London, Aug. 31.-Arno Dosch, cor
respondent Of the magazine, Worlds
Work who went into Belgium some
weeks ago arrived in London today
from Brussels which city he left last
Thursday. He said today that John T.

"The German autotrucks are mar.
vel Equipped with scythes they NOV
right through hedges and wire fences
II the roads do not suit the drivers.
These trucks are heavily armored and
they are able to resist anything except
artillery fire. They enable the Ger
man forces to make 40 miles day.
The number Of these trucks seemed
unlimited"
1T is estimated that 100000 Ger

passed through Brussels were later
engaged with the British forces. Only
small detachment OF Germans was
left in the Belgian capital.
Il have no personal knowledge OF
the horrible German atrocities report
ed from Belgium" Mr.. Dosch continu-
ed land l am inclined to discredlt
most OF these stories. The Germans
also tell many stories OF Belgian
atrocities most Of which l believe. In
some cases Belgian boys and old men
undoubtedly fred on German soldiers
from inside the buildings. This was
the case in Brussels and elsewhere and
the men in the building from which
shots were fired were In some cases
executed. know OF no woman or
child being killed on account Of their
having been found In buildings from
which shots had been fired.
From what have heard believe
the Germans have wedged into the al
lies and that they are not keeping g.
straight front to the enemy. The line
Of fighting from Namur south has been
zigzag and nothing like what many
strategists have guessed.
"Louvain Is a pitiful ruin. ! came

ing when the why and wherefore of
many happenings in Mexico are taken
into consideration
1t began Christmas evening, in the
port of Guaymas, where the Tampico
had entered the harbor to give her
crew an opportunity to celebrate. THE
officers gave ball. The highest So
ciety folks in Guaymas went out onto
the gunboat. The champagne and the
hours had a race to see which would
fly most rapidly 1t was neck and

which time the society girls and ma

ness seeking their women folks, ant
calling their names. Pandemonium
not only reigned; it hailed There
were twenty minutes of this imitation
of a mad house. Then the lights went
on again, and the society folks of
Guaymas, maidens, matrons and men
went ashore in various stages of ire
and excitement.
Bright and early Christmas morning
scores of kilograms were sent to
Huerta by indignant Mexican men of
Guaymas. To the credit of several of
the officers of the Tampico they left
the ship in indignation The details
of what happened during the dark
twenty minutes on the Tampico have
not been told for the simple reason
that none of the officers of the Tampi-
20 would come to Mexico City to tes-
,ify against their brother officers on
he warship.
