War Torn Belgium Shown
In Exhibition Planned Here

Atrocious Acts, Officially Performed,
To Be Displayed to Public.

Photographs Of murdered Belgian

which were smuggIed out Of Ardenne
despite the German authorities form
q part of the Official Belgian exhfbi-
tion Of war relics. pictures and
cartoons at 1924 F street, which will
be open to the public Saturday morn
ing at 10 O'Clock.
War relics of many sorts. original
cartoons by noted artists, and numer-
Gus German proclamations posted in
Belgium comprise the exhibition
which includes upwards Of a thou
sand exhibits.
Especial interest attaches to the
proclamations, many Of which an
nounce false victories in. order to in
timidate the Belgian people. For in
stance, one poster declares that the
Germans captured 1900 French
troops at Metz. a feat which existed
only in the Imagination OF the boches.
Another edifying poster requires the
women of Ardenne to sweep and
clean all the public squares and
streets of their city. all the men of
Ardenne having been thrown into
prison.
Call for Hostages.
In an Ardenne poster of previous
date, the burgomaster Of the town an
nounces to the people that the Ger
mans have dsgnanded FIVE hostages
and asks that patriotic citizens vol
unteer. Among the photographs is
one OF this burgomaster and his IS
year-old son after they had been
shot by the Germans. There are
also original German posters an
nouncing the death sentence of Edith
Cavell and threatening destruction to
Belgian towns in case of attack on
the German troops.
That German soldiers were deIib-
erately permitted to loot is proven
by photographs of doors of houses.

MAY SETTLE
BATTLE OYER
CASUALTY LIST
President Wilson Believed
to Have Referred Mat
ter to Baker.

Compromise in the battle between the
War Department and the Committee
on Public Information over the dele
ton OF the casualty lists from Gen.
Pershing. will follow the receipt yes
terday Of letter from President VIII
son to Acting Secretary Of War Gro
well. Secretary Baker viii be asked
to take up the matter personally with
Gen. Pershing.
PershIng May Decide.
Publication of complete lists. with
next OF kin, at greater intervals, may
be tried. This scheme would invali-
date by their delay any value that
they might otherwise be to the en-
emy.
Indication Of this forthcoming ac-
ton was given last night after Sec
retary Crowen had attended the first
conference between the Super War
Council and the Senate Military AZ
fairs Committee. Secretary Crowell
would admit only that a letter had
been received from the President, but
It Is generally understood that the
Presidential communication bore a re-
quest that Secretary Baker take up
the matter on the spot with the COM
manding general Of the expeditionary
forces.
Secretary Crowell said that for the
present the position OF the War De-
partment would stand-that the lists
would be deleted. But he said that
should orders be given to make a
change. of course It would follow i'm
mediately.
CreeI Silent.
Suggestion was made that the pub
lication of the complete lists. at long
er intervals. would solve the prob
lem.
This would make any possible in
formation they could convey to the
enemy so late that 1t would be value
less, particularly with reference to
the location. numbers or character Of
the troops in action.
Secretary CroweI agreed that this
might meet the situation and his at
titude gave the distinct impression
that, following the Presidents action.
the present position of the War De-
partment might not last another fort
night.
The question was not discussed at
the conference Of the Super War
Council and the Senate Military Af-
fairs Committee; nor was there any
hint at the White House of the con-
tents of the Presidents letter Mr..
Creel contented himself with standing
by his guns until the reflection of the
Presidents letter Is seen from over
seas.

CObLENz UNDER
AMERICAN RULE
Gen. Pershing Lays Down Rules
Guiding Actions of Inhabit-
ants of Occupied City


COBLENZ, Dec. 27.-Rules for the
guidance OF the inhabitants of regions
occupied by American forces were is
sued today by General Pershing.
Except for minor and specific regu-
lations, the Americans have not in
terfered in local affairs up till today.
Cafes have been opened and theatres
filled night after night. Newspapers,
until recently, have published without
restraint such articles as they de-
sired, while crowds promenaded the
streets until midnight and even later
The Germans had come to believe that
such conditions would continue and,
while there were no serious incidents
as result of the tolerant rule of the
Americans, II was deemed best to
check any tendency toward abuse.
The regulations published today
were signed by General James w. Nc
Andrews. chief of staff, "by command
of General Pershing." In drafting
them an effort was made to avoid the
inclusion of any rules which would
merely humiliate the population or
which savored OF retaliation or ro-
venge. They are intended simply to
maintain good order.
Under the terms Of the regulation,
the authorities will know the exact
whereabouts of every individual, for
each must carry an Identification card
and give notice of changes of habita-
tion. Householders must keep posted
on their doors a list of the residents
of their buildings. with their ages, ma
tionality and occupations. All weapons
and ammunition must be surrendered.
The gathering of crowds is forbidden
and no meetings except courts.
schools, councils and religious services
will be allowed without permission.

MASS SINGING
CROWS IN FAVOR
Serbian Army Major, W. H.
CreSsey, to Speak at High
School Event Tomorrow

The community sing has come to
stay in Perth Amboy as q weekly
event. Mass singing seems to have
cast its magic spell over this, as well
as over other cities in the country
where 1t has been tried out.
Last Sunday a large gathering of
singers took part In the War Camp
Community Service weekly event and
made the auditorium of the high
school ring with their singing. 1t
was q very rainy and disagreeable
day but that was no deterrent and
the people turned out in large num-
bers to add their voices to the Christ
mas carols and patriotic songs.
School children and adults Joined
in the gathering and made 1t a nota-
BILE victory for mass singing in this
city.
The War Camp Community Service
plans TO continue these performances
every Sunday afternoon, and requests
that tomorrow be made a memorable
event because of the advent of the
new year. Those In charge feel that
the new year should be ushered in
with the largest measure of joy be-
cause of the happy auspices as the
result of the war.
The battle of democracy Is won.
The American boys are coming home
crowned with immortal glory because
they have helped make the world bet
ter and happier. They won and con-
quered because they sang. The
American people have learned how to
sing en- masse in order that a singing
people may welcome a singing army.
Go to the high school tomorrow af-
ternoon at o'clock and commence
rate in song the glorious schieve-
ments of the American Army and
Navy.
Major William ii. Cressy. of the
Serbian Army, who was chief of staff
of the National Hospital at Petrograd
and for two years served in the ca
pacity OF chief of. hospital staff of the
Serbian Army, will speak tomorrow.
In connection with his latter position
he was In several OF the terrific bat
ties on the Western front and has
many experiences to tell of. He is at
the present time connected with the
Franco Serbian Ambulance Corps
which has its headquarters in New
York. Major Cressy is an exception
ally fine speaker and has an inspiring
message for the people of this coun-
try.

D|SCUSSFUTURE
Of LUXEMBOURG
Status of Dutchy Subject of
Controversies Future of Ser
bia Also Being Discussed
BIZ Associated Press.

PARIS. Dec. 28:-In conference
circles the opinion prevails that sew
eral difficult questions which will
come before the allies at some time
during the peace conference may be
left over for arbitration after an
agreement has been reached as to a
league of nations.
One of these questions may be the
future status of Luxembourg. One
party there desires the reestabiish-
ment of the Grand Duchy. Another
favors the proclamation of n repub-
lie. A third advocates annexation to
France, while still another prefers
annexation to Belgium. The same
course may be followed concerning
differences between the Italians and
Jugo- -Slavs as a division of territory
and the eastern shore of the Adriatic.
! A question which attracts attention
Is the future of Serbia, where there
is a conflict of several European in
fuences. Cardinal Bourne, arch
bishop of Westminster, went to Serbia
recently and before leaving Rome
had a long interview with Pope Ben
edict. An Anglican bishop also has
visited Serbia, 1t Is reported.
