'Brusels. July 15. Belgian pa
triotic societies are forming to take
action to prevent the German repub
lic from adopting the Belgian na
tional colors black, yellow and red
for Its flag. Intense indignation
is manifested, and this is a bit
heightened by the plea that the col
ors In' the new German emblem will
be disposed of horizontally Instead of
vertically. , , : . . ',

Belgian colors of today were chosen
by the patriots of 1830, but the revo
lutionists of that year merely took
for themselves the black, yellow and
red which . had been legendary in
Flanders and the Brahant since the
Middle Ages.
The princes of Flanders bore on
their arms a black Hon on a field of
gold, and those ot Brabant a' golden
Hon on a field of black, , The trap
pings of 'both were red. From the
13th century, therefore, the (Belgian
colors bave been black, yellow and
red. ' .-;..
The Belgians scorn the plea of the'
Germans that they have the right to
U8e. the colore because of their use
by the ancient German empire, of
which Austria was the center. Thev
assert that the contusion ' resulting
from the employment by Germany
as well as 'Belgium of the black, yel
low and red would be embarrassing

years to keep Its colors unsoiled.
