of Investigation to Be Made Public
London. 11:55 a. m.—A despatch to
tnc Wolff Bureau from Berlin by way
of Copenhagen says that the Nord
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung has pub
lished the following official statement:
"Belgium is circulating officially a
false account of the occurrences for
which Louvain was compelled to suf
fer. it is declared German troops were
repulsed by a sortie from Antwerp
and were mistakingly fired on by our
own troops in Louvain and that this
caused the burning of Louvain.
Repulsed by Germans.
"As a matter of fact events proved
indubitably that the Germans repulsed
;he Belgian softie. During this en
gagement the Germans in Louvain
were attacked, unquestionably in pur
suance of an organized plan in dif
ferent parts of the city. This hap
pened after the Germans had been in
pleasant relationship with the inhabi
tants of Louvain for more than twen
ty-four hours.
"This attack was first made upon a
battalion of the landstrum, compoeed

With Rifle Fire.
‘•Others attacked included members
of the staff of the commanding gene

dead and wounded. Nevertheless they
gained the upper hand with the help
of newly arrived troops, who them
selves were greeted with rifle fire at
the railroad station.
“An investigation is under way, the
result of which will be made public.
The truth of the statements made in
the foregoing is beyond all doubt. The
Hotel de Ville was saved from fire.

‘‘The German minister at The Hague

government to urge the Belgian gov

SCHNEIDER’S
ATTACKS BRITISH
NEWS CENSORSHIP
London Times in Editorial Today Compares English and
German Accounts of Unprecedented Crisis—Scientific Pre
paration and Dissemination of Falsehoods
London, —The London Times today
editorially deals with the British
system of censoring news dispatches.
It calls attention to the fact that the
German government lias always un
derstood the value of presenting its
own news to the public abroad and
says:
“Englishmen are apt to regard this
kind of propaganda with contempt.
They tielieve that truth will prevail
over untruth no matter liiw scien
tifically falsehood may be spread. In
the long run their confidence Is no
doubt their confidence is Justified, hut
in the present circumstances the prac
tice of giving lies too long a start
may be attended by serious draw
backs.
Justifiable Anxiety.
“Our government in Its justifiable
anxiety to prevent transmission from
this country of nevys that might he of
assistance to the enemy has estab
lished a severe censorship on sll out
going telegrams and has thereby nec
essarily caused great delay in their
transmission.
"Constant and well founded com
plaints have been made by dozens of
Italian and American correspondents
of the treatment of their messages.
It appears that in some cases these
are detained from 12 to 24 and even
48 hours by the British censor.
No Time to Be Lost.
"No time is to be lost If this re
gretable and indeed dangerous situa
tion is to he remediel. It is not too
much to ask that our government
should spare neither pains nor money
to insure that ccutrafcountries whose
attitude at critical moments may be
of vital importance shall not be left
without, authentic and veracious in
formation.

Patriotic Duty.
"In time of an unprscendentsd
crisis the press has a great patriotic
duty to perform. Germany Is well
aware of the potent influence of the
press and uses it to the uttermost.
"We commend to attention the fuo
simile we published today of a com
munication purporting to emanate
from a member of the Times staff, a
person who has never extsteo. Tills
unscrupulous communication has been
published In hundreds of newspapers
in western America.
Innumerable Examples.
"We could quote Innumerable ex
amples of (lie kind. One reason why
Turkey is on the verge of war is that
Constantinople is swamped by Ger
many with fabrications about alleg
ed British and french reverses. An
other example we quote shows that
the German and Dutch press is now
being mobilised for efforts to iletaeli
France from the entente. Germany
has even approached the Times and
other English newspapers, offering
for publication Ibe reports of her
general staff upon the military ope
rations.
“Our government has (lone nothing
to counteract these activities We have
received from Petrograd infinitely
more Information than from our own
war office.”
