ea $e CLE MNES Coase RE TE 2 BELGIANS FACE NEW CRISIS IN POLITICAL WAY Reconstruction Government: to Replace Rule of Transition Offers Problem in Blasted Nation, According to Report! BRUSSELS — SN (Corresnandskice of the Associated Press.)—Belgium. is facing a crisis in its political history. The present government comprising of six Catholics, three Liberals and three Socialists is acknowledged everywhere to be only a provisional one, a government of transition. A real government which will direct the reconstruction of Belgium is’ in the making. It is not expected that elections can be held in less than six months. Meanwhile the political fight will be waged upon a basis of universal ‘suf- frage—one man, one vote. Before the war the priests had four. votes, land owners and nobles as many) votes as they had estates in differ-- ent provinces and Socialists and Lib- erais only one vote each. The Social- ists were mostly working men and the Liberals mostly professional men: This enabled the Catholic. party to be in power for more than forty years. Under the universal suffrage system which would relegate priests and land owners to the same cate- gory as working men, doctors and lawyers, it is asserted the Catholic Party may be placed in the minority. Nevertheléss, Cardinal Mercier’s great. personality and the energy. he displayed in behalf of Belgians dur- ing the war is said to have greatly helped the cause of the Catholic Party. r One cause: of bitterness and ani- mosity in Belgium is the Flemish movement which. now is: practically | dead owing to the efforts of the late! German Governor Von Bissin; make use of it to divide mere Tae two parts. It is expected that the Flemish movement will revive when. life resumes: normal conditions but it is held in abeyance now thru fear that it: might be construed as» Ger-- man propaganda. King Albert in his speech to the Parliament after re-- turning to Brussels announced that the government will propose a bill to create the basis of a Flemish’ uni- versity at Ghent reserving the de- tails to the new Parliament to be elected later. Pro-Germans and “activists” who| supported the German scheme to drive a wedge between the Flemish and the Walloons in Belgium are now + ostracized socially. Many ‘arrests have been made in Brussels, Ghent and Bruges. The. people of Ghent divide their hatréd and bjtterness evenly between the Germans and the “activists.” Bruges is filled with a deep-rooted hatred of / everything German while Brussels ridicules both pro-Germans and “activists.” In Bruges 153 women who deal with Germans were beaten and their hair was shorn. In Ghent pro--Ger- mans and “activists,” both men and women were physically punished. SQUELCHING FRENGH TONGUE. 1S: FAILURE By FRANK J. TAYLOR | (United Press Staff Correspondent) STRASSBURG — (By Mail.)— German efforts to stiffel the French nationality in Alsace and Lorraine by prohibiting the use of the French language have not succeeded. French came back the day the Germans signed the armistice, to the surprise of many German officials. During the war it has been strictly prohibited to use a single word of French. Numbers of cases are cited to you in Colmar and Strassburg of men and women serving periods of several days in jail for greeting friends with the French, “Bon jour.” But “verboten” edicts have failed to stop the language from prospering. Little tots not’ more than 4 and 5) years old, who could not. talk when the anti-French edict went into ef- fect, speak French among them- selves, and sing French songs at the top of their voices. They have been taught in secret, and many families have suffered pun- ishment for their French conversa- tions, but they refused to be squelched. Numbers of peoplée speak German more commonly than Byehch however, though they protést that it is Alasatian they are using. Befdre the war French was allowed in schools for one hour a day’ only ) Metz perhaps is the most German city of all Alsace-Lorraine. This is explained by the fact that it was bordered headquarters for Germans, numbers of whom held government positions, which they had monopoliz- ed at the expense of, the Alsatians. German smugglers and merchants formed a large factor in the popula- tion. ———E—EE Hugo Ohenstein, a prominent Chey- enne broker, left yesterday for Lusk on business after a several days’ vis- it in Casper. “ ‘ Many persons have the idea. that there is a cork-tree, but in reality cork is the bark of a species of oak tree which grows in great abundance Fe in Spain, Italy and certain parts of France.
