BELGIUM IN SERIOUS DIFFICULTIES.

LONDON, April 30.

It is stated in Belgian circles in Paris that unless Belgium immediate ly obtains credit for at least a hundred millions sterling, it will be impossible to save the country from irretrievable disaster. It was the seriousness of the position that brought the premier Delacroix and other ministers to Paris. It is stated the Belgian delegates emphasised to the council that unless the credit were granted it would be impossible for the Belgians to sign the peace treaty.

The Council of Three has given definite satisfactory assurances to the Belgian delegates, who communicated them to their government.
