On the 5th August of this year the 64th Infantry Brigade entered Gouvy. The population at first gave us the appearance of being well disposed to the Germans, and was extremely cordial. Pails of water, _e.g._, were provided for the troops as they marched through, without any previous request for this service. The stationmaster was especially prominent in welcoming the troops; the parish priest, in apparently friendly fashion, took pains to make the officers comfortable. Despite all this, the behaviour of the inhabitants seemed to the brigade to be suspicious, and for this reason the place was searched for weapons. The search of the station buildings also took place in the presence of the stationmaster. To the question whether goods of any kind, weapons, explosives, etc., were to be found in the place, the stationmaster returned a most decided negative. His assertion, nevertheless, turned out to be false. For in a small room, lying hidden away, which, according to the stationmaster's statement, served for the storing of his furniture, we discovered, underneath a good deal of rubbish, boxes which contained about 300 Browning pistols. In addition to this there was concealed in the room a hundred-weight of dynamite. As the stationmaster could give no credible explanation as to the use which was to be made of these weapons and explosives, he was arrested. Further, on the night of 8th-9th August 1914, the orderly officer of the 64th Infantry Brigade, Lieutenant of Reserve Schmidt, was ordered to ride to Vielsalm and there give the alarm to the Guard-Jäger Battalion and the 11th Jägers. On the way there he was fired at by civilians in the neighbourhood of Bovigny. At this time no enemy troops were to be found in that locality. At Leffe it was established unquestionably by the Brigade Staff that, after the capture of this place, the civil population fired on the troops of the 64th Infantry Brigade from cellar windows and barricaded houses, to some extent even using small shot. In consequence, we lost a number of men, including officers. Signed: MORGENSTERN-DÖRING. App. 14. STATEMENT of 1st Lieutenant and Column Commander Marggraf, Field-Bakery Column No. 1, III. Army Corps. MONTAIGU, _October 3rd, 1914_. On the morning of August 20th the Field-Bakery Column No. 1, III. Army Corps, had begun work near Marche, almost as far up as the village of Hollogne-Aye. The occupants of the houses in the vicinity displayed throughout the day no hostile intentions. Nevertheless, when towards evening a munitions column wished to drive up into position, quite close to the bakery, shots were fired at them from the neighbouring woods and gardens, which contained some single houses. On searching these houses no arms were found on the inhabitants, but some of them were still in possession of cartridges loaded with large shot. These persons were taken away.
