TO DEMAND ALL OF LUXEMBURG

MARTYRED NATION’S BILL TO THE HUN WILL BE $9300,000,000. Brussels, Nov. 26, —“Belgium must have the left bank of the' Scheldt,” and this demand should ibe made at the peace conference it is agreed by all political parties in Belgium. The correspondent has talked with many diplomats, ministers and members of parliament and they all agree on Belgian occupation of the left bank ot the Scheldt, Some extremists say that Belgium’s natural frontier in the east is the left bank of the Rhine, while a mere moderate group would be contented with the cessation of Luxemburg, The Scheldt river flows through Belgium on moqt of its course. North of Antwerp the Scheldt enters Hoilland, This situation is awkward for Belgium in that entrance to its principal port is controlled by another nation. So far as the payment for losses is concerned, Belgium reckons her losses unofficially at about $7,600,000,000. “The amount may seem excessive,” J said an eminent Belgian financier, ‘‘but Belgium’s losses are not all as visible as the ruins which, heaven knows, are plentiful enough. A stranger may enter Bruges, Ghent and Brussels, which are virtually; intact except for the Bruges railway station, and be under the impression that the cities suffered nothing. “It must be realized, however, that every home in these cities has been stripped of everything 'belonging to it, including woolen mattresses and copper. Then the cities were forced to pay war contributions over a period of more than four years. In the first year the Germans exacted $8,000,000 a month, in the second year $10,000,000 and in the third year $12,000,000.

PUTTS WING FOR WISSAHICKON

1 ■ I ■! ■■■ ’ UNBEATEN CAMP CRANE TEAM HUMBLED BY DROP KICK fkOM 42-YARD LINE. '- ' Reading, Nov. 23.—Seven thousand wildly enthusastic spectators jammed in the grandstand and bleachers to capacity and walled the George Field gridiron solidly on four sides, saw the Wissamickon Barracks eleven from Cape May Naval Training Station triumph over the 'hitherto undefeated Camp Crane team, 3 to 0 here this afternoon. The cold, wintry blasts from the northwest chilled the fans to the 'bone and caused frequent fumbling. A sensational field goal by Putts, the former Indiana Normal gridiron star, ■ kicked from the 42-yard line, won for ■the “jackies,” and brought Putts into the limelight. There was no scoring in the first period. Exchanges of punts by Putts and Dvorak showed that in the hooting game the sailors had the better of the argument. Putts’ punts averaging 10 yards more than the Camp I Crane captain’s, efforts. Short for-I ward passes, Reuible to Siegel, seemed I to baffle the army team, and gained I 30 yards twice in the second period. I Putts dropped back for a try at a I field goal but failed, the 'ball going I wide. On a line plunge Lampe

brought the ball up to Camp Crane’s 3-yard line, where Reuible fumbled, Putts recovering the ball. Before the ball could be put in action the whistle >lew, ending the half.

The intermission seemed to benefit the navy team and the Camp Crane line seemed unabl to stop th “jackies” heavy backs as Mey plunged their way through for gains, three time® earning first down. Reuble gave a great exhibition of zigzaggin through broken field when after fumbling, he made a quick recovery and squirmed his way through the Camp Crane squad adding 20 yards.' Putts madej two attempts at drop kicking in the i third period, and with the 'bail on Camp Crane’s 32-yard line was called on for the third try. r *x The army team thought it was a bluff play, but steadying himself, Putts, the former Indiana Normal star slowly but surely let go and booted the pigskin through the center of J the goal posts scoring 8 points, which won the game. The third period ended with the bal lon Camp Crane’s 25yard line; The Wissahickon 'line .proved a stone wall in the fourty, and final per-1 od and twice held Camp Crane fori owns. Forward passes gained 151 yards twice, but the thjrd attempt! *esulted in Garrett intercepting the! jail and going 10 yards before being I tackled and thrown to earth. Punts I were exchanged and with Camp Crane I attempting three aerial passes in sue-1 cession the final whistle blew, ending ] the struggle with the bail on the ! Army’s 35-yard line. The above extract is taken from the | Philadelphia Record, and the star mentioned in the game is our own Fred J. Putts, who was one of the best | football players on the Rensselaer | hgih school team. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Putts, who live just south of this city. Fred is located at Cape May, N. J.
