London.-The official press bureau

port OF the Belgian commission ap-
pointed to inquire into alleged German
atrocities at Louvain and in the dis

This report reviews incidents here.

the documents and evidence on which
its conclusions rest. It will be pub.
lished in due course.
The commission finds that on enter

took possession of the cash in all the
Louvain banks, burst open houses and
pillaged and committed other excess.

siderable detail two alleged instances
In which women were outraged by
German soldiers, and asserts that
there have been instances where WON.
en- and children have been stabbed
with bayonets and their legs cut OFF.
One case is cited where a workman.
covered with kerosene, was thrown
into burning house.
OF the burning Of Louvain, the re-
port says:
Everything tends to prove that
German regiments, through mistake,
fired at one another. At once the Ger

all witnesses"
To spread the fire In Louvain the
report charges, Germans entered

WAY MAY BE Open
FOR MEDIATION
GERMANY SEEKS FIRST TO LEARN
TERMS UNDER WHICH ALLIES
WOULD MAKE PEACE.
Imperial Chancellor Suggest That the
United States Get Proposals From
the Powers United In War Against
the Tueton Empire.

Washington.-Germ has suggest
I'd informally that the United States
should undertake to elicit from Great
Britain, France and Russia a state,
ment of the terms under which the
allies would make peace.
The suggestion was made by the
imperial chancellor, Won Bethmann.
Berlin as a result of an inquiry sent
~ the American government to learn
whether Emperor William was desir.
Gus of discussing peace, as Count
Bernstorff, the German ambassador
and Oscar Straus recently had re-
ported.
No reply was made by Emperor
William himself, nor did the imperial
chancellor indicate whether or not he
spoke on behalf of his monarch Am
bessador Gerard cabled President VIII
son the chancelor's remarks from
recollection, which were substantially
as follows:
Germany was appreciative of the
offer of services in trying to make
peace. Germany did not want war, bu:
had 1t forced on her Even II she
defeats France she must likewise
vanquish both Great Britain and Rus.
STA, as all three have made an agree.
ment not to make peace except by
common consent Similarly, England
has announced through Premier As.
quith and her diplomatists and news
papers that she intended to fight to
the limit of her endurance. In view OF
that determination on the part of
Great Britain, the United States ought
to get proposals Of peace from the al.
lies. Germany could accept only o
lasting peace, one that would make her
people secure against future attacks.
To accept mediation now would be
interpreted by the allies as a sign of
weakness on the part of Germany and
would be misunderstood by the Ger.
man people, who, having made great
sacrifices. had the right to demand
guarantees Of security"
The above Is all that Ambassador
Gerard communicated as to his con.
versation. He added only the briei
comment that he himself thought the

Germans Occupy Favorable Country

Putting up Bitter Fight Against
Allied Forces.

French and English forces are bat
thing desperately to drive the German
invaders from French soil. and from
the most reliable sources comes the
news that desperate battle, even
more fierce than the battle of Marine,
is in progress, and has been for a
week past
While no direct reports have been
received from the battle front In
northern France. It is apparent from
the meager official statements that the
allied forces and the German armies
are again drawn up for great bat
tie, whlch. in the opinion OF military
observers, may last several days.
The Germans occupy favorable coun.
try and are well entrenched. The al.
lies, az well as the Germans, are re-
ceiving achievements and both Brit
fish and French are using their utmost
endeavors to improve the advantage
they gained during the retirement of
the Germans beyond the river Aisne
and into the hills north OF Rheims.
The official statement issued at
Paris merely announces that there has
been no change in the situation. An
earlier official statement showed that
the Germans were offering strong re

KITCHENER EXPECTS LONG WAR
British Expeditionary Force on Con

Misunderstanding in the house OF
lords on Thursday, Field Marshal
Earl Kitchener revealed the strength
of the British expeditionary force In
France and described what he be
lieved must be done to assure a sue
cessful issue of the conflict. A steady
flow of reinforcements was required
he said.
There are already In France" he
said, more than six divisions OF
British troops and two divisions OF
cavalry, which are being maintained
at their full strength"
Further regular divisions and add
tional cavalry were being organized
from units drawn from overseas gar
risons which were now being occupied
by territorials and volunteers. A di
vision of terrtoriais already had lef,
for Egypt, a brigade had gone to
Malta, and a garrison force to Gil

The further presence of the troops n
deemed unnecessary"

of General Carranza, first chief Of tue
constitutionalist army, who is in
charge of the executive power in Mex,
leo City. Through Paul Fuller, per.
sonal representative of President VII.
son in Mexico, General Carranza set
forth that the presence of America
troops instead of being Safeguard
against further revolution and peace
with the United States constituted a
constant menace to friendly relations
The Mexican chief contended-and h,
was supported by Generals Villa and
Obregon-that the Mexican peopls
