Murder, lust, and pillage on a scale unparalleled in wars between civilized nations during the last three centuries is alleged against (lermaiiy in Belgium in the report of the ltritisji government commission, headed by Viscount .lames liryce, on sale by the Muc'Millnn company today. The report rehearses the atrocities cited by the llelgium commission and explains in detail that the proof fur. nished convinced tho British investi gators that Iho charges were true. Many of the outrages are declared to have been due to drunkenness on tho part of (lerinnn soldiers nrsnn, and destruction as reprisals -or attacks by civilians. The report cited cases of (lerinnn soldiers being killed for at tacking women. Summing up the "proven charges" the report reached tho following conclusions: "In many parts of Belgium there wore deliberate and systematically or ganized mussncves of civilians, accom panied by Isolated murders and out I luges. In tho conduct of the war iren- ernlly, innocent civilians, both men and women were murdered In large numbers, women were violated and children murdered. "Looting, burning and wanton de struction wns ordered and countenanced j by officers. Elaborate provisions were 'made, for systematic incendiarism at the very outbreak of the war. Burning ; nud destruction were freouent where I no military necessity could be attached being a part of the system of general I lorrorization. I "b'ules and usages of warfare were j freipientlv broken, particularly by us nig civilians, ini'lii'liug women and clnl. dren, as a shield for advancing forces nnd to a less degree by killing wounded prisoners and ficqucnt abuse of the Hod Cross ami white flag.
