BERLIN. April 15.-The method followed
in the reichstag this week in enforcing the

to throw aside tho accusations without

French papers are already indulging in sur
misses as to what Germany would do in the
event of the monarchy in Belgium being
submerged. The reports are credited in
some French organs that a compact be-
tween Emperor William and King Leopold
arranges for German occupation of Belgium
within a day if revolution threatens te
overthrow the king. Whatever interna
convulsions may occur in Belgium it is the
official opinion here that Germany will
absolutely hold a!oof, unless tho French
