LIFE IN BRUSSELS
PLACATING THE PEOPLE GERMANS' CHANGED ATTITUDE (Rec. February 3, 5.15 p.m.) London, February 2. A lady who has returned from Brussels says the arrogance of the Germans was unbearable, bnt suddenly this was changed and it became known they were ordered to placate the population. Their efforts, however, are fruitless. The people hold themselves aloof do not converse except to answer questions, and do not remain in the cafes with Germans. The latter endeavour to prevent citizens departing, fearing that news will reach the outside world. British and French newspapers are brought in secretly. It was a "joy day" in Brussels when Flight Commander Davies bombed the German barracks, the Belgians shouting with glee.—("Times" and Sydney "Sun" Services.)
