Page 37 - So waren wir gezwungen, uns über den berechtigten Protest der luxemburgischen und der belgischen Regierung hinwegzusetzen. Das Unrecht — ich spreche offen — , das Unrecht, das wir damit tun, werden wir wieder gutzumachen suchen, sobald unser militärisches Ziel erreicht ist. Wer so bedroht ist, wie wir, und um sein Höchstes kämpft, der darf nur daran denken, wie er sich durchhaut!
Page 38 - As to the German colonies, that is a matter which must be settled by the great international Peace Congress. Let me point out that our critics talk as if we had annexed lands peopled by Germans, as if we had subjected the Teutonic people to British rule. When you come to settle who shall be the future trustees of these...

Page 14 - Kilwa district, 434 floggings are recorded, and in the colonies taken together, 4,783, not counting those of an unofficial character. The instrument of torture, a rhinoceros-hide whip, breaks the skin at the first blow. Severe illness, and, in many cases, death, follows. The employment of such a means of punishment exasperates the natives and rouses their anger to a terrible pitch — a matter not to be wondered at.

Page 15 - That is pure barbarism, an act of cruelty perpetrated in the name of civilisation and Christianity, against which we protest with all our might. The things we hear of as happening in our colonies match the deeds of Oriental despots. How can people, who pride themselves on their civilisation, be guilty of such acts?
Page 22 - In German South-West Africa floggings had increased from 928 in 1909 to 1,263 in 1910.
