Fleming Separatists' Agi'
tation Has Split Small
Nation.

LONDON, Dec. lS.-According to
Sir. Percival Phillips, the London
Daily Express special correspondent
at Brussels. Belgium's Sim Fein
question bulks largely in the pres
ent political crisis. The Belgian
Sinn Feiners are the Fiemings in
the north. who demand the su-
premacy or their own language in
that section and the extinction OF
the French University at Ghent
The three political parties-cath-
Ollie, Liberal and Socialist-have
been split by the Flemish question.
They combined to govern Belgium
during King Albert's absence in
Brazil. but the coalition cabinet
thus formed hung together with
difficulty, and when the king
stepped from his aeroplane recently
he was confronted with its resig-
nation. Other Internal questions
notably that of military service
contributed to the breakdown, but
the obduracy of the Flemish ele-
ment seems to overshadow them
all.

influence during the occupation, for
the Germans realized that the en-
couragement of Flemish sentiment
would strengthen their hold on the

LONDON, Dec. 1s.-America's sug-
gestfon Of a naval. holiday Is today
lost in the news from the Near East

discussion in the press of the naval

In oficial circles 1t is stated en-
phatically that the whole future

Preparations. will be determined
largely by Mr.. Harding, and until

holiday, other American views will
be read and discussed. but they
will have little or no influence upon
the policies of foreign governments.
Today, for instance. there is vast
ly more interest over here in Amer
