BRITISH AIRMAN MARCHED THROUGH GHENT.
. GEMRANS FAIL TO PROVOKE A HOSTILE DEMONSTRATION. A brutal act, committed hy the German authorities at Ghent against a British airman, is reported in a telegram to the "Telegraaf," Amsterdam, from the frontier. The airman was taken through the streets of the city,, apparently with the idea of stirring up feeling against Great Britain among the population, some citizens having unfortunately lost their lives in the British air raids on Gorman military establishments. The result of this inexcusable treatment was not at all what the Germans expected. The crowds did not dare j to cheer the airman, but there was no doubt as to their silent sympathy.
