It is to my very great regret that the German troops find tlieinselvek com pelled to cross the Belgian frontier. They aro acting under the constraint of an unavoidable necessity, Belgium's neutrality having been violated by French ofiieers, who, in disguise, crossed Belgian territory by motor ear in order to make their way into Ger many. Belgians ! It is my greatest wish that there may still be a way of avoiding a con liict between two nations which have hitherto been friends, and at one time even allies. Remember tho glorious days of Wa terloo, where German arms played their part in founding and establishing the independence and prosperity of your country. But we must have a free passage. The destruction of bridges, of tunnels and of railways will have to be looked upon as hostile acts. Belgians ! It is for you to choose ! I hope the German Army of the Meuse will not be forced to fight you. A free passage for attack is all we desire. I give formal pledges to the Belgian population thnt it will have nothing to suffer from the horrors of war, that we will ptly in gold for the provisions that must be taken from the country, and that our soldiers will prove them selves the best of friends to a people for whom we feel the highest esteem and the greatest sympathy. It rests with your good sense and with an In telligent patriotism to save your coun try from the horrors of war. The Gt'neral Commanding the Army of the Meuse. VON EMM ICH. [This proclamation was distributed by the German army among the Belgian civil population on August 4. 1914. This was the day they violated Belgian neutrality, and they still hoped that the Belgian army would offer no resistance. At War sage, the village where this proclamation had been scattered by the Uhlans, 3 civ ilians were shot, 6 hanged, 9 others killed In various ways, and 35 houses were burnt down.] ORDER To the People of Liege. The population of Andenne, after making a display of peaceful inten tions towards our troops, attacked them in the most treacherous manner. With my authorization, the general commanding these troops has reduced the town to ashes and has had 110 persons shot. 1 bring this fact to the knowledge of the people of Liege in order that they may know what fate to expect should they adopt a similar attitude. Liege, 22d August, 1914. GENERAL VON BULOW. [Two hundred and flfty civilians—men, women and children—were killed by the Germans at Andenne on August 2«} and 21, 1914, and 50 at Seilles on the opposite bank of the Meuse. A hundred and fifty three houses were burnt at Seiiles, and 37 at Andenne. As a warning to Biege, the killings at Andenne were superfluous, for on the night of August 20 the Germans had burned 55 houses at Giege and killed 29 civilians.] NOTICE TO THE POPULATION. On the 25th of August, 1914, inhabi tants of Luneville made an attack by ambush on German columns and am munition trains. On the same day in habitants also fired on ambulances bearing the Red Cross. Shots were also fired on German wounded and ou a military hospital containing a Ger man ambulance unit. On account of these acts of hostility an indemnity of 650,000 francs is im posed on the commune of Luneville. The mayor is ordered to pay over this sum on the Cth of September, 1914. at nine o'clock in the morning, to the representative of the German military authorities. Fifty thousand francs of the payment must be made in spe cie. All appeals will be considered null and void. No postponement will be granted. If the commune does not punctually execute the order to pay this sum of 650.000 francs, all goods that can be distrained upon will lie seized. In case of non-payment, house-to house visits will be made and all the I j ! j I j ! I inhabitants will he searched. Any per son who has deliberately concealed money or tried to withhold goods from seizure by tin* military authorities, or who attempts to leave the town, will be shot. The mayor and the linstag* s taken by tin* military authorities wili bo niade responsible for the exa<*t oxecu tion of the above orders.

They are absolutely forbidden to leave their houses at night under any cir eumstances whatever. Whoever attempts to leave the place, by night or day, upon any pretext whatever, will be shot. Potatoes can only be dug with the commandant's consent and under mil itary supervision. The German troops have* orders to carry out these directions strictly, by sentinels and patrols, who an* author ized to fire on anyone departing from these directions. THE GENERAL COMMANDING. [These restrictions imposed upon the people of Luneville are the Oferman staff's ideal of the state to which conquered peo ples should he reduced.] NOT TO BE REMOVED. German Military Authorities. The mayor of the town of Luneville officially requests the inhabitants, un der the sanction of the most severe penalties, to abstain from making any signals to airplanes or other details of the French army. It would be very imprudent, even out of simple curiosity, to follow too attentively the maneuvers of the air craft that fly over Luneville, or to try to communicate with the French out posts. The immediate steps to enforce this, which would he taken by Colonel Lidi, commandant of the communications depot, would consist in the seizure of a considerable number of hostages from the working class as well as from the middle class. In order to prevent or repress crim inal behavior in war time, as well as to insure the security of the German troops and the civil population, the special police .stations flying a white flag are to receive day and night all communications which may be ad dressed to them on this subject. The Mayor of Luneville, KELLER. [In this proclamation the mayor of Lune ville is made to warn his fellow-citizens against rendering any assistance to their own national forces. The threat tit take hostages in case of disobedience was un derlined. To be seized as a hostage in tlie invaded districts of Belgium and France was almost equivalent to a sen tence of death.] NOTICE TO THE POPULATION. In order sufficiently to insure the safety of our troops and the tran quillity of the population of Reims, the persons mentioned have been seized as hostages by the commander of the German army. These hostages will be shot If there Is the least disorder. On the other hand, if the town re mains perfectly calm and quiet, these hostages and inhabitants will be placed under the protection of the German army. THE GENERAL COMMANDING. Reims, 12th September, 1914. NOTICE. The persons mentioned below were condemned by the tribunal of the council of war and shot this same day at the citadel, namely: Eugene Jacquet, wholesale wine mer chant. Ernest Deconinck, sub-lieutenant. Georges Maertens, tradesman. Sylvere Verhulst, workman. 1. For having concealed the English aviator who alighted at Wattignies on th<> 11th of last March—-for having giv en him shelter and facilitated his pas sage to France, so that he was able to return to the enemy's lines. 2. For having maintained and assist ed members of the enemy army who, after discarding their uniform, re mained in Lille and its suburbs, and having enabled them to escape into France. By the proclamation of the governor, of the 7th April, 1915, these two cases, being considered as espionage, are brought to tiie knowledge of the public in order that they may serve as a warning. THE GOVERNOR. Lille, 22d September, 1915. [Espionage is punishable with death— that is a commonly acknowledged rule of military law. But there are other serv ices which the civil population of an oc cupied territory may perform for their allies and fellow'-countrvmen under arms, which are absolutely distinct from espion age. of infinitely less danger to the occu pying power. The Germans wished to punish these acts of service with the ex treme penalty. They therefore "consid ered them as espionage.''] j I i j j i j I PROCLAMATION.

Tlie Governor of tlie City, GENERAL VON BLSSINO. Brussels, 12th October, 1915. [Treason means t lie* opposite of patriot ism, but the German word "war-treason" means loyalty to patriotism at tiie risk of one's life.

To reduce tlie misery, the German authorities have recently asked for volunteers to go and work in the coun try. This offer has not had the suc cess that was expected. In consequence of this, the inhabi tants will he deported by order and removed into'toe country. Persons de ported will he sent to the interior (tf the occupied territory in Fran«', far behind the front, where they will be employed in agricultural labor, and not in any military work whatever. By this measure they will be given tlie opportunity of providing better for their subsistence. In case of necessity provisions can be obtained through the German de pots. Every person deported will be allowed to take with him 30 kilo grammes of luggage (household uten sils. clothes,.etc), which they will be well advised to make ready at once. I order, therefore, that no one may, until further order, change his place of residence. No one may absent himself from his legally declared resi dence from 9.0 p. m. to 6.0 a. m (Ger man time), unless he is in possession of a permit in due form. Inasmuch as this is an irrevocable I measure, it is in the interest of the population itself to remain calm and obedient. THE COMMANDANT. Lille, April, 1916. [This proclamation was followed up by the deportation of 25.000 French civilians from the towns of Boubaix, Tureoitig and Lille.
