A Trip Through
A City Of Horrors

August 2S.--After lunch Blount
and | decided to 60 out to LouYain
to learn for ourselves just how much
truth there is in the stories we have
heard, and see whether the Ameri-
Can College is safe. We were going
alone, but Pousette and Bulle, the
Swedish and Mexican Charges DAT
flares, were anxious to join US, so
the four of US got away together
and made good time as far as the
first outpost this side Of Louvain.
Here there was a small camp by a
hospital, and the soldiers came out
to examine our papers and warn
US to go no further, as there was
fighting in the town. The road was
black with frightened civilians car
rying away small bundles from the
ruins of their homes. Ahead was a
great column of dull gray smoke
which completely hid the city. We
could hear the muffled sound of fir
ing ahead. Down the little street
which led to the town we could see
DOZENS Of white flags which had been
hung out of the windows in a child

Drunken Soldiers
Blame the Citizens

We talked with the soldiers for
some time in an effort to get some
idea of what had really happened in
the town. They seemed convinced
that civilians had precipitated the
whole business by firing upon the
staff of general who was parleying
with the burgomaster in the square
before the Hotel de Vile. They saw
nothing themselves and believe what
they are told. Different members Of
the detachment had different stories
to tell, including one that civilians
rad a machine gun installed sn top
of the Cathedral and fired into the
German troops, inficting much dam
age.
One sof the men told US that his
company had lost twenty-five men in
the initial furry. @They were a de-
pressed and nervous looking crew,
litter against the civil population
and cursing their ways with great
earnestness. They were at some
pains to impress upon us that all

Belgians All Dogs,
They Explained

Some bedraggled German soldiers
came out from under the gate and
examined our passes. They. were
nervous and unhappy and shook their
heads gloomily over the horrors
through which they were passing.
They said they had had hardly a
minutes sleep for the past three
nights. Their eyes were bloodshot
and they we're almost too tired to
talk. Some Of them were drunk-in
the sodden stage, when the effect be-
gins to wear off. They told US We
could proceed in safety as far as the
station, where we would find the
headquarters of the commanding Of
ficer. Here we could leave the motor
and learn how far we could safely
so. This crowd varied the wording a
little by saying that the Belgians
were all dogs, and that these particu-
lar dogs we're being driven out, as
they should be; that all that part of
the town was being cleared Of peo-
pie, ordered to leave their homes and

Loot of Louvain

Machine guns were at work near

loud explosion when the destructive
work was helped with dynamite.
A number of thesmen about us
were drunk and evidently had been

officer complained that they had had
very little to eat for several days,
but added glumly that there was
plenty to drink.
A cart, heaped high with loot,
driven by a fat Landsturmer and
pulled by tiny donkey, came creak-
ing past us. One of our party
pulled his kodak from his pocket and
inquired of our guardian in English

His intent evidently escaped the
German, who answered cordially:
Certainly; go ahead. You will

and he was too much occupied with
