Washington, Nov., 30.—All
the oppressive measures which
characterized the German in-
vasion of Belgium and many
acts of barbarism which revolt-
ed the civilized world, semi-offi-
cial dispatches from Rome Fri-
day say, are now being practic-
ed by the Austro-German in-
vaders of Italy. Near Zenson,
the dispatches say, the invaders
placed Italian women and chil-
dren before their troops as they
advanced, and the Italian sol-
diers were compelled to sacri-
fice their innocent countrymen.
In the Friuli region war
taxes, requisition and conscrip-
tion of labor is being practiced
as it was in Belgium and North-
ern France. Austro-German
prisoners tell of Italian noncom-
batants massacred by the in-
vading troops and loot from
Italian homes and shops has
been found on the bodies of
dead troops. Soldiers on the
Piave declared they heard the
screams of women and children
from the opposite side of the
river.
The invading armies have
taken away cattle and other
property and burn household
furniture for their bivouac fires
at night. Bosnian troops, the
dispatches say, have committed
unnameable atrocities.
