REPUTATION OF ALLEGED
 GERMAN ATROCITIES.
American Newspaper Men Fail to Sub stantiate Wanton Deeds Attributed to Teutons,

New York, Sept. 6.-The Associated press has received by wireless from Berlin a message which follows:
 It was sent from A1x-les-Chape.ie to Berlin for transmission. The authors, all of whom are well known American newspaper men, were originally as signed to Brussels, and when that city was taken they were returned to AlA- Ies-Chappelle, from which city they have been endeavoring to reach Lon don. but without success. The Tn teae- gram was partly mutilated by inter ference and certain words are missing, but the text here given is clearly that intended by the authors.
 Prisoners Not III Treated.
 s'In spirit we unite in rendering (sic) German atrocities groundless as far as we are able to. After spending two weeks with and acconp panying the troops upward of 100 miles, we are unable to report a single instance un- provoked. We are also unable to con- firm rumors of mistreatment of rris- oners or of non-combatants with the German columns. This is true of Lou vain, Brussels, Luneville and Nantes. while in Prussian hands. We visited Chateau Soldre, Sanbre and Beaumont without suhstantiating a single wan ton brutality. Numerous investigated rumors proved groundless. Every where we have seen Germans paylng for purchases and respecting property nights, as we'll as according civilians every consideration.
 No Direct Evidence.
 After the battle of Biass. a suburb of Namur, we found Belgian women and children moving comfortably about. The day after the Germans had captured the town in Merbes Chateau we found one citizen killed, but were unable to confirm lack of provocation Refugees with stories of atrocities were unable to supply direct evidence. Bel gians in the Sambre valley discounted reports of cruelty in the surrounding countries. The discipline of the Ger man soldiers is excellent as we ob- served. To the truth of these state nsents we pledge cur professional and personal word"
