In The German Terror in France Mr. Arnold J. Toynbee gives us the continuation of The German Terror in Belgium. Mr. Toynbee is an admirable and judicial compiler of evidence, and the numerous photographic illustrations here reproduced help to make more real this terrible indictment, this nightmare of German methods in warfare. Mr. Toynbee's volume begins with the German advance "from Liége to the Marne." We are told that " the massacres at Aerschot, the bombardment of Malines, the devastation of the villages between Malines and Louvain, and the sack of the city of Louvain itself, were all directly connected " with the advance on Antwerp, and " have made it notorious above all other German operations in the European War." But the advance on Antwerp was a subsidiary diversion to cover the tremendous and incredibly swift advance into France which was thrown back at the Marne. The outrages committed by the main armies "in their passage probably amounted to a greater sum of crime and suffering than the horrors concentrated between the Belgian frontier and Liége, or between the Démer and the Loire.It is useless here to describe the details of this dreadful narrative in which we see the Blonde Beast sacrificing human beings of all ages to all fates, robbing, pillaging, and doing unspeakable things, and things so filthy that it is difficult to understand how such ideas could exist.
