The Burning Of Louvain After the Germans occupied Brussels they closed the road to Aix-la- Chapelle.

A week later, to carry their wounded and prisoners, they reopened it.

The mail-trains and the telegraph office were in the hands of the invaders.

They accepted our cables, censored them, and three days later told us, if we still wished, we could forward them.
