Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgians Under the German Eagle These pages were written in Belgium between the 4th August, 1914, and the 15th August, 1915. I employed in this work only those books and periodicals which entered the country, whether secretly or openly, and which every one, therefore, can procure. But to drive conviction into the reader's mind I have observed a rule of selection in using these documents: I have used those exclusively which are of German origin, or which are censored by the Germans. They are - (A) German posters exposed in Belgium. (B) Books and newspapers coming from Germany. (C) Newspapers published in Belgium under the German censorship. (D) The Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant, the only foreign newspaper which has been authorized in Belgium since the beginning of the occupation. As for the Belgian Grey Books, the Reports of the Commission of Inquiry, and books published in Belgium, of these I used only those which were known to us in Belgium before the 15th August, 1915.
