BRITISH COMMISSION REPORTS
GERMAN 0UTRACES IN BELGIUM
Lea Meadows.

LONDON, May 12.-Murder. lust,
and pillage prevailed over many parts
of Belgium on a scale unparalleled in
any war by civilized nation in the
past three centuries, declared the
British commission headed by Vice
count Bryce.
A report on alleged German atroci-
ties was presented to Premier Asquit
today.
The commission finds the German
army guilty of a series of most shock
ing cromes against men, women and
children that human brutality could
devise Drunkenness is blamed chief
iy, but in many instances destruction
of human life and wanton wrecking
was carried out with the sanction Of
higher officials.
A considerable number of the mass
of the reports from Belgium and
France presented to the commission
on Dec were found to be authentic.
Testimony was taken in every form.
from Belgium. French and British SOL
diers. from Belgium refugees. from
captive Germans. from victims of out
RACES and from travellers.
In it's aim to be fair. however, the
commission noted that many German
soldiers we're executed by their own
officers when found guilty Of attack
ing women.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1915-05-12

In conclusion the commission says:
From the foregoing pages it will
be seen that the committee has come
to definite conclusion. 1t is true that
there was in many parts of Belgium
deliberate and systematic organized
massacres of the civil population &C.
companied by many isolated murders.
In the conduct of the war generally
innocent civilians were murdered in
large numbers, women violated, and
children murdered.
That looting. house burning and
murder were authorized and counte-
nanced by the German army and that
elaborate plans for incendairism were
made before the outbreak of the war.
That the rules and usages of war
we're frequently broken particularly by
using non-corbatants. including wom-
en- and children. as the shield for ad-
vancing forces subject to fire, to less
degree by killing prisoners and by vio-
laitng the Red Cross and the white.
Sensitive as they are to the gravity
the commission feels it would be do
ing less than its duty if it failed to rec
ord them as produced in the evidence.
Lust. murder, and pillage prevailed in
Belgium on a scale unparalleled by
civilized warfare during the last three
centuries"

JUDGE UPHOLDS /
DEMURRER FOR ]
LIGHT CONCERN

Arguments between City Attorney
Bond and Wilfred Jessup. president
of the Light, Heat and Power com,
pany were begun at o'clock in cir.
cult court before Judge Comstock. q
demurrer filed by the Light, Heat
and Power company this morning WA,
sustained and the argument started
this afternoon is to decide whether
the restraining order granted by
Judge Comstock shall be permanent or
temporary.
The sustaining of the demurrer
against the complaint of the city.
gives the Light, Heat and Power CONF
pany right to continue in the erection
of a building in which additional ma
chinery will be installed. This is re-
garded as victory for the power com
pany unless the judge overrules the
demurrer after the arguments. No
time limit was fixed for the attor-
neys to argue the case.
The demurrer filed today said the
Light Heat and Power company is
handling the bulk of power business
in Richmond while the city plant has
the most of the lighting business. The
demurrer declares the power com
pany cannot continue to pull an in
creasing load without additional ma
chinery and cannot be restrained from
making Improvements necessary to
continue its business in as Efficient 2
manner as possible.

GARBAGE ORDINANCE
RECEIVES attention
OF HEALTH OFFICER

The demand for strict observance
of the sanitary garbage ordinance
which has recently been made by the
city health department has been res
pended to in a very satisfactory man
ner by the big majority of household
ers and business concerns, City Health
Officer Smelser said today, but there
are still quite a few people who have
ignored the edict.
These people, DR.. Smelser said,
were going to be dealt with in a sum-
mary manner I'VE have them all list
ed and they will probably be very
much surprised in a few days when
they are notified that their presence
in city court is DESIRED he said.
Dr. Smelser said he had been devot-
ing most of his time lately to an en-
forcement of the garbage ordinance
and that in few days he intends to
start making an inspection of rattle
trap houses which are known to be
breeders of tuberculosis and other
dangerous diseases.
Il will cooperate with the building
inspector in this work. he said, land
every house which is found to be I'm.
fit for human habitation will have to
be either remodeled to the satisfaction
of the health department and the
building inspector or town down"

The ability to talk much and say
nothing is not solely an oriental ac-
compIishment. This fact was DEM

bassador from the United States to

way to his home in Pittsburg on leave
Of absence.

sador at Washington. Ambassador
Guthrie replied to each question by
answering another of his own choos-

Except for one phase of International
politics. he was automatically silent.
Japan is particularly friendly to
the United States" he said. 1.-THE
feeling Of cordiaIity has increased in
G marked degree since the recent visit
Of Baron Dewa to this country. He
