Is Serious Matter

By The Associated Press.
 Brussels, July 3,-In Belgian mill tary circles the bombing of the Bel- gian troop train at Duisburg last Sat- urday is regarded as an extremely grave symptom of conditions in the Ruhr.
 Gen. Jacques and other command CTS express the opinion that Germany is seeking tos provoke serious incl dents which the German nationalists would make the pretext for inaugu- rating military action preparations. for which Belgian military men as-' sert have long been completed.
 The Berlin government they sug- gest would avoid responsibility but would count upon British passivity to allow guerilla war to be waged with inpunity against the allied troops.
 Belgian public opinion according tor indications in political quarters and in the press is rapidly crystallizing in favor of a more vigorous attitude toward Germany.
