Majesty's devoted servant and cous-
in, Albert, Prince of Monaco.
Letter Addressed to Gen. Won Bue-
low.
Monaco, Oct. 22nd, 1914.
General: To avert from the Com
mune of Sissonne and that of Mar
chais the rigorous treatment with
which you have threatened them,
give my word of honor to remit to
His Majesty the Emperor William,
should the war come 70 an end with
out intentional damage being caused
to my residence or to these two COM
munes, the necessary sum to COM
plete the amount OF five hundred
thousand francs imposed by you upon
Sissonne.
GAS Sovereign Prince, I wish to
deal in this matter with the Sow
ereign who, during fifteen years.
called me his friend and has decorat-
ed me with the Order of the knight
of the Black Eagle.
"My conscience and my dignity
place me above fear, as also my
personal will shall elevate me above
regret; but should you destroy the
Chateau de Marchais which is one
of the centers of universal science
this archaeological and histrical gem
and charity, should you reserve to
the treatment you have given to the
Cathedral of Rheims no rep
rehensible action has been commit
ted there-the whole world will
judge between you and myself.
''I tender to Your Excellency the
expression of my high regard.
ALBERT, Sovereign Prince of Mo-
naco."

The German military rulers have
also made the families responsible
for acts committed by or charged
against members as is shown in the
following examples, which are quoted
from the Appeal to Truth, cited
above.
Families Made Responsible.
'The Belgian Government have
sent orders to rejoin the army to the
militiamen of several classes. AL
those who receive these orders are
strictly forbidden to act upon them
In case of disobedience the family OF
the militiamen will be held equally
responsible"
"a warning of the Governor Gen
eraI, dated January 26th, 1915, rem
ders the members of the family re-
sponsible if Belgian fit for military
service, between the ages of le and
40, goes to Holland"
The Commander in Chief of the
German army in Belgium posted a
proclamation declaring:
Villages, Made Responsible.
ssThe villages where acts of hostili-
ty shall be committed by the inhabi-
tants against our troops will be
burned.
"For all destruction of roads, rail
ways, bridges, etc., the villages in
the neighborhood of the destruction
will be held responsible.
"The punishment announced above
will be carried out severely and with
out mercy. The whole community
will be held responsible. Hostages
will be taken in large numbers. The
heaviest war taxes will be levied"
At the end of the Appeal to Truth
Cardinal Mercier says:
ttBut we can not say all here, nor
quote all.
eff, however, our readers wish
for the proof of the accusations =
we shall be glad to furnish them.
There is not in our letter, nor in
the four annexes Ito the Appeal to
TRUTH, one allegation of which we
have not the proofs in our records. y
A striking illustration of the Ger
man methods is contained in the
archives of the State Department, be-

"It has been conclusively proven
that the road between Sis: onne and
the railway station of Montaigu was,
on September 18th, strewn with
broken glass along distance of one
kilometre and at intervals of 80
metres, for the purpose, no doubt,
of impeding automobile traffic.

responsible for this act of hostility
on the part of the inhabitants and ]
punish the said commune by levying
upon it a contribution Of 100000
francs Give hundred thousand

"This sum must be entirely paid
into the treasury of the Etape by
October 18th.
"The Inspection of the Etape now
at Montcornet has been directed tc
enforce execution of this order.

dent:
prince states that Gen. Won Bue-
low for weeks has been inhabiting
Princes ancestral chateau near
Rheims, historical monument, con-
tanning works of art and family heir
looms; that Won Buelow has imposed
fine of five hundred thousand francs
on village of Sissonne some miles
distant from chateau, because brok-
en- glass found on road near village.
Sissonne being unable alone to pay
has raised with a number Of other
neighboring villages one hundred
twenty-five thousand francs but Won
Buelow has sent two messages from
Sissonne to Prince that unless latter
pays fine for Sissonne the chateau
and adjoining village, as we'll as
Sissonne, will be destroyed in Novem-

fusing to pay sum now but willing
to give his word to German Emperor
that amount would be paid after re-
moval of danger of fresh war Incl
dents. Prince now fearful lest re-
turning messengers, as we'll as male
employees on his estate, be shot be-
cause of refusal to pay.

"Sire: I forward to Your Majesty
several documents relating to a very
grave and urgent matter.
"The General Won Buelow has
caused to be occupied since one
month and a half my residence of
Marchais, situated at five kilometres
from the village of Sissonne. The
general has levied upon the fifteen
hundred inhabitants of this poor
ruined village a war contribution
Of five hundred thousand francs, of
which they are unable to pay more

contribution in order to avert hor-
