“The American newspapers have
published extracts from a German
White book, in which the German
Government accuhes the Belgian civ-
ilian population of having risen en
senses and taken arms against the in
Waders, and of having organized corps

eminent also claims, in this docu-
ment, that_the Belgian Government

population. and alleges ihat:Belgium's
accufitions against the Germany army

“At the beginning of the war, the
Belgian Government issued the follow-
ing proclamations, the text of which
was areproduced among the docu-
ments published by the Belgian Com-
mission of Inquiry:
“LIA circular of 'Mr. Berryer, Min-
ister of the‘interlor, addressed, under
date or Aug. 4th, 1914, simultaneously
to 2.700 communes of Belgium, by tel-
egraph, reminding the populationthat
acts bf hostility against the invader
werereserved exclusively to the may,
the Givil Guard, and «corps of Volun-
teers regularlypgganized. Portions of
this circular are borrowed textually
from the Hague Convention, such, for
exemplars the portion concerning
the popu ation of a territory spontan-
eously taking up arms on the approach
of the invaders, which faithfully re-
produces article 21,97 :Ithe' Regulations.
annexed to The Hague Convention.

inserted daily in the newspapers and
publicly posted in the larger part, if
not in all, of lathe communes of the,
country in the early part of August.
This notice advised the civilian pop-
ulatlon to ‘abstain carefully from any
act of hostility against the foreign
troops,’ and characterized as both,
‘crimlnal' and ‘imprudent' ‘and act of:
violence committed by .a single civllfi
ian.‘
“In the majority of communes. the
local authorities repeated this cfliciai
warning in the form of notices ori

not produce any proofs to suDDIOlI't its
statements.
“We find ourselves, therefore, con-
fronted by two alternatives: 0n the
one hand, we have: '
“i. The solemn: declaration of the
Belgian Government guaranteed by
the good faith of that Government of, ‘ I
which it gave proof when, on amount i-
of respect for its pliehted wgi'd, it
refused to violate a treaty which Bel-
gium had signed and chose the hor-
rors of war rather than the breaking
of its pledge. Those declarations are.
supportedLnot only by this moral
guarantee, but also by striking evi-
dence. oi; as the :6ch ploclsma-

containing the notices published by

placards, and the declarations of car-
dinal Mercier.
“2. The evidence collected by the I
