MURDER OF BELGIANS
CHARGED TO GERMANS
Commission Finds Invaders
Killed and Looted Inhabi-
tants Without Hindrance.

LONDON, May 12.-"Murder and pillage
prevailed over many parts Of Belgium in
n scale unparalleled in any war between
civilized nations during the past three
centuries" declared the British Govern
ment Commission, headed by Niscount
Bryce, former British Ambassador to the
United states, in "a report on alleged
German atrocities in Belgium" presented
to Premier Asquith,
Presenting its data In judicial way,
the commission finds the German army
guilt OF series of the most shocking
crimes against men, women and children
that human brutality could devise
Drunkenness is chiefly blamed, but in
some instances, wanton destruction of
human life and ruination of property was
carried out on systematic lines with the
sanction of the higher officials of the
German army, 1t is charged. These
crimes, the commissioners declare. were
n part of n system of general terroraa-
ton.
In conclusion the commission sums up
its findings as follows:
1T is proved
First That there was in many parts
of Belgium deliberate and systematically
organized massaCres of the civil popula-
tion, accompanied by many Isolated MUIR
ders and other outrages,
Second. That in the conduct of tho
war generally. innocent civilians, both
men and women, were murdered in large
numbers, women violated and children
murdered.
Third. That looting, house burning and
whnton destruction of property were
ordered and countenanced by the officers
of the Germa narmy, that elaborate pro-
vision had been made for systematic
incendiarism at the very outbreak of
war, and that the burnings and de-
struction were frequent where no mill
tary necessity could be alleged, being,
indeed, part of the system of general
terrorization.
Fourth, That the rules and usages of
war were frequently broken, particularly
by the using of civilians, including wom-
en- and children, as the shield for adj
vancing forces exposed to fire, to a less
degree by killing the wounded and the
prisoners, and in the frequent abuse of
the Red Cross and the white flag.
Fifth. Sensible as they are of the
gravity of these conclusions, the COM
mittee conceived that they would be do
ing less than their duty II they failed to
record them as fully established by the
evidence. Murder lust and pillage pre-
vailed over many parts of Belgium on a
scale unparalleled in any way between
