London, Aug, 1.—The = “Ame Belge,” mysterious little Belgian pa- per which the German government in Belgium repeatedly has tried to suppress, continues to make its ap- pearance. A recent copy of the paper, which is published secretly, recéived here, containing a story of another in- stance of Hun brutality. Of nineteen Belgians tried at Char- leroi on a charge of furnishing in- formation to:the Allies, six were sen- tenced to be shot. i Families of the entire nineteen were summoned and told that six of the nineteen would be executed but the officials refused to staté which were to be the victims. “The sentence was not even made known to the nineteen,” stated the “Anne Belge.” “In-vain did their families beg and implore the Ger- mans to tell; they were allowed to visit the prisoners, and they wept and lamented. The bitter truth would be easier thau this agonizing uncertainty. “Wives and children stood all night at the gates of the rion, alternating between infinite despair and senseless hoper At dawn six were taken be- fore a firing squad angd executed.
