FATE OF LUI
INTERESTS
Neutrality of Grand Duchy Gross
ly Violated by Germans Since
Fir?t Days of War Despite
Vigorous Protests.
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;

"Surely." said Minister Eyschen in
protest, "these arrests are net in keep

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.

This mismanagement 'had brought her
to a point where she bad little more

Th(. marriage of Mrs. Barclay to

2 You save seven-olglits of Hie labor required to break land and sow
grain.
:i You got a larger yield and n sure crop. No wtnrter-klllcd grain.
5 Your land gets the benefit of winter cover-crops, which retards washing
and leaching of the soil by winter rainB.
fi The grain stubble and roots add humus to yuur soil.
7 Having been (sowed early in the fail you get the grain off curly and
follow with peas or corn. ,
8 The peas gather nitrogen from the air worth many dollars per acre arid
also add more humus to your soil.
1) Plenty of oats and pea vine hay make It possible to keep more and bet
