LONG LIST OF GERMAN
OUTRAGES RECOUNTED
Belgian Minister in London Isues Statement ot Atrocities
Committed by Kaiser’s Troopss as Vouched for by Com
mittee of Inquiry of High Personnel.
London, 3:05 p. m.—The Belgian min
ister In .London today issued this state
ment:
“In spite of solemn assurances of gor-d
will and treaty obligations of long stand
ing, Germany has made a savage and
utterly unwarranted attack on Belgium.
However sore pressed we rnay be, Bel
gium will never fight unfairly; she wifi
never stoop to Infringe the laws and
customs of legitimate warfare. Bhe is
putting up a brave fight against over
whelming odds. She may he beaten, she
rnay he crushed, but to quote the words
of our noble king, she never will be en
slaved.
Placarded.
"When German troops invaded our
country the Belgian government tamed
a public statement which was placarded
In every town, village arid hamlet warn
ing all civilians to abstain scrupulously
from hostile acts against troops of the
enemy and the Belgian press has dally
published similar notice broadcast
through the land.
“Nevertheless the German authorities
have issued statements lately containing
grave Imputations against the attitude
of the Belgian civilian population am!
threatening us at. the same time with
dire reprisals. These imputations are
contrary to the real facts and as to
threats of future vengeance, no menace
of odious reprisals on the part of Ger
man troops will deter the Belgian gov
ernment from protesting before the civi
lized w<*-ld agairtst the fearful and atro
cious crimes committed wilfully and de
liberately by the Invading hosts ageinst
helpless non-combatants, old men, wom
en and children.
Appalling Details.
“Long is the list of outrages commit
ted hy Gorman troops. The appalling
details of these atrocities are vouched
for by a committee of Inquiry recently
formed hy the Belgian minister of Jus
tice and presided ovrt* by him. This
committee comprises the highest judi
cial and university authorities of Bel
gium, such as Chief Justice Van Iseghein,
Judge Nys. Professors Cotteer, Wodon,
etc. Instances and particulars have h-eri
established hy careful investigation based
In each case o nthe evidence of reltab e
eye witnesses.
“German cavalry occupying the vil
lage of Llnsman were attacked oy tonta
Belgian Infantry and two gendarmes. The
German officer was killed by our troop:j
during the fight and subsequently buried.
At the request of the Belgium officer In
command not one of the civilian popula
tion took part In tills fight at Llnaman.
Nevertheless the village was invaded at
dusk of Aug. 10 by a strong fojro® of
German cavalry, artillery, infantry and
machine guns.
Skulls Smashed.
"In spite of the formal assurances
given by the burgomaster of Linsman
that no peasants had taken part in the
previous fight, two farms and six out
lying houses were destroyed by gunfire
and burned. All the male inhabitants
W»*e compelled to come forward £nd
hand over whatever arms they possessed.
No fire arms which had recently been
discharged were found. Nevertheless,
the invaders divided these peasants into
three groups. The men of one of these
groups, numbering elevn, were bound and
