As a result of Belgian atrocities, the kaiser claims his oflicers have been compell- ed to resort . to drastic punishment. I'he kaiser, however, it is stated, ex. presses deep regret over the destruc- tion of Louvain. Mauberg Reported Fallen. Berlin, Sept. 9 (via Sayville, L.1., by wireless). --It was announced = at army headquarters here to-day that the French fortress of Mauberge has fallen before the German siege. Four generals, 40,000 prisoners and 400 guns are declared to have been taken mn the victory, the greatest, from the German viewpoint since the war be- gan. 'Jhough the fall of Mauberge 1s not yet oflicially admitted by Maris or London, it- is thought quite likely that this fortress "has "at last sue- cumbed. It is just over the Nrench frontier from Belgium, and the main body of the German army passed it by some days. ago, leaying hbavy artil- lery to reduce it: If there was any such force as Germans say they cap- tured in it, they were French--possi- bly some British--cat off in the allies retirement from Mons and Cambrai.
