On Thursday, June 14th, M. Theunis, the Belgian Prime Minister,

resigned with all his Cabinet as a result of the deadlock on the question of the University of Ghent. The resignation, according to the Brussels correspondent of the Times, was quite unexpected, but Ministers, when they found that the deadlock was complete, felt that they had no other course. As long as possible the Government had remained neutral on the University problem, but the point was reached where neutrality had to be abandoned as a solution was indispensable to the conduct of business. M. Theunis afterwards accepted the invitation of the. King to reconstitute the Cabinet.
