Inthe Invasion Of That Country,
Says Belgian Minister, and
Act Like Savages.
CHILDREN ARE VICTIMS.

LONDON, Aug. %. The

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The
following announcement was
given out today by the off
cial information bureau:
s The Belgian minister in
London has made the follow
{ ing statement:
8 In spite of solemn assur-
ances of good will and treaty
obligations Of long standing,
Germany has made a savage
and utterly unwarranted at
tack on Belgium. However,
sore pressed we may be, Bel
gium will never fight unfair
ly. She never will stoop to
infringe the laws and Gus
toms of legitimate warfare.
She is putting up a brave
fight against overwhelming
odds. She may be beaten,
she may be crushed but to
quote fireworks of our noble
king, she never will be en-
shaved.
when German troops in
vaded our country, the Bel
gian government issued a
public statement which was
placarded in every town,
village and hamlet warning
all civilians to abstain from
hostile acts against the
] troops of the enemy and the
Belgian press has daily pub
lished similar notices broad
cast through the land.
Nevertheless the German
authorities have issued
statements lately containing
grave imputations against
the attitude of the Belgian
civil population and threat
ening US at the same time
with dire repriSal. These
imputations are contrary tc
the real facts and as to
threats of future vengeance,
no menace of odious repris,
ais on the part of German
troops will deter the Belgian
government from protesting
before the civilized world
against the fearful and afro.
