HORRORS.
Vandaii-m mid Atrocities on Women
ami Children Committed in Name
of War.
(From Richard Harding Davis' Story
in New York Tribune.)
Ton days ago I was in Lou vain when
it was occupied by Belgian troops
ind King Albert and his staff. The
city dates from tin* eleventh century
ind the population was 12.000. Tb
citizens were brewer-, laeemakers
unl manufacturers of ornaments for
churches. The university once was
the most celebrated in hmropenn cities
unl still is, or was, headquarters of
i he Jesuits.
In the Louvnin College many priests
now in America have been educated,
und 1" days ago ovei the great yellow
walls of the college l saw hanging
two American Hugs, i found the cltj
clean, sleepy and pretty, with narrow
twisting streets and saiart shops and
cafes sei in ilower gardens of the
houses, with red roofs, green shut?
ters a ltd white Walls.
Over those that faced south hnd
been trained pear trees, (heir branch?
es heavy with fruit spread nut ngaln*t
the wall; like branches of candelabra.!
The Town Hall was verj old and verj '
beautiful, an example of ?; diu? ar?
chitecture, in detail and design more
celebrated even that the Town Hi II
of Hruges or Brussels. Ii was BOO
years < id. and lately had been repair?
ed with great taste und at great cost.
Opposite was the Church of St.
Pierre, dating from the ilftccnth cen?
tury, n very noble building, with inan>
chupels, tilled with carvings of the
lime of the Uenaissj nee In wood,
stone and ii <-n. I n i he uuh i r dtj
were 150.000 volumes.

When by troop train wo reached
Louvaiu, the entire heart of the city
was destroyed and are had reached
tin. Boulevard Tirlemont, which faros
the railroad station. The night was
windless, and the sparks rose in steady
leisurely pillars, falling hack into the
furnace from which they sprang. In
their work the soldiers were moving
fr< m 11 ? heart of the city t<? tho out?
skirts, etreet by street, from house to
house.
hi each building, so German sol?
di* ?rs told me, they began at tho lirsl
lloor, and when that was burning
steadily passed to Lh? one next. Thor?
were no exceptions?whether it was a
store, chapel or private residence ?
was destroyed. The occupants had
be< a warned to u-?. and In each desert?
ed shop or house the furniture was
piled, the torch was stuck under it,
ami Into the air went the savings of
years, souvenirs ol children, of par-1
ents, heirlooms thai had passed from]
gen? ration t<? generation.
The people had time only to lilt a
pillow case and lly. Some were not so
fortunate, and by thousands. like
Hocks ol" she< they were rounded up
und marched through tho night to
ei ncentration t amp: . We ?were not al?
lowed to speak to any citizen of Lou
vain, but the Germans crowded the
windows, boastful, gloating, eager to
interpret.
We wer?' free to move from one end
of tli<1 Iraia to the other, an?! in Ihe
two hours during which ?t circled the
Imming city war was before i.s in i h
most hnteful nspect.
In other wars I have watched men
on one hilltop, without hnste, without
''a:i, lire at men on another lull, and
in eonserpteiv e on lioth si-.i-* good men
\\t re \\ ?? ?ted, Hut in those lights then
were no wi>men or children, and the
shells struck only vacnnl stretches of
veldt or uulnhivldted mountainsides.
