.BELGIUM WANTS LEFT BANK OF SCHELDT RIVER

Terms to be Demanded at Peace Conference Now Be.V ing Outlined Loss Set at Six Billions. (By Associated Press) BRUSSELS. Nov. 27. "Belgium mnn have the left bank of the Scheldt." nd this demand should be f made at the peace conference it is ' agreed by all parties In Belgium. The !" correspondent has talked with many diplomats, ministers and members of " parliament and they all agree on Belplum occupation of the left bank of; the Scheldt. The Scheldt River flows through Belgium on most of its course. North of Antwerp the Scheldt enters Hol- '' land. This situation id awkward for Belgium in that entrance to its principal port is controlled by another nam tion. Some extremists say that Belgium's natural frontier in the East is the left bunk of the Rhine, while a more moderate group would be contented with the cession of Luxemburg. So far as the payment for losses is concerned, Belgium reckons her losses unofficially at $6,600,000,000. r"The amount may seem excessive," said an eminent Belgium financier, "but Belgium's losses are not all as visible as the ruins, which, heaven knows,, are plentiful enough. A stranItcr may enter Bruges, Ghent and Brussels, which are virtually intact except for the Bruges railway stations, and be under the impression that the cities suffered nothing. "In the first year the Gernians exacted 40,000,000 francs a month, in the second jear 50,000,000 francs, and in the third year 60,000,000 francs." .!TAFT IN FAVOR OF NATIONS' LEAGUE PITTSBURG, Pa., Nov. 27 Former t President William Howard Taft intends to "hammer away on the league - of nations idea." He made this declaration here today, after he arrived for an address before the Chamber of .. Commerce, which is one of a series of speeches he is scheduled to deliver throughout the country. "There would be no more inconsistrncy between the national feeling in each country, which is very desirable ti maintain, and the formation of a league of nations," he said, "than there is between love of family and love of country." He waved aside impatiently the fuggestlon that such a league would threaten the sovereignty of existing nations. "No treaty has ever been made in the past," he added, "In which these nations have not in making these treaties sacrificed some of their sovereignty." When asked it he thought a league of nations would prevent wars In the future, he replied. mere is always the human element to be reckoned with even among nations. A league of nations will very much reduce the probability of war." Holland Intellectuals Will Be Sent to U. 5. (By Associated Press) THE HAGUE, Nov. 27. In order to bring Into closer touch the scientific prd intellectual forces in Holland and the United States, Leyden University, t the suggestion of the Dutch government, has commissioned Prof. Yan Vollenhoven. one of the world's leading authorities on international law, to accompany Minister Cremer to Washington where the professor will make a long stay. Influential circles have long been urging Holland .to follow France's example in sending out intellectuals of the typo of Bergson and Tardieu to visit and lecture in other countries, and Prof. Vollenhoven's appointment Is regarded as the result of that movement.

TOWN-BRED FARMER

I IT "X l - ! I

For the fifth time, a plain, unassumingfarmer from Rosthern, Saskatchewan, captured the world's championship for the best bushel of spring wheat, at the International Dry Farming Congress at Kansas City, Mo., and walked away with two $500 cups. The man is Seager Wheeler, the most famous farmer on the continent, and winner of more prizes than you'd take the trouble to count. Robert J. C. Stead in his new book, "The Cowpuncher," makes his hero say: "It isn't a man's job that makes him sick of his job; it's what : he thinks of his job." Seager i Wheeler has thought to such sound

Ohio and Indiana Fuel Heads U rged Natural Gas Conservation

A joint telegram from Evans Woollen, Indiana Fuel Administrator and Ohio State Fuel Administrator Frantz was sent to James A. Garfield yesterday afternoon requesting him to issue an order at once compelling all industrial concerns in Indiana and Ohio to get off of the gas lines immediately and stay off until April 1. The need of restricting industrial consumers from the use of gas so that the domestic consumer may have adequate supply, and the need of immediI ate action, was put before State Fuel Administrator woollens yesterday aiternoon in Indianapolis at a conference of officials from Indiana cities using gas from the same company that supplies natural gas to Richmond and cities in Ohio. The matter had been taken up with Ohio .State Fuel Administrator Frantz and he had given Mr. Woollens full authority to take an action that he might see fit after this conference had been held. More than fifty Ohio cities have joined in this movement. Richmond was represented at the conference by John E. Peltz and T. C. Taylor, members of the Board of Public Works, and members of the Richmond Commercial Club. City Attorney McPhees of Muncie, Mayor Elliott and City Attorney George Barnard of Newcastle and officials from other Indiana cities were present. The situation that these towns will be in this winter if some such action were not taken, was placed before Mr. Woollen, and he was urged to present the case in a formal way to Mr. Garfield, national fuel administrator. Mr. Woollen and Mr. Frantz were in Washington and presented the matter in an informal way to Mr. Garfield but no demands were made at that time.

He farms because he loves it and not to make money. He hasn t grown rich growing prize winning seed, but he has had a good time. He was a town-bred boy who happened to be a born farmer and the whole world of agricultural experts, since he has been working out his ideas on his quarter section farm, has beaten a ppth to his door. It is estimated t'udt if American farmers followed his example of utmost care in seed selection and in preparing the seed bed, that the wheat crop would be An order of this nature has been issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield in parts of New York where a situation similar to that in Indiana and Ohio necessitated such a move. He even went further to control the natural gas supply by limiting the amount of gas to he consumed for domestic purposes. : f .Some efforts will probably be made to bring about legislation to establish this order permanently if it is issued by Fuel Administrator Garfield. If the use of gas were discontinued in the winter it has been stated that it would be improbable to continue its use in the summer months as the as companies which furnish Indiana and Ohio cities with gas would want to conserve it in order to supply big manufacturers in other states and thereby do away with the. long gas lines into Indiana and Ohio. CHRISTMAS BOXES SENT. EATOX, O., Nov. 27. Scores of Christmas boxes for Preble county boys in the service "over there" were prepared by the local Red Cross branch during the latter part of last week, and the consignment will be on its way at an early date. The boxes were filled by parents, sweethearts and other relatives of the soldiers and were submitted to the Red Cross for inspection and proper arrangement before being shipped.

He got the prize winning habit when he happened to send two bushels of the best wheat he had grown to the New York Land Show at Madison Square Gardens in 1911, where he captured the $1,000 in gold hung up by Lord Shaughnessy for the best hard spring wheat grown on the continent. He never studied the science of agriculture or graduated from any school but the school of hard knocks, and of nature. "It teaches a man honesty," he says, "to go into partnership with Nature."
