ON the 7th of August, 1914, upon receiving news of the excesses which the Germans had committed from the time of their entrance into Belgium the Belgian Government instituted an official Commission, whose duty it was to collect, collate, and examine, with the greatest impartiality and attentiveness, all such facts as came to its knowledge and appeared to be violations of the Law of Nations or of the laws and usages of war. This Commission, composed of discreet and able men, whose reputation alone constituted a guarantee of the highest value, has since its appointment sat in Antwerp and Havre, and in London, where a delega tion, presided over by Sir Mackenzie Chalmers, was appointed to collect and consider the depositions of numerous witnesses who were refugees in England.
