The death of Miss Janet Porter, | which occurred; on Sunday after- noon, at 152 University avenue, will {give a keen sense of loss to many. {She came to Kingston from Seot- land many years ago, as a small | girl, and had ever since resided in the city.

The Belgian Commission of Inquiry re plies by publishing the actual text of orders and proclamations issued by the generals in command of the im- vading army. At Hasselt on August 17 a notice was posted up stating that "in the case of civilians shoot- ing on the German army one-third" of the population will be shot." At] Andenne the German gendral believ- ed or suspected that a "trdacherous' attack had been made on IY 00ps. The inhabitants denied that was any treachery. 'It was with ny consent," said General von Bylow, "that the general had the place burnt down and r people shot." In fact, the number was | over 200.
