PARISH PRIEST
USED AS SHIELD
Brand Whitlock Tells of coWardN
Act OF Commander of Ger
man Detachment.
HUGH GIBSON ADDS EVIDENCE
Tells Of Priests Compelled to Walk Be-
fore "Huns" to Form Screen
Cardinal Mercier's Statement
as to Taking of Hostages.

That the Germans IN Belgium
made use Of women, children, and
priests as screens to protect the in
padsrs from Belgian troops is shown
by the folIowing testimony gathered
By the committee on public tnfOr-
nation:
Minister Whitlock, In his report of
September IL, 1917, to the secretary of
states, gives an instance of the Ger
man practice Of seeking protection.
.The Germans attacked Hougaerde
on the 18th August; the Belgian troops
were holding the Gette bridge In the
village The Germans forced the par
ish priest of Autgaerden to walk In
front OF them as q shield. AS they
neared the barricade the Belgian SOL
diers fired and the priest was killed.
After the retreat of the Belgians the
Germans shot four men, burned 90
houses, and looted 100"
Hugh Gibson, in "a Journal From
Our Legation In Belgium" page 100,
gives another incident:
1.-TWO old priests have staggered In
to the - legation more dead than
alive after having been compelled to
walk ahead of the German troops for
miles as a sort Of protecting screen.
One of them is III, and 1t is said that
he may die as a result of what he has
gone through"
Statement Of Cardinal Mereier.
"At the time of the invasion Bel
gian civilians. In 20 places, were made
to take part In operations OF war
against their own country. At Ter
monde, Lebbeke, Dinant and elsewhere
in many places, peaceable citizens,
women and children were forced to
march In front of German regiments
or to make a screen before them.
"The system Of hostages was carried
out with a fierce cruelty. The procla-
nation of August 4th. quoted above,
declared, without circumlocution:
Hostages will be freely taken
IAN official proclamation, posted at
I1ieBt, III TIC ctsA uayo VA nus uoe, Ian
thus: Every aggression committed
against the German troops by any per-
sons other than soldiers in uniform
not only exposes the guilty person to
be Immediately shot, but will also en-
tail the severest reprisals against all
the Inhabitants, and especially against
those natives of Lege who have been
detained as hostages in the citadel OF
Liege by the commandment of the Ger
man troops
"These hostages are Monsignor Rut-
ten, bishop Of Liege; NJ. Kleyer, burgo-
master OF Liege; the senators. repre-
sentatives. and the permanent deputy
and sheriff of Liege."
The above quotation Is taken from
"An Appeal to TRUTH" addressed No
vember "A, 1915, by Cardinal Mercier
and the other bishops Of Belgium TO
the cardinals, archbishops. and bishops
Of Germany and Austria Hungary.
"Some ten or dozen American cor
respondents. of whom was one, wit
messed the first German drive through
Belgium. Most of US were SO appalled,
and Mortified by what we saw as to be-
come anti-German for life" win Ir-

PAPERS SHOW ANXIETY
German Press Admits Their Of
fensive Has Failed.
Fear Is Expressed That the Initiative
10. Has Passed to the Allied
Armies.

Washington, July 24.-German pa.
pers not only admit that the German
offensive has failed, says an official
dispatch from Switzerland, but ex'
fear that General Foch has built up
an army of reserves that will enable
him to wrest the offensive from the
German high command.
The Franfurter Zeitung asserts that
the entire, strategical plan of Hinden.
burg is compromised by the attack on
the Aisne- Marine front.
The Strassburger Post says the pub
lie had in general attached too great
hopes to the German offensive at
Rheims, and asks ''from where do
these troops come that the American
transports have really brought more
quickly than expected?"
The Muenchener Neuste Nachrichten
says France is still very strong, that
America has more than half a million
soldiers in France, and that the Eng.
lish army has been reconstructed and
put in perfect state. 1t adds that it
will take weeks perhaps to wrest the
initiative from General Foch.
The Koelnische Volks zeitung says
the fact must no longer be hidden that
German deserters have made use OF
their knowledge of the plans of opera.

CROSSES.

Each life must have its crosses,
And a soldier gets his share,
From trip arross the ocean
To the envied Croix de Guerre.
There are crosses by the Censor,
Far too many, so it seems;
There are crosses in the letters
From the grille of his dreams.
There's cross that's worn by heroes
Who have faced a storm of lead;
There's an iron cross awarded
There's cross when he is dead.
There's cross when he is wounded
For murder and for rape;
It's the the emblem of the devil,
It's the cross of sin and hate.
There's the little cross of Mercy
That very few may own;
For soldier it is second
To the cross of God alone.
It's cross that's worn by women
When we see it we believe
We can recognize an angel
By. the Red Cross on her sleeve.
