The visitor had dropped in "just for
a minute" but she remained about
three hours after the minute was up.
Little Freddie had formed several
plans, the execution of which must be
postponed till the departure of his
mothers guest, so he sat quietly think
ing things.
Dear little man !" gushed the visi-
tor. "And what is he thinking about
so deeply?"
II was wondering if it wasn't time
for you to be going" said Freddie.
"Hush!" said his mother. Then,
turning to her guest: "You mustn't be
offended Mrs. Smith. Children will go
blurting out the truth without think
ing. but they don't mean anything by
it."
Then Mrs. Smith recollected that she
had only three minutes in which to
catch the last car home.

he can do nothing with her."

The Truth About Belgium

BY BRAND WHITLOCK

pose that the comrades of the sol
der, having seen that it was indeed
from the house of Fishback that the
shot was fired that killed him, had
Immediately inflicted punishment on
the possessOr of the house"
Nothing here from Berghausen or
his own responsibility as an officer
He had dragged an old gentleman
from his own house, after breaking
in his door. and had turned him over
to the wrath of frenZied soldiers
and then lost sight of him in the
darkness. And he supposes that they
had killed him because he was the
possessor of the house from which
shots had been fired!
Later on in his deposition there
is this statement: 81 can declare in
the most formal manner that the
officers and the soldiers who were
following the Rue de la Station, at
the moment when was going to the
station, did not shoot" From which
it is established that-Berghause
never leaves any doubt in his evil
dence, but himself always draws the
desired conclusions for one-''from
which it is established" he says,
that on the night of the Goth and
18th of August, some time between
10 and IL o'clock, the inhabitants
of the Rue de la Station, without the
German soldiers having furnished
them any pretext, shot from their
windows on officers and men and,
in particular, when we were passing
before the house No. 120 Rue de la
Station, they were aiming from the
windows of the second story of that
house; as l saw myself the murder
Gus fire on officers and soldiers. That
all, or at least that some, of us were
not killed | can explain only by the
fact that the officers and soldiers
were on the sidewalk on the side of
the street from which they were
shooting, and that, besides, profound
darkness was reigning.
IN my deposition, which I am
ready to confirm by oath, made in all
conscience, it is established in a man
ner absolutely undeniable that on the
night from the 25th to the Goth of
August, as we'll as on the afternoon
of the 26th of August, inhabitants
of Louvain shot on numerous Occa-
sions on the German soldiers, and
this without any pretext, without a
shot having been first fired on them
by an officer or soldier"
Such is his deposition. as it ap-
pears in the German White Book,
and such is Berghausen, and such
was all of the published evidence in
the hearing, such is all the evidence
in the White Book, and these are
the star witnesses. Their evidence
has satisfied the German conscience,
though indeed that was satisfied al
ready. Did not ninety-three Ger
man professors-scientist whose
conclusions are said to be based only
on proved facts-even long before
the White Book appeared, solemnIy
declare that Louvain had been justly
punished?

David Fishback of Louvain

Next we see him bending to kiss
the hands of Belgian nurses at the
hospital expatiating to them on the
solidarity that binds all workers of
the Red Cross together. Later on
in September, according to a news
paper of Cologne, he is at a religious
ceremony in Louvain, mounting to
the pulpit beside the Dominican ia
Their, and translating into German,
for the benefit of German soldiers
present, the sermon which the monk
had just delivered in French to his
own people DR.. Berghausen seems
to have had Il somewhat too evil
dent fOndness for the limelight, the
exaggerated manner of the cinema.
He was dramatiZing himself, or ro-
mantiCising himself, all the time.
Thus it is not surprising to find him
in the midst of the ARRAY there in
the Place de Ia Station that night
He had gone on foot, he says, to the
Place &c la Station and on the way
Belgians had fired at him from up
per windows ten or twelve times.
However. he was not touched by the
shots of the franc-tireuTs and he
arrived at the statue Juste-Lipse.
was then half past ten o'clock-and
he saw the body of a German SOL
der lying in the street and, as he
says in his deposition, asking some
German soldiers nearby who it was
that killed the man. "they pointed
to the house of David Fishback.
But it is better that he tell it
himself
Il myself broke in the door, with
the aid of my orderly, and | found
the occupant of the house, DR.. David
Fishback, the elder | asked him
the reason for the murder of the
soldier, because, / said to him, his
comrades had told me it was from
the windows of your house that the
shot was fired which brought down
their soldier extended there on the
square The old man assured me
that he knew nothing of il. Upon
this, his son, the young Fishback,
came downstairs from the first story,
and the old servant came out of the
pOTters' lodge. l led outside at once
the father, the son and the servant.
At this moment a panic took place
in the street, because from several
on the same side, they were firing
in a terrible fashion on the soldiers
who were near the statue, and on
me. In the darkness I lost sight of
the father Fishback, the son am
the servant"
Again Berghausen is almost mi
raculously spared, and goes down
the street, encountering Won Man
teuffel, accompanied by the presi-
dent of the CrOix Rouge, the Domin-
lean friar, and the old Cure" as he
refers to MOnseigneur Coenraets.
1--WE four, or rather we five,"-
Berghausen is always meticulous in
minute details-"we all saw the
dead soldier" Berghausen's star had
been constant, for, like all the other
soldiers on whom, as he says, they
were shooting in such terrible fash
ion from the windows, once more he
passed through the fire unscratched.
1--WE all saw the dead soldier and a
few steps further on Mr.. David Fish
back, the elder, dead also. He was
stretched before the statue. I sup
