german-occupied belgium. as galvin admitted afterwards, he said most of the students volunteered, quote, the spirit of adventure and desire for active work, more than a certain knowledge of the capabilities to fill the bill. this might account for the fact that out of the first 25 oxford students who did ultimately go into belgium, six weren't ever mentioned on any of the crd membership lists. i believe they washed out. had some kind of problem and were asked quietly to leave belgium. although there's no official record of that. at the time, no one had any idea of what the conditions were like in belgium, or what the delegates were supposed to do when they got there. a man who became a delegate wrote, we had visions of sitting on top of boxcars. we expected to see german savages prowling around ready at the slightest provocation to scalp women and children and, perhaps, provoke a quarrel with us for the same purpose. that was where it stood. one of the oxford students who became a delegate was only 19 years o

and their experiences in belgium. i want to talk about them in two distinct but related ways -- first as spectators of the war. also as witnesses of what was going on, especially what the germans were doing, this crisis of deportation that occurred in late 1916 and early 1917. the american -- an article i published has an article -- i hope to show that while these young men were obviously dedicated humanitarians. they have a complex relationship with their work as a neutral american in a war zone and as international humanitarians confronting new and unsettling situations at the hands of the occupying germans. in real ways, their activities in belgium not only awakened their own humanitarian spirit, but propelled them and the united states in the idea of the united states onto the world stage in the early 20th century as a national agent of humanitarian activity. pate and his fellow delegates lived in a theater of war, belgium was a theater of war. anna terrien to being humanitarian -- in addition to being humanitaria

focused on the german invasion of france by way of belgium. in this case, we have once again the idea that germany has violated belgian neutrality. that is reflected in this pamphlet. is steppingfe through the german treaty with belgium. but also, we have a couple of nice images. for example, this image from reality in which the germans re bombing 2000 children and calling it military necessity. then this pamphlet that was --en out in new york thousands of little children's of france are crying to you to save them from german frightful mess. idea is that germany is committing crimes against civilians. there are a lot of books put out against germany that claim to tell the truth about what germany is doing in belgium, tell the truth about the german to highlightust the different atrocities germany is committing against the civilian population throughout the front. it is germany versus civilization. the idea being that germany is not fit to stand among the members of western europe. book calledis conquest and couture. there is something flawed w

parts of belgium and luxembourg as well as parts of france. one of the things for britain, belgium, and france is a discussion about atrocities. was, in its willingness to break an international treaty. the neutrality of elgin. there was a rogue army that was breaking international conventions. prior to world war i, you had a number of international treaty conventions to talk about war. and proper conventions of fighting a modern war. this group of pamphlets here really does talk about those types of attacks on the civilian population. not just on the military. is talking about how this population is coming about. atrocities, or through the iron bars, which talks about the occupation of belgium. they talk about things like rape, slave labor. using civilians to build munitions for them. some of them draw upon what they claim is documents from the occupying areas. looking at this whole mix of documents, the atrocity theme is picked up again and the germans themselves come up with their own documents from a counter narrative that says we have bel

this suspect was known to officials across europe, in france, belgium and spain. the suspect has been taken to paris, they believe that he's a 26-year-old moroccan, they believe he was living in spain last year, belgium this year. those details do have to be checked. and what we've heard from belgium authorities, they are investigating his links to a radical islamic group and investigating whether or are not this suspect had actually been to syria. they say they don't know the answer to that at the moment. but of course the picture a serious one, getting on the train with an automatic weapon, nine magazines of ammunition, each can take 30 bullets. so the math is very simple. several hundred bullets he had in that weapon plus the automatic pistol, the amounts of damage that he could have caused and trauma that he could have caused is horrific. this was a busy train, as many as 500 people on the train. very little way of stopping him apart from the actions, you know, of stone and his friends. >> you mentioned how many people were on the train. as understand, these t

we saw the belgium prime minister at the event. but how should european nations be rethinking train security in the wake of all of this? the americans and the british guy who helped out they all seem like heroes while there are reports that train staff were hiding and wouldn't let anybody in. that's quite embarrassing. >> it's embarrassing and extremely worrying that you have a situation like this. it's not going to be always the case where you have these gentlemen who risk their lives to save the others on a train or another form of transportation. this is something that will require urgent reviewing. this was not a domestic train. this is a transnational train traveling across the netherlands, belgium and france himself. how was el khazzani able to take so many weapons on board the train without more security. this is something that needs to be looked at urgently. this is the change of tactics. they are targeting other forms of transportation notably the train infrastructure in europe which is an important artery for europe itsel

to launch a major bombing and gun attack in belgium that was escort in a gun battle when they went in belgium in the town and last year in 2014, there was an attack on the jewish museum and every week we're seeing more and more of this. this is becoming the normal now. >> we understand this to be anian national. what puts something on the radar but not to where they could be apprehended? maybe it was an investigation where they were doing surveillance on a terrorist network. maybe perhaps there was a suspension that he travelled to syria. that does appear to be a possibility that the gunman travelled to syria. they're investigating that right now. they're not able to arrest him and move forward to a prosecution. there's a big problem because you have hundreds of extremists coming back from iraq and many of them are being detained, but some are not able to actually have charges against them because the evidence is not strong enough. >> not just a crime to travel. >> yeah, it's not clear what happened when they get to turkey and so forth. it's difficult to build a prosecution. >> thank

this suspect linked to belgium investigations into radical islamist networks. but talk to me about the continuing threat. many european nations really have their radar up and they're seeing regular activity if not attempts and they're seeing many -- a lot of activity in to the planning stages of terror attacks. >> this is a time of unprecedented threat in europe. i speak to european security officials on a regular basis. they have never been more worried and much of this is due to the conflict in syria and iraq. the rise of isis, the fact that up to 6,000 european extremists have traveled to syria and iraq, the fact that hundred hs and hundreds have returned to europe. the fact that it's impossible to monitor 24/7 all but a small fraction of these returnees. they are overwhelmed right now, worried that this is the new normal this kind of attack that we saw on the train yesterday. there have been a string of attacks in recent months of course in paris in january, but also in belgium may 2014, the attack on the jewish museum by a french fighter who had connected

the germans behaved with increasingly brutality in belgium. they were enraged when the belgians decided to resist and round up civilians, use them for forced labor in germany and began as a sort of warning occasionally to shoot a number of belgian civilians and contrary to the rules of war. it is fairly clear that the germans also burnt a large part of the very ancient city of leuven in belgian and including a very great old library and this really shocked american public opinion as it shocked opinion around the world. this seemed an act of bar barism, an act of civilization. one german later on said that the two things that really swayed american public opinion against us were leuven and the luis tan yeah. in 1915 when german submarines sank the british liner the a large number of civilians were drowned and a number of americans and a real shock to american public opinion and so you can see a gradual shift in american opinion which wilson certainly does nothing to stop and probably shares towards the allied side and this is a long way saying
