The first section, headed Massacre at Tamines describes how this place, which ** was ** rich and populous village, situated on the Bambre, between Charleroi and Namur, was occupied on August 21st by the Germans after some fighting with

the French.

About eight o'clock the movement of troops stopped, and the soldiers penetrated into the houses, drove out the inhabitants, set themselves to sack the place, and then burnt it. The unfortunate peasants who stopped in the village were shot; the rost fled from their houses. The greater part of them were arrested either on the night- of August 21st or on the following morn log. Pillage and burning continued all next day (ud)...

MACHINE-PUN FIRE ON A CHOWD...

The officer ordered his men to fire. There had been no inquiry nor any pretence of a trial, About twenty of the inhabitants were only wounded, but fell among the dead. The soldiers, to make sure, fired a How volley into the heap of them. Several citizens escaped this double discharge. They shanimed dead for more than two hours, remaining motionless among the corpses, and when night fell succeeded in saving themselves in the hills. Eighty-four corpses were left on the square, and buried in a neighbouring garden.

EVERY MAN SHOT."

The day of August 23rd was made bloody by several more massacres. Soldiers dis- covered some inhabitants of the Falbourg St. Pierre in the cellars of a brewery there and shot them..

Since the previous evening a crowd of

About six o'clock in the oven- ing these unhappy people made up their minds to come out of their refuge, and defiled all trembling from the cellars with the white flag in front. They were

A German detachment opened fire on them, but as the shooting was a slow business the officers ordered up a machine gun, which soon wept off all the unhappy peasants still left standing. Many of them were only wounded, and, hoping to save their lives, got with difficulty on their feet again. They were immediately shot down. Many wounded still lay among the corpses Groans of pain and cries for help were heard in the bleeding heap.

Every man was shot on the spot. Almost: all the men of the Faubourg do Leffe wete executed en masse. In another part of the town twelve civilians wore killed in o cellar. In the Rue en Ile a paralytic was shot in his armchair. In the Rue Enior crawling away, Others put an end the soldiers killed a young boy of fourteen, their own pain by rolling themselves into the neighbouring river.

All the facts have been established by depositions made by wounded men who succeeded in escaping. About a hundred bodies were found in the river,

Next day, Sunday, the 23rd, about six o'clock in the morning, another party consisting of prisoners made in the village and neighbourhood, were brought into the square. One of them makes the following deposition t

BURYING THE DEAD,

On reaching the square, the first thing that we saw was a inass of bodies of civilians extending over at least forty vards in length by six yards in depth They had evidently been drawn up in rank to be shot. We were placed before this range of corpses, and were convinced that we, too, were to be shot.

In the Faubourg de Neffe an old woman and all her children were killed in their cellar. A man of sixty-five yours, his wife, his son, and his daughter were shot against a wall. Other inhabitants of Neffe were laken in a barge as far as the reck of woman of eighty-three and her husband. Bayard and shot there, among them at

A TERRIBLE SUMMARY.

To sum up, the town of Dinant is destroyed. It counted 1,400 houses; only 200 remain. The inauufactories where the artisan population worked have been Rather more systematically destroyed, than 700 of the inhabitants have been killed; others have been taken off to Germany, and are still retaired there ne prisoners. The majority are refuges A few cattered all through Belgium. who remained in the town are dying of ounger. It has been proved by our inquiry that German soldiers, while exposed to the fire of the French entrenched on the opposite bank of the Meuse, in certain cases sheltered themselves behind a line of civilians, wome, and children.

BUNS ON THE MARCH.

An officer then came forward and asked for volunteers to dig trenches to bury these corpses. I and my brother-in-law and certain others offered ourselves. We were conducted to a neighbouring field at the side of the square, where they made us dig a trench fifteen yards long by ten broad and two deep. By the time hat the trenches were finished it was about noon. They then gave us some planke, on which we placed the corpses and so carried them to the trench. I recognised many of the persons whose bodies we were burying Actually fathers buried the bodies of their sons and sons the bodies of their fathers The women of the village had been marched on into the squaro, and saw us at ourable treatment. Certain hostages were work. All round were the burnt houses,

The more the afternoon drew on The more they drank, and the more we were disposed to think that we were probably to be shot, too. Wo buried from 350 to 400. bodies. A list of the names of the victims has been drawn up, and will have been given to you (the Commissioner).

LIVING MAN BURIED.

While some of us were carrying the corpses along I saw a case where they had stopped and called to a German doctor, They had noticed that the man whom they were conveying was still alive. The doctor examined the wounded man and made a sign that he was to be buried with the rest. The plank on which he was lying was borne on again, and I saw the wounded man raise his arm elbow-High. They called to the door again. but he made a gestare that he was to go into the trench with the others.

The third section deals with outrages in the province of Belgian Luxembourg, and states that the passage of the German troops was marked by the worst excesses.

In every village occupied the Germans systemically arrested hostages. The treat ment of them varied much. In certain places they were not seriously maltreated. in others they were subjected to abomin

treatment.

In almost every locality plunder was systematically complete. The soldiers did not content themselves with wizing food, cattle, horses, for which they had need, and for which they gave no vouchers of requisition, but took away From the houses all that they chose. The number of bottles of wine stolen was innumerable. The first are of the soldiers on arriving in a village was to ask for wine and spirits. Soon they got drunk, and scenes of cruelty, cendiarism, and promiscuous shooting inmediately followed.
