FIRST INAUGURATION
 TO BE CELEBRATED
Memorial Blocks Will Be Placed in
 Bic Monument
Special to The Republican,

Especial to The Republican,
 WASHINGTON, March 29.-NeXt month, on the occasion of the 135th anniversary of the inauguration of George Washington as first president of the United States, interesting eX- ercises will be held nere to mark the event The most notable feature of the program will be the formal dedication of the memorial blocks provided by the states of Colorado, Idaho and Washington for the Wash ington monument. The placing of these blocks in the monument will leave but three states that are not thus represented by memorial stones.
 The dedication exercises will be conducted under tthe auspices of the Washington National Monument So- clety. This society dates back to 1883, in which year it was organized to erect in the federal capital ] monument. national in character, to the memory of Washington. John Marshall. the great chief justice, was the first president of the society. On the death of Justice Marshall, former President James Madison was elected president. On the death of MT. Mad ison it was provided that the presi- dent of the United States should be ex-officio president, and such has been the case ever since.
 February 22, 1859, the society was chartered by congress after having as a voluntary association, raised bN popular subscription the money to lay the foundation of the monument and to carry the shaft to 156 feet in height. During the period of the civil war and reconstruction days the society continued its efforts to raise funds tC continue the work and to complete the shaft, but the condition of the times and country Were not such as to give encouraging results. It was not until many years later that the shaft was finally completed through the aid of congress.
 Many years ago the society issued an invitation to the various states, to the leading cities and to lodges ttIlu ollit1 oi lO tOllll memorial stones to the monument The responses were numerous, as is evidenced by the many carved stones that adorn the interior of the shaft For the most part the blocks con- tributed by the states and cities bear their respective coats of arms.
 Foreign countries also were asked to send memorial blocks for the monument and many of them re- sponded. In this connection there is frequently told the story of the me morial block sent by the papal states at that time an independent sove- reignty. The block arrived in the United States at time when race and religious prejudice played q prominent part in politics After its

BRITISH POLICE SHOOT BOER. HERO And Now the People of South Africa Are In An Ugly Mood and
 Threaten a Revolt.

JOHANNESBURG, S. A., Sept r. -Mistaking General Jacobus De Lar ey, the Boer war general, for a ban dit, British police shot the general when he was riding down the street of this city and as a result the Dutch inhabitants of the Transvaal are up in arms and threaten an insurrec- tion.
 The British government has order ed an investigation and has express ed to the relatives of the dead gen. eral the profound regret of the gov ernment at the accident.
 While considerable anti-British sem timent has been clearly shown by many of the veterans of the Boer war the government does not anticipate revolution, although they admit that they have been better off under English rule, which gave them all the benefits of self-government, than they were when the Boers had several small states in South Africa

BELGIUM PROTEST TO UNITED
 STATES AGAINST GERMANY

WASHINGTON, Sept 17.-Carton tice and head of the Belgian mis- sion to the United States to protest to President Wilson and the Ameri- can nation against the atrocities to Belgian non-combatants and to the violation of Belgian neutrality by the German troops, was received today by President Wilson. The commis- sion of three high Belgian officials accompanied the minister of justice.
 They pointed out to the president that the German army had killed men, women and children who were not armed or had in any way mo- tested or hindered military opera tions. He further stated: "Our ad- versary, after invading our territory, has decimated the civil population, massacreed women and children, car ried into captivity inoffensive peas- ants, put to death the wounded, de- stroyed undefended towns, and burn ed churches, historical monuments. and the famous library of the Uni versity of Louvain. All these facts had been established by authenticat- ed documents, each of which we shall submit to the government of your majesty.
 Despite all this suffering in Bel gium, which has been made the per sonification of outraged right, the country is resolute in fulfilling to the utmost her duties toward Europe. Whatever may happen, she must de- fend her existence, her honor, and her liberty
 King Albert bade us tell all the world that Belgium is not crushed, and never will be crushed. Such spirit as we heve can never be downed. We will fight on and on, and success finally will crown the efforts of the allies"
 q have a statement" said M. de Wiart, from a reliable man who wis., ited Louvain on Aug. 30, which says that the Germans were still burning buildings that day and scattering straw so that every house standing would be destroyed. Drunken Ger man soldiers were reeling through the streets with bottles of wine, and officers were drinking at tables set in the streets.
 "Louvain looks like a second Pom peii. Only the town hall and the city station are left standing. The cathe- dral and the theater have collapsed, as also has the library, with it's rare old manuscripts. The university, which had 2.500 students, is a total ruin.

The new rev. enues will be raised by taxing bank CTS and brokers transfers, as was done in the Spanish-American war. tobacco is to be taxed heavily and all commercial paper and amusement tickets are to pay towards the gov ernment deficit.
 Gasolene is to be taxed two cents a gallon and beer and wine are ex- pected to pay tax estimated at $65.- O00,000 a year, which is double the tax now imposed by the internal rev enue department.

and Diest and many other unforti fled villages suffered the same fate as Louvain. At Diest mother and her daughter of twelve were shot tc death, young man was bound to 8 tree and burned alive, and two men were buried alive with their heads downward"
 M. de Wiart charged the Germans with theft in the taking oz funds from the National Bank of Louvain an institution in no way connected with the government, and said that the bombardment of Antwerp with our giving twenty-four hours notice was a violation of international law
 "I personally saw" said Emile Van derve,de, Belgian Minister of State who Is a member of the mission the bodies of a father and son, non combatants. cut all to pieces by Ger man bayonet thrusts. This was neal the River Mouse. I have reliable in formation that the Germans held Belgian women and children before them in the same vicinity.
 At Malines the Germans contin ued to storm the town after the in habitants had all gone. trying to ter rorize the entire neighborhood and drive everyone possible into Antwerp so that the food supply would be ex hausted there and the siege shorten ed. Belgian soldiers lying wounded were bayoneted by the Germans at many places. The savasery of the Germans is unbelievable"
 q personally saw the havoc wrought by the bombs thrown into Antwerp M. de Wiart continued, "and I know how barbarous was the attack of the Zeppelin airship. It was not civilized warfare, but barbarism. saw the mangled bodies of women servants in their attic rooms killed by bombs hurled against the roofs."
 President Wilson, in replying, stat ed that he felt honored by the ap- peal of the people of Belgium to the American nation for succor and support, but that 1t would be unwise for a single nation to at this time expres any opinion upon the merits of the disputes in Europe.
 He also told the commissioners that a final day of judgment would come when peace is declared and that all the viola ions of the code of war fare would be paid for in full by the violators.
 President Wilson will send the same reply, in almost the same word ing, to the protest of Kaiser Will helm of Germany. who has protest. ed to the United States. claiming that the French and British are us ing dum-dum bullets. ~

SIR LIONEL GARDEN
 WAS FORGED OUT Carranza Wanted To Give Passports To British Ambassador In Mex
 ico-We Intervened.

NEW YORK, Sept 17.-Sir Lionel Garden, the British ambassador to Mexico, who reached this city today. was ordered out of Mexico by Pro- visional President Carranza, and but for the intervention of the United States he would have been given his passports, which would have meant war between the Mexican and British governments.
 Carranza holds the British ambas- sador responsible for the prolonged resistance of General Huerta, who remained in the presidents chair for eighteen months in spite of every effort of the constitutionalists to oust Jim.
 The administration at Washington brought strong pressure to bear up- on CarranZa in order to prevent a break between the two nations and it is rumored here that CarranZa se- cured the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico as the price of allowing Sir Lionel Garden to retire without friction.
 WASHINGTON, Sept. 17.-Sir Lio- nel Garden stated today when about to leave here for Europe that the government of the United States and the people of America had moral obligation to perform towards the Mexicans who had sought shelter in Vera Cruz under the American flag and that it would be a shame for America to abandon them to the mer' cies of the rebels.
