GERMANY SAYS She
IS BEING ABUSED
HER SUCCESSES ARE BELITTLED
AND HER PEOPLE TREAT
ED BADLY

New York, Aug. 26.-The official
press bureau of the German navy de
partment today issued through Cap
tain Boyd, naval attache to the Ger
man embassy, who is now in New
York, statement accusing England
with having made before the war a
binding agreement with France as
well -as Riissia, although this her
ministers had repeatedly and vehem-
emily denied"
In declaring that Germany is fight
,ng for civilization against the bar
barism of Russia the statement
says:
THE Russian-Poles greeted our
troops wherever they came with open
enthusiasm and furnished them vol
unfairly with the best they could af-
ford. In Poland, i'm Finland, in the
Caucasus, and in the Ukraine, revo-
1utions have been started.
"All the Austrian peoples, espec-
iany the Poles and the Slavic Checs,
said i'm enthusiastic demonstrations
that they are resolved to take ven
geance for the cruel murder of the
archduke.
I'm France and Belgium German
citizens were treated in the meanest
and almost incredible manner They
we're driven out of Paris and Antwerp
and in many cases their money and
railroad tickets were taken away.
They were left without the slightest
protection to the mercies of the mob,
In Belgium excesses against Ger
man citizens have taken place which
should be expected only from savages.
Every store owned by German has
been wrecked. Practically all Ger
mans were robbed of their belongings.
Many who tried to escape were slaugh-
tered and their clothes torn from their
bodies. German women have been
Stripped, dragged through the streets
by the hair and shamelessly abused.
Our successes have so far been
grossly belittled or not reported at all
Liege was completely in our posses
sion about the sixth day of mobiliza-
tion. This is a success that has no
equal in the history of the world On
the preceding day an attempt had been
made to surprise the fortress with
weak forces, which was repelled. Out
of this great and important defeat
has been constructed"
