Pan American Tanges Zeitung, chatting
under the persistent rumors that Ger
many has decided to yield Belgium,
calls on the Government to make an
unequivocal declaration of it's purposes
Count Won Reventlow's paper refers
to alleged rumors that the imperial
Government had concluded to abandon
the idea of. maintaining dominion over
the territory of the peoples of the for
mer kingdom of Belgium and adds
that such conclusions are said to have
been arrived at by authoritive factors
in the presence of the Emperor declar-
ing:
1--WE desire to emphasize that a mere
semi official, contradiction to the eff
feet that no crown council had been
in session or that any similarly con-
stituted body had met for the purpose
would be Of no avail and would only
contribute to the existing feeling OF
unrest"
