BELCIANS PROBE
CHARGES Of GERMAN
war BULLETINS

London, Sept. 15.-The official
press bureau, acting for the Belgian
legation in London, has made public
the second report of the Belgian com
mission appointed to investigate into
alleged German atrocities at LOU
vain and in the district around Ma
lines. This report reviews Incl
dents heretofore generally reported.
but IL adds the documents and evil
dence on which its conclusions rest.
The commission finds that on en-
tering Louvain the Germans rcqufsi-
toned food and lodging. German
troops took possession of the cash in
all the Louvain banks, burst open
houses and pdllaged and committed
other excesses. The report then re-
lated with considerable length two
alleged instances In which women
were outraged by German soldiers
and asserts that there have been in
stances where women and children
have been stabbed with bayOnets and
their legs cut off. One case is cit
ed where a workman. covered with
kerosene was thrown into a burn
ing house.
OF the burning of Louvain. the re-
port says:
Everything tends to prove that
German regiments, through mistake
fired at one another. At once the
Germans began bombarding the
town, pretending that civilians had
fired on their troops. a suggestion
denied by all witnesses"
To spread the fire in Louvain the
report charges. Germans entered
houses and threw hand grenades. THE
commission contends that from sew
eral places in Belgium the male poDu-
lation. has been sent to Germany and
they were slaves. =

CROW FEAST IN
CITY. COUNCIL
P0PlE KEEPS
CONTRACT

Around one long mahogany table
in the city hall last evening the mu-
nicipal fathers of Trinidad gathered
to eat crow. Of late crow has been
the favorite poultry of the council,
and it was nice palatable dish that
was served up last night. Only two
refused second helping, Alderman
Wright and Donahue. The latter de.
clared that his digestive organs were
out of whack and that he did not rel
ish the feast. The mayor silently re-
belled also. Incidentally it will be
observed that Pople brothers retain
the contract for sweeping and clean
ing the streets.
AS 1t was remarked by an alder
man during the discussion. the coun-
Gil had undergone u change of heart
since the last meeting In regard to
the Poples. who had been summoned
to appear and show cause why the
contract should not be taken from
them. Last meeting night. acting
on numerous complaints the council
voted as unit to cancel the con-
tract and only the interposition of
the city attorney saved the council
from voting to cancel then and there.
So Pople was summoned to appear be-
fore the court of impeachment.
Lo, last night the cloak of meek
ness and humility wrapped the al
dermen like shrcud. Those who
were loudest In declaring two weeks
ago that the contract was not being
lived up to. last night found every
thing highly satisfactory. Whereas.
the streets two weeks ago were un-
kempt and neglected, the same streets
are now clean as dance hall floor
like the streets OF Spotless Town. and

fix the inception of the agitation.

As a matter OF fact there have

have been accused of disregardins

head last meeting when bill was

the contractor. instead of the city,

But-Mr. Pople showed last night
where there was great variance be-

London, Sept. 15.-The corre-
spondent of the Central News at
Dieppe, under date of Monday, Sep
tember IA, transmits a report that
the German army under General
Won Kluck has been forced to sur
render.
General Won Kluck has been op-
Grating on the German right wing
and consequently has been opposed
to the left wing Of the allies. His
army has been retiring before allies
for several days. Roye and Ham are
to the southeast of Amiens and were
occupied by the Germans two days
ago. Recent reports show that these
towns are now in the possession Of
the allies.
The correspondent says: IA re-
port has reached Dieppe that the ex-
treme left of the allies. after max
ing an encircIfng movement. by way
of Roye and Ha mand Joining force
from the Boulogne district have COM
PEELED General Won Kluck to surren-
der with, according to the one state
ment, with $4,000, and according to
another statement, with $4,000 men
and quantity of guns and war ma
terial.
The occupation of Rheims by the
allied troops was announced by the
official press bureau this afternoon.
The allied troops have occupied
Rheims.
n
Six hundred prisoners and II
guns were captured yesterday by the
corps on the right of the British.
AS has been the case since the COM
mence of the battle of the Marne over
a week ago, the final outcome OF the
mighty struggle seems to depend on
the army of the Crown Prince Fred
eric in the German center, the head
quarters of which has retired to
Mont Faucon.
AS this town is fifteen miles TO the
west of Verdun the Crown Princes
move seems to imply the approach
ing relief of that French fortress,
which his army has been besieging
for week past. However. no news
of the actual situation there has yet
come through, nor is official confirm
alton of the reported fall of the for
titled position of Maubeuge forth
coming from French sources.

London, Sept. 15.-A statement
given out by the official press bu-
reau this afternoon says:
"The enemy is still occupying a
strong position to the north of the
Aizne and fighting is going on along
the whole line.
THE crown princes army has
been driven further back and is now
on the line of the Varnnes, Consen-
voye and Ornes."
A despatch from the German gen.
eral staff on the battle Of Marne, re-
ceived in London today, snftered at
the hands of the censors. ID its trun-
Gated form the only claim made for
the German arms is that .of having
successfully defeated the French en-
deavors to break through the Ger
man lines.

less the report from Deippe alleg-
ing that General Won Kluck's army
on the German right had been forced
to surrender, turns out to be correct
Up to the present there has been
no confirmation of the story.
In any case from the estimate CIV
en- of the numbers of the troops sur
rendered, which according to one re-
port was IA 900 and according to an
other 25, 900, it would be a misnomer
to call it surrender of General Won
Kluck's army, which must total in
the neighborhood of 100000.
That Won kluck's position Is dit
ficult one seems to be unquestion
able If, as reported, the German line
is swinging its extreme right back to
the Meuse in the vicinity of Mezieres
Vervines, st. Quentin and Heron.

shown masterful skill and he has
been forced to sacrifice part of his
army to an offensive stroke of the

EXHIBIT
WEEK

The work OF preparation for the
agricultural and horticultural exhi-
bition to be held in Trinidad Sep
tember 90 to 25 inclusive. has be-
gun in earnest, and every effort is
being made by the Chamber of Com
merce to push it to successful con-
clusion. The exhibits will probably
be shown in the recently vacated mil
linery shop on East Main street and
the room used lately as Republican
headquarters. Besides the regular
exhibits, a great variety of added
attractions and novelties have been
secured, and the exhibition bids fair
to become the most interesting and
attractive every held in Las Animas
county.
The purpose of the exhibition, pri-
marily, is to show what the county
really is as producer of wealth
from the soil. Since this year has
been one of bumper crops, and be-
cause of the fact that the showing
of the farmers this year has never
been equalled before, this exhibition
will mean more to the county and to
Trinidad of any which have been
held heretofore. For this reason 1t
should be we'll attended, and to this
end the Chamber of Commerce is de-
voting all it's energies. 1t has sue
ceeded in bringing the Altman Bros.
Carnival to town for the four days
of the exhibit, and they have prom
ised to give a number of free attrac-
tions. These will be interesting and
amusing, and promise some very ex.
citing events. These. along with
several other features of more than
general interest, will undoubtedly &c

hibition a pleasurable as well as In
