Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fulton County in the World War: Reviewed Under the Direction and Censorship of the Fulton County Council of Defense At the outset of the war the task of stopping the German tide fell mostly upon France and Belgium. England, like the United States, had never believed in a large standing army, and its men in arms were scattered over the various British possessions all over the world. She at once began recruiting men, and in eight months General Kitchener had men equipped and ready for service. The Belgian Army of men attempted to hold the Germans who demanded free passage into France. The great German howitzers, litterally smashed their way into Belgium, proved the utter uselessness of forts and demonstrated that the war was to be fought under new rules. In every town and village in Belgium, atrocities were practiced which, at the outset of the war, were unbe lievable. Stories of the murder of innocent civilians, of the destruc tion of private property, the maiming of little children and wholesale crimes against women, were received with skepticism all over the civilized world, but subsequent proof of the guilt of the invaders left no room for doubt and showed that a well defined plan of terrorism was to be a partjof German warfare.
