Civilians of Tamines Executed bv

Abbot of a Benedictine Monastery
Telle How Citizens Were Lined Up
Against a Wall and Shot.
By HARRY HANSEN.
War Correspondent of tho Chicago
Dally News.
London.—When I was In Flushing
a remarkable story waa told me of
the death of 380 leading citizens of
Tamines, a Belgian town near Namur
find pinant. It was related to me by
Mgr. Columba Marmion, abbot of the
JJonedictlne jnonastery of Maredsous,
«ear Namur, who, disguised as a la-
borer, has just evaded the Germans
find was on his way to England.
"On the best of authority," said the
abbot, "I know that the Germans killed
groat numbers of civilians in families
because it was reported that they had
fired on the troops. The most amaz- j
(tig instnnces of wholesale execution |
pccurred at the bridge across the j
River Sambre, where these men, who ,
were accused of bearing arms, were
placed against a brick wall in the j
form of an angle. The commanding |
ptlicer demanded that all cry 'Hoch der |
jialser!'
"The civilians obeyed hoping for
leniency. Then they w ere told to bend
pver, whereupon many cried out for
puercy. Tho order to fire was given,
find all fell in a heap, the living with
fhe dead. The officer then ordered all
pie living ty rise. These expected
freedom, but po sooner |3id they stand
erect than a second order to tire was
given.
"One man was not killed, and he
jay under th« heaps of corpses. The
soldiers left the place, but he remained
lying there several hours longer. To-
ward dusk hp extricated himself and
crawled toward the bridge. Finding
)t guarded, ho slid down the embank-
mi nt Into the water, swam under the
budge up the stream, and occaslJuaHy
filled to escape obsurvatlou.
"Coming to a tree, he held himself
fo the roots while soldiers walked up
aiid down the banks. Ho remained |
there probably an hour until his body
pt came cold. It was necessary for I
him to get out of the water, so he drew
himself up, but was observed by a sol-
di r, who poked among the roots ot
tho tree with his bayonet.
"The fugitive dived again and swam
feebly as long as his strength lasted.
Then he sought the bank again and
lay there exhausted. He was nof dis-
covered, and Anally crept away into a
liiicket. The next day he walked,
crawled and ran until he reached
friends and safety.
"lUls story is vouched fpr also by
II. A. Poeis, formerly a professor in
the Cathplic university at Washing-
ton."
Mgr. Marmion Is an Irishman, al-
though at the head of a Belgian mon-
astery. Ke wore a blue and white
laborer's shirt, open at the throat.
Careless of his attire, he was hippy
over Ills escape, because ef the dan-
gers be had passed through. He said
that a priest's life is not necessarily
safe under the German occupation.
IIU first attempt to leave the German
lines whs frustrated, but he finally
got through In an automobile with
Doctor Poels and several others who
had passes for Holland.

Cooley In the Chicago Herald.
A tew months ago the world atoo4
pghast at the atrocities of the Balkaq
■war. It had not been believable thai
tnea could descend to such depths o*
parage cruelty. But what waa th*
Balkan war compared with tho present
War? That was a struggle of a peopla
•gainst age-long oppression and In tbetf
(nad rage they killed and destroyed all
(hat came within their reach. But whag
tre these men fighting for? Why ara
they destroying one another like thai
foul breath of some awful pestllencel
They fight, they say. for God, to
king, and for native land. Aye. to bm
cure, for God! They fight for a Oo<|
who so loved the world that ha gava
bis only begotten son In order that •
spiritual regeneration might come Ul
men; not to Germans, or Russians, 0*
Englishmen, or AustrlanB, or French*
men, but to men, to all men. An4
these soldiers so appreciate this sot
promo sacrifice of God that they go
out with swords and guns to kill OM
•nether.
Fight tor Their Klnga.
' But they also fight for their king. II
sine of the soldiers were asked whaf
his king had done for htm, what eoul4
lie say? He knowe what he has dono
for the king. He has fed and clothe^
and housed him and his family, and al]
■pon whom he might smile, while ro>
tslnlng for himself and his own family
barely enough to keep Ulo In th*U
miserable bodies.
Yet. when one of these pampor*4
and spoiled kings Imagined that hq
had been Insulted by another spoiled
•nd pampered king, millions ot melt
•prang to arms to wipe out the klng*g
Insult. And they are wiping out th4
king's Insult by destroying one •
other.
But thrice Just Is their cause. They
fight also for natlvo land. For native
land! When has the world seen sucll
Irony? Not one In ten of these fighfe
Ing men owns so much as a single
square foot of his native land. Iq
country and In city ho tolls from chDd<
hood to old ago for a bare pittance

lord or prince. .
And when ho has given the loat full
measure of devotion, and lies prona
upon the ground, smitten by the hand
pf another who Is fighting for his Ood,
king and native land, and his last
thought goes back to the hovel bo
called home, and ho sees In his mlnd'o
•ye his wife staggorlpg under a double
burdon. and his aged mother In tear*,
as she rocks the cradle of his orphaned

Whence the Murderous Rage?
Whoee 1b tho fuult? Why do men
who love women and fondle children,
who care for tho sick nnd revere the
aged, why do they suddonly fall to
killing other men like themselves,
whose only crime Is that they speak a
different language, or live on the other
aide of an Imaginary line?
If this were some sort of distemper
that got Into men s minds nnd robbed
them of their reason, such cooduct
would bo Intelligible. But clearly It
does not lie within the mon them-
selves. for largo numbers of all theso
fighting nationalities have come ta
this country, whore they live In peace
and harmony, with neOer a thought ol

It must come from without. Whence
