"ATRocITlEs" PRESS
AGENT YARNS

Brussels, Belgium, Feb. 6.-Widely
published stories of the atrocities"
perpetrated by Belgian officials in the
Congo region of Africa, which were
later disproved by the testimony of
impartial travellers, are now explained
by the unofficial advances made by
Germany for the purchase of Bel
GUMS Congo possessions.
1t is intimated in official circles here
that German interests financed a
worldwide press agent campaign by
which practically all of the newspa-
pers of Europe and America were VIC
timized into publishing articles in
which the Belgian army officers in
the Congo were described as monsters
of cruelty who inflicted terrible and
inhuman punishment on the natives
at the slightest provocation. Illustra-
lions were sent out picturing African
natives minus arms or feet, with the
implication that those members had
been chopped off by the Belgians. 1t
is asserted that these photographs
were really of negroes who had been
mutilated by wild beasts or in acct
dents. The alleged purpose of the
campaign of defamation was to en-
able German capitalists to gobble
up the Belgian Congo "in the interests
OF humanity" 1t is not charged that
the German government had any
knowledge of the campaign, but that
it was engineered by private capital.
