London, Oct. 20. The Belgian police have served an expulsion order upon the "notorious" Trebitsch Lincoln, who after being in China, recently returned to Germany in the garb of a Buddhist monk."
He is known as Chao Kung in Chinese Buddhist circles.
He reached Belgium from Ger-

Meanwhile a call had been sent for further rein- forcements and numbers of the rioters were taken into custody. They appeared in various London police- courts this morning. Thirty of them charged with various offences connected with the rioting and window smashing, escaped with fines and a warning. Several others were sentenced to short terms of imprisonment.
It is stated in evidence that from the moment of the original outbreak, the rioters set up war cries of "Up the Reds! Use your heavy weapons and missiles." already left for Germany-Reuter.
The unemployed demonstration was staged as a protest against the Means Test and the object of the march was the County Hall, Westminster, the head- quarters of the L.C.C. A spirit of destructiveness ran through the crowd after the first clash with the police and numerous shops had their windows smashed and at- tempts were made to loot shop premises. In most cases, police charges cleared the streets before the would-be looters got seriously to work.

France, Spain, Denmark and Poland strongly advocat ed the suppression of the private manufacture of arms, Britain, Italy, Japan and the United States upheld the rights of the private manu- facturer.
The sub-committee agreed upon a questionnaire to be submitted to the interested governments thougli.. the Japanese representative sald frankly that his government was not likely to reply-Reutàr.
