Will Luxembourg become a republic?

November 18, 1919

A Luxembourg dispatch received in Amsterdam said that "the Chamber today adopted a motion demanding a referendum to decide the future form of government."
The Grand Duchess has been asked to abstain from "all governmental action pending referendum." 
Liberals and Socialists supported a motion demanding Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide's abdication and the the "establishment of a republic."  The motion was rejected by the Chamber.
