All Passports From Be,gium Must State
Bearers Religion.
BRUSSELS, Oct. 26.-The Russian gov
ernment has recently demanded that the
Belgian auth horities in issuing passports
to persons intending TO visit Russia, shall
state therein the religion of the bearer.
Heretofore no such mention has been
made, and it is not known what action
Belgium will take in the matter.
II she complies with the demand Bel
xian Jews will be treated 10 many indig-
miles IL they visit Russia. IL she refuses
no Belgian passport will be accepted in
Russia, and consequently no Belgians
can enter that country, though the Rus
sian demand Is aimed solely at Hebrews.
This question is an important one and
does not admit OF hasty decision. The
outcome is watched with considerable
interest.
