VALLEYS OF MEUSE AMI
SAMBRE.

While the First Army, under the
command of General Alexander Won
Kluck, was mastering the passages
of the Meuse between Wise and
Namur, and carrying out the scheme
of devastation which has already
been described, detachments of the
Second German Army, under General
Won Bulow, were proceeding up the
Meuse Valley toward Namur. On
Wednesday, Aug IL, the town of
Huy, which stands half way between
Namur and Liege, was seized. On
Aug. 20 German guns opened fire on
Namur itself. Three days later the
city was evacuated by its defenders,
and the Germans proceeded along
the valley of the Sambre thru
Tamines and Charleroi to Mons.
Meanwhile a force under General
Won Hausen had advanced upon
Dinant, by Laroche, Marche, and
Achene, and on Aug. Is made an
unsuccessful assault upon that town.
A few days later the attack was re-
newed and with success, and, Dinant
captured, Won Hausen's army stream
ed into France by Bouvines and
Rethel, firing and looting the viii
lagos and shooting the inhabitants
as they passed thru.
The evidence with regard to the
Province of Namur is less volumi-
nous than tnat relating to the north
of Belgium. This iG largely due to
the fact that the testimony of SOL
diers is seldom available, as the
towns and villages once occupied by
the Germans were seldom reoccupied
by the opposing troops, and the num-
ber of refugees who have reached
England from the Namur district is
comparatively small.

ANDENNE..''

Andenne is a small town on the
Meuse between Liege and Namur,
lying opposite the village of Settles
with which it is connected by a
bridge over the river,) and was one
of the earlier places reached on the
German advance up the Meuse. In
order to understand the story of the
massacre which occurred there on
Thursday, Aug. 20, the following
facts should be borne in mind: The
German advance was hotly contested
by Belgian and French troops. From
daybreak onward on the 10th of
August the Eighth Belgian Regi-
ment of the Line were fighting with
the German troops on the left bank
of the Meuse ON the heights of
Settles. At a. m. on the 10th the
Belgians found further resistance
impossible in the district, and re-
tired under shelter of the forts of
Namur AS they retired they blew
up Andenne Bridge. The first Ger
mans arrived in Andenne at about
10 a. M, when ten or twelve Uhlans
rode into the town. Then went to
the bridge and found it was destroy
ed. They then retired, but returned
about half an hour afterward. Soon
after that several thousand Germans
entered the town and made arrange
ments to spend the night there.
Thus, on the evening of the 10th of
August, a large body of German
troops were in possession of the
town, which they had entered with
out any resistance on the part of
the allied armies or of the civilian
population.
About 4:30 on the next afternoon
shots were fired from the left bank
of the Meuse and replied to by the
Germans in Andenne. The village of
Andenne had been isolated from the
district on the left bank of the Meuse
by the destruction of the bridge,
and there is nothing to suggest that
tho firing on the left came from the
inhabitants of Andenne Almost i'm
mediately, however, the slaughter of
these inhabitants began, and con-
tinued for over two hours and in
termittently during tho night. Ma
chine guns were brought into play.
The German troops were said to be
for the most part drunk, and they
certainly murdered and ravaged un-
checked. A reference to the German
diaries in the appendix will give

This is no time for talk!
This is fighting time!


1t takes fighting to win wars!
Railroads and munition plants
must have enough coal to keep
everything moving at top speed, if
we fight right.
Our allies must have enormous
amounts of coal, if we fight right.
There must be twenty thousand
(20,000) miners taken out of our
coal mines and drafted into our
army, if we fight right.

Are you yellow or are you red?
Are you real man, or are you a
whining Stacker?
Do you think you are fooling the
people you run with?
You do?
Well, you had better take another

think you do''-hurry up the call

it and need it bad!
Do you think you are. going to let
the other fellow risk his life for you
and you stay at home sinking be-
hind some woman's petticoats, or
perjuring yourself to pile up more
dollars?
Let me say, you are wrong, and
very wrong again.
If you hide behind some woman's
petticoats, the other woman who
gives her man will make this coun-
try so hot for you that life-even to
a yellow slacker-will be unbear-
able.
Our women did it in 1851, and
their daughters will do it in 1918.
Do you know we are in life and
death struggle?
Those who risk their lives are 60

fight too. They are not going to
fight the Kaiser and carry yellow
parasitic Stacker on their backs.
Now that you understand your

Let's talk about next winters fuel.
1t is the opinion of the best post

enough coal to fight with and keep
all of our necessary industries run
ming and keep all our homes warm
next winter.
Now am going to fight!
And you are going to fight If you
stay with me in Tennessee!
If it comes to the point, that either
our allies and our boys in France go
cold, or we go cold, then we (you
and y are going cold!
So, if you want to be certain of
keeping warm next winter, get busy
right now and lay in lot of wood.
1t can't be had?
That's what everybody said this
winter, but when they found they
would be allowed to run with wood
on closed days, they got lots of
wood and they liked it, thank you.
1t costs a little more?
You -blooded worshiper of
a dollar!
Have to save your money?
What's the use? If Germany wins,
they will take it away from you to
pay indemnities. If we win, and
you try to take it with you to the
next world, it will all be burned up

A German cavalryman rode away

At Temploux, on the 23d OF
August, a professor of modern Ian
guages at the College of Namur was
shot at his front door by German
officer. Before he died he asked the
officer the reason for this brutality
and the officer replied that he had
lost his temper because some civ
ilians had fired upon the Germans
as they entered the village. This
allegation was not proved. The Bel
gian Army was still operating in the
district, and it may we'll be that it
was from them that the shots in
question proceeded. After the MUIR
der the house was burned.
On the oath and 25th of August
massacres were carried out at
Surice, in which many persons be-
longing to the professional classes,
as well as others, were killed.

some idea of the extent to which
the army gave itself up to drink
thru the month of August.
When the fire slackened about Z
o'clock, many of the townspeople fled
in the direction of the Quarries;
others remained in their houses. AT
this moment the whole district
around the station was on fire and
houses were flaming over a distance
of two kilometers in tho direction OF
the hamlet of Tramaka. The little
farms which rise one above the other
on the high ground of the right bank
were also burning.
At 6 o'clock on the following
morning, the 21st, the Germans be-
gan to drag the inhabitants from
their houses. Men, women and chill
dren were driven into the square,
where the sexes were separated.
Three men were then shot, and a
fourth bayoneted. A German Col
onel was present whose intention in
the first place appeared to be to
shoot all the men. A young German
girl who had been staying in the
ncighborhood interceded with him,
and after some parleying, some of
the prisoners were picked out, taken
to the banks of the Meuse and there
shot. The Colonel accused the popu-
lation of firing ON the soldiers, but
there is no reason to think that any
of them had done so, and no in
quiry appears to have been made.
About 400 people lost their lives
in this massacre, some on the banks
of the Meuse, where they were shot
according to orders given, and some
in the cellars of the houses where
they had taken refuge. Eight men
belonging to one family were muir
dered. Another man was placed
close to a machine gun which was
fired thru him. His wife brought his
body home on a wheelbarrow. The
Germans broke into her house and
ransacked 1t, and piled up all the
eatables in a heap on the floor and
relieved themselves upon it.
A hairdresser was murdered in his
kitchen where he was sitting with a
child on each knee. A paralytic
was murdered in his garden. After
this came the general sack of the
town. Many of the Inhabitants who
escaped the massacre were kept as
prisoners and compelled to clear the
houses of the corpses and bury them
in trenches. These prisoners were
subsequently used as a shelter and
protection for a pOntoon bridge
which the Germans had built across
the river, and we're used to prevent
the Belgian forts from firing upon it.
A few days later the Germans
celebrated a Fete Nocturne in the
square. Hot wine, looted in the
town, was drunk, and the women
were compelled to give three cheers
for the Kaiser and to sing "Deutsch-
land uber Allies"

anxious as it is for bargained peace, has
added blackmal and banditry to it's other
crimes and stands wholly unashamed in the
avowal. Since the world is in arms against

will have to find their answer in the reso-
Lutte movements of the armies and navies
of democratic nations, acting in self-de-

words trading and tribute from their
vocabularies.'
"The New York Times" tells Hertlino
that

like to haye US think they mean--that Ger

signs. Germany's assurance that she does

"In this necessary work Chancellor Won
Hertling made very bad beginning by
what he said about Belgium He afirms
that Germany has no intention of holding
on to Belgian territory. but will retain it
as pawn the chessboard of peace
conference. But what moral insensibilitv
is revealed in this. Germany is in Belgium
as robber-. Belgian territory is stolen
goods. All, but we mean to restore them
to the rightful owners Only on terms,
however. And what terms."
Referring 70 Hertling's declaration
that Germany was willing to listen to
duly appointed representatives of the
enemy powers, "The BROOKLYN Dailv
Eagle" remarks:
Nobody knows better than does the
hancelior that the powers referred to have

would not from the very start turn
deaf ear to them
But the ChanceIlor's palpable bid for
peace terms has been greeted by the
press with storm of indignant re-
lection. On every side he is told that
the Allies will make no peace terms till
Germanys armies are driven from
France and Belgium. His insistence
upon using Belgium as counter in the
general peace negotiations, after having
sad that Germany never had any in-
tention to keep it, is referred to as a
particularly crying example of moral OBJ
tuseness. Not a few editors compare
this to an offer from a burglar to re.
turn the goods" if he is paid for them.
And through all the editorials there is
the ring of an iron will to fight Ger

her defeat and accept peace at terms to

The Tribune cries "Surrenderv and.
after speaking of the fatuousness of our
wondering what terms Germany would
regard as acceptable, adds:
"But there are NO terms short of uncon-
ditiona surrender that the world may ac-
cept from Germany with honor without in
finite qualification. The Hun shall not
stipulate anything. 1t is for us to name
the conditions under which he may con-
tinue to exist. Either that or the world as
it was before"
Equally biting is >"The New York
World":
"Indeed, Chancellor Won Hertling's latest
avowal that Belgium is to be held as a
pawn for future negotiations, taken in con-
necton with his CHASTITY falsehood that the
German invasion and conquest were for de-
fensive purposes only, shows that autocracy.
