BELGIAN DISORDERS
TROUBLE NOW OVER POLICE GUARDING THE CITY Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright BRUSSELS, June 24. The disorders are over. _ Extra police are now guarding the city. [A message from Brussels on June 9 read; Armoured cars and police rushed to the scene when 30 Croix de Feu ex-servicemen marched past the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and flung their medals on the grave as a protest against the Bill passed in the Chamber of Deputies and now before the Senate pardoning war-time traitors who attempted, with German help, to create an independent State. The exservicemen were eventually admitted to the Senate and allowed to protest against the passage of the Bill, after which they returned to the tomb and swore in French and Flemish to shoot the traitors if the Bill was passed.]
