colonial rule, and he warned against
it. But the traders, the capitalists,
were too strong for him, and sudden
ly the Herreros found thimselves un
der strict military discipline, some
thing they had never before experi
enced and did not understand. The
German verboten appeared every
where, and the natives were flogged,
fined and imprisoned for attempting
to continue in the freedom of the
rights which had been theirs from
time of mind.
Protee's <o Courts Fruitless.
Protests to German coionial courts
brought neither relief nor justice; for
the natives it became the sjambok
humiliation and forced labor; for the
German it was champagne, immunity
and unbridled license.
At last the Herreros preferred to
die wholesale as warriors instead of
piecemeal as slaves, 'l hey rebelled in
1904. and for two years the bush ran
red with the bloodiest race war known
to history. The Germans deliberate
ly and systematically set out to de
stroy a race with their cruelty and
repeated oppression couid not subdue.
Gen. von Trotha was in supreme
command of the German forces, and
his conduct in the field was marked
by a fiendishness new even for a Ger
man. No matter what were the bar
barities of the Heroics, the Hun out
savaged them at every turn, and on
October 20, 1904, General von Trotha
issued his infamous proclamation:
“I, the great general of the Ger
man sold ers, send this letter to the
Herero nation. The Hereros are no
longer German subjects. They have
murdered and robbed and cut off the
ears and the nesses and other mem
bers of wounded soldiers and they are
now too cowardly to fight. Whosoever
brings one of the chieftains as a pris
oner to one of my stations shall le
eeive 1,000 marks, and for Samuel
Maherero I wall pay 5,000 marks.
“The Herero nation must now leave
the country. If the people do it not
I will compel them with the big tube.
Within the German frontier every
Herero, with or without rifle, with or
without cattle, will be shot. I will
not take over any more women and
children, but I will either drive them
back to your people or have them
fired on. These are my words to the
nation of the Hereros.
“The great General of the Mighty
Emperor. VON THOTHA."
The Hereros would not surrender
their chiefs and Von Trotha made his
threats good. He shot and hanged and
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllll
crucified and outraged and poisoned
and starved and buried a1 ve. So
fiendish were his acts that he became
the object of bitter attacks by the
social democrats at home, but he was
vigorously defended by the imperial
chancellor in the Reichstag on Decem
ber 8, 1906, when it was officially
stated that he had “given proof of
gi eat humanity during the period of
h s command!”
''eroros practically Wiped Out.
By ♦hat humanity the Hereros were
practically exterminated or driven into
the fastness - f the Kalahari desert,
there *o “eke out a miserable existence
until many finally succumbed to hun
ger and th'rrt.”
While the Herero rebellion cost Ger
many the huge sum of $150,000,000
; nd more tm,n two-thirds of the native
population, '* enab'cd her to introduce
great numbers of troops and. vast
military supplies into the colony and
otherwise to prepare for The Day.
But when The Day finally arrived
in August, 1914, despite her prepara
tions and her intriguing to foment
trouble between Briton and Boer, Ger
man,' was amazed and disgusted to
find Briton and Boer fighting shoulder
to shoulder, and after nine short
months of the most strenuous and bit
ter fighting known in this great war
of bard and bitter fighting she was
in full retreat in southwest Africa
and over Windhuk, its capital, was
hoisted the Un on Jack. Among other
German supplies captured were
enough steel horse shoes to shoe all
the horses in South Africa for the
next twenty years!
The Huns now have the supreme
i.nd colossai impudence to declare
through Dr. Solf, their colonial min
ister, “that "he African colonies must
be returned to Germany, even if Bel
gium and occupied France and Alsace
Lorraine must be given in exchange
therefor.
“For Germany’s future p isition as
:t world power sems most closely
hound up with her colonial future.
. . . Th:s balance of power created
in the colonial field will, by removing
future possibilities of conflict, consti
tute one of the best guarantees for
lasting world peace!”
Germany was never more brutally
and frankly Prussian than when this
pedagogue, this mothpiuece of the All
Highest and the rest o' the Potsdam
gang so put himself on record. She
has given further notice that her idea
of a lasting peace i- one where she,
triumphant, will control the rest of the
