Pari?, Aug. 20;? (Correspondence Of The Associated Press.)? A lively Interest has be -u awakened I" Franco recently over the fate of tho neighbor ing little Grand Duchy of Luxemburg througb whose territory the Germans fell upon the French stronghold of Longwy. 1'art of the Interest Is due to (lie fact that It is through the ac quiescence and with tho assistance of France that Switzerland is today pro vidlng food for the population of t ie Grand Duchy, pending the gathering of the harvest; und part to the fact that, for the first tltue. sonic of de tails of the violation by Germans of tho neutrality of the tin, state are just coining to light. La Temps of Paris has reproduced from the Nieuwe Rotterdamscbn Cour ant the text of a proclamation, printed in Cohlenz, Germany, und brought with the invading Prussian troops, to be posted up In the Grand Duchy as a Justification of the military occupa tion by Germany of u state whose neu trality Germany had Ruarnteed.' The French, and even the Dutch pa' pers, however, have been unable to recount more than u small part of the story of what took place in Lux embourg in the first days of last Au gust. The German censorship on everything emanating from the Grand Duchy has proved to bo the strictest. Mn<h that has come out ot Luxem bourg during the past year has con sequently, borne the stamp of doubt ful authorship. From official and semi-official sour ces. The Associated Press has been able to secure an authentic account of the Prussian occupation of the lit tle Grand Duchy, as well as of cer tain well substantiated details of much that followed. On August I, 11)11, when the war cloud, was lowering over Europe, Min ister "of State Paul Eyschen. president of the Government of the Grand Du chy of Luxembourg, who sine the cuiablidliment of the independence of the country hus been virtually Its flrst Minister und real rules, asked both Germany and Franca, ofilcially if in the event of hostilities between the two countries, the neutrality of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg would bp respected. Ilefore any reply could be received from Franco, the reply of Germany took the form of action. The same day?Saturday August first?Al phonse M?nchen, Mayor of the City of Luxembourg, issued a proclamation to tho population of the capital announ cing thnt the neutrality of the. Grand Duchy had beon violated by Germany, through tho occupation of the railway station of Trois Vierges by Prussian troops, and culling upon the people ot Luxembourg to remain calm. The Incident of apprehension of the twentyyenr-old Grand Duchess, Marie Adelheid, by the Germans, and her re moval from Colma^-llerg to the Grand Ducal palace at Luxembourg where she was kept under guard, alrady has been published. Events moved with extraordinary rapidity throughout the Grand Duchy on Sunday, August 2. A' five o'clock that morning German troops had al ready entered Luxembourg and were moving rapidly across to attack Frence whose mobilization had only teen ordered at midnight. First there wore ft??uui ou motorcycles and bi cycles. Hard upon these came three motors loaded with officers and sol diers, and then followed fast ttve m or,, motors which traversed the little Grand Duchy at a mad speed, from Tr?ves toward Longwy. Before ten o'clock In the morning, three military trains had passed through the Grand Puchy into France and 30,000 German troops were already on the march ac ross neutral soil. Hut Premier Eyschen had given his whole "to to making and keeping the freedom of Luxembourg and he d!? net surrender easily. Roused out of bed at daybreak by the news of the first incursion of German troons, he telephone the German minister to the Grand Duchy his protest and then put it Into writing. "I have Just advised Your Excellen cy," he wrote Minister von Buch, "by telephone of the appearance on Grand Ducal territory of German officers* and soldiers. I learn that a train trans porting troops is even now on its way to Luxembourg, and that a great num ber of autos have passed through Wasserbitlings for Luxembourg. The Grand Ducal government energetical ly protests against this flagrant vio lation of the neutrality of the coun try, while awaiting subs?quent de velopments. I beg you to transmit this protest without delay to the gov ernment of tho Empire." But he did not wait for the German Minister to transmit the protest. He sent a telegram of his own to Imperial Foreign Minister von Jagow. and the Grand Duchess herself sent one to her cousin, the German Emperor. At the same ttmc he sept Major van Dyck of the Luxembourg army of lfio sold iers, with svprotest to be delivered to ; the commander of the invading troops. But Major van Dyck'had no luck. He spent all day. missing the advancing Prussians, and it was Lieu tenant Wilhelmy, charged with a simi lar mission, who succeeded in, regist ering s formai protest with the r >m~ roandant of the German troops who bad taken possession of the railway station of the City of Luxembourg, and Lieutenant Fruuck, under like orders, who presented In person Minister Eyschsn's protest to Major von Bser ensprung. commanding the German corps of occupation. It was towards evening that Minis ter Eyschen received an answer to his telegram to Herr von Jagow?Indeed ho received two, one from the German KEMBO?RG I THE WORLD Foreign Minister .mil the other from the Chancellor of the German Em pire. The little Grand Hurle ss had her reply from her Imperial ( ousin on August eighth. All wi re in the name tenor. Von Jagow's message said: "The Imperial government guarantees Luxembourg full compensation for any damage done by us . . . We have reliable information, according to which French fon-es are in march on Luxembourg." To this. Minister Byschen replied by telegraph: "There Is not one single French soldier on Luxembourg territory nor any sign whatsoever of an threatening of Lux embourg's neutrality from the* French side. On the contrary, on August Aral th erails of the railroad on French territory near Mont St. Martln-Long wy were torn up." In spite of this assurance und in spite of ttie tact thai hours since Ger man scouts hud already penetrated through Luxmbourg into Praucc and knew that no French attack upon Lux cmbourg had been or was being plan ned, the troops occupying the <-'ity of Luxembourg proposed to post u pro clamation, dated August. 2, 1911, Which had been printed la Coblenz and brought with them on their Coming to the Grand Duchy, giving as the reason for the military occupation of that neutral stat,. that Frone had already violated the neutrality of the Grand Duchy. Minister Eyschen obtained a copy of tills document and read it to the Chamber of Deputies or the Grand Duchy. Its lext follows: "Owing to the failure of Prance t;> respect the neutrality of Luxembourg, her warlike acts?established beyond any doubt?-directed against German troops from the very territory of Lux embourg, have forced His Majesty un der the bitter compulsion of iron ne cessity, to order that German troops, the Bnghth Army Corps of the Plrst Line, ulso march into Luxembourg." This document was signed simply: "Commanding General of the VIII Army Corps." Minister Byschen protested against this proclamation with the utmost vigor to the commanding officer of the Prussian troops in occupation, and it was then abandoned for one whirl: read: "His Majesty, moved by un avoidable necessity and induced to the action by disregard of neutrality on the part or France, has ordered the marching of troops Into Luxem bourg." This second document was signe i "Tulff von Tfichcpve utid W'eld enbach. Commanding Gonoral of the Prussian VII Army Corps." Against this, also. Minister Eyschen protested and telegraphed his protest to Chancellor von Cethmann-IJollweg. The reply he received wus that no hostilities were directed uglnst the Grand Duchy and that the local laws of the Grand Duchy would continue to prevail. Constralne'd to accept this situation, Minister Eyschen asked as surances to the same effect from the German Commander and from the German Minister. Doth gave thorn. The following day, however, after this agreement had been reached? that Luxembourg should be free to ad minister her own affairs?the German diction began. The first step was to demand of Luxembourg's Minister of State, al- | ready struggling with the problem of feeding his people, the Immediate expulsion of the French Minister to Luxembourg from the soil of the Grand Duchy. When the demand was made. Mr. Eyschen. pointing out that France waB not at war with the Grand Duchy, asked the German Minister to put his rennest in writing. Herr von Buch did so. "I have the honor," he wrote Mr. Eyschen; "in conformance with the Instructions of Ills Excellence Hon orai von Fuchs, to beg you to Invite the French Minister. Mr. Mollnrd, to quit Luxembourg as soon as possible and to go to F.-ance; otherwise tht? German military authorities will be faced with the painful necessity of placing Mr. Molland under the sur vell'ance of a military' guard and in extremity, of proceeding to his ar rfst." The French Minister made his own way,'with neither escort nor safe conduct, through, the German lines. His last official act was to beg the. Premier of the Grand Duchy to eare' for the French citizens who might be remaining. Tho German Chancellor had ex plained that Germany desired only to administer her State railway through the Grand Duchy. But the Prime Min ister of Luxembourg was forced to pretst that th0 seizure and occupation of the postofflce, the public telephones, the telegraph and the governramt building were not essential to the ad ministration of tho railway. The night of August third. German senti nels stationed in the Place de la Con stitution of the City of Luxembourg thought they saw a French aeroplane over the city, and began firing at ran dom. On August third, the 29th Infantry, the 161st regiment armed with ma chine guns and the 44th artillery, fell to hacking down trees, digging en trenchments and driving the inhabi tants from their homes in the'district around (Merl. Minister Byschen Bet forth these infractions of previous assurances to the Parliament of Lux embourg at its special meeting on Au gust fourth. The Grand Duchess was unable to attend her Parliament, not being permitted to leave her palace. But . tho German military authorities suggested to her that an Isolated resi dence In the country like Colmar Berg was no plsce for her younger sisters and advised her to send for them. "Why should they not be safe at Colmar-Derg?" the Grand Ducht**s asked.,, "They have nothing to fear from my people, it is not fitting that my' family give the signal for flight to my distracted people." And they re mained; On August fourth a Luxembourger, .T. Thetsen. was arrested by the Ger man military authority for approach ing thb German lines.

This arrest was fol lowed by others. "Surely." said Minister Eyschen in protest, "these arrests are net in keep ing with the assurances I have been given by Tils Imperial Majesty, that the civil laws of the (grand Duchy will be respectedtf General Tulff von Tscheppe un Weidenbach on August 0 demanded and was accorded audience with the Grand Duchess, lie repeated the as surance already given that the liber ties of the Luxcinbourgers would be carefully conserved. Immediately after the interview he undertook to censor the news published In the news of the Grund Duchy. Arrests of civilians charged with "approach ing the German military works" con tinued, and those arrested were ship ped Into Germany. Thp entire public-telephone service of the Grand Duchy was suspended by the German military nutncltles on August U with the exception of the service in the City of Luxembourg proper. Two days later. General von Schenk wrote Miulstor Eyschen de manding the rigid censorship of -all newspapers in Grund Ducal territory. On the fourteenth, the ^'Independence Luxembourgeoise." the" leading dally of Luxembourg, voluntarily suspend ed nubl'/atinn after printing a bitter announcement that It was impossible to give the news under, the restrictions made by the Invading military author ities. Meanwhile the people of the Grand Dutchy feared that they were to be left to starve. "I told- the superior officers to whom I first spoke." said Minister Eyschen to the Chamber of Deputies, in giving his official account of what had passed, at the extraordi nary meeting on August 4. "that Lux embourg did not possess, sufficient victuals to feed so many troops; that we were accustomed to buy products in bulk from Antworp. a .port which wo are. so to speak, the. 'Hinterland;" that this port had been closed to us, and that 1 had addressed Belgium re questing that other ports. be opened to us. and that this-was refused. You know that the countries which sur round us have closed tbelr frontiers, against any exportation to the Grand Duchy. I have applied to right and left for'an exception in favor of Lux embourg, b it I I ave not succeeded." Cut off. wholly surrounded by Ger man troops and subject to their mili tary jurisdiction, the history of Lux embourg since that day Is declared to have been an accumulation of en croachments and sacrifices which the Luxembourgers regard ss tyrannies. Today there are more than 4.000 Lux embourgera serving as volunteers In the French army. In the spring the food supply failed. The government took what little was left and put the population on bread cards, ?ach per son bein entitled to seven ounces of broad daily. Slowly that amount'was reduced until in April the people liv ing on four ounces, of bread a day. With the arrival of help from Swlt zeriand this was raising again to a KE; OR r SHE LOST $6,000,000 roort Barclay. Tho result war. that Mrs. Barclay's agents borrowed money at usurious rate?, paid exorbitant bonuses for loans and made unreasonable and un businesslike concessions to tenants. This mismanagement 'had brought her to a point where she bad little more than $;:u.UiO worth of realty left. Th(. marriage of Mrs. Barclay to her present husband was. like her first wedding, an affair of much social prominence. She is the daughter of the late George \V. Fowler of Tarry town, l'util a few years ago aho ex hibited at the horse shows. Her first husband. Augustus Brown ing Prentice, was loft a vast fortune by Ids father, but the task of looking after it weighed so heavily upon tho scm's mind that he became afflicted with nervous disorders and he was finally committed to Bcllevuo, where he died in 1906. shade over six ounces of bread a day, where it now stands. Today the sentiment In the Grand Duchy would appear to be that ex pressed by the Grand Duchess to her Parliament, on November 10 when shc su!d : "The neutrality of the Grand Duchy has been violated. I and my govern ment hastened to pretest ugainst this act. The facts were promptly brought to the attention of the powers signatory of tho Treaty of London of 1S67.
