_WE WAGE WAR ON DIVINE PRINCIPLES_

The names of the priests and monks of the diocese of Malines, who, to my
knowledge, were put to death by the German troops, are as follows:
Dupierreux, of the Company of Jesus; Brother Sebastien Allard, of the
Society of St. Joseph; Brother Candide, of the Society of the Brothers
of Our Lady of Pity; Father Vincent, Conventual Carette, a professor;
Lombaerts, Goris de Clerck; Dergent, Wouters, Van Bladel, _cures_.

At Christmas time I was not perfectly certain what had been the fate of
the _Cure_ of Herent. Since then his dead body has been discovered at
Louvain and identified.

The Cathedral of Rheims has many companions in distress. The German
army, when it invaded the north of France, destroyed, totally or
partially, by bombardment or incendiarism, churches and chapels at
Albert, Serres, Vieille-Capelle, Etavigny, Soissons, Hebuterne,
Ribecourt, Suippes, Montceau, Barcy, Revigny, Souain, Maurupt,
Berry-au-Bac, Mandray, Heiltz-le-Maurupt, Sermaize-les-Bains, Doncieres,
etc.

PROCLAMATION

A War Contribution, amounting to 480,000,000 francs, to be paid in
monthly installments over the course of a year, is imposed on the
population of Belgium.

The payment of these sums devolves upon the Nine Provinces, which are
held collectively responsible for the discharge of it.

The two first installments are to be paid up, at latest, on January 15,
1915, and the following installments on the 10th, at latest, of each
following month, to the Field Army Treasury of the Imperial
Governor-Generalship at Brussels.

In case the Provinces have to resort to the issue of bonds in order to
obtain the funds necessary, the form and terms of these bonds will be
settled by the Imperial Commissary-General for the Banks in Belgium.
