Before examining the psychological principles which sway the Germans in the present conflict, let us recall some of the attempts that have been made to limit the laws of warfare among civilized nations.
Avant d'examiner les principes psychologiques qui guidèrent les Allemands dans le conflit auquel nous assistons, rappelons quelques-unes des tentatives faites pour limiter les droits de la guerre chez les nations civilisées.

There is no reason why I should investigate the process of racial formation in this place, for, despite the fallacious statements of the German historians, it may be affirmed that there are no unmixed races among civilized nations to-day.
Je n'ai pas à examiner ici comment les races se sont formées. Malgré les affirmations illusoires des historiens allemands, on peut soutenir qu'il n'en est plus de pures aujourd'hui chez les nations civilisées.

The history of Franco-German relations during the past few years makes it evident to one's mind that France could not have refused to fight unless she had resigned herself to the lowest place among civilized nations.
L'histoire des relations franco-allemandes, depuis quelques années, laisse dans l'esprit cette évidence qu'à moins de tomber au dernier rang des peuples, nous ne pouvions plus éviter la guerre.

In short, the conduct of the girl excited no more attention that that of any person of feeble intellect would excite in civilized society, while her person met with more consideration and respect.
En un mot, la conduite de Hetty n’excita pas plus d’attention que ne le ferait dans une société civilisée celle d’une personne connue pour avoir l’esprit faible, tandis qu’elle trouvait chez les Indiens plus de considération et de respect.

It was no good asking any of the crowd we met. They didn't look as if they understood any civilized tongue.
Inutile de demander aucun renseignement aux gens que nous croisions, ils ne devaient pas connaître de langues civilisées.

All nations, savage and civilized alike, are swayed by mystic ideals which are more powerful than any influence exerted by reason.
Chaque nation, civilisée ou barbare, est conduite par un idéal mystique plus impérieux que toutes les raisons.

– Oui, oui. Donnez-moi une viande civilisée, si vous voulez que je mange.

From this point, we admit that there may be, if I may venture to say so, civilizations of people who are not civilized.
Nous admettons qu'il y ait, si j'ose dire, des civilisations de non-civilisés.

I have done everything possible in my efforts to keep the peace, and it is not I who will bear the responsibility of the frightful disaster which at present menaces the whole civilized world.
Je suis allé jusqu'à l'extrême limite du possible dans mes efforts pour maintenir la paix. Ce n'est pas moi qui supporterai la responsabilité de l'affreux désastre qui menace maintenant tout le monde civilisé.

If war leads to such results in the most civilized countries, one may fancy what the situation must be in districts where the invader is under no restraint.
Si la guerre conduit à ces résultats dans les pays les plus civilisés, on peut supposer ce qu'elle doit être à travers des régions où l'envahisseur se sent libre.

"I daresay you are right, Corporal M'Nab," she observed; "for I've often heard of the heroes of your country, who have been among the first of the civilized world, if what they tell me of them is true."
– J’ose dire que vous avez raison, caporal Mac-Nab, – observa-t-elle, – car j’ai souvent entendu parler des héros de votre pays qui sont placés au premier rang parmi ceux du monde civilisé, si ce qu’on m’a raconté d’eux est vrai.

The first act of the Delaware, on rejoining his friend, was to proceed gravely to disencumber himself of his civilized attire, and to stand forth an Indian warrior again.
Le premier soin du Delaware, lorsqu’il eut rejoint son ami, fut de procéder gravement à se débarrasser de son accoutrement d’homme civilisé, et de se montrer de nouveau un guerrier indien.

Contrary to what a civilized man would have expected, the admission of the motives and of the errands of their prisoners produced no visible effect on either the countenances or the feelings of the listeners.
Contre tout ce qu’aurait pu supposer un homme civilisé, l’exposition des motifs et des intentions de leurs prisonniers ne produisit aucun effet sensible sur les traits et les sentiments des membres de l’assemblée.
