Our tyrants appeared greatly to fear popular demonstrations. The people of Liége had planned to honour, on the 6th August, in the cemetery, the soldiers who died for their country during the defence of the city in August 1914. Immediately the Germans made public their restrictive measures. CITY OF LIÉGE. _To the Population._ Colonel von Soden, Commandant of the Fortress of Liége, has just addressed to me the following letter (in translation):-- "In the course of the morning of Friday, the 6th August, commemorative ceremonies will take place at the tombs of the soldiers killed in combat. "I beg you to bring the foregoing to the notice of the population. "I particularly insist that, during the visit to the tombs, or in case of participation in the military ceremonies, no demonstrative manifestation of any kind must occur." LIÉGE, _the 2nd August, 1915_. THE BURGOMASTER, G. KLEYER. (_Posted at Liége._) The people of Liége retorted by putting their shops in mourning, and on the 6th August it was an impressive spectacle to see the shop-windows throughout the centre of Liége hung with deep violet. _School Inspection by the Germans._ In the schools the children were for a long time able to sing _La Brabançonne_ on the sly; but this was not to last. The German authorities passed a decree against Germanophobe demonstrations in the schools. ORDER. _Article First._ The members of the teaching staff, school managers and inspectors, who, during the occupation, tolerate, favour, provoke, or organize Germanophobe manifestations or secret practices will be punished by imprisonment for a maximum term of one year. _Article Second._ The German authorities have the right to enter all classes and rooms of all schools existing in Belgium, and to supervise the teaching and all the manifestations of school life with a view to preventing secret practices and intrigues directed against Germany. _Article Third._ Whosoever shall seek to oppose or prevent verifications and inquiries relating to infractions mentioned in Article 1, or the measures of supervision ordained by Article 2, is liable to a fine of 10 to 1,500 marks or to a maximum imprisonment of six months. _Article Fourth._ The infractions provided against in Articles 1 and 3 shall be tried by the military courts.
