SEI1DS MYSTERIOUS PAPER OF BRUSSELS APPEARS Germans Make Vain Attempts to Suppress It NAMED LIBRE BELIGQUE Prints Things the Germans Guard With the Ut most Care. (By Internationa) News Service.) Paris, Jan. 25. From Brussels the news leaks out that in spite of the thousands of German spies in the city the "Libre Beliguue" has succeeded in publishing new issue. The boldne&s and wonderful ten acity of the mysterious Belgian pa triots who continue, in spite of every thing, to publish their daring paper, form an amusing and amazing side to the war. . The Germans as soon as they had entered Brussels took possession of all the newspapers. The so-called Bel gian papers published by the Kom snandantur were is reality merely Ger man sheets printed in French. Very soon afterward the "Libre Belgique"ppeared. Who w t'n editor. Where ,t prlntt N LM eve been' able to find Out, hut it has bad and still has the cour age to print all the things which the Germans want to remain unknown. Until now it has appeared in about sixty issues, that ig to say almost weekly, and it has published documen- tary broofs of the German misdeeds, has criticised German bullelirus of victories, and has prophesied from the start the inevitable downail of Ger many. In the most merciless manner It teases the conquerors, it stimulates the Kclgians, gives publicity to the thousands of little tricks which the inexpressible street urchin of liru.s sels play on the Germans, and flays the Kaiser, the military governor and the German generals in every issue. Von Biasing himself still receives a special copy with exasperating reg ularity, and invariably the governor finds it on top of all the other papers on his desk. It is as if a Belgian Ku-Klux Clan were at work. Recently the Jesuit College of St. Michei and the Redemptorist convent of Jette were thoroughly searched. Several persons were arrested, sus pected of being connected with the paper, but all bad to be released again. The governor first promised a prize f 2b, 000 francs (S,000) to any per son who would betray the names of the editors and publishers, and the prize was raised te 50,000 (SlO.uoO) and then to 75,000 francs (J15,000), but in taia. The following story appeared in one of the recent issues of the paper, copies of which even reach Paris: It reprints the story told by the fa mous Knglish war "correspondent, Rus feil of die "Times," who followed the I'nisstan army in 1870, about the de struction of the Chateau of Saint Cloud. Russell visited the chateau with a German officer named Strautz. A few moments before the chateau wy ifl nllrc, Strautz exclaimvd: ' rent U men, I nm the Inst comman l:ir t i f S.,ir.t Cloud. Cor the very !a.-l time we w ill visit the nngniti-: tent a p. r' merit. Wo will throw a I last gasaee at them, aad in order that they may forever remain in our memory we will each take along a souvenir. Take whatever you want wines, paintings, or hooks, whatever you like." . Kusscll adds: "I went inside with Lieutenant Von Hissing and Major Von Glass and when they saw that I carried away nothing they insisted that I must do so. I explained to them that my position was different and that I could not take what had nut been offered to me. "Then you ought to have seen what happened. From all sides gifts pour ed in on me, gifts so magnificent that it would take the author of the Ara bian nights to describe them." The "Libre Rclgique" identifies this Von Hissing as" the present governor of Belgium, who was born in 18 U and who served as a lieutenant in the Prussian army in 1S70.
