STORIES OF GERMAN ATROCITY BELGIUM RELATED IN LETTER i Nuns Said to Have Been' Driven Out of Burning Hos-i pitals by Invaders, MONKS HANGED TO 'TREES niffht of Thousands of Kfnffs Wlo j Wr in Ta&r of Death Xa Vividly Described, ' Btorfes of German atrocity In Bel-! rlum previous to the capture of Ant werp are told in a letter received yes terday by Mrs. Josef Gossens, of Port land, from her niece, Mrs. Marie Vor breyt, written at St. Nikolas, Belsium, j on September 28. i How. nuns were driv en from burning hospitals, dragging' th sick after them, how monks were hanged to trees and speared with bay onets, now people . were wantonly slaughtered for no offense whatever, ar told in the quaint Flemish dialect of th letter. Mrs. Vorbreyt wrote of hundreds and hundreds of refugees crfming to St. Nikolas from the nearby cities that had been captured by ttie Germans That It was a case of flight or death was declared by all. "When the people see the Germans coming, they flew from their homes," wrote Mrs. Vorbreyt. "When the Ger mans met the people, they shot them. If they did" not fly from their homes they were murdered in their houses. Kspeially. the women and Rlrls. The monasteries and convents have been confiscated to the uses of the Germans. The beautiful cities of Liege and Lou vain have been laid waste by fire. While Louvain was burning, one, of the German officers ordered a piano brought Into the middle of the street, where It was played, the Germans dancing around it while the people were running, weeping, , from their burning homes. M&ny Homn Borneo. "In Dlnant. many houses were burned also. An officer of the bank was shot dead because he refused to allow the Invaders to examine the letters in the safe. They took also his 17-year-old son and stood him against a wall with 250 others and shot them all; "A father and his son, after they had obeyed a German order to pick clover for the officers' horses, were shot. "A blacksmith in a little town of Belgium was ordered by a party of German cavalry to shoe the horses. The thanks he received for doing this work was the chopping off of both his hands. "In another town, the Germans took i me priest out of a small church and ( hung him up on the bell. The bell was then swung violently, so that the priest's head was beaten to a duId against the belfry wall, the blood and vruins spattering tne stones. "I saw a monk taken from his clois ter, hanged to a tree and pierced with spears, while seven of his companions were obliged to stand and witness the act. on pain of similar punishment. "From Meklin. the people nearly all fled to SL Nikolas, for the second time. Baby Was Wounded. "All looked sorrowful and tannr. with hardly enuogh clothes to cover them. I one or the women refugees came here, with her baby badly wounded, a bullet fired by the Germans having pene trated its arm. One woman was forced to flee, though her little child was dying and "the carried it with her as he fled. 'In Dendermonde. the Gtrmana burned a hospital, first ordering the sisters to leave it. The sister supe rior refused, declaring she and the nuns would remain with the sick in their csre, but would not leave them there to burn. The German officer then ordered them to leave and carry the rick with them. When they had done this, the hospital waa destroyed. The Germans offered no aid to the sick who were carried outside, and the sisters threw wet sheets and blankets over them to keep the heat from their faces. In every city where the Germans come, they do tha same thing. The Germans say all this is the fault of the people, but that Is not o. It is a lie. "Now, deer uncle and aunt, I hope you will Join us in praying' the dear God to abate this horror and this mur der of our people."
