BRUSSELS, Feb. "a fascist at
tempt to convert patriotic mani
festafion today in honor of the bat
tie SCARED flags of the disbanded
Belgian regiments into a demonstra-
tion against Premier Pou1let, has left
Brussels somewhat stunned.
The ceremony of depositing the
flags at the army museum drew out
a great crowd, and Crown Prince
Leopold on appearing was given an
ovation, but the premier was greeted
with shouts of down with Poullet,'
resign"
M. Poullet eventually left the
museum by rear door, but the
crowds cheered the king and the
crown prince. Apparently inspired
by hyperpatriotic fervor, bands of
young men literally tore the hats
and caps off the heads of bystanders,
whom they judged insufficiently quick
in uncovering before the passage cf
the heroic standards.
