OUSTED BRITON QUITS PARIS FOR BRUSSELS.

Paris, April 17—Alastair [sic] Crowley, who asserts he was a British secret service agent during the World War, left Paris today for Brussels after his French identity card had been taken from him by the government. Withdrawal of the identity card is tantamount to expulsion from France. Crowley said yesterday he know nothing of any charges against him but is going to Brussels in the hope of ultimately being able to return to Paris, where he has lived for six years. He enjoys some reputation as a writer on Rosicrucian doctrines and magic.
