A graphic story of the burning of
the village of Boncelles by Belgian SOL
diers because it would interfere with
the fire from the Liege forts, and how
even the inhabitants aided in burning
their own homes, is told in letter re-
ceived in Wales by the brother of a
Belgian soldier.

the Belgian soldier wrote. "One hun
dred and thirty houses and the church
Of Boncelles formed one big blaze in
the middle of the night, and the poor
inhabitants helped the soldiers to de-
stroy their own little homes and all
their contents.

inhabitants of Boncelles were abruptly

the message that the houses had to be
burned to allow the fort to operate it's

officers were speaking sappers were al

petrol.
Pitiful Scenes.
1.-The inhabitants about the forts
were Informed that in time of war the
necessity might arise for the authori.

case they had not been warned during
the afternoon, and most of them had
gone to rest when the knock on their
doors came to tell them of their fate.

"All l remember is women in tears
and children praying. Some Of them
implored the soldiers TO let them at
least take their furniture away and
threw themselves ut the officers feet
But they were gently raised by the arm
and led outside in the dark.

bundles of wood under the staircases.

THE fire had to be set to the church
where only two hours ago peasants
whispered their prayers in solitude.

Washington, July 9.-That the
Washington government would give
within "a few days some mdniicsta-
ton OF the policy Il Intends To pur-
sue to meet any new development In

expressed today In many quarters.

comment on reports partially con-
tirmed In Washington 10 the effect
that the revolutionary leaders would
not agree 10 a parley.
PROBABLY the definite expression of
its plans for the future will not be
made by the American government
until the proposition Of the confer
ence Is settled and specific informa-
ton on the extent OF the Villa-Car-
rama agreement Is reached. The
status OF mediation proceedings and
disposition OF the American troops at
Vera Cruz are two Of the pressing
features hanging on the ultimate at
titude Of the constitutionalists toward
the proposed peace meeting.

tiunalists among whom Carralza is
taking a vote. strongly were opposed

said They want 90 follow out the
"plan OF Guadalupe" their present
