New York, March 26.----Actual eye-| witnesses of atrocities raid to have! taken place in Belgium during the early days of the war have been glow to reach New York and even certain American war correspondents who travelled over Belgium in the wake of the invading army have said the 'evidence offered them of such things was at best third-banded. Two Belgians, who say they have seen Btfacities committed in their country nd who have given their sworn tes- a auRy to the Belgian Commission of 'Inguiry on the violation of the "rules of international law and of the: laws and customs of war, were found in New York yesterday by a report- er. They are R. Vaesen and R. Mag. is, 3 Andenne. Vaesen is, or was, the editor of Cin et Peehe, and Mrs. Magis is an architect. Both were in Andenne at the time the Germans came and both were arrested and held as host- ages, and they say they were with- oul food or water for forty-eight hours. The two visitors have just arrived from Canada, on their way back to Belgium, and they did not seek an interview. The town of Andenre escaped much menticn in the despatches at! the time, partly because it is small, and attention was drawn to places more famed. Messrs. Vaesen and Magis hssert that not a single Ger- man was injured in the town. The burgomaster, Dr. Camus, a man of more than 70 years of age, had taken the utmost precaution to insure non- resisiancé and posted notices to warn | the people of the futility of such a course, and local authorities had personally explained their duty to certain of the inhabitants.
