CIVILIANS OF LOUVAIN
ARMED By PRIESTS
This Brought About Measures De
ROuneed BY Allies :. Atrocities.
Says German General.
EMBASSY RECEIVES WIRELESS

The German oficial side Of the story
OF the recent alleged atrocities at Lou
voin. Belgium. which have. been the oc-
caslon for an eloquent protest from the
Belgian ministry to all neutral powers.
was given as follows in wireless dis
patch TO the German Embassy via Say
Vile, Long Island, yesterday:
TN consequence Of a sudden attack of
Belgian troops from Antwerp the Ger
man garrison at Louvain was Withdrawn
and went to meet the enemy leaving
only one battalion OF last reserves and
the army service corps behind them.
Thinking this the retreat of the Ger
man forces, the priests of Louvatn gave
arms and ammunition to the populace
for use against the German troops. The
German garrison had no suspicion Of
this. when out OF windows and door
ways in various quarters Of the city,
came shots in q perfect fusillade. Many
Germans were wounded. This street
fighting lasted for twenty-four hours
between the German soldiery and the
Louvain citizens, Meanwhile parts OF
with arms were considered as mani
testify guilty Of infringement OF the rules
OF war and were shot r- o..
The chief OF the general stan relates
that bestial cruelties were inflicted upon
wounded German soldiers and held the
city authorities responsible for these
atrocities as well as for the provoking
Of the citizens to the attack and for
placing arms in the hands Of noncom-
batants
The Germany army protests against
the spreading Of news by Germanys
enemies relative to the cruelties OF war
as alleged to be practiced by the Ger
man forces. The German troops have
been compelled to take several measures
sometimes especially when provoked by
the populace making treacherous attacks
on them and in bestial atrocities against
our wounded. Responsibility for recourse
to the rules Of warfare as applying to
noncombatants engaging in the war falls
entirely upon the authorities Of occupied
territory who gave arms to civilians and
aroused them to this Illegal activity.
German troops never did resort to the
killed OF noncombatants or any other
indecent subversion Of the rules of war
fare. The German soldier is neither an
incendiary nor does he, in making war,
visit cruelty upon the populace Of the
enemy country. The accounts OF this and
similar alleged incidents of Germany's
nonobservance OF the rules OF war. ap-
pearing in the press OF the nations at
war with Germany must be designated
as mean lies"

Women, Children, Aged and In6rm.
Victims of German Cruel6es.
- Says Belgian Minister.
ALL EXPOSED TO ELEMENTS

Minister E. Bavenith. the Belgian en-
voy, Is gravely disturbed over. the pos
sible results OF the destruction by Ger
many's army visited upon the city Of
Louvain- He declared today that the
cruelty to the women and children, the
aged and infirm driven out of the town
by the Smelling, and the confiagration
which followed the street fighting, fur
nishes the cruelest episode in the his
tory Of modern warfare. He said today:
The most hideous cruelty of all the
outrage upon the peaceful city of Lou
vain, transcending the destruction Of
beautiful buildings and the residences and
the killing Of full grown men who were
noncombatants, is the terrible VisitStion
upon the women and little children. :
The city has been destroyed and
the poor populace driven into the open
country. 1t cannot but result in hun
dreds Of deaths from exposure to the
very young and to the infirm. / think
that this action by the German forces
will prove a shock to the civilized
world. It is visitation wholly unde-
served and unwarranted. It is only
part, however, of the general perfidy
Of Germany in her dealings with the
peaceful and hitherto friendly state
of Belgium. Germany was bound to
preserve the integrity OF Belgium.

treaty a century old, from the first
day OF hostilities to the present time

New York, Aug. 2o.-The placid life of
ocean travel usually enjoyed by tourists
was lacking on the White Star liner
Adriatic which arrived today from Liver
pool with 1.7SS passengers on board, most
Of them American refugees from the
European war zone.
MuEzles OF guns protruded both fore
and aft, as the big liner had been armed
before she left Liverpool on August 20
for self-protection IN case she came upon
privateers.
Among the passengers upon the Adri-
attic were Alfred G. Vanderbilt. Mr.. and
Mrs. J. Borden Hartman, Of New York ;
Sir Courtney Bennett, British consul az
New York: G. A. Armour. of Chicago.
and Rev. Henry Gabriels, Bishop of
Ogdensburg, y. Y.
Last Wednesday night. while the liner
was bowling along. she was suddenly
flooded with the rays Of a searChlight.
There was a hurried rush of the crew
to man the four 6-inch guns and Capt.
Hayes ordered full speed ahead. For
fully five minutes the liner was bathed in
the tense light while the passengers
scurried to the bottom of the vessel.
Finally the intruder made herself known
as the British cruiser Essex and an eX-
change Of friendly greetings followed.
The Adriatic will have to leave this
port within twenty-four hours, for now
