Washington German propagandists liavo Hooded Spain with n document printed In Spanish, warning neutral nations of the frlglitftilnoss they may expect If they align thuuisclvcs with the allies In the wnr. A translation made public by the Mute depnrUnent follows: "Besides nn untold amount of wur material, ruptured on the buttlellold, the Germans hnvo taken possession tf inctilculnhle booty lu rranco and Belgium, Including: "High grade watches, 417; avorago watches, fi.OlO; underwear, 18.078; rinbroldorles and women's hundUer thlefs, loVKIU; umbrellas and parasols, l,7(K ; silver spoons, 1,870; bottles of thampugno, fi'J.'I.OOO. "These figures show n largo In trease over those of the campulKn ipnlnst France lu 1870-71. "In Belgium, besides many art treasures, they have conlW'nted old paintings valued at K.OOO.OOO posetas. "Duo to the treachery of Cardinal Mercler and other priests, who did their utmost to stir the priests against Uio gond-honrtod German soldiers, they were-forced to teach a severe lesson to the Belgian and French Catholics. "Cathedrals destroyed, -I; renderod unserviceable, S; churches destroyed, 27; rendered unserviceable, .11. To lal. Til. "In Poland also, a largo number of churches bnve been destroyed for mllltnry reasons. The figures con cerning these have not yet been pub lished. "As a result of the stupid stubborn ness of the Belgian people In con tinuing the struggle after their bloody nml Until defeat on the battlefield, tho German ofllcers were forced against their will to Impose punishments on many rich Individuals and wealthy cities. "This has contributed the following amounts to Germnn treasury: "Punishments, 87,000,000 pesetas; ecurlty, lil.OOO.dOO pesetas; reprisals, 15,750,000 pesotus; forced contribu tions, 4'I20,850 pesetas.

"This amount Includes a fine of 15,000 pesetas imposed on the Alsn ttan children who Insist on speaking the French language and refuso to study the beautiful German language.

"That Is to say, tho English have practically pledged themselves to re turn tho German colonies after the war In exchange for tho evacuation land Indemnification of Belgium. The KJormans, therefore, aro to recover all 'that they have lost In Africa. "More than 50,000 British hnveboen knado prisoners. Although to theso fig tiros the I lih oppose 124,800 Ger mnn prlwiiH.N taken by thorn on tlia itoostern front, It must be remembered the English treat prisoners with not able kindness (blandura notoria), .while tho regime Imposed on tho Eng lish prisoners by the Germnns Is one 'of extreme rigor; so that tho Germnn" with a small number of prisoners have secured a much superior moral effect. Besides, to tho 2,20-1 ofllcers and 51,32.1 noldlcrs must be ndded the several thousand English prisoners that hnv! tiled In consequence of disease, sennty food and other accidents n Germnn concentration camps.
