SCATHING RETORT TO GERMAN PROFESSORS.
The Press Bureau last month issued the sixth report of the Belgian Commission of Enquiry on the Violation of the Rules of the Rights of Nations, and of the LawS and Customs of War. The document consists of a series of proclamations, issued in Belgium by the German Governors and Generals, which are pub- lished in reply to a protest sent to foreign Universities by the lectors of twenty-two German Universities, and for the edifica tion of the public conscience."".
The protest which twenty-two German Universities have sent to foreign Universi- ties against the accusations brought against the German troops begins as follows:

All the inhabitants of occupied houses in the localities must return to their houses at nightfall (which is now at 7 pia German time).
Any resistance to orders will be punished by death The commandant must not meet with any hindrance during his domiciliary visits. People are requested to show all the rooms of the house without being ordered to,
The Burgomasters must propero lists of persons who will be hold as hostages for twenty-four hours each at Fort Fléron. The life of these hostages depends on the population remaining quiet in any circum

If the substitute is not there at the correct time, the hostage must remain another twenty-four hours at the fort After these twenty-four hours the hostage will incur the penalty of death if Le substitute has not arrived.
RESPECT TO HUNG!
You all, who know that our armg is not. an army of mercenaries, that it comprises the whole nation from the first to the last man, that it is led by the best of our country's sons, that at this hour thousands of professors and students are falling as officers or soldiers on the battlefields of Franco or Russia, you who have read and heard the spirit in which and the success with which our youth is instructed and brought up, who know how much we inculcate respect and admiration for the. masterpieces of the human brain, what ever the country to which it belongs, we ask you all to be our witnesses and to say if what our enemies report is true, and if it is correct that the German army is a horde of barbarians and a band of ingen-every means, tra diaries who take pleasure in killing innocent persons and destroying villages and the monuments of art and history; and if you will respect the truth you will be convinced with us that where the German troops have had to accomplish work of destruction, they acted according to the pitiless laws of defence in war.

The Meharaja was represented by Colonel Sir David Barr, a member of the Council of India, who together with Mr. George Glass Hooper, the agent of his Highnese, was present ed to their Majesties by Colonel Sin James Dunlop Smith, Political. Aide-de Cap to the Secretary of State for India. Sir David Barr informed has Majesty, that he was present undor instructions from the Maharaja to convey this Christ mas gift to be devoted to the use of the wounded sailors and soldiers of his Majesty's forecs. The King signified his aceptance of the gift, and expressed his appreciation of the kind thought and generosity which prompted it, thoroughly and inquired particularly into Thoir Majestice examined the cars

Whan the representatives of the Maharaja took their leave the King informed them of his intention to telegraph his thanks personally to his Highness.

There is not one fact mentioned in them of which it cannot furnish proof. There are, besides, docu- ments the authentic character of which the German Universities would not think of contesting.

THREAT TO LIEGE
The following is an extract of a pro clamation issued on August 22nd by "You Bülow, General Commanding-in-Chief," to the Communal authorities of the town of Liego
The inhabitants of the town of Andenne, after having protestod their peaceful inten- tions, made a treacherous surprise attack on our troops. It was with my consent that the General had the whole place burnt down, and about 100 people shot. I bring this fact to the knowledge of the town of Liège, so that its inhabitants may know the fate with which they are threatened, if they take up a similar attitude.
Commenting on this, the Report says: "In reality more than 400 persons have disappeared, more than 200 were shot. Everything is more or less destroyed. For a distance of about eight miles all the houses were burnt down." It is also stated that the inhabitants deny that they attack- ed the Germans.
