WANTON VANDALISM
NAZIS DESTROY BELGIAN LIBRARY. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. June 27. Reports current after the Nazi invasion of Belgium that German forces had wantonly destroyed a great collection of books presented the university of Louvain after the last war by an American committee, in replacement of a famous library burnt by the Germans in 1914, are unfortunately confirmed today by the Berlin radio, which broadcast an elaborate story, purporting to show that this stupid vandalism was committed by soldiers of the B.E.F.
