ENEMY'S ATROCITIES.
AMERICAN EVIDENCE. NEWSPAPER'S ADMISSION. London, September 14. My. - Powell, the New York World's correspondent in Belgium had an interview with General von ! Boehn, who emphatically denied the i reports of atrocities by Germans on Belgian non-combatants. Mr. Powell pointed out many instances that he saw personally. General von Boehn answered that he did everything possible to protect the non-combatants. Germans entered a private house at Renaix, 25 miles south of Ghent, where they found an entire family in the cellar. The soldiers violated and then cut the throats of two girls. They cut off the boys' ears, and inflicted other unnameable mutilations. The Cologne Gazette admits that I the German ravages in Belgium were shocking.
