Third Section of Report on
Alleged Cruelties.

London. Sept 21.-The third section
OF the report OF the Belgian commits
sion appointed to inquire into alleged
breaches of international law by the
Germans has been received in London.
It supplements previous reports which
were given out by the official informa-
ton bureau here Aug. &c and Sept 16.
Todays report refutes the German
suggestion that the inhabitants Of
Louvain brought on the destruction of
the town by firing on the Germans. 1t
follows in part:
THE inhabitants of Louvain took no
part in the fighting Moreover, the de-
struction of the town came IL days
after last Belgian troops had evacuat-
ed the district. Witnesses declare that
the first shots were fired by intoxicat-
ed German soldiers at their own Of
ficers. Another fact established fol-
lows:
"a crowd Of 5000 to 5000 men, wom-
en- and children were taken by the
One Hundred and Sixty-second Regi-
ment OF German Infantry, Aug 26. to
the Louvain riding school. where they
spent the night The place OF confine-
ment was so small that all had to re-
main standing. The sufferings were so
great that several children died in
their mothers arms and a number of
women lost their reason.
"a large number Of places in the tri-
angle formed by Vilvorde, Malines and
Louvain, has been given over to plum
der and partly destroyed by fire, the
population dispersed and inhabitants
indiscriminately arrested and shot
without trial, the reason being to in
spire terror and compel migration.
an all these villages women who
were unable to escape were exposed
to the brutal instincts of the German
soldiers. We are convinced that an in
ternational inquiry like that conducted
in the Balkans by the Carnegie COM
mission would establish the truth OF
our assertions"

Case is Compromised-The damage
case filed in district court by John E.
Geary, 412 East Seventh street, against
Stephen Mayfeld, an alleged profess

according to notice of dismissal filed.
Geary sought damages of sos for an
assault said to have been made on
him by the defendant Aug. 6. The
plaintiff chased Mayfield for several
blocks when the latter stole his peck
etbook while on a Northwest Daven
port car, the petition stated, and on
overtaking the man at Third and Har-
rison street, desperate battle en-
sued. Geary alleged that he ordered
MayffeId to accompany him to the po-
lice station. The defendant refused
and hit his pursuer several times, also
knocking him down. MayfeId then
kicked him, it was claimed. Geary
managed to retain his hold on May
field, however, until the police arrived.
The former declared in his petition
that he has been unable to work since
the affair.

History of Towns
In War Territory

Washington, Sept. 21.-Following is
a primer of today's war geography:
Radom-One OF the best built provin-
cial towns OF Russian Poland, 90 miles
south Of Warsaw. at a point half way
between that city and the Austrian
frontier. Its population is about $4,000
and Il has iron and agricultural ma
chine works and tanneries. II occupies
the site &C what was old Radon in
1916, new Radon being founded In
1870 by Casimir the Great. king OF
Poland. Here Jadwiga was elected
queen OF Poland in 1852. Several great
fires and especially the Swedish war OF
I-OI-O1 were the ruin OF the old city.
II was annexed TO Russia in 1915.
Aaram (Zasrab)-The capital OF
Croatia-Slavonia, Hungary, on tho
River sac, 1s7 miles by rail south OF
Vienna 1t had a population of 10000
in 1910. Tobacco. linen, carpets.
leather and war material are manufac-
tured IN Agram and a brisk trade is
carried on IN grain, wines. potash,
honey, silk and porcelain. The city is
divided into three sections. two of
them, the KapitelStadt and the Upper
Town, having been bitter rivals for
centuries. until the aggressions OF the
Turks forced them to combine for mu-
tuaI protection. Earthquakes did con-
siderable damage to the town in 1880
and 1901.
Temesvsr-A Hungarian city on the
River Bega, 1SS miles southeast OF
Budapest by rail and 6S miles from the
Servian border, consisting of an inner
town. formerly strongly fortified, and
four suburbs. In 1910 It had 72,555 in
habitants. The most important center
OF commerce and industry in south
Hungary. The city trades in rain,
flour, spirits and horses and manufac-
lures tobacco, cloth, matches, leather,
beer and spirits. In 1914 the peasant
leader. Stephen Dozsa, was defeated by
the Transylvanian. John Zapolya. near
here, captured and executed. The town
was captured after a heroic struggle
by the Turks IN 1853 and remained in
their hands until 1716. when It was lib
Grated by Prince Eugene of Savoy. It
successfully resisted the attacks of a
Hungarian revolutionary army in 1S49.

al that our guns have not been strong
enough to cope with it.
For this reason, and this reason
alone, they have been able to with
stand our attacks. Happily, the French
have now brought up their heaviest
guns and are about to open a fresh
bombardment. The one advantage the
enemy possessed he must presently
lose.
Victory is not yet, but We await the
morrow. with great hope and conf
dence."
