Crossword-Solution: BRUXELLOIS 10 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 19

Austin was out playing dominoes at the café of a Thousand Columns, with some Bohemianishly-disposed Bruxellois.

Placarded on the walls was a notice signed by the Burgomaster--the celebrated Adolphe Max--informing the Bruxellois that in spite of the resistances of the Belgian army it was to be feared the enemy might soon be in occupation of Brussels.

Sometimes he proposed that she should take a hand, even become a salaried subordinate; compose articles for his subsidized paper, "_L'Ami de l'Ordre_" (nicknamed "L'Ami de L'Ordure" by the Belgians), "_La Belgique_," "_Le Bruxellois_," "_Vers la Paix_." He would allow her a very free hand, so long as she did not attack the Germans or their allies or put in any false news about military or naval successes of the foes of Central Europe.

Her personality was first definitely noted by the Bruxellois the day that von Bissing's funeral cortège passed through the streets of Brussels on its way to Germany.

The first real check to the German Army in its second march on Paris--that which followed its crossing of the Marne near Dormans--was prophetically greeted by the Bruxellois as the turning of the tide.
