The situation In Belgium, growing out of the so cialistic demands for universal suffr age, are darker than jever this morn ing.

"The workmen of Brussels, in a monster meeting, will show to the government the feeling that exists here. We are urging the men to re main absolutely pacific, but minor conflicts, such as have occurred, are hardly avoidable, in view of the ex cited feeling that prevails and the fact that the younger men are diffi cult to control, especially in view of the &ggressive attitude of the police." Regarding the demonstrations against the king last Wednesday, he declared it was quite unpremeditat ed. "Nevertheless," said he, "we ap prove it and favor any demonstra tion of a peaceful character which will show the king that we want re vision. It is true that cries of 'Vive republique' were raised but wo so cialists favor a republic, though our immediate aim Is the revision of the constitution." 9b CHILDREN IDENTIFIED AS "?"
