French VILLAGE IS
DESTROYED BY FIRE

Paris, Aug. 2e.-According to infor-
nation which has reached Paris, the
little village of Etain, near Longwy.
France, has been subjected to two bonn
bardments by the Germans, one on
Monday of this week, the other Tues
day.
The second bombardment set the
town on fire, and many people are said
to have persisted in the flames. The
telephone service of Etain was left in
the hands of girl who stuck to her
post while shells were bursting all
around the telephone office and called
up Verdun every 10 minutes to give
an account of what was going on.
The director of posts at Verdun was
listening to a message being sent by
this girl when suddenly she interrupted
her Communication to say:
"A bomb has just fallen in this
office"
This ended the conversation.

HEAVY LOSS RESULT
OF A GERMAN RUSE

London, Aug. ga private letter re-
ceived here from a British officer at
the front tells how British cavalry
regiment suffered severe loss through
a ruse OF the enemy.
The regiment, 1t seems, sighted a
German battery not far off firing in a
reverse direction an dthe British off,
Ger decided that the battery was un-
aware of their presence, whereupon he
ordered cavalry charge down into the
valley which lay between them and
the battery.
Unfortunately the bottom of the val
ley had been cleverly studded with con-
cealed barb wire into which a great
portion of the regiment rushed before
the front rank could give warning. I'm
mediately the German battery turned
its guns around, inflicting heavy loss.

GERMANS DEFEND
DESTRUCTION OF
TOWN OF LOUVA|N
Protest Is Entered Against
the News Spread by Enc
mics About the Cruelty of
German Warfare.

Washington, Aug. ga defense of
the German destruction of the historic
Belgian town of Louvain, was con-
tanned in wireless dispatch from the
Berlin foreign Office to the German
embassy here today. The message
says:
I'm consequence OF a sudden attack
OF Belgium troops from Antwerp, the
German garrison at Louvain went out
to meet the enemy, leaving only one
battalion of the last reserves and an
army service corps.
Thinking this was a retreat OF the
German troops, priests of Louvain gave
the people ammunition and civilians
began to shoot at unsuspecting German
troops from windows in different parts
of the town and wounded many A
fight lasting "a hours took place be-
tween the German soldiers and the
people of the town. Parts of the city
are burning and civilians met carrying
arms are killed.
Protest Is Entered.
"a manifesto of the chief of the gen.
eral staff speaks of bestial cruelty on
the wounded and makes the civil au-
thorities of the town responsible for the
provocation and for providing people
with arms.
The leaders of the German army"
the dispatch continues, protest against
news spread by enemies about the
cruelty of German warfare. German
troops sometimes had to take severe
measures when provoked by the people
making treacherous attacks upon them
or committing atrocities against the
wounded. The responsibility for this
method of warfare falls entirely upon
the civil authorities of occupied terri
tory who give terms to civilians and stir
them up to take part in the war. The
German troops never harmed people or
private property without cause. The
German soldier is no incendiary or pill
lager, but fights only against the army
of the enemy. The news published in
foreign papers about German soldiers
prosecuting non combatants are mean
lies showing lack of morality on the
part of the author"

nation bureau in statement regard
