As to Case: On August 25th I marched with my company in close order through Louvain to the station there. In the preceding action the Belgians had been pressed back. On our return the town was quiet, nor did we hear any shots on our return march. The troops in Louvain did not mistake us for Belgian troops trying to enter the town. Above the station I saw suddenly, at about 8 o'clock p.m., a blaze of light as of a rocket. On the appearance of this light we were suddenly fired upon from every quarter. At the command of our Feldwebelleutnant we fired on the houses. The shooting continued for some time. I immediately told my comrades that the signal light mentioned above was evidently a rocket.

MALINES, _November 19th, 1914_. Court of the General Belgian Government. Present: President, STEMPEL. Secretary, STEMPER. There appears as witness Corporal Heinrich Weinen, and is examined as follows: As to Person: My name is Heinrich Weinen, aged 38; corporal, 1st Company, 2nd Mobile Landsturm Battalion Neuss, at present in Malines. As to Case: On August 25th I saw from the station square a light signal suddenly given. Upon this signal we were fired at on all sides from the windows of the surrounding houses. The rooms, from which the shots came, were dark. I did not see any figures at the windows; I only saw the flash of the shots; the flashes from the objects pointed from the windows, which I took to be revolvers, were reflected from the houses upon the street. The bullets struck the square close to us and burst about our heads too. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: HEINRICH WEINEN. After the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, the witness was duly sworn. Signed: STEMPEL. Signed: STEMPER. D. App. 17. MALINES, _November 19th, 1914_.

As to Case: On August 25th, in the evening, I was on guard at the signal cabin, about 1000 metres from the railway station at Louvain. Once, on turning round--it was between 8 and 9 o'clock--I saw clearly two bright rockets rising near the station. After the ascent of these rockets, I heard all at once in the town, and more especially near the station, violent firing. Read over, approved, signed. Signed: WILHELM MAINZ. After the importance of the oath had been pointed out to him, the witness was duly sworn.
