London. Sept. 27-GeTmany has
agreed to evacuate Belgium on certain

Germany. it is stipulated, must have
the right to develop her economic en-
terprises freely in Belgium, especl'
ally in Antwerp.

tain administrative separation OF the
Flanders and WaEoon districts intro
duced by Germany. the verbal note
saws. because this separation cores
ponds TO the wishes of a majority OF
the Belgian people and because Ger
MANY desires such separation on &C
count of racial sympathy.
