Special Dispatch TO The Trtbun


WASHINGTON. Aug 8.-"In every
thing which bears on the military sit
uatlon,' says an official dispatch from
berne to-day, "a singular silence is
observed by the German press and
agencies. 1t appears that particularly
severe orders have been given to the

comments. An extraordinary brevty
is observed in the commentaries of the
Wolf Agency of August 5 and g. 1t

report from General Won Ardenne,
which appeared in the 'Berliner Tage-
biatt' on August 6, and in which the
military chroniccr tries to dispute the
correctness of the figures Of $4,000
prisoners given in the French commu-
niuues."
A telegram from Zurich to-day says:
THE 'Munchener POST protects

Hamburg by Prince Henry of Prussia,

Legation at Washington De-
clares Germans Appropri-

Violate Hague Articles
Invaders, Unable to Make

to Pass Judgment
Especial Dispatch to The Yribune)


WASHINGTON. Aug. s.-The Belgian
Legation in a statement to-day de.
clared that the assistance of America
has saved the Belgians from famine
The statement follows:
Article 81 of the fourth convention
The Hague stipulates concerning
requlsltons IN an occupied country of
war material which can serve only the
armies of occupation that they must
be proportionate to the resources of
the country.
'1n Belgium the Germans have in
terpreted this article so literally that
the stipulation restriction no longer
has any meaning; they have possessed
themselves by seizures, purchases more
or less voluntary and acquisitions of
the food stores and of the agricultural
products on the pretext that they were
necessary for their so-called army of
occupation. which in reality was their
fighting army. There has resulted
great scarcity of the very essentials of
existence
with the same scorn of all the OBJ
legations to which they themselves sub
scribed, the invaders do not trouble
themselves at all to feed the people,
so that without national and foreign
aid the people would be in danger of
dying OF hunger. 1t is to the great
generosity of the United States that
the Belgians owe their escape from de-
struction by famine. They will never
forget it.
