Belgian Legation
Denies Atrocities
German Captives in East
Africa Imprisoned in
Their Own Jail
ts,an Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-The Belgian
Legation to-day answered the German
charge that atrocities" had been com
mitted by the Belgian colonial army in
East Africa, upon which Germany
sought to justify the seizure and de-
portation of twenty prominent Belgian
citizens "by way of reprisals." Among
the persons deported 20 Germany for
this alleged cause are Count D'Ursel,
aged sixty-seven, a former Senator;
Count John D'Oultrement, aged seventy,
who was marshal OF the royal court
under King Leopold, and Mr.. Lepreux,
a prominent fnancier and manager of
the Banque Rationale.
The legations statement, in part, fol-
lows:
"The German newspapers have not
failed TO say that the Belgian troops
committed atrocities at the time OF
their victorious entry into Tabora.
However, among the Teutons taken
prisoner in that town was the German
official in charge of the district, a GER
tain Otto Weber, who has given the
following description of what hap
pened: $500
Personally, | have no complaint to
make of the Belgian troops he says
in his written declaration, on their
entry into Tabora. However, as chief
of the district, have to say that some
complaints were made to me on the
subject Of the Belgian troops at Ia
bora. and | have taken personal cog
nizance of the damage done in the
house Of Mrs. Horn. | was also told
that a butcher shop had been plum
dered by Italians on the day the Bel
gians entered Tabora, but / have not
been able to verify this statement. At
another house the awning outside had
been torn by bayonets. / am not able
to say positively that the deeds to
which my attention has been called
were brought to the attention of Cen
eral Tombeau (the Belgian command
ing officer by Mr.. Brandes; at the
end of two days everything was calm
again
"By a piece Of rare good fortune, the
Belgians on capturing Tabora found a
convenient place already provided for
their prisoners. II was the Jail, made
by the Germans. The only thing neces-
sary to do was to liLerate the prison.
ers made by the Germans and to put
the Germans there in place of their
own prisoners; and then to carry on
ITO the former jailors, who had now
become prisoners, the Belgians applied
the Germans own regulations, a copy
of which was found posted on the wall.
Some changes in the rules were made,
however, for the German regime was
SO severe that the Belgians' spirit Of
humanity revolted at the idea of put
ting it into practice without modifica-
ton"

Enlisted Men in Navy Buy
More Than Seven Mill
ions of Bonds

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Liberty
Loan tabulations were at stsndstill
at the Treasury tonight. awaiting fur
Their reports from the Federal Reserve
banks.
On the basis of estimates already in
hand, officials are confident that the
flood of subscriptions during the clos
ing hours of the campaign Saturday
carried the loan we'll beyond the S5,-
100000 900 mark, but virtually no tg-
ures were received to-day on which to
base an accurate estimate of the grand
total.
The Treasury has decided to make
no further announcements until No
vember !. Thursday. by which time the
Reserve banks are expected to have
their reports somewhere near tnal
shape. After day of rest yesterday
the banks officers and employees de-
voted themselves to tabulating results
to-day and most of them did not even
communicate with Washington.
Final Reports Thursday
Thursday is the last day on which
subscription agencies. including $4,000
banks, can make their returns to the
Federal Reserve banks.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels an,
nounced to-day that naval stations and
ships. only so per cent of the latter
having been heard from, have sub
ecr;bed s7231,721 for Liberty bonds.
Tbs men on one ship subscribed for
s1O7 600 worth of bonds. These figures
we're held to be remarkable, because OF
the fact that the money came mostly
from men receiving from $50 to $40 a
month. Nearly all the money came
from the regular service.

Baker Expects
Big War Moves
Predicts German Retreat in
Flanders in Official
Report

WASHINGTON, Oct 29-Important
developments are impending in the
great war. Secretary Baker indicates
in his official review Of last weeks
operations on all fronts. which con-
cludes with the brief statement that
certain units of the American forces
IN France have taken their places on
the battle front to complete their
training. This Is the War Depart
ment's first mention Of the fact that
General Pershing's men are on the
firing line.
On the Western front, he said, a
now strategic retreat of the German
forces appears to be the next move ex-
pccted, and they must move back un-
der critical circumstances from be-
tween the two wedges, those Of Flan-
ders and the Aisne, which have been
driven relentlessly into their line by
the British and French.
Italy is passing through difficult
moment, Mr.. Baker says. The Austro-
German drive is being pressed forward
by imposing forces. But once before
Italy stemmed the tide OF an Austrian
rush, under less favorable conditions
tor the defenders, he points out, and
hurled the enemy back with only a
taste of victory during the first days
Of his terrific onslaught. Winter is
now coming 10 the aid of the Italians.
The Secretary's review follows:
"The two outstanding features OF
the situation OF the week are the re-
lentless British offensive in the Ypres
salient, resulting in substantial gains
OF terrain of important strategic value
and the sudden well aimed and sus-
tanned thrust Of the French north Of
the Aisne.
1T is evident that the Allied drives
along the Western front are broaden
ing in scope and in intensity. The
whole front from the Houtholst Wood
through the Passchendaele ridge
southwark to Lens and on to the Aisne
Is becoming the scene Of increasingly
heavy Allied pressure, which the en-
"Sde by side the French and Brit
ish are pushing on through the Flem-
ish lowlands toward Roulers.
The casualties to the enemy are
rising steadily.
General Petain so we'll masked his
preparations that the enemy was taken
by surprise as to the exact terrain
chosen for the attack and was over
whelmed before being able to organ
ize concentrated resistance.
"The German lines were penetrated
to a depth we'll over two miles at one
Point.
This first attack was Immediately
followed by second assault in this
same sector crowned with full success.
Twelve Thousand Taken Prisoner
an three days fighting the French
have taken 10000 prisoners, 120 guns
of large calibre and a great quantity
Of other booty not yet enumerated.
"As the result of the concentration
of an imposing array Of artillery and
massed battalions, the Austro-German
forces have succeeded in penetrating
the recently won Italian positions in
the Tolmino sector.
"Italy is passing through a difficult
moment.
"In the East German naval opera
lions in the vicinity of the islands at
the mouth of the Finnish Gulf were
carried through, with serious losses,
both in men and material.
1.-The Russian resistance apparently
is consolidating.
"The Germans, using the islands as
a base, have now gained foothold on
the adjacent mainland.
