"A few days ago a military concert was given [at Antwerp], but
upon the band striking up the tune of 'Heil dir im Siegerterang'
the people hooted. They were thereupon charged by the police, and
since that occasion mitrailleuses have been posted in front of the
German musicians."
_Glasgow Evening Times._
In this matter our sympathies are with the audience, because (1) It
was surely entitled to hoot a band which did not know the name of its
own National Anthem; (2) The police should not have been allowed to
make any charge at a free concert.
