URGED TO SPURN BELGIANS
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Ask Wilson Not
Grant Hearing to Kaiser's
Accueers.

Washington, Sept. 14.-President
Wilson is receiving scores of protests
from German-American societies and
irslividuals against receiving the della
CATION of Belgian officials which has
come to this country to submit
charges of atrocities committed in
their country by the German troops.
Senator Lewis of Illinois presented
at the White House letter from Hor-
ace Brand of Chicago publisher of the
Illinois Stats Heitung, urging the pres
ident not to receive the delegation.
Mr.. Brand asserted that it would be
unfair and unjust to Germany to give
official recognizance to an attempt to
discredit the kaiser and his army.
Mr.. Brand said that if the Belgian
delegation be received he and other
Americans would appreciate
an opportunity to present the defense
of Germany against the charges
made by the kaiser's enemies.
Senator Lewis added request that
the president grant hearing to Mr.
Brand if he decides to receive the Bel
CLANS. The delegation will arrive in
Washington today.

PRINCE ACCUSES BELGIANS
Gouging Out Eyes of Wounded Ger
man Soldiers Alleged by Henry
of Rouss.

New York, Sept. 14.-Count Won
Bernstorff, German ambassador to the
United States, made public an extract
from a letter written to him by Prince
Henry of Rouss. The extract follows
in part:
81 hope that we have already pro-
tested to the government at Brussels
against the frightful atrocities which
were committed and are still being
committed daily by the lower class
of the Belgian population against our
brave soldiers, especially against
wounded ones.
ut is still time to prevent scores OF
crimes. The cruelties in question are:
The gouging out Of eyes of the
wounded soldiers; cutting out Of
tongues; cutting off limbs; numbering
of the wounded who are lying on
stretchers ready to be taken to the
hospital; treacherouS assaults by peas
ants, etc. Priests who received our
troops in friendly manner during the
day were at night detected with re-
volvers in their hands participating
actively in the outrages."

ditions. rendered surprising service,

war and wanted peace, but before the
subject could be considered seriously
definite terms would have to be sub
mitted. Great Britain, Sir Edward
pointed out, would insist that Belgium
be fully compensated by Germany for
her losses. This information was COM
municated to Secretary Bryan by the
British ambassador.
France Wishes for Peace.
Thursday, Sept 10, the French am.
bassador called on Secretary BRYAN
and it is understood discussed the
point of view of France Ambassador
Herrick coincidentally reported the
earnest wish of France that there
might be peace, but pointed out that
until the French had driven tie invad
ers from their territory and Belgium
had been compensated terms of peace
could not be negotiated. During the
afternoon Ambassador Pages report
of his conversation with Sir Edward
Grey also reached the White House.
Great Britain, according to Ambassa-
dor Page, was determined to make no
peace until German militarism had
been crushed because of its danger to
the worlds civilization. On the same
day came personal messages from EN-
peror William and President Poincare
of France concerning the use of dunn
DUN bullets.
Decide to Wait on Kaiser.
Friday, Sept. IL, President Wilson
and Secretary Bryan conferred on the
general situation and, it is understood,
determined to await the reply of the
German emperor to the inquiry sent
on the previous Monday before ac-
kncwledging the two personal mes
sages from Emperor William and Pres
ldent Poincare. Should the emperors
reply be favorS BILE one the president
may take advantage of the messages
addressed to him to express a hope
that the atrocities complained of may
be ended through the making OF peace.
Success Not an Impossibility.
Among diplomatists friendly to the
allies. the view was expressed that
while the efforts to make peace seem
ingly had failed, sudden turn Of
events might at any moment change
the situation. 1t was pointed out that
IL the retreat of the German army con-
tinued so that it we're forced to the Dor
ders of France, and If Austria's re-
verses were prolonged, President Will
sons personal influence In Great Bri-
tain and France might be brought to
bear to obtain definite statement Of
peace terms. These same diplomatists
said one version of Emperor Williams
views on peace which had reached
them was that he declared at the out
break of the war he would be ready to
make peace within month.
This view, it was said, he held be-
cause of his confidence in the ability
of his armies to take Paris in that
period. German bankers, too, it was
said by these diplomatists, had been
given this assurance and approved the
entry of Germany into the war because
they believed the country's finances
could be handled through morato-
rum of a months duration.
