BELGIAN ENJOYS
GUESTS OF BUTLER

The members OF the Belgian Royal
Commission sent here to protest
against alleged German atrocities were
entertained at dinner last night by
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, of Colum-
bia University, at his home, so Morn

The commission returned yesterday
morning from a trip to Boston, Non
treal. Chicago and Cleveland. Before
the dinner the Belgian representatives
visited Columbia. They will sail this
morning on the White Star liner Adri-
attic.
Count Louis de Liehtervelde, seere-
tarv of the commission, expressed APP
nreciation of the hospitality with
which the commission has been re-
eeiyed in this country. Daring our
stay here" he said, I'VE have not given
anv sensational interviews. We have
met many prominent people Of this ma
tom and learned Of the sympathy for
us that exists here.
eft seems to be the rule Of human
itv not to do useless harm in warfare.
That rule has been grossly and afro
ciously violated by the invader Of our
country. The Belgian investigating
committee is continuing its work.
Cabled details of further atrocities,
such as the killing OF innocent people,
have been sent 10 Washington and in
eIuded in our report

BUTCHERS KNIFE
THREAT FOR FOE

London, Sept. 29.-Americans who
arrived to-day from Brussels say that
most of their countrymen are now
leaving that city, fearing outbreaks ow-
ing to the strong feeling among the
population against the Germans. AS
an evidence Of the feeling, among inc
Brussels people it is cited that after
Burgomaster Max was arrested nuner-
GUS placards were posted warning the
Germans that if the burgomaster were
injured the people of Brussels had pet;

would use them. 81,

moment is perhaps the most critical IN
the war so far. There IS also reel,

GERMANS TORTURED
BOYS, SAYSSCOTT
Crushed Wrists of Belgian
Lads Who Aided De-
tenders, He Asserts.

Antonio Scott, the we'll known barry
tone of the Metropolitan Opera Com
psny, is the latest witness TO the truth
of the reports of atrocities committed
by the German army in Belgium. Mr..
Scott, who arrived in New York last
week on the Lusitania, told Tribune
reporter yesterday that he had seen
Belgian boys whose wrists had been
broken by German soldiers, the boys
sole offence having been that they hal
taken water and provisions to Bel
gian soldiers.
Mr.. Scott further stated that public
opinion in Italy was rapidly forcing
that country into war against Austria
and Germany, and asserted that the
resignation of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the Narehese di San Guiliano,
would at once precipitate the crisis.
81 saw in London a number of~Bel-
gian boys with both wrists broken,
said Mr. Scott. 1T was horrible, espe-
cially when the sole offence of thu
poor children had been that they hsc
carried water and provisions to the
soldiers who we're fighting to defend
their country. There can be no doubt
as to the cruelties Of the Germans.
Ones eyes do not deceive.
"These cruelties, however, seem TO be
due to the orders Of the officers rather
than to the brutality Of the individual
soldier. The German officer is above
all ordinary law, and much sympathy
as we have for the German people
should not blind our eyes TO the neces-
sity of putting an end to the Prussiar
militRristic caste.
"In Italy the people are fully alive
to the German peril, and their demand
for war is becoming louder each day.
"If the Marchese di San Giulisno, thu
Minister of Foreign Affairs, resigns,
means Itsly's immediate entrance int
the struggle. =,

BRITISH CLERGY
ANSWER GERMANS
Heads of Churches Amaz-
ed at Appeal Issued by
KaiSer'S Preachers.

London, Sept. 29.--In reply to the ap-
peal addressed by German theologians
to Evangelical Christians Abroad" a
manifesto was issued here to-day,
signed by the heads of the Established
Church of England and by Noncon-
formist leaders, justifying England
action in connection with the war.
The manifesto refers TO the authors
Of the German document as men Of
whose honesty, capacity and good faith
there can be no question:" but eN-
presses amaZement thf- such men
"should commit themselves TO state.
ment concerning the political causes OF
the war which departs so strangely
from what seems to US to be plain
facts.
at is upon these facts we rest our
assured conviction that for mon who
desire to maintain the paramount OBJ.
legation of fidelity to their piighted
word, and their duty in defending
weaker nations against violence and
wrong, no other course was open but
that which our country has taken"
After reviewing the negotiations that
preceded the war the manifesto con-
tinues:
I'VE can only suppose, incredible as
it seems, that those honorable and
gifted men who signed the German ap-
peal were unaware of the obligations
by which we were bound, and also OF
the story Of the negotiations"
After expressing the hope that the
time will come when it again will be
their privilege TO work with the Ger
man theologians in behalf Of Chris
tianity, the signers add:
There must be no mistake about our
position. Eagerly DESTROYS Of peace,
foremost TO the best of our ability in
furthering it, keen especially to pro-
mote close fellowship between Eng
!. nd and Germany, we neverthe less
have been driven TO declare that dear
TO US as peace is, the principles Of
truth and honor are yet more dear.
1--WE have taken our stand for in
ternational good faith, for the safe
guarding of smaller nations, for the
unfolding of the essential conditions
of brotherhood among the nations Of
the world"
Among the signers of the manifesto
are the Archbishops of Canterbury,
York and Armagh, the Bishop Of Lon
don, the Rev. K. J. Campbell, Or. John
Clifford. the Rev. F. b. Mayer, DR..
Campbell Morgan and Sir W. Robert

ART WORKS FIND
SAFETY IN LONDON
LILY cnhls to The Tribunal

London, Sept. 29.-"Msny paintings
Of priceless value from Belgium and
France are now'in London to avoid the
possib. lity of destruction by the Ger
mans" one Of the best known art deal
ers in London said to-day.
"But the picture dealers in the
French capital now feel sure the Ger
mans Will never get TO Paris, and so
they are leaving many valuable works
of art there. These works are, how
ever, being kept in strong rooms, as
also are some Of the priceless treas
ures of the museums"
A few days ago the Lord Mayor OF
London, on behalf of the City Of Lon
don Corporation, offered through the
Belgian Minister to give the protection
Of the Guild Hall for the more precious
works Of art in the Belgian galleries
Dealers here also are willing TO open
their galleries TO such works of art.
When asked If any art objects had
been sent TO America for safekeeping
the dealer said:
There is nos place safer than Lon
dom"
He asserted that Americans would
be the only purchasers Of fine works
Of art in the next two or three years.
He added:
"The picture market in your coun.
try. however, depends on the way Wall
Street takes the conditions brought
about BY the war;"

BOER CITY CHEERS
BOTHA AND EMPIRE

London, Sept. ga Reuter- dispatch
from Cape Town says that, addressing
FIVE thousand people at Bank, in the
TrsnsvaaI. General Louis Botha, Pre-
mier of South Africa, declared that the
policy of neutrality for the Union was
absolute nonsense. He pointed out
that if a German warship came to Dur
ban and imposed levy of S25,OOO,OOO
il would help the people very little to
say they were neutral.
file said he had information regard
ing German ambitions concerning
south Africa which would make the
hair of his hearers stand on end. The
German Emperor wanted to go down
to posterity as second Napoleon. In
eidentally he also wanted a place TO
send Germany's surplus population,
and South Africa appealed to him as a
suitable place.
The speech was received by the
Beers with voeiferous cheers, and q
resolution Of confidence in General
Botha was carried by acelahation.

Custom House Men Say Vessels,
Kulenkampff & Co. Were
ConSignorS.

The firm of Vessels, Kulenksmpff &
Co. shipped 3,977 tons of coal out Of
New York on the American steamer
Lorenzo, which was surprised and capt
ured by a British cruiser while coaling
The German cruiser Karlsruhe in the
West Indies, it was said by officials at
the Custom House yesterday.
The same concern, it was added, also
shipped 2,737 tons Of coal on the Ber-
wind. which arrived at Rio de Janeiro
on September 10, two weeks overdue.
Both vessels, which are owned by the
New York e. Porto Rico Steamship Com
pany, sailed from New York on Au-
gust 5.
The firm Of Vessels, Kulenkampff g.
Co. is composed Of Louis Vessels, Gus
tav 3. Kulenkampff, Alexander Won Con
tard and Johann Smidt. One member de-
MED the firm exported any coal on the
captured vessel. Another admitted coal
had been shipped, but disclaimed all
knowledge as to whether the cargo on
the Lorenzo was sent to the Karlsruhe.
He did not know what had become Of
the coal aboard the Berwind.
The concern would not divul &c the
manner in which the order for the coal
it has shipped was received, or who the
order came from.
