"The Belgians say that part of the German army, mistaking one of their own retiring division* for the enemy, opened fire upon them, whereupon, deluded into thinking this1 en assault by Belgian civilians, the Germans razed the whole city. "I have not been able to acquire any direct evidence in regard to the las! two instances, but the explanation generally credited by disinterested persons is that the Belgians' who had laid down their arma according to the burgomaster's proclamation on the entrance of the enemy, took thom up again when it looked as if thc Ger mans were retreating from the town, ahd opened fire from their windows upon n retiring German train. "The most authoritative German denial of German offences comes from Major General Thaddeus von Jarotz sky, military governor of Brussels, who informed me that in numerous cases he had been recelyed with a pretense of iriondlinesM by Belgian civilians who later f.red .noon the German soldiers from windows and from between thc roof tiles. This was done after a declaration-of surrender by the burgomaster and a proclama tion, warning the citizens against any show of resistance. "In such violations of the rules of war, the general said, he punished thc offenders by burning the house from which the shots were fired. "In everv oaB.e of reported outrage or reprisai which was euecentible of i investigation, I have found either that the outrage was a figment of the Bel gian mind or that it was more than, half excused hy circumstances "The prevalence of the Belgian ? nractice of snlning from the house was perhaps indicated by the warning of the German officer who acted ae guard for five American correspond ents including myself, who were be ing taken as prisoners from Beau mont to Aachen in an army train. We were adviced to li? dotam on the floor. of the car as the Bolgian snipers would shoot at' us from the houses. But there was no firing.

Was Xear to Battles* "Sometimes I was near enoicb to the1 front to see the white artillery smoko spurt into clouds along the horizon and hear the double detona tions which came from artillery at short range.

"The German, soldiers wffl.e punc tllously considerate and polite to wo men and children, apologizing for the discomfort they were causing. Were Very Considerate; "A French liautenant and two Eng lish officers traveled with us in the prison train from Beaumont to Aachen, a halting Journey which took 30 hours.
