Numerous stories OF German atrocities
are pouring into this country with every
boat load of refugees Mrs. E. Frederick
Oates, 1929 SAMSON street. president of
the Philadelphia Chapter of the Daugh-
ters OF the Confederacy, arrived in Phil
adelphia yesterday from the war zone
and brought with her more stories OF
outrages attributed to the Germans. Ac-
cording to her, German soldiers shot and
killed a helpless and unarmed old man
as ne came out of a house in which he
had been trying to protect an American
woman and her sick child. Regarding
this incident Mrs. Oates said Though l
was not an eyewitness to the act, I have
the utmost confidence in the veracity of
my informants. The old gentleman was
a Scotchman and was in a small town
in Belgium. The Germans heard that
some English had taken refuge in the
house and fired upon it. The American
ran into the street and shouted to the
soldiers, Surely you would not shoot a
helpless woman and children At this
moment the old man appeared in the
doorway to protest. He was shot dead.
The woman whom he had been aiding
rushed to the soldiers saying, He has
been my saviour and is an old man. Do
not shoot him But her words were
hardly out of her mouth when the man
fell to the ground.
"1t is a matter of common report
abroad" she continued, that German
soldiers shot and killed a poor little tot
in Belgium who raised toy gun towards
them as they entered the village where
he lived. This act could hardly be justi-
fed by saying that the citizens had taken
up arms against the invaders"
The reports of the hands of the wound
ed Allies being cut Off by the Germans
are too numerous to relate. These
atrocities are said to have been confirmed
beyond a reasonable doubt"
