NEW YORK, Sept. 19. Adolph
Ton Bruenlng, former secretary to the
Germany embassy at Washington,
who is now at Genoa, Italy, has sent
to a relative here the lollowing com
munication from Dr. Alfred Zimmer
man, GoriTian iintler-serretary of for
eign affairs, with the information
that the German government re
quested that it be given publicity:
"BERLIN. Aug. :;.. (Official
Communication of the Gorman Gen
eral Staff.) The city of Loewen
(Louvain) has surrendered and was
given over to us by the Belgian au
thorities. On Monday. August 2 4,
eome of our trooi.a were shipped
there, and intercourse with the In
habitants was developing quite
friendly.
Rill- rirr Onrns.
"On Tuesday afternoon, Aupust afi, our
troop, hearing about an Imminent Bol
tian sortie from Antwerp. H-M In that
direction, the commanding general ahead
in a motor car leaving behind only a
colonel with soldiers to protect railroad
(Landsturm battalion 'Xeuss.') A the
rest of the commanding general's staff
with the horses was going to follow and
collected on the market place, suddenly
rifle fire opened from all the surround
ing houses, all the hora.s tielug killed
end five officers wounded, one of them
seriously.
"Simultaneously fire opened at about
ton different plaoes in town, also on
Home of our troops just arrived and
waiting on the square in front of the
titatlon and on Incoming military trains..
A designed co-operation with tho Bel
, -"tan sortie from Antwerp was established
beyond doubt. Two priests caught In
handing out ammunition to the people
were shot at once In front of the sta
tion. Town Barnlnig.
"Street f tenting lasted till Wednesday,
August 26, in the afternoon (twenty-four
Jiours) when stronger forces arrived In
he meantime, succeeding in getting the
Upper hand. Town and northern suburb
vera burning at different places and by
this time have probably burned down al
together. "On the part of the PelRlHti government
ti general rising of the population against
the enemy had bprn organized for a
Jens time; depots of arms were found,
where to eacli gun was ntt..rhcd the
name of the citizen to be armed.
"A spontaneous rising of the people has
teen recognized at the request of the
smaller states at The Hague conference
as being within the law of nations as
Jar as weapons are carried openly and
the laws of civilized warfare are being
observed; but such rising was only ad
mitted In order to fight tho attacking
enemy.
Had Alrradr Surrendered.
"In the case of Lopwca. tc town had
Iready surrendered and the population
jubm'.tted without ouy resistance, the
town being occupied by our troops.
JCevertheless the population attacked on
ell sides and with a inurdero'iH fire the
occupying forces and newly arriving
troop, which came In trains and auto
I mobiles, considering tho hitherto peace
, (ul attitude of the population.
"Therefore, there can be no question

Antwerp n arms were not tarried openly,
ea women and young girls took part in
the fight and blinded our wounded, stick
ing their eyes out.
Justifies Severe Methods.
"The barbarous attitude of the Bel
gian population in all parts occupied by
our troops has not only justified our
severest measures, but forced them on
sis for the sake of self preservation. The
Intensity of the resistance of the popula
tion la shown by the fact that In Laewen,
twenty-four hours were necessary to
lireakjdown their attack. We ourselves
regretl deeply that during these fights the
town Tif Loewen has been destroyed to
great extent. Needless to say that
these consequences are not intentional on
our part but cannot be avoided in this
Infamous Frunctlreur war being led
gainst us.
"The. entire responsibility for thesa
i events rests with the Belgian govern
' tnent, who with cr'mlnal frivolity, have
given to the Belgian people Instructions
eontraray to the law of nations and in
1 cited their res'etunrc, and who, In spite
of our repeated warnings, "even after the
fall of Luttlch ll.iegei have done nothing
.to induce .them to a peaceful attitude."

PEKING, Sept. 20. The government has
Instituted severe measures designated as
martial law, in several provinces and
many Important cities. The discovery
that rebels in the capital were expected

many executions, according to Chinese re

BUCUXJNK, Sert. 19. (Special Cable
gram.) The general position Is stationary
today.
Forcing the Germans out of their strong
defensive position Is a question, of time
and endurance.
The French and British havs the advan
tage of position from the point of view
of getting up reinforcements by rail. Still
it is difficult to say whether the Hermans
are fighting a stubborn rear-guard action
or if It Is Intended to hold the present
lines.
The region north of the German lines
is a region of vasue skirmishing The
Germans are occupying the towns and
villages near the front with small patrols
or armored cars, but on the whole they
are contracting their web.
Lille is free and elthef array can use
it as a base. The Cmnliral neighborhood
is still German and on the line of com
munications. This country Is absolutely
peaceful for the moment. We can but
wait for the Iksuc of tyc long struggle on

Depends on Kest.
Of the greateNt valu wouid be the suc
cess of the French in penetrating the line

Any success on our left would be
valuable only as it would force back Von

rttreat to new positions on the "frontier
without successfully defeating their com
bined armies. A success on our right
would imperil fhelr whole line and cut

FALSE STORY OF MOVEMENT
OF RUSSIANS ACCOUNTED FOR
LONDON, Sept. 1!.-Siue the official
denial that any Russian troops hud.
passed through F.nglish territory for
France. isMied a few days ago by tlie
war office, efforts have Ix-en made to as
certain the cause of the persistent re
ports that a Russian army nas been
moved from Archangel to the Bi-ottish
coast and thence across the channel to
Points in Belgium and northern France.
According to a high government offl
cial these reports probably had their
source In the fact that a number of Kus
slan officers detailed for staff and ob
servation duty with the French and F.ng
lish army in the field, passed through
nKland accompanied by their orderlies
and servants, all in uniform. It la b
lieved that villagers in Scotland Caught
sight of thcae Russians In uniform strange
to the country folk and thus arose the
widespread report of a Kusslan troop
movement in this country.

ROTTERDAM, Sept. 7 (Correspondence
of The Associated rress.) Of the Ger
man uhlans, of whom so much had been
heard In the European war, Liuigl Barslnl,
a widely known Italian war correspond
ent, says in the Coniere Delia Sera:
"As we neared a small station and the
train lessened its speed, we saw a small
troop, of cavalry guarding the railroad
crossing a patrol of uhlans. Their de
meanor, was calm. Though they were In
the' enemy's country, their carefree atti
tude gave the Impression that they were
merely In a maneuver camp. y
"The swarms of cavalry which the Ger
mans send out ahead of their advance
re to be found everywhere on any high
way, on any path. It is their business to
see as much as possible. They show
themselves everywhere and they ride until
they are fired on, keeping thlB up until
they, have located the enemy.
Riding Into Death.
"Theirs Is the task of riding Into
death. The entire front of the enemy is
established by them and many of them
are killed that Is a certainty they face.
Now and then, however, one of them
manages to escape to bring the Informa
tion (which otherwise is obtained by offi
cers in their rear making observations).
The fire with which the uhlans are
greeted Is a fair estimate of the strength
of the enemy, for they know that usually
thn soldiers shoot us noon as the cavalry
of the enemy shows Itself.
"The German uhlan Is employed en
tirely for reconnaissance purposes and
what Is known as 'screen' and contact
work. In the first of these capacities he
endeavors to locate the enemy without
running Into his fire, doing this usually
In groups of from twenty to thirty, which
move wtth vanguard, flankers and raar
guard.
Work of Iblans.
"In 'screen' work the uhlan is used to
cover infantry or artillery advances, tak
ing a position on tho flank as soon as
this has been accomplished.
"In contact work tho ulilun rides in
small liodles until he has drawn the fire
of the enemy. Instead of retreating, aa
he may do In ordinary reconnaissance
work, he endeavors to trace the front of
the enemy, riding parallel to It-usuaJly
until the last man Is shot down. The
contact action has meanwhile been closely
observed from the German front and the
advance and attack of the ' Infantry la
governed by the Information gained at
the expense of the uhlan, for whom there
la no hope as soon as he Is detailed for this
duty, but who, from all accounts, does
not seem to mind this part of hj work."

IONnoN, Sept. 19. Reports received
from I'etrogrsd say that the Russian pur

the Russians have gained Important suc
cesses over the Austrian rear guard.
Convoys of two army corps, with thirty
guns and ammunition and S.100 prisoners,
are said lo have been captured. The
whole of the Austro-Hungnrlan border
between Yusevoff and Annapol Is re
ported to be overrun by Cossacks who
are leading the Russian advance.
The Russian army now In Galicia will

according to a Rome dispatch, an army
of tnn.OOO Russians is marching Into cen

2,000.000, while a third army, also anrre
