to the trees fer up Main street above. of all places, the Municipal Parking Station.
 If many more of them learn about these trees the parking station will have to be abandoned, those who learned the starlings were there Wednesday night agreed.
 Nightfall is roasting time. Just before sundown thousands of the birds wing in in floclxs from the far corners of the city to the Gen. tral Park trees. They go through dizzy whirls, swoop, alight, then are off again, circling, bankings, swoOp- ing before they settle down. The flying squadrons keep bombing as they go and wary pedestrians keep out of range in doorways, watching the birds and whatever happens to the unwary.
 Through many months the Iner- chants of upper Main street could smilingly console the merchants around Central Park but now that is being changed. MT. Lindey with his bells and clappers, out to keep the birds on the move until they settle in certain spots where he will have his traps set, has made the starlings uncomfortable atop the Judd building and nearby places and they are moving north on Main street. ...,....
 The game MT. Lindey is playing is smart one, if 1t works. He will make uninhabitable most of the places the birds now roost. But nearby. in the tower of the First Congregational church and possi- bly, atop the New Britain Trust company, he will leave two invit- ing places apparently safe and se- cure. The birds, he expects, will soon discover these safe spots. Or some of them will and, after spend- ing a night there, will kindly pass the word along to the other flocks when they are ribling next day out at the pig farm or down be- hind the sewage disposal plant Gradually those safe, secure places will become dense, crowded. Then one night down will fall Mir. Lin- dey's net and nary a one will es- cape to tell what became of that flight of dark brown bombers.

Racial Purity Group.
The v. N. VS. official organ is the
"Vol en- Staat." The Germans tried
to exploit this Flemish national Or
ganization and at the same time
brought into existence an "organi-
zation for the purity of the race"
called the "Volksverwering." This
organization had connections with
the anti-Semitic organization of the
Nazis IN Erfurt, Germany. Its orig
inal statutes clearly stated that If
1t should be dissolved its functions
will be taken over by the welt
dienst," Goebbels anti-Semitic or

The organ of the Volksverwering
published an attack against the dia-
mond merchants in Antwerp, who
were mostly Jews Strangely, three
days later a Socialist organ pub
nshed a similar article about the
"gangsters of the Pelican street"
(the street where the diamond mer-
chants have their business, which
showed that the Nazis of Germany
succeeded occasionally in placing

papers.
Nazis Exploit Pacifism.
The Nazis also exploit Flemish
pacifism because this tends to re-
duce Belgium's willingness to take
part In any defensive alliance with
the western powers. Thus the Ger
mans saw with glee the growth Of
the influence Of q quaint political
figure, Leo Frenssen, the long-beard-
ed news vendor who managed to
get elected to the municipal council
in Antwerp and succeeded In in
creasing the circulation of his paper,
Dag, to 100000. The Dag was ac-
cused by another organ Of having
received its paper free Of charge
from Germany.
Frenssen's paciflsm naturally aids
Hitler considerably. This queer fg-
ure, who made popularity with
quaint jumps and leaps In the
streets during his election campaign,
has a strange program of his own
about the distribution of wealth.
But in reality 1t is his pacifism that
is exploited by the German Nazis.
Pacifism In all these small countries
is playing into Hitler's hands and
Goebbels understands this.

Leopold Conducting
Affairs With Eye
On Flemish Group
Policy Of Neutrality
And Non-AIIiunce
Eosed Nuzi Fervor
By M. w. FODOR,

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent.
ANTWERP.-The attitude Of Bel
gums Flemish population has been
big factor in King Leopold's
determination to choose for his
country the new policy Of strict neu-
trahty. In his youth Leopold
watched with uneasiness the grow
ing movement among the Flemings
for autonomy.
When he was a child, railway sta
tions in Flanders were advertised in
both French and Flemish tongues!
Brugge- e-Bruges, Gent-Gand, Meche-
lin-Malines, Yper-Ypres. Some
years ago Flemish nationalism won
its battle and now the station names
in Flanders are written only in
Flemish. The famous University Of
Client, once the well-spring of Bel
gian science and letters, was con-
verted from French-language in
stitution into q Flemish one.
Unity Is Threatened.
Under the leadership of dema-
gogues the Flemish movement
seemed to threaten q break with
the Valloons. In the face of these
disquieting possibilities Leopold
thought 1t only appropriate to con-
slider the anti-French attitude of q
large section Of his people. Conse-
quently in 1896 he severed the 1920
military alliance with France.
Since then Flemish enthusiasm for
Germany has cooled down. The
treatment of Slovakia and of Bo-
hemia has shown them that no
ideaistic motives guided the Ger
mans in advocating more rights for
the Flemish.
The v. N. v. (Vlaamsch National
Verbond-Flemish National Organi-
zation) is probably the strongest ma
tional organization. It has II depu-
ties (out of the 202 members) in
the Chamber and IL in the Senate.
The Flemish nationalists had eight
members in the Chamber in 1892,

neuvers. Then they had found
themselves on Polish soil.
Two of them were Poles from East
Prussia who had been forced into
the army and were glad to be i'm
prisoned. None had any idea that
England and France had declared
war 16 days before.
One midnight I was going to the
American Embassy when the entire
sky was fire lighted. The 8 O'Clock
curfew had rung, but the fires gave
people an excuse to be on the streets.
I turned a corner and came upon
stretcher. On 1t was a woman in
labor, with three desperate women
friends surrounding her. They
shouted at us and, as gently as we
could, we lifted the woman into a
car and rushed her to the maternity
hospital. Everything was dark, but
we placed her, moaning, on the floor
with q dozen other patients. She
grabbed and kissed our hands in
thanks.
Comic Relief Crops Up.
Sometimes there were comic in
cidents to relieve the great tension.
One night at the embassy, during
a particularly heavy shelling and
bombing. the telephone rang. An
excited voice from the Chinese Lega-
ton said the Chinese wanted to
move into the American Embassy
Immediately.
"How many are you?" asked the
American consul.
"Only TO-"
Then the consul calmed the Chi
nese down and learned that the
buildings near the Chinese Legation
were af1re and that they were des-
perate.
A. compromise was reached: We
would not take them that night, but
If their legation got af1re, they
would be welcome.
