Brussels. Belgium, Sept. 24.-The
German administration in Belgium
has SO far succeeded in reconstructing
the financial system Of the country
that a number of the larger business
es, such as the big factories. coal
mines and banks. which practically
came to a standstill year ago. have
been able to resume operations.
The withdrawal of the directors of
the National Bank of London in Au
gust. 1914, who took with them its
gold stock and the plates for printing
notes, left the country without a solid
basis for its currency system. Notes
were in circulation, but there was no
gold with which to redeem them: and
there was danger that the circulation
might be further expanded through
new issues Of the Belgian Government
in London. which could easily be
struggled into the country. Soon after
7 the occupation Of Belgian territory
the German government deputized DIR.
Won Lumm. one of the most efficient
directors Of the Reicsbank, to proceed
to Belgium and take in charge the re-
Mobilization of the currency system.
AS the officials of the National Bank
had refused to return to Brussels or
restore its assets, it became necessary
to find new way of securing the note
circulation.
At the same time the German au-
thOrities were levying war contribu-
tons upon various Belgian cities to
raise money for meeting the expenses
of governing the occupied territory
contributions which could not easily
be raised in the form of cash. The
cities were therefore asked to issue
their certificates of Indebtedness pay
able at some future time, and it was
decided to use these as one form OF
security for new notes, besides bank
balances abroad. German gold and
other currency. AS the National Bank
had refused to continue the further
discharge of its functions, the note
issuing power was conferred upon the
Societe General de Belgique, the oldest
and largest banking company of the
country.

circulation. Especially its smaller
notes are in great demand. the silver
currency having long ago disappeared
by reason Of boarding.
Two other important financial tasks
| had to be taken in hand. One was the
fixing Of indemnities to be paid for
supplies of staple goods-like coal and
other raw materials-which had been
taken over by the military authorities
| for the armies; the other was the abo-
lition Of the moratorium which had
been in force since the war began. The
settlement Of the indemnities was
complicated by the fact that the goods
| in question were in many cases not
owned outright, but were still to be
paid for by the persons from whom
they were seized. The commission
having this matter in hand was. how
ever authorized to pay in advance
half Of the value Of such goods. pend
ing the final adjustment, in order that
manufacturing and other business
concerns might as soon as possible
come into possession of money with
which to resume operations.
The moratorium: on the other hand,
presented difficulties which have not
yet been overcome. After hearing the

Chris Gelhaus seriously injured when
the car in which they, with three other
young people were riding about mile
and half northwest of Ledyard, turn
ed turtle. The hub cap struck Miss
Phillips head, crushing the skull and
killing her instantly. Young Gelhaus'

fright that followed temporarily bereft

the loss of life, he fled to his fathers
home, half a mile away and from
there dragged himself after becoming
SO weak he could walk no further, int

cupants of the car, all children of farm
people living near Ledyard, a small
town in the northern part of Kossuth

i they drove along. and before Gelhaus
could stop the car it had run off the
grade. He attempted to turn too short
in getting back. Three other girls were
In the car, but none of them were hurt.
They were thrown clear Of the car, and

DIES MONIES MAN THINKS PED
PIE WOULD GIVE THEIR GAS
RATE REFUND. .

Des Moines, Oct. 27.-Ed Sunberg,
deputy sheriff, has advanced the moss
novel idea to support the Associated
Charities for the coming hard winter
proposed for years. He thinks that the
club women and settlement workers
can easily raise 100000 for charity
+ 81 a period Of several years while the
80 cent gas case was in the courts, and
before the city won, the Capitol City
Gas company charged the old higher
rate the people paying under protest:
Now that the supreme court has held
the 80 cent ordinance valid, the people
have refund of 100000 from the COM
pany Sandberg thinks every man and
woman with the refund coming would
be willing to give 1t to charity, and sug-
gests that the club women cut the city
into districts and make a house to
house canvass and secure signatures to
q document transferring this refund to
the Associated Charities. The CLUB
could collect the money from the COM
pany and turn it over.
