Tells Of Priests Compelled to Walk Be-

Cardinal Mercier's Statement
as to Taking of Hostages.

That the Germans in Belgium
made use Of women. children, and
priests as screens to protect the IN
uaders from Belgian troops is shown
by the following testimony gathered
by tho committee on public infor-
nation:
Minister Whitlock. In his report of
September IL, 1917. to the secretary of
states, gives an instance of the Ger
man practice of seeking protection.
"The Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge in the
village. The Germans forced the par
ish priest of Autgaerden to walk in
front Of them as a shield. AS they
neared the barricade the Belgian SOL
diers fred and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belgians the
Germans shot four men. burned so
houses, and looted 1O0."
Hugh Gibson, In "A Journal From
Our Legation In Belgium" page 1856.
gives another incident:
1.-TWO old priests have staggered in
to the - legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead of the German troops for
miles as sort of protecting screen.
One Of them is Ill, and 1t is said that
he may die as a result of what he has
gone through"
