SAYS HE PUTS NO
FAITH IN TALES OF
GERMAN CRUELTY
Correspondent Declares He
Rather Is inclined to Be-
Iieve Belgian Atrocities.
By the .A.soclaled rres..

LONDON. Aug. S1.-Arno Bosch, a
correspondent of the magazine
Worlds Work. who went into Bel
GUM some days ago, arrived in Lon
don today from Brussels. which city
he left last Thursday. He said to-
day that John T. McCutcheon, OF Chi
cago: Irwin Cobb. of New York and
Mr.. Hanson. of the Chicago News
were safe in Brussels when he left.
Referring to the military situation IN
Belgium, Mr.. Bosch said:
THE German auto trucks are a
marvel Equipped with scythes. they
NOV right through hedges and wire
fences If the roads do not suit the
drivers. These trucks are heavily
armored and are able to resist any
thing except artillery fire. They ena-
BILE the German forces to make forty
miles a day. The number of these
trucks seems unlimited.
1T Is estimated that 100000 German
troops have made their way through
Brussels, and that 100000 moved
south of Brussels. The troops which
passed through Brussels we're later
enga ged with the British forces. Only
small detachment of Germans was
left in the Belgian capital.
81 have no personal knowledge of
the German atrocity reported from
Belgium, and [ am inclined TO dis
credit most Of these stories. The
Germans also tell many stories OF
Belgian atrocities, most OF which |
believe. In some cases Belgian boys
and old men undoubtedly fired on
German soldiers from inside of build
ings. This was the case in Brussels
and elsewhere. and the men in build
ings from which shots were fired
were in some cases executed l know
of no women or children being killed
because of their having been found
in buildings from which shots had
been fired.
From what I have heard believe
the Germans have wedged into the
allies. and that they are not keeping
straight front to the enemy. The
line of fighting from Namur south has
been a zigzag, and nothing like what
many strategists have guessed.
"Louvain is a pitiful ruin. | came
through that city on my way out
from Belgium and saw the smoking
ruins. Only the big cathedral was
visible above the smoke, and that
may have gone later. | was unable
to go to that section of Louvain where
the American colleges maintained by
American bishops are located, but |
heard they had displayed the Ameri-
can flag and had been spared
"I had no opportunity to learn of
the events which preceded the de-
struction of Louyain. The loss of this
city is universally mourned in Bel
eiurn -

RAB|D HORSE
KILLS HIMSELF
Animal, Thought to Be Victim

Brains.

A horse owned by the Marrone Con-
tracing Company and suspected of
having been bitten by a rabid dog
recently, died at the Adams street
stables of the concern Saturday night.
from what, to all outward appear
ances. was rabies.
The animal began to act in queer
manner Saturday afternoon. He
would nip and gnaw at his breast
and shoulders as if DESTROYS of rid
ding himself of some intense itching
or painful sensation. The stablemen
became alarmed at the conduct of the
horse and concluded to muzzle him,
which they succeeded in doing with
out injury to themselves. They then
led him to a post in the stable yard
and hitched him to it.
Dr. James T. Glennon, the veterina-
rian, was sent for. The doctor looked
at the animal, which was standing
quietly and as docile as could be
wished at this time. To the Doctors
inquiry as to what appeared to be
the trouble with the animal was:
He's crazy. doctor, sure crazy"
An examination speedily convinced
the veterinarian that If the horse
was HOl dllilClcu With IL was
the next thing to it. Fresh scars
made by the animals own teeth were
on breast and shoulders and the
decorations were bleeding.
The doctor directed that the horse
be removed to a box stall and secure
ly battered.
Don't let that fine getleman get
loose on the street." said he. If you
do, goodness only knows what might
happen"
Whats the matter with him, doc
tori" asked a stableman.
II agree with you, he's crazy, all
right" replied the veterinarian. TT
may not be a case of rabies, but he is
in a bad way"
The horse was placed In the box
stall as ordered and remained quiet
for some time. Late at night, how
ever, he became violent and in his
paroxysms battered his head so long
and continuously on the stone floor
| death ensued.
Frobells "schinder" wagon was
pressed into service and the animal
carted away, DR.. Glennon requesting
that the brains be sent to the City
Hospital laboratory for analysis.

SUBMIT TO j. S.
CENSORSHIP OF
WIRELESS CODE
Germany and Great Britain
Agree on Messages to
BelIigerents.
Bx the A.soclated Pre.s.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Both
Germany and Great Britain have ac-
cepted the proposal of the United
States that the wireless stations at
Tuckerton, N. J., and Sayville, L. l.,
be permitted to send code messages
to belligerent countries subject to
censorship by American naval Off
GERS
Although the subject is still mat
ter of discussion in diplomatic chan
nels, the agreement of Great Britain
and Germany on this part of the plan
is expected to enable the American
government to overcome other tech
nical difficulties involved, and a for
NAL announcement of the govern
ment's decision is now believed to be
possible in few days.
The Tuckerton station has been
closed because it had no license from
the department of commerce, but it
is understood that arrangements are
under way for its renewed operation.
Both the Sayville and Tuckerton sta
items will have to satisfy the Ameri-
can government that they are not
directly or indirectly owned by the
German government, and it is con-
sdered probable that Great Britain
may object TO the handling of mes
sages at the American end of the
wireless stations by subjects of any
belligerent nation.

George Boyer. taxicab driver, is go
ing to be more particular hereafter
His lack OF exclusiveness late Sun
day night got him into trouble with
a policeman who has a great sense
of humor Already he has new no
tons of the best way to get along
taxi-ca bling around the Pennsylva-
MIA station. and they are different
from the way he used to look at
things.
Tomorrow Boyer must go to the
Third Precinct Court for his lack of
care in selecting patrons. and going
to court is a great setback for taxi
cabber. no matter how he comes out
with the judge.
But going TO court is the least part
of what bothers Boyer 1t is what he
has got. to go there for which eats
into his sensibilities and makes him
promise himself that hereafter
things will go differently. If he only
was brought in for speeding or some-
thing which would not reflect on his
wiseness he would be satisfied, but no
such luck.
