Transcription: Germany had left the League within two months one month, & I firmly believe her decision was mainly partly due to the impressions carried away by Goebels of his experiences in the French- dominated Assembly, as well as to the position created in the Disarmament Conference. Ormsby-Gore's speech, by the way, was excellent.   Busstag (Repentance Day) - all offices and shops closed and most people one meets are carrying wreaths to the graveyards. An Evangelical holiday dating from  the Reformation.   The care bestowed by the people here on the graves would be a model for Ireland. This interest accounts for the strikingly large number of florists in Danzig. And on All Souls Night candles deck the graves like constellations of stars.

Transcription: that it was friendly and helpful. I had indeed said openly that while the French proposal was general in its wording, everyone in the world would know that it was made with reference to Germany.   An attack was staged in the Press ("Journal des Nations") against Lange & myself & he (Lange) referred to this at the next meeting. I joined him but added that I could only consider it an honour a compliment that my name should be associated with that of a man whose honour & integrity made him an ornament of the League of Nations. He was much touched.   I regret now that I did not force the attack on the Berenger proposal. I feel I weakened. Naturally, I had no kind of instructions from the Government. (such instructions were very, very rare & on League matters were usually bad). The fight was continued on other lines (Czech-Polish proposal, etc.) but I yielded to the general views of the Committee.

Transcription: Cabinet Minister. Berenger made speeches about liberty, equality & fraternity which even at the time I found nauseating. He went out of his way to throw a few unexpected bouquets at me. I believed his object was merely anti-German and I believed it to be the worst possible policy for the League: at the time I said that with Nazi-ism just come into power it was like an invitation to Germany to leave the League. So for Berenger's bouquets I returned a few suggestions - sand in his machine. I was backed by Dr. that grand old Norwegian gentleman. Lange, Ormsby-Gore ran round the table to show me an account in the "Times" of Nazi atrocities. I didn't like the atrocities but I also didn't like Ormsby-Gore's interference, though I knew it was well- meant. Old Berenger changed his note: for flowery compliment he substituted what were virtually threats -"chacun prend sa responsibities." There was then an adjournment. Ambassador von Keller told me afterwards that his delegation had at first disliked my intervention, but he had himself seen

Transcription: 20/11/35   Senator Henri Berenger, president de la Commission Senatoriale des affaires étrangères, has made a speech at Paris, speaking of "la ruine du la Pacte lui-meme" - because it has missed a great opportunity in permitting in certain regions the continuation of slavery! He also speaks of the abuse of the véritiés juridiques in regard to Italy.   The shocking cynicism, or the intolerable humbug of this man. The most pronounced isolationist in England, contemptuous of the League, could not equal it.   My indignation is due to my having listened to several speeches by Berenger at Geneva a few years ago. At the Assembly in Sept. 1933, Berenger was on the 6th Ctee which dealt with minority questions. (Shortly before, acting as rapporteur to the Council on minority questions I had had to deal with the rather well-known case of Bernstein, a German Jew in Upper Silesia & which in a way raised the question of German persecution of Jews.) A sub-ctee was formed to discuss drafts of a resolution which while not mentioning Germany were designed to condemn her publicly - not on the legal basis of the Silesian Treaty but on general grounds - the rights of man. Berenger led the band, ably assisted by Ormsby-Gore, a British

Description: Ratne bojne dopisnice (Feldpost) bile su najfunkcionalnije sredstvo komuniciranja vojnika sa porodicom tokom Prvog svjetskog rata. Većinom su bile cenzurisane i na njima se nalazio pečat vojne cenzure, regimentalni pečat i pečat vojne pošte. Na velikom broju dopisnica nalazila su se sva tri pečata, međutim, nerijetko se nalazio samo jedan ili dva. Poznato je da su vojnici bili strogo kažnjavani ukoliko su svjesno pisali bilo šta što otkriva vojne tajne. Pisati su mogli samo vojnici. Sve što bi napisali davalo bi se vojnom cenzoru da to pregleda i tek kad on odobri moglo se poslati porodici. Čitajući pisma, može se uvidjeti da su ona poprilično štura, te da su dobro pazili o svemu šta je napisano, upravo iz razloga da bi izbjegli probleme sa nadređenim. Feldpost sistem Austro-ugarske Monarhije, omogućavao je vojnicima da komuniciraju sa svojim najbližima. Sačuvane razglednice i pisma pružaju lični pogled na to kako su pojedini vojnici doživljavali sukobe. || Devet bojnih dopisnica (Feldpost)

Description: Este un volum de jurnal din cele trei deţinute de Biblioteca Judeţeană Octavian Goga Cluj. || Dumitru Nistor, ţăran din satul Năsăud s-a născut în 1893. Visând din copilărie să călătorească şi să vadă ţări străine, în 1912, când vine vremea “număraşului” (recrutării) el cere să fie primit nu în miliţia ardeleană, unde erau recrutaţi de obicei românii, ci în marina austro-ungară. Terminând şcoala de marină, după o călătorie la Viena, este îmbarcat ca Geschützvormeister (“primul îndreptător de tun”) pe vasul SMS Kaiserin Elisabeth, cu destinaţia Asia. Prins de război în Marea Chinei, crucişătorul Kaiserin Elisabeth participă la câteva bătălii navale, pentru ca în 2 noiembrie 1914 să se hotărască scufundarea lui. Echipajul pierde şi lupta terestră, este luat prizonier de japonezi şi transportat în arhipelagul nipon. Timp de zece luni, ţăranul-marinar din Năsăud va fi prizonier într-o mănăstirea buddhistă din Himeji, iar apoi mutat într-un lagăr, construit special pentru prizonierii germani şi austrieci, la Aonogahara, nu departe de Kobe, unde va rămâne până la sfârşitul anului 1919.
