SWEDISH COTTON EMBARGO.
Order Believed to B- In Retaliation
q British Action.

LONDON, May 29.-Sweden has for
hidden the expectation of cotton from
Swedish ports.
Dispatches from Stockholm tonight
assigned no reason for the Governments
action, II was believed here. however.
that the Government ban on cotton ex-
ports Is a sequence to the issuance OF
the British Order in Council announcing
mat the British Government would seize
carsoes en- route to neutral ports but
with German ports as their ultimate des-
tination.
Sweden's action is believed to be
aimed particularly at shipments to Ger
many to avoid controversies with the
British Government over the seizure OF
cotton cargoes on ships bound for
Swedish ports.

That the Belgian Government must
take the blame for this violation OF
international right by the people Of
Belgium is beyond any doubt. Il GER
tLinly would have been very Easy for
IL, through its newspapers and through
such officials as Mayors, to give It's
soldiers and any members Of the civil
guard the necessary instructions so as
to control the passions of the population,
which had been purpos"ly reused. The
Belgian Government must, therefore.
take full responsibility for the dreadful
bloodshed which took place in Belgium.
The incontestable fact that from the
very beginning the German troops in
Belgium were forced in the interest Of
sclf-pre;ervation 20 fight against the
population may easily he proved by
looking into the matter through a com-
mission from any part OF the world.
Tales told by refugees and collected
by refugees and again collected by the
Belgian Commission. which called them
absolutely unbiased, have every appear
ance of untruthfulness. II not Of vicious
fabriCations As matters stand the
commission was absolutely unable to
test the correctness of the stories told
to its members or TO form any idea
how things happened.

which took place Immediately. proved
that the family OF the Mayor not only
was aware Of the hostilities. but took
part in them. From the cellar, which
WAS locked, and the keys OF which the
family pretended had been mislaid, shots
were fired into the streets, and in one
Of the cellar windows an arrangement
was found to make the position of the
man who fired the shots more COM
Portable.
"a musketeer testified he had dis
tinctly seen one Of the shots fired from
this house. The only person who could
have committed this deed WAS the son
of the Mayor, who had been hidden by
the family and who was brought out
from his hiding place. AS TO the com
pliCity IF the family in the murder OF
the Colonel, whom they had received In
a friendly manner, 1t was proved be-
yond any doubt. The father and son
were shot, the next day, August 20.
THE brother OF the Mayor, in whose
house The Chief OF Gendarmes, Capt.
Karge. who was also attacked, had been
hilleted At the suggestion Of the Mayor,
shared their fate. The participation OF
the entire family of the Mayor proves
how deliberately the Belgian officials
took part in such criminal actions
against he German troops, which unfor-
tunately were to- frequent. Al Aer-
schot his pernicious official participa-
ton amounted to the shameless assas-
sination OF the commander in chief"

"lts accusations against the German
army are therefore nothing but a base
libel. which Is disproved by the material
in our hands.
AT Aerschot the fight between Ger

in England. by the fact that German
