BELGIAN PAPER
DEFIES SPIES
, PUBLISHES A NEWSPAPER RE
GARDLESS OF CENSOR
SHIP OR GOVERNOR
The International News Service
agency gave out a story recently'
that shows the boldness of the Bel
gians. It appears that in spite
of the thousands of German sp>e?
in the city of Brussels, the -“Libre
' Belgipue" succeeded to publish a
new issue. The correspondent says:
The boldness and wonderful ten
acity of the mysterious Belgian
patriots who continue, in spite of
everything, to publish their daring
paper, form an amusing and am
azing side to the war.
The Germans as soon as they
had entered Brussels took posses
j sion of all the newspapers. The
so-called Belgian papers published
by the Kommandantur were in
reality merely German sheets prin
ted in French.
Very soon afterward the “Libre
Belgique” appeared. Who was the
editor? Where was it printed?
No -one has ever been able to find
out,but it has had and still has the
courage to print all the things
which the Germans want to remain
unknown.
Until now it has appeared in
j about sixty issues—that is to say,
almost weekly—and has published
documentary proofs of the German
misdeeds, has criticised German bul
letins of victories and has pophe
sied from the start the inevitable
downfall of Germany.
In the most merciless manner it
1 teases the conquerors, it stimul
i ates the Belgians, gives publicity
j to the thousands of little tricks
which the irrepressible street ur
chins of Brussels play on the Ger
mans and flays the Kaiser, the mil
itary' Governor and the German
generals in every issue.
\ on Bissing himself still receives
a special copy with exasperating
i regularity, and invariably the gov
i ernor finds it on top of all other
papers on his desk. It is as if
I a Belgian Ku Klux Klan were at
work.
The governor first promised a
reward of $5,000 to any person who
would betray the names of the ed
itors and the publishers, and the
| reward was raised to $10,000, and
then to $15,000; but in vain.
The following story appeared in
one of the recent isues of the pa
per, copies of which even reached
Paris:
It reprints the story- told by the
: iamous English war correspondent, j
Russel of the “Times,” who fol
| lowed the Prussian army in 1870, ■
! about the destruction 0f the Cha ■
teau of Saint Cloud. Russel vi
i sited the chateau with a German
offiver named Strautz. A few
moments before the chateau was
set afire, Strautz exclaimed:
“Gentlemen, I am the last com
mandant of Saint Cloud. For
the very last time we will visit
the magnificent apartments. We
will throw a glance at them and in
order that they may forever remain
in 0ur memory- we will each take
alons a souvenier. Take whatever
you want—wines paintings, or
books; whatever you like.”
Russel adds: “I went inside with
Lieutenant Von Bissing and Major
Glas and when they saw that I
earned away- nothing they- insis
ted that I must do so. I explained
to them that my position was dif
ferent and that I could not take
what had not been offered me.”
“Then you ought to have seen
what happened. From all sides
gifts poured in on me; gifts so
magnificent that it would take the
author of the Arabian Nights to
describe them."
The “Libre Belguique" identifies
this Von Bissing as the present
governor of Belguim, who was born
in 1844 and who served as a lieut
enant in the Prussian army in 1870.
