FORCIBLY EVICTED.
DISTURBANCE IN A CHURCH
(By Cable.—Press AciocUtion.—<Copyright.) (Received March 16th. 11.30 p.m.) BERLIN, March 16. During the celebration of Mass at a D-ominican Church in the Moabit quarter, hundreds of Poles, insisting on the instruction of their own children in Polish, entered, and, at a given signal, seventy children rushed towards the altar, chanting and chattering in Polish. Pandemonium ensued, but as the priests had been forewarned, some eighty policemen wore in attendance, and ejected the intruders. Many women became violent, clung to the pews, threw themselves on the floor, and were forcibly dragged out into the street.
