BRITISH COMMISSION REPORTS GERMAN OUTRAGES IN BELGIUM

LONDON, May 12. Murder, lust, and pillage prevailed over many parts of Belgium on a scale unparalleled in any war by a civilized' nation in the past three centuries, declared the British commission headed by Vicecount Bryce. A "report on alleged German atrocities was presented to Premier Asquit today. The commission finds the German army guilty of a series of most shocking cromes against men, women and children that human brutality could devise. Drunkenness is blamed chiefly, but in many instances destruction of human life and wanton wrecking was carried out with the sanction of higher officials. A considerable number of the mass of the reports from Belgium and Francs presented to the commission on Dec. 5 were found to be authentic. Testimony was taken in every form, from Belgium, French and British soldiers, from Belgium refugees, from captive Germans, from victims of outrages and from travelers. In its aim to be fair, however, the commission noted that many German soldiers were executed by their own officers when found guilty of attacking women. HOLD MAN FOR MURDER COLUMBUS, Ind., May 12. Frank Gaston, 32, was arrested at Seymour today and brought back to Columbus on suspicion of having guilty knowledge of the murder of Robert Samples at Grammer, Ind. Samples was first thought to have committed suicide when he left church where he had listened to a severe denunciation of drunkenness. Gaston left Grammer suddenly shortly after the finding of Samples' body. The motive of the murder is a mystery.

WL Of UMnKES, In conclusion the commission says: "From the foregoing pages it will be seen that the committee has come to a definite conclusion. It is true that there was in many parts of Belgium deliberate and systematic organized massacres of the civil population accompanied by many isolated murders. In the conduct of the war generally innocent civilians were murdered in large numbers, women violated, and children murdered. "That looting, house burning and murder were authorized and countenanced by the German army and that elaborate plans for incendairism were made before the outbreak of the war. "That the rules and usages of war v.-ere frequently broken particularly by using non-combatants, including women and children, as the shield for advancing forces subject to fire, to a less degree by killing prisoners and by violaitng the Red Cross and the white. Sensitive as they are to the gravity the commission feels it would be doing less than its duty if it failed to record them as produced in the evidence. Lust, murder, and pillage prevailed in Belgium on a scale unparalleled by civilized warfare during the last three centuries." VANDERBILT'S BODY REMAINS UNFOUND t LONDON, May 12.
