The Truth About Belgium

BY BRAND WHITLOCK

I charming little town, set like a
| jewel on the Mouse, with the pic
turesque rock of its citadel and the
curiously Oriental spire of the old
church of Notre Dame, was no more.
"Dinant has been destroyed" said
some one almost casually; it was but
one more detail in the great cata-
clysm. 1t was the first of Septem-
| Der, when we were beginning to get
the events of Louvain in order in our
minds, that the two men came IN
from Dinant. | have since read the
story many times and in many re
ports. but their account in all essen
tials was sufficient; the others could
but piece out the recital with shock
ing details, until a long while after
wards we had the sinister neurology
the names and ages of the sos vic
tins of the massacre-old men OF
seventy and eighty, and women, and
little children, and babies in their
mothers arms.
The Germans had entered Dinant
on the sixth of August. The town
folk had heard of the destruction OF
Wise, but they did not believe it.
There were skirmishes in the coun-
try round between Uhlans, making
reconnaissance, and Belgian and
French troopers, but that was all
Then. on the fifteenth, the Germans
tried to force their way across the
Meuse. but they were repulsed, and
fell back in retreat. The Dinantals
thought that the French had defi-
nitely won the engagement, and thai
they were among friends, but just
at nightfall on the 21st, band of
German soldiers, about $50 in all,
dashed down the road from Ciney
and along the rue st. Jacques, shout
ing like savages, smashing street
lamps, firing into windows, throwing
incendiary bombs into houses, ter
rorizing the population of the quar-
ter of st. Roch, shooting up the
town, as they used to say in the far
west
Then suddenly, early on the morn
ing of the Esd, German troops began
mourning into the town from all four
Quarters: they came by the Lisogne
road, by the Ciney road, by the
Froidevaux road, but principally by
la Montague de st. Nicolas, and
while the shells exchanged by the
German artillery on the citadel, with
the dCIOoo IhO AAN~A'
screaming overhead, the soldiers
turned the inhabitants out OF doors,
set the dwellings on fire, herded the
people in a mass, and marched them
across the city, their hands above
their heads, to the place d'Armes.
The men were separated from the
women and children, ranged in line,
and from time to time during the
day. a few were selected, led out and
shot. In the Leffe quarter alone the
Germans shot thus 40, and at eve,
ming they shot the Argentine consul
and forty workmen in a factory.

NEW ORLEANS May 20.-The market, in

day in lower grades, and the demand seems to
stay.
Several Of the interior spot markets have cor
rected their grade differences and allowances
on the lower grades are now more in line with
Ours Technical conditions are, Of course, in
favor of the bull side. The frequent disap-
pointments have reduced the long interest for
general accounts while selling has become
holder.
These bullish conditions may not tell at pres
ent ubt on any development that would turn
sentiment and stimulate a buying movement,
they would quicken the pace Of the advance.
The situat ton barbors large possibilities. The
market right suffers rather from timidity
and supercaution on the bull side than from
adverse facts.

portion of the belt Sunday and were
heavier in parts of Oklahoma but temperatures
were generally favorable there was little
