Bordeaux, Sept, SI. The stories of
outrages by the German armies fol
lowing their occupation of northern
and eastern France have been made
public here! The minister of the in-1
terior SftBLimed "responsibility for these
charge," which were in every case
based on official reports.
At Lille, a German lieutenant and
soldier assaulted and throttled the
prefect, M. Treapoy, and his secretary,
M. Borrowee. In the prefecture. They
were badly mauled and then were or
dered shot. Both men were blind
folded and conducted before a firing
squad. At the lat moment however,
the German officer changed his mind
and ordered them released.
At Luneville. in the department
of Meurthe-et-Moselle, the Germans
burned 100 houses, including the pre
fecture and pillaged many of the prin
cipal establishments. They occupied
the town three weeks and levied a
tax of 1120,000 on the Inhabitants.
They compelled the shutting down of
V gas and electric lighting plants and
confiscated all of the petroleum in
the town.
Hostages Were Held.
The mayor and two of the leading
citizens were held as hostages under
the threat that if anything of an anti
German nature took place they would
be executed. They were held for 10
lays and then released and from that
time on. the Germans seized four other
citizens every two days, holding them
that length of time and then turning
them loone.
At Arras, in the department of Pas
de, Calais, many' houses were broken
into and there was much pillaging
The French wounded were ordered
from the hospitals and compelled to
walk to Cam bra I with the doctors and
Iced Crofts nurses, all surrounded by
the German soldiers.
Following a most important con
ference at the war office, participated
in by General i'au, who made a rapid
run from the - front and the chief of
thi officers of the general staff. It
was stated that there was no material
change In the situation. It was em
phasised that the battle will continue
along the present lines, and confident
claims of a flriiil victory for the al
lies were made by the war minister.

"OuY lines everywhere are holding."
said the minister. "We realize that it
would be suicidal to attempt to carry
the main German entrenched positions

been heavy, but because of the dtf

"Despite the terrible rains, the spirit
of our. troops continues to be a credit
to France. The officers still have dif
ficulty in restraining their men. who
want to use the bayonet to break the
German lines and who show the ut
most contempt for German rifle fire.
We arc doing everything possible to

re far better off than the Germans.

Whether or not this ought to have

British, the anti-militarists assert that
Ms suppression of so important a
piece of information, assuming it to
be correct naturally lays Sir Edward
open to the suspicion of having dealt
disingenuously with his countrymen
in other matters as well. Opponents of
the war have been pretty effectually
kept under thus far by the overwhelm
ing majority against them, but it was
understood that when parliament
meets, again In October an attempt will
be made to go more deeply into the
foreign of f ice s handling of the trans
actions preceding the final break with
Germany.
Mexico's Affair Remembered.
In connection with comment rela
tive to Sir Edward's management of
recent European international affairs,
his enemies have been recalling the
fact that he was a strong supportet
of Sir Lionel Carden at a time when
the latter, as British minister to Mex
ico, threatened seriously to strain re
lations With the United States by the
backing ne gave to Dictator Huerta,
presumably on account of the dic
tator's friendliness to the British Pear
son oii interests.
Nor would Sir Lionel have modified
his attitude, it has been asserted, had
hot Premier Asquith, alarmed by the
feeling the foreign office's doings was
stirring up in the United States, pub
licly repudiated Its policy or, rather,
declared that what was known to be
its policy was not its policy and com
pelled the adoption of adifferent one.
Incidental to the arraignment of Sir
Edward's foreign office methods, it
was Intimated that Canadian members
of parliament had questions to ask
concernlng the published statements
that native troops were being, or had
been, brought from India to help the
allies in France, "at India's expense."
Those who find fault with this ac
tion express the opinion that the peo
ple of India have no personal interest'
whatever in the past European strug
gle, and that it is outrageous to bur
den them with any part of the expense
of it
