Belgian interests IT the coal lands OF
Northern France and Russia. To these
cases IL WAS necessary 20 extend
semi-industrial banking inspection and
control.
The last parry against the unscrupu-
lous manipulations Of our enemies was
the putting of Belgian banks under re-
ceivership control. AZ England ex-
tended her economic operations even
TO the colonies, 10 the Straits Settle
ments and Yves. Africa, aiming at the
complete destruction Of our foreign
trade, and when France sequestered
private property, Germany saw itself
forced 20 take corresponding stand.
In Belgium there are numbers Of Eng
lish and French credit and industrial
undertakings which were operating as
Belgian firms, but IL was not until
February, 1915, that Germany sequss-
tered the fund, of these undertakings
Seven banks in Brussels and Antwerp

necessary.
COMPANIES in Receivership.
The reasons for this action are 20
prevent payments from reaching the
enemy resources, % protect the inter
ests OF German creditors, 10 protect
German property owners, 20 breathe
life into the business interests Of the
country, 20 transfer the various bust
nesses into other hands 20 insure their
operation, 20 prevent the transfer Of
property 20 neutrals, 10 satisfy Bel
gian claims so that they can proceed
to satisfy German creditors, and 70
extend German interests in q selling

At this date the receivership has not
been applied TO certain classes Of un-
dertakings such as public utilities
trust companies and the Congo Com
pany, and it Is not likely that it will
be in future. A simple supervision is
all that has been necessary. A techni-
cal director has been put over gas,

BerIin. Dec. 20. -lnasmuch as II Is
10 Germany's political as well az mill
tary interest to restore normal condi-
lions back OF the lines occupied by
ber troops as soon as possible, civil
government, under the Governor Cen
eral and q civil governor, was estab-
lished in Belgium on August 26, 1914
One of the many fields Of activity
Of this civil government was the reor-
ganization Of money and banking after
the occupation.
To begin with, those banks and
banking firms which had any dealings
whatsoever with enemy states were
put under particularly strict surveii-
lance in order TO prevent any move
ment OF values beyond our control.
This was somewhat in the nature OF
reprisal for the manner in which Eng
land had interfered with the opera
tions Of German branch banks and
made them liquidate, measure OF
economic WhTlhIc qulJe "lOh""b prov"
dent.
1t was important for our soldiers
that Belgium be restored at once TO
financial equilibrium, which would
permit her to support the troops there
stationed. A general comptroller, later
given the title Of general commissar,
was placed over all banks, with par
ticular emphasis on the Belgian
branches of banks enemy-owned. High
Councillor of Finance Won Lumm, di-
rector Of the Reichsbank, was ap-
pointed.
En4my Banks Sequestered.
September Ia, 1914, the German Fed
eral Council decreed: Belgian branch
banks with headquarters in enemy
countries may engage in no new BUSH
ness, and may only conduct their bust
ness TO the extent Of current liquldG-
ton.
Belgian banking firms proper, for
the duration Of the war, may conduct
bus iness freely so long as their opera
tons cannot be construed as inimical
20 German interests and in particular
do not aid in transferring capital val
ues out Of the county"
No surveillance vas maintained at
the time over industrial concerns, for
il was taken for granted that no divi-
bends would be declared that were
transferable value, 20 say nothing Of
the fact that such surveillance would
have been practically impossible.
There were, however, In Belgium

LONG BOWLING JAUNT

]. NJ. McGregor, who, with Darrell
Hamlet, started from Rock Island on
a bowling tour of Iowa and Wisconsin,
returned to this city from Dubuque,
where he left Hamlet. Mr. McGregor
stated that If the weather became too
warm, the trip would be abandoned.
Hamlet rolled in Dubuque Saturday.
At Waterloo the champion averaged
200 even for 81 games and at Dyers-
Vile he averaged 1876 for so games. At
Cedar Falls, Hamlet smashed his old
high average record, made in Daven-
port last fall, when he averaged 207
for 10l games. V. n. Wyld, proprietor
Of the alleys there, who is also candi-
date for county auditor, entertained
the Islanders in fine style Hamlet
may return to Rock Island in a few
days.
While in Cedar Rapids McGregory
arranged for a match game for a $500

be rolled there and five here, to the

MULLICAN IS OFF
CUBS FIRST TEAM
DOolan Back in Shape Again and Tink.
er Stages Surprising Shakeup
in Cubs Lineup.

Tampa, Fla, March 27.-Another
scrambling of the downcast but des-
perate Cubs took place yesterday. 1t
is believed that the players have re-
ceived their final assignments for the
trip north, as President Weeghman
put his o. X. on the two teams before
he started for Chicago at noon yester-
day.
Frank Schultz now has figured in
three switches. He was first assigned
to the second squad, then a change of
heart was experienced by some one
and he was put on the first team. Now
comes the last blow, and Wildfire goes
back to the Yannigans. With him go
Packard, Mulligan and Zeider, who
found Berths on the first squad, either
on the first or the second switch.
There was considerable surprise,
though, that Mulligan, who has been
playing great ball, was sent to the
Yannigans. 1t is interpreted to mean
that Doolan's legs are in working Or
der and likewise his wing.
Houston, Texas, March 27.-The
White Sox lined up against Houston
yesterday afternoon just as they will
appear on opening day at Chicago but
it took some tall pill-smashing to save
the crew from the disgrace of a Texas
league defeat. The majors had to
travel II innings to get a 12-to-9 YER
dict in a game featured by many base
hits and some weird outfielding by the
Rowland gardeners
Before the contest the Sox boss told
Jim Scott that he was going to send
him the route against the local club
bers with Schalk behind the plate, the
battery that probably will work in the
initial A. l.. game of 1916. The infeld
was the same as on Saturday, with
Weaver and Terry working like ma
chimes, and outside of the outfield
work and the fact that Death Valley
Jim was swatted hard at opportune
moments, the contest furnished a treat
for the home folks, about 1000 in num-
ber
