shot several times through the head.
A parish priest named Dergent was
taken to Aerschot, stripped, and tied
to a cross In front of the church; his
fingers and toes were crushed and
broken with the butt-end OF rifle.
The inhabitants were made to pass In
front of him and were each compelled
to urinate on him in turn; then he was
shot and his body thrown into the
canal.
This cruel treatment Of tho Abba
Dergent, priest of Gelrode, near Lou
vain, Is reported by a neutral witness,
Father g., IL STUDENT at LoLrain. The
German soldiers accused the Belgian
priest of every conceivable crime; the
assistant priest of Sainte-Gertrude
(Louvain), who was demonstrating
with a soldier, received this reply: Eve
are Catholics, too, but you are pigs and
black devils" In Belgium about 100
of the clergy were massacred. Note
further that in this unfortunate coun-
