WARRIORS OF INDIA hits THE BELG|ANS
German Prince Charges Them
With Many Shocking Crimes.
Declares Lower Glasses Are Guilty Of
Fearful Cruelty Toward Soldiers Of
the Kaiser, Especially
the Wounded.

Now York.-Count Won BernstorN,
German ambassador to the United
States, made public the following ex.
tract from letter written to him by
Prince Henry Of Reuss:
Il 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. 1t seems that the Bel
gian government is either helpless or
else does not know the least about
these things, which are worse than the
cruelties committed during the Balkan
war.
1T might be advisable II the Bel
CLAN government would be asked from
The Hague to take energetic steps In
the Belgian districts not yet occupied
by the Germans, so that an end Is
put to this detestable war of franc
tireurs and that army fights only
against army
THE reports are coming in daily
about guards being treacherously
killed by peasants, etc., and the fear
full cruelty committed even by women
to our wounded soldiers. This will
forever remain shameful blot on the
history of Belgium. 1t also seems that
In Belgium the minor Catholic clergy
is carrying on an incessant agitation.
1T surely does not meet with the
Belgian governments Intentions that
the Belgian people commit the lowest
crimes against humanity. which, natu-
rally, the Belgian government will
have to be blamed for in the future.
1t 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, cut
ting off of limbs, numbering of the
wounded who are lying on stretchers
ready to be taken to the hospital,
treacherous assaults by peasants, etc.
Priests who received our troops in q
friendly manner during the day were
at night time detected with revolvers
in their hands participating actively
in the outrages."

.MONSTERKRUPPGUN
Mortars With Which Forts OF
Liege Were Smashed.
Secret Of Terrible Explosive In Shell
Closely Guarded-Results Of Eight
Years Of Quiet Work
by Inventor

Chicago. = Raymond E. Swing,
cabling to the Chicago News from
Berlin, has this to say OF the great
Krupp mortars
II Germany wins the war 1t will
not have been might but science that
conquered; 1t will have been the
science OF warfare, such as other ma
lions have known and practiced.
though not SO well. but above all 1t
Will have been the science Of artillery,
for the pinnacle OF German war
science is the AZ centimeter GIGS
inch) Krupp mortar. the most miracu-
lous and powerful weapon designed in
the history of war.
Mentioned by thousands, the Krupp
mortar Is known only by q few. The
gun was invented eight years ago, but
only those in the confidence OF the
krupps know who the inventor is.
For eight years the Krupps worked
at the secret while guarding 1t with
most rigorous precautions. This year
they perfected it. This mortar fires
the largest and most dangerous pro-
5ectile ever shot from weapon. In
making 1t no single workman worked
On more than one small piece. and
one vital part Of the machinery was
made In Austria.
Even the artillery subcommittee Of
the bundesrath was not informed this
year. 1t was merely asked to with
hold debate on the artillery situation.
as something extraordinary was be-
ing provided. That something extra
ordinary was FIRST seen when the
Liege forts, which could Withstand
any artillery fire known to Belgian Of
f1cers. collapsed like shanties, burying
thousands of the garrison under the
wreckage At Namur the same story
was repeated.
So far as l can learn, what was.
done at Liege and Namur was this:
At some distance from a fort a
space was cleared and a great mortar
set In concrete bed occupying q
circle with a radius of 100 feet Be-
hind the motar and outside this circle
was tunnel leading to a subterran-
can chamber. The great mortar was
sighted, the projectile was set in place
and then the gunners retired to their
underground chamber. Here they
pressed button and the mighty shot
was fired.
The explosion was terrible Any
thing within fifty feet of the gun at
the time of the explosion would be
killed. Even men in the neighboring
armies complained of headaches and
toothaches from the jar and the same
complaints were made by the men in
the forts where the projectiles ex-
ploded.
The projectile pierced through one,
two and three ordinarily impenetrable
walls and buried itself in fourth.
Here it lay silent many seconds, then
exploded like volcano, bringing to
the ground in ruins every stone which
had stood upon another.
A shot fired into the center of q
fort buried itself deep in the ground
and lay there as though gathering
strength for it's demoniacal eruption.
Then, after twenty seconds, it ex-
ploded and RACED the proudest walls
! in Belgium.
Each shell costs $2,500 What 1t
contains nobody but the Krupps know
1t is brought to the battle field in
pieces and assembled by the highest
end ,nscst trusted Of the Krupp
