismo hacia el Exito” una descripción de su versión de un Scout modelo: EL ROVER: UN HOMBRE DE LO PROFUNDO DEL BOSQUE Al escribir estas líneas, hay acampando en mi jardín un ejemplo vivo de lo que yo espero que, en amplia escala, sea el resultado de este libro. Así lo espero, con todo mi corazón. Es un Rover Scout de unos dieciocho años, que se está adiestrando para ser un hombre. Ha hecho una larga excursión con su morral a cuestas, en el que lleva una tienda liviana, su cobija, olla para cocinar y alimentos. Porta con él su hacha y una cuerda. Yen su mano un útil bordón con una cabeza tallada, hecha por él mismo. Además de esta carga, lleva consigo algo que es todavía más importante: una sonrisa feliz dibujada en su cara tostada por el clima. Anoche durmió con un viento y frío inclementes, a pesar de que le di a escoger dormir bajo techo. Simplemente observó, con una sonrisa, que habla sido un caluroso verano, y que un poco de viento frío era un cambio que seria provechoso. Es amante riel aire libre. Cocinó sus propios alimentos y se preparó un abrigo con todos los recursos de un viejo acampador.- Hoy ha estado mostrando a nuestros Scouts locales cómo utilizar el hacha con más efectividad, y les demostró que puede ensogar” un hombre, sin fallar, con su lazo.

Apart from few exceptions,1 these proceedings found a consistent critical echo, whether within the then Weimar Republic or outside Germany, in the countries of the Allied Powers. The French Prime Minister, Aristide Briand, saw these trials as a comedy, a parody of justice and a scandal, and was not the only one to voice such harsh criticism.2 The Times wrote that these proceedings were “little better than a farce”;3 others spoke of a “judicial farce”.4 Alexander Cadogan, then a * Matthias Neuner has been a Trial Counsel at the Office of the Prosecutor, Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) since 2009.

  • Centenary of the First World War the Battle of Jutland
    CENTENARY OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND The National Commemoration of the Centenary of the Battle of Jutland 31 May 2016 St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Lyness Royal Naval Cemetery, Hoy Jutland Bank THE NATIONAL COMMEMORATION OF THE CENTENARY OF THE BATTLE OF JUTLAND 31 May 2016 St. Magnus Cathedral, Kirkwall, Orkney The Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s Lyness Royal Naval Cemetery, Hoy Jutland Bank Front cover Ships of the Grand Fleet at anchor, Scapa Flow, 1916 © IWM SP1680 2 1 The clash between the British and German fleets in 1916 is described as the Battle of Jutland, but, in truth, the battle was fought over a huge area of the North Sea. It involved more ships than any previous naval battle. It also came at an awkward time in the development of power-driven warships. Their speed was much greater, but communication by radio was still in its infancy and radar had not been invented, while funnel smoke made communications by flags or light much more difficult. The potential for things to go wrong – always very great in sea battles – was greater than ever. There was, understandably, public disappointment with the result, but there is no doubt that it was fought with the highest courage and determination under the most difficult and challenging conditions. Whatever the judgement on the outcome, this commemoration of the centenary of the Battle is focused on the endurance and gallantry of all those who took part, on both sides, and particularly, on those who lost their lives.
