STORIES OF GERMAN ATROCITIES KOT : PROVED, SAYS AMERICAN WRITER The Chicago Tribune prints long .sopyrlghted dispatch from James (fllonnell Bennett, Halt corresponded, elated at Alx-la-Chapelle, Germany, which In ipeclfle detail disputes end ehsniea the charges of cruelties and aaroclUes lodged against the Germans ft llelglum. Mr. Bennett, In company sritt John T. McCutcheon or the Chica go Tribune, Irvln 8, Cobb of the Sat sejrday Evening Post, Roger Lewis of fhw Associated Trees and Harry Han aws of the Chicago Dally News, trav- eel 100 miles through 20 towns and their observations lead him to the Brm MBrtatlon that the reports of bar- snitiM alleged to have been perpe trated by German troops are raise feoods. Tbe following dispatch to the Asso ciated Press, evidently forwarded by Boger Lewis, la In substantial agree seat with Mr. Bennett's atory in the Cttleago Tribune: By the Associated Press. New York, An 'Associated Press srtaeT correspondent of American birth mad antecedents, who was sent from fha New York office and was caught as Brussels at the time of the Ger aaaa Invasion, held as a prisoner for everal days, and who Anally escaped So Holland, has sent by mall tbe fol- swing atory of his experiences: 'The night before the Germans en tered Brussels, when the Belgian civil ards and refugees began pouring aato the city from the direction of avaln, they brought stories of un apeakable German atrocities, maltreat- sent of old men and children, and the violation of women. "The Belgian capital reeled with ap prehension. Within an hour the gay tfy, the vivacity, and brilliancy of tbe aatr went out like a broken arc light Tke radiance of the cafes was ex- Banged for darkness; whispering tgroupa of residents broke up hurried ar and locked themselves Into this aasanes, where they put up the shut Ian and drew In their trl-colored Bel- atfaa flags. Fear of Brussels Quieted. me blstorlo Belgian city went through a stats of morbid cooaterna Joti, remarkably like that from which St suffered on June 18, 1815, when It rambled with the fear of a French vic tory at Waterloo. , "in less than 24 hours the Belgian citizens were chatting comfortably with the German Invaders and the al stations of German brutality and de sssnniscal torture dissolved into one of be myths which have accompanied all "Keltlier In Brussels nor In its en viron was a single offensive act, so aar as I know, committed by a German Midler, in a city of over half a mil iMoa people, Invaded by a hostile army sat perhaps a quarter Of a million sol- doles, no act- sufficiently flagrant to vlisasnd punishment or to awaken pro , (est cam to my attention. None Knows of Outrages. "The frightful reports that bad pre ceded the German army Into Brussels raided the disemboweling of old men sad the Impaling of children on lances Jnat outside Louvain. Investigation saot only failed to substantiate these -srasnors, but could not even discover szaj one In the Immediate vicinity who waited them. "An eye witness of unimpeachable wssraclty told me that the worst be- gtavlor he bad observed during tbe first aaonnan entry into Louvain (August U) was that of a German soldier who (aaaed from bis horse and kissed a sajetty Flemish girl who brought blm (lass of beer. 'I marched for days with the Ger- columns, often only one day ba the fighting, with tbe houses that fined been burned still smoldering, the rewind freshly broken, by shell and : trampled by horses and men, and the snsmory of the German advance vivid la the minds of the Inhabitants, v No Proofs of Murder. 1 1nterviewed an average of twenty persons In each of a dosen towns sad gonad only one Instance of a noncom- geatant who had been killed without a Justifiable provocation. In tola case an evidence did not clearly prove that aae man had been wantonly murdered. - "He lived In one of the typical small "Velgian countryside bouses which com Mne the comforts of home with the i of a small public bar: This bouse i at the north of Merbes-le-Chateau, town through which a large part of -ft German army passed on the road no Maubeuge. , ' - "A son of the murdered man, whose . nsie was Arthur Nlcodem, showed me Stood clots on the floor marking the i sjlaoe where Nlcodem fell, his throat sat by a saw-edged German saber. - ,ngllah Fired From House.

He ! bis eon and then walked along upon the first German invaders.' tbe Inference that the shooting was done by .Belgian civilian may have in flamed the Germans to reprisals. "In that neighborhood four houses had been burned and one was still ablass as I passed on Wednesday, Aug. 26. - "This town of Merbes-le-Chateau, which had been the scene of an unim portant skirmish between ' the Ger mans and English on the previous Sunday, was riddled with rifle shots. Tbe small number of window Intact showed that the Germans had made a deliberate assault upon the residents of the town. But the Inhabitants themselves admitted that all of the shooting bad been done by a com paratively smsll number of Germans, and that tha Bring had not been be gun until English soldiers wbo bad concealed themselves In the houses bad fired first upon the Germans, News of Incident Goes Far. "I hare emphasised the one fatality of tbe noncombatant because the news of It traveled up and down the Sambre and across to Hantee-Wlberle and Solre-sur-Ssmbre, multiplying as it went and developing ghastly and In human details until it seemed an un answerable reproach to the whole German empire. "With this one possible exception, 1 did not encounter In Nlrelles, In Blnche, Bulsslere, or Soire-sur-Sam-bre, or any of the other town I visited, a single incident of mistreat ment or any sort by German officers or soldiers. "Bruisslere particularly the lower part of the city had been virtually destroyed by a cross fire from French and German artillery., Tope of brew eries had been hurled bodily to the ground, and walls bad either disap peared or become- grotesquely dis lodged. Burgomaster Dsniss Report. Into this town 130 French killed and more than a hundred wounded were brought In a single day. Au gust Blairlaux, burgomaster, said that he knew of no cases of German cruel ties, except distant rumors which lie had learned to discredit. It ought to be said to tha credit of tbe Belgians tbat they have not allowed their bit terness toward the Germans to carry them into unfair recrimination.' "Robert J. Thompson, American consul at Aachen, visited Liege during and after the capture of the forts. It is the opinion of Mr. Thompson that no outrage waa committed by Ger mane during tbe several days' fighting there. There are, of course, reported out rages beyond Investigation, either on account of their vagueness or because It is Impossible to weigh the provoca tion. It is known, tor Instance, that 112 native were killed in Renouchamp, not far from Ardennes; German sol dier say that they were killed be cause they fired upon them from the roofs and windows of. the house. Differ on Louvain Incident. The history of ths absoluter de struction of the blstorlo city of Lou vain with its cathedral and Its univer sity Is by this time well known. The German version of this I that the In habitants, under the direction of the burgomaster, established themselves In tbe church, where they also , in stalled a machine gun. ' They proceed ed to greet the Germans with a deadly fire. "The Belgians say, on the other hand, that part of tbe German army, mistaking one of their Own retiring di visions for the enemy, opened fire upon them, whereupon, deluded Into thinking this an assault by Belgian civilians, tbe Germans razed the city. I have not been able to acquire any direct evidence In regard to these last two Instance, bnt tbe explanation gen erally credited by disinterested per sons Is that the Belgians, wbo had laid down their arms, according to the bur gomaater proclamation on the en trance of the enemy, took them tip again when It looked as If the Ger mans were retreating from the town, and opened fire from their windows upon a retiring German train. Jarotxsky Tells Outrage. The most authoritative German de nial of German offense comes from MaJ. Gen. Thaddeus von Jarotxsky, military governor of Brussels, wbo In formed me that in numerous cues be had been received with a pretense of friendliness by Belgian civilians, who later fired upon the German soldiers from windows and from between tbe root tile. This was done, he said, after a declaration of surrender by the burgomaster and a proclamation warn ing the citizen against any show of resistance. ; .

"'The prevalence of the Belgian prac tice 'of aniping from the houses wss perhaps indicated by the warning of the German officer who acted aa guard for five American correspondents, In cluding myself, who were being taken as prisoner from Beaumont to Aachen in an army train: We were advised to lie down on the floor of the car as ths Belgian snipers 'would shoot at ua from the houses. But there wa no firing. "This, of course. Is not a brief for the German army; It I an account of German conduct aa It appeared to an impartial observer who had tbe rather extraordinary opportunity of traveling for days with the German columns. over a distance of more than a hun dred milra through a dozen Important cities and towns. "Sometimes I was near enough to tbe front to see the whit artillery smoke spurt into clouds along the horizon and hear tha double detona tions -which came from, artillery at short range. At other times I trailed behind through the desolate waste which a victorious army leaves be hind It , Pay All and Tip Well. "On tbe contrary. 1 wltneeeed nu merous cases of the most careful cour tesy on tbe part of German soldier. In Brussels they not only paid their cafe bills, but tipped generously. Along the road, when a German officer or soldier entered a Belgian bouae tor too or shelter, It was not with a de mand but a request In spite of the confusion and errors which arose from a strange tongue there waa almost no friction of any sort "The German soldier were punctil iously considerate and polite to wom en and children, apologizing-for the discomfort they were causing.' Upon leaving a house where they have been given shelter, I bave seen them shake hand with the concierge, peasant woman, or In some eases with the gentlewoman or a Belgian villa, aa pleasantly as If tbey were bidding adieu to their hostess at a week-end house party. 'So many instances of this sort are at hand that a recital of them would be tedious. Naturally Inclined to be gruff with their soldiers, the German officers al ways gave the -French prisoners a pleasant word, and treated them with every consideration. Not a single ex ception to this civility toward prison ers hss come to my attention. 'A French lieutenant and two Eng lish officers traveled with ns In the prison train from u Beaumont .. to Aachen, a halting Journey which took over thirty-six hours. The train waa crowded with German wounded and French and English prisoners, and there wa-aothtng to eat of drink. except a few fragments of rye bread, hard as a stone, and a little liquid compound of chicory, which; In Bel gium masquerades under the name of coffee. Since there was not enough even of this disheartening tare to go around, German officer went without food so that the prisoners might be fed. . Aid Owner of Cafe. "In a littles cafe In Beaumont, con cierge and madam had tied before the approach of the soldiers and aban doned their business. - Two officers found them In biding, brought them back, and In a day they had taken In more money than in any previous week In their career. 'These Incident could be Indefinite ly prolonged, but they would only of fer additional support to a point that I think I hav already established the universal kindliness of German soldiers as I bave observed them. I have seen perhaps bait a dosen cases of drunkenness In observing nearly 1,000,000 soldiers, and these few were only good-naturedly maud lin. In Beaumont while I was detained for 24 hour in the (mail cafe, pre viously mentioned, with an armed guard at the door, although specifical ly told that I was not an ordinary prisoner, a swaggering petty officer of some sort, lunged toward me and howed me tbe iharp convincing edge of hi sword, insisting tbat I run my hand across It - Warned to Avoid Drinking. . German discipline snd German training seem to hay put Into the German sol ur an exemplary behavior which I nothing lee than remarkable. Before I fell aaleep on. the floor of the Beaumont cafe,-with two German sol diers' guns slanting almost over me, I beard the petty officer who was in charge of us, giving Instruction to tbe guards, which Included the state ment that any one of ns who stirred outside the door should be shot Then he counseled them, almost in a father ly way to drink only moderately, stat ing that it they became drunk he wonld recommend a sentence- of IS years In the penitentiary. . : : "It the conduct ot the German sol dier errs at all it is on tha slde-of a too complete subordination. It Is Im possible for any one who. has seen much of the German system to be lieve Is the tales ot deliberate depre dations and- unsotdierly conduct." "Our comrades In the eastern army also fought- gallantly, also the army of the crown-prince.. The fourth army, under the duke of Wurtemberg, ad vanced victoriously.

" D Foreign Correspondents in Wash ; ington Worriei . Being Able, tchelsrly and Well Liked, Their, American Colleagues Rs ' ' frsln From Hurting Their Sensibilities. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington. Perhaps the most anxious men in Washington today are the correspondents of foreign news papers sent here by their editors to report tbe doings In this capital of a flrst-class power. There are not many of these men, but each has bis heart engaged, naturally, with tbe cause of the country across ths wster ot which he is a native. Their anxlettea are Increased by the difficulties which they hare In communicating to their Jour nals the Washington: Ttew of the war abroad. It la unqpeetlonsbly true, for one sees it and must know it thst the great preponderance of sympathy In tbe capital, lay and official. Is with the fighters on ons side of this greet European war. It Is true also thst tbe preponderance of sympathy among tbe newspaper correspondents rests with the same cause. It must bs left to tbe readers to guess or to Judgs where the greater fund of sympathy rests. The correspondents ot foreign news papers, men sent here from their home countries, are member of tbe Na tional Press club. American newspa per men, no matter how their sympa thies lie, refrain from expressing them In tbe presence of their foreign news paper brethren. These foreign cor respondents sll ars good fellows, well Mked, and admired for their ability and their scholarship; for the foreign newspaper men for the most part real ly wTe scholar In ths best sense of tbe term. One of the greatest newspapers In all Germany is represented In Wssh- lngton by a native German correspond ent who ha been here for aome year. This writer of -American affairs for German readers Is Dr. George Bar thelme. The German cable waa cut at the very outset ot the war by tha British and there are no malls today reaching German ports. , Doctor Barthelme might be thought in a way to be a man with his occupa tion gone. It Is true that be cannot send his dally dispatches or his dally and weekly letters, but unquestionably he la writing for future reading bis studlee of tbe American attitude in this, great war and to give tbe Ger man view of bow America felt and act ed when Europe was at gripe. Tbe Washington correspondent -of the great London Times Is Arthur Wlllert, a graduate of Oxford and a man who haa served his newspaper In various capitals of Europe. Wlllert's lines of communication with his news paper are not as open aa they were, but he la not handicapped to anything like the extent of his German journal ist brother. . ' .; V'.'.

Qreehlo Picture ef th Artillery Con flict, the Wrecked Village and Aer oplanes Cruising About Ovsr It All. ' By FRANKLIN P. MERRICK, International Newe Service Staff Cor , . respondent. Paris. An English correspondent wbo haa Just returned to Paris gives a lively description of the fighting at Heaux, which is on the Mama (0 miles seat of Paris. He was an eye witness of psrt of ths conflict which centered around Meaux, where th Oerman lines finally gave way and fell back. "I came upon the battle at Meaux with startling suddenness," said ths correspondent "My motor car Bad Just topped a little rise overhanging the town when It was stretched out like a panorama before my eyes. For some time I bad been bearing' the growl of the artillery and knew that the allied forces were In action against ths Germans. I stopped my sutomobils upon the crest and looked upon thrilling scenea. "Behind a piece of thicket I could see troops and far distant along the rang of hills were several batteries of artillery. In the foreground wa a clustsr of cottages surrounded by fields. In the fields were a number of bay stscks, some of which hsd been .set on fire. In another field a number of frightened horse were galloping about. Opposite the Ger man guns, about five or six miles dis tant I should Judge, were several batteries of French artillery. "The day was dear and tbe elouda of white amoks which rolled upward drifted lazily In the npper current. Far overhead and distinct against th un cruised th inevitable Oerman aeroplane. "1 could aee shrapnel bursting la ths air with little clouds of spurting blsck smoks,for the Germane charge their shells with powder which gives off a black smoke so thst they can ascertain where tbe shrapnel are fall ing. I could sea showers of dirt spraying upward where shells rlo- ocbetted on the ground. "German shells were felling In the fields Just beyond Heaux. We could see a long twisting snake-like line of new earth, where the French had thrown up entrenchments. "I pushed onward into the town- How changed It waa from the peace ful, sleepy little French village of a week before. It was desolate and empty. Houses had been burned or wrecked by shells. The .bridge was blown Into a shapeleea mass. Tbe streets wsrs like avenues In a city of the dead. But soon I saw that the town bad not been deserted, for when the chasseurs came clattering through with the Iron-shod hoofs ot their horses ringing upon the- cobbles many a shutter wa cautiously opened and heads peeped forth to see whether the troop were French, English or Uermen. ; "Looking upward, I saw several more aeroplanes, but could not tell whether, they were French or Ger man. I could see shell bursting be neath tne machines and marveled bow tbe gunner could toll whether they were Bring upon Mend or foe. "Curious scenes attend every battle, but one 'of the moat unusual that I witnessed waa In Meaux.: A ahsll tell In the street and tore up a great hole. Dirt and stones rained upon all the buildings In the neighborhood. I passed by Immediately afterward and when some one opened a shutter to look out I caught a -glimpse ot a woman sitting within th room darn ing, as though nothing was hannea- Ing. On all sides of her battle raged; she alone seemed to be calm. "I tried to get Into the fields flank ing Marne to see what waa happening where tbe Infantry and cavalry were believed to be engaged,: but an old man warned me back. 'Hell Itself seems to bar turned loose,' be said. 'I turned and mad - off toward Pari and aa I again passed over th hill tops th sound of the cannoned waa in my ears and th geyser of earth from bursting shells."- Hew Burgomolstsr Max Escsped.
