BELGIAN ATTORNEY
MAY FACE LANCKEN
At LONDON TRIAL
Bitter Hatred Exists Against
German Who Ordered Death
of Edith Cavell.

Brussels, Aug. 17.-(Correspondence
Of the Associated Press).-f Baron
Won der Lancken- -Walkeniter, civil goy,
ernor and regarded by many as the real
ruler Of Belgium during the German
occupation, is brought to trial at the
Old Bailey in London. there VIII De
present an accuser whom Lancken trieu
to send to the firing squad at the Ilr
National That man is Castor de Leva!:
Belgian attorney, legal counsellor OF
the American Legation and special ald
to the American Ambassador, Brand
Whitlock and Hugh Gibson. secretary OF
the American legation, during those
dark days Of the German occupation il
Belgium.
Lancken Bitterly Hated.
There is bitter hatred between Baron
Lancken and the Belgian attorney who
risked his life in his attempt to save
Miss Edith Cavell, the British nurse
from execution. Had it not been for the
Intervention of Ambassador Whitlock and
Mr.. Gibson a firing squad might have
entertained de Leva on the morning OF
October 21, 1915.
De Leval accompanied Mr.. Gibson
on October IL, the American Sec
retary went to protest to Won der
Lancken against execution Of the death
sentence upon Miss Caveli. While the
Spanish Minister, the Marquis of Vii
lalobar. was arguing with Won der
Lancken who refused to intervene, the
German caught sight of de Ieval and
exclaimed: 'There is an enemy subject,
what is he doing here?" Marquis Vii
lalobar and Mr.. Gibson Immediately
recognize that Lancken was attempting
to create a diversion and requested de
Leyal to withdraw The latter refused,
saying: Il shall live to prosecute you
at your trial." Lancken asked Gibson
to dismiss de Ieval from the service Of
the American Legation. Gibson refused.
De Levai Goes to London.
A few days later Lancken came
raging to the American legation, bearing
copy of an English paper with the
story Of the execution If Miss Cayell,
including Mr.. Whitlock's report to the
State Department, Gibson's narrative Of
the event and de Levals legal con
clusions.
This man de Leval VIII have to BE-
removed from the American Legation"
said Lancken. Under military law he
should be tried by 4 colrt martial. I
penalty be yisitel upon lii" "
On October p. 1919, I.anckrn re-
turned to the legation AID demanded
that de Leval be given up. Mr. Whit
lock refused. De Leval went to London
where he remained throughout tie
war
Lancken's parting sally to de Leval
was: I'VE shall meet again De Leyal
retorted: II am sure the pleasure will
be all mine And now they may meet

Chicago tribune Capie, Sopyrlgnt-
Paris, Aug. 17.-Bela Kun's bolshe
vik army got the jump on the allies and
attacked the Rumanians on July 20, ex
actly "a hours in advance of the time
when Premier Clemenceau ordered Mar
shaI Foch to start an allied offensive
against the Hungarians.
On July H. Marshal Foch reported to
the council OF five he could crush boil
shevik Hungary with 25OOOO troops. He
proposed to apportion these troops as
follows Rumanians, 10000; Serbians,
four divisions numbering $4,000, and the
Czecho- Slovaks, the balance, in all about
$4,000 to 10000 troops.
The British and American military
representatives approved the plan and
Premier Clemenceau ordered Marshal
Foch's plan of operations for the cam
paign to be launched not later than four
days from then, or on July q.
But the Hungarians learned the allies
intended to start the offensive and they
began their attack on July 20. Their
lack of success was said to be due large
ly to their incomplete plans due to their
hurry to forestall the allies. The Ru
manians claim the Italians tipped Bella
Kun off to the proposed allied advance.
