was attached the name OF the citizen
to be armed.
"A spontaneous rising OF the people
has been recognized at the request
of the smaller states at The Hagus
conference, as being within the law
Of nations. as far as weapons are car
ried openly and the laws OF civilized
warfare are being observed; but such
rising was only admitted In order to
fight the attacking enemy.
I'm the case OF L0ewen, the town
had already surrendered and the
population renowned, without any re-
sistance, the town being occupied by
our troops. Nevertheless. the popu
lation attacked on. all sides and with
a murderous fire the occupying forces
and newly arriving troops, which
came In trains and automobiles con
sidering the hitherto peaceful attitude
of the population.
Therefore, there can be no ques-
ticn OF means OF defense allowed by
the law of nations, neither Of q war
like guet-apens (ambush) but only OF
a treacherous attempt of the civil
population all along the line, and all
the more to be condemned as II was
apparently planned long beforehand
with simultaneous attack from Ant
werp. as arms were not carried op-
emily. as women and young girls took
part I'm the fight and blinded our
wounded, sticking their eyes out.
The barbarous attitude OF the Bel
gian population In all parts occupied
bv our trOops has not only justified
our severest measures, but forced
them on us for the sake OF self-pre-
seryation. The intensity Of the re-
sistance OF the population is shown
by the fact that In Loewen "a hours
were necessary to break down their
attack. We ourselves. regret deeply
that during these fights the town OF
Loewen has been DESTROYED to great
extent Needless to say that these
consequences are not Intentional on
our part, but cannot be avoided In
this Infamous frantireur war being
led against us.
whoever knows the good-natured
character Of our troops cannot SER
iously pretend that they are inclined
to needless or frivolous destruction.
"The entire responsibility for these
events rests with the Belgian govern
ment, who with criminal frivolity
have given to the Belgian people In
structions contrary to the law of ma
tons and melted their resistance. and
who. In spite Of our repeated warn.
ings. even after the fall OF Luettich

THE city OF Louvain was sacrificed
to sustai ma falsehood. AS long as the

the inhabitants of Belgium were

Of Concord and Lexington, would con-
