BODIES STILL LIE IN LOUVAIN STREETS London, Aug :u. Yesterday your! correspondent visited Louvain. find-1 Ing the city greatly damaged by fires J and not shells but all the wonderful Gothic buildings of the cathedral, the city hall and the university built in j the thirteenth century, were almost ir.tact. Only a fev, hundred of the 45,000 population were visible, though! many may be hiding behind closed shutters Many houses have, been I partly wrecked or burned, and stand just as the occupants fled for their lives The outer doors are open so that anyone may enter the deserted homes. The odors in the city are so intol-1 erable as to drive the German soldiers sol-diers into the open places on the windward side of the town. Many bodies have been cremated, but hun dreds still lie n the streets, including includ-ing the bodies of some women and children.
