COMPLAIN OF AGGREssIoNS

2 Spa, July 13.-Some of the members of the German delegations have com- plained to Chancellor Fehrenbach of aggressions, of which they claim to have been the victims since their ar rival at Spa. One journalist attached to the German delegation, came to blows with former Belgian officer, whose house he occupied at Spa during the war.
 According to these claims, last evening as the Germans were seated in a cafe the orchestra struck up the British na- tional anthem When the Germans be- gan singing in their native tongue a Bel gian civilian took offense and ordered them out They refused to leave, but were finally elected after sharp scuffle in which the same journalist received a blow over the nose with cane.
 The Belgian civilian ran out of the cafe just as Herr von EclShardt editor of the Hamburg Fremdenblatt and Herr Stolllossa, correspondent of the Wolff agency, were passing. Recognizing them, the civilian struck Stolllossa in the face with his cane, injuring the corre- spondent so severely he was confined to bed today. It is understood the German delegation will make representations to the Belgian authorities regarding the af- fan.
