GERMANY EXPOSES

Neutrals to Beware of

Copies of Circular Spread Broadcast
in Spain Reach Washington-Finin
of Children Who Refuse to Speak the
German Language

WASHINGTON, May 10.-Tcutonic
frightfulness as practiced in France and
Belgium has been made the subject of
German warning to neutral nations
of the fate which they may expect if
they take up arms against the central
powers.
''if there are any still thinking of
siding with the allies, let them take
warning from the fate of others, - says
the warning. 1t is in the form of a
circular, which rccites the amount of
booty seized in France and Belgium. the
number of churches damaged and de-
stroyed, the money wrung from the
stricken inhabitants and finally the de-
llberatc mistreatmcnt of English pris-
onerS of war
German propagandists have flooded
Spain with this document printed in
Spanish, and copies have come into the
possession of the state department.
Having established its German origin
the department makes public this trans
latiOn:
Besides an untold amount of war
material captured on the battlefield. the
Germans have taken possession of in
calculable booty in France and Bel
GUM, including:
High grade watches, All.
Average watches, SOLO.
Underwear, 1906.
Embroideres and women 5 handkcr-
chiefs, l5,l32.
Umbrellas and parasols, sos.
Silver spoons, 1876.
Bottles of champagne, 323, 900.
These figures show a large increase
over those of the campaign against
France in 1870 and 1871.
In Belgium besides MANY art treas
ures they have contiscatcd old paintings
valued at 100000 pesetas.
Due to the treachery of Cardinal
MereIer and other priests, who did their
utmost, 10 stir, the. priests against the
good-hearted German soldiers, they were
forced 10 teach a severe lesson to the
Belgian and French Catholics.
Cathedrals destroyed, l.
Rendered unserviceable. 5.
Churches destroyed. -.
Rendered uuScrviccablc. -.
Total, 73.
In Poland also large number of
churches have been destroyed for mil
itary reasons. The figures concerning
these have not vet been published.
As result of the stupid stubborn
ness Of the Belgian people in continuing
the struggle after their bloody and final
defeat on the battlefield the German of
fcers were forced against their viii to
impose punishments on many rich indi-
viduals and wealthy cities This has
contributed the following amounts to
the German treasury:
Punishments, s7ooo,o00 pcsctas.
Security, l3,00o,5 800 pesctas.
Rcprisals, 15,75o,0o0 pesetas

In connection with claims of the OK
tent of territory occupied by German
troops the following foot note appears:
When it is held that the Germans
have occupied no English territory and
that, ON the contrary, they have lost all
their African colonies, amounting to
some 100000 square kilometers, it
must be remembered that the English,
according to the declaration of their
ministers, are not intending to secure
any extension of the British empire,
that they have entered the struggle
with only the aim of helping the Bel
gians. That is to say, the English have
