I can see in Pennsylvania congressmen and judges and clergymen and G. A. R. veter- [29] "Speaking of Prussians — " ans held as hostages and as potential vic- tims of the firing squad, in case some son or some grandson of old John Burns, of Get- tysburg, not regularly enrolled, takes up his shotgun in defence of his homestead. I can see a price put on the head of some mod- ern Molly Pitcher, and a military prison waiting for some latter-day Barbara Frietchie. For we must remember that what we Am...ericans call patriots the anointed War Lord calls franc-tireurs, meaning bushwhackers.
I do not believe I personally can be charged with an evinced bias against the German Army, as based on what I saw of its operations in the opening months of the war. Because I had an admiration for the courage and the fortitude of the German common soldier, and because I expressed that admiration, I was charged with being pro-German by persons who seemingly did not understand or want to understand that a spectator may admire the individual with- out in the least sympathising with the causes which sent him into the field.
