Black flags seen flying from all most every building in Brussels believe to be flown

Black flags seen flying from all most every building in Brussels believe to be flown following the loss of the Leige Forts to the Germans. The coming of the German troops was kept a secret from the people of Brussels until the last minute. The proclamation of the mayor hit the people like a clap of thunder. The mayor went out to meet the troops and upon their appearance had a white flag held aloft. He talked then with a German officer and received from the latter the assurance that nothing would happen to the people if they would give up all acts of violence towards the Germans.
