nts from personal observation.

The house he mentions on the beach near Coxyde Bains was beyond
doubt intended for the purpose he describes. I visited it several
times before it was completely destroyed, and have now in my
possession photographs which show the nature of the building,
besides a tile from the flooring.

Two instances in which spies were detected came to my knowledge; in
one case the person in question was the mayor of the town, in the
other a peasant woman. One other time I know of information was
given undetected which resulted in the shelling of a road at a time
when a convoy of motors was about to pass.

The high esteem in which the Red Cross flag is held by German
gunners (as a target) is only too forcibly impressed upon one in
that service.

[B] When this record was first made public the "New York Tribune" stated
editorially:--

"The writer of the foregoing communication was for several years a
member of 'The Tribune' staff. For the utter trustworthiness of any
statement made by Mr. Gleason, this newspaper is willing to vouch. Mr.
Gleason was at the front caring for the Belgian wounded. He speaks with
full knowledge and complete authority and 'The Tribune' is glad to be
able to submit to its readers a first-hand, eye-witness account of
atrocities written by an American. It calls attention again to the fact,
cited by Mr. Gleason, that his testimony is included in the Bryce
Report, which should give Americans new insight into the value of this
document."

When Theodore Roosevelt read this record of German atrocity, he made the
following public statement:

"Remember, there is not the slightest room for honest question either as
to the dreadful, the unspeakably hideous, outrages committed on the
Belgians, or as to the fact that these outrages were methodically
committed by the express command of the German Government in order to
terrorize both the Belgians and among neutrals those men who are as cold
and timid and selfish as our governmental leaders have shown themselves
to be. Let any man who doubts read the statement of an American
eye-witness of these fearful atrocities, Mr. Arthur H. Gleason, in the
'New York Tribune' of November 25, 1915."
