must have the left bank OF the
Scheldt "and this demand should be
made at the peace conference. 1t is
agreed by all political parties in Bel
gium. The correspondent has talked
with many diplomats, ministers and
members of parliament and they all
agree on Belgian occupation OF the
left bank of the SCheldt.
Some extremists say that Belgium's
natural frontier in the east is the left
bank of the Rhine while more mod
crate group would be contented with
the cession OF LuXemburg.
So far as the payment for losses
is concerned, Belgium reckons her
losses unofficially at $4,000, 900, 900
francs.
The Scheldt river flows through
Belgium on most Of its course. North
Of Antwerp the Scheldt enters Hol-
land. This situation Is awkward for
Belgium In that entrance to its prin-
cipal port Is controlled by another
nation.
The amount may seem excessive

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2s.-Reports
from Brussels that Belgian leaders
hold that Belgium must have the

received today by Or. w. II. de

"I have not a woEh officially to

said. Naturally I can not credit
the fact that so important a diff
Guilty has arisen.
Two things make 1t very unlike
ly. The first is that the territory
has always been in the possession OF
Holland and that there has never
been any controversy over Its owner
ship between the two nations. The
second Is that the aid and succor
extended to Belgium during her
many distresses in the war, and the
support given thousands and thous-

would make il impossible that any
feeling such az that described should
be held among Belgians against my

1t is a mistake to attempt frocks
which fit the figure of the growing
girl. Those mothers are far wiser
who stick to the rather shapeless me
piece things which neither conceal
nor reveal the uniformed lines of
youth. The most delightful dresses
that one has seen in a long time are
made Of soft chiffons and georgettes.
Because Of its durability and fine
service georgette is the more popular.
but chiffon is much more elegant a nd
pretty. The colors are very good
besides white which is always good
but more formal than other colors,
October browns, green's and warm
rich blues and still richer Bergundy
tones are being shown.
This frock is extremely simple and
it is this very simplicity hat makes
it smart. The girl who chooses it
will show unerring good taste. It is
fashioned of terra Gotta chiffon. Pin
tucks on the waist and Skirt form
the only trimming aside from a bit
of shirring at the neck and sleeves.
The round necktie is especially be-
coming to youth. Other noteworthy
features are the deep hem and tiny
bib effect in the front. Altogether
a charming frock for afternoon.

BRITISH POSSESS
CLEAR INFORMATION
OF FREEDOM OF SEAS

London, Dec. 11.-As a result Of in
formal conversations regarding Pres
ident Wilson's freedom of the sea-
proposals, the British government
now is in possession of concrete sug-
gestions which are more understand
able than the free seas clause in
Mr.. Wilson's GA points, according
to the Express.
President Wilson, the newspaper
says, has information showing defin-
itely that Great Britain cannot sur
render the right of search, the contra
band law and the right to enforce
blockade. 1t is understood hat Mr..
Wilson's proposals do not include the
abandonment of n of these rights
and that they are generally in no wise
antagonistic to British interests as has
been supposed.

The Deer Come to the Sunkcn
Garden.

The secret of the beavers flower
beds and vegetable gardens got out
In this way: Sammy Muskrat broke
his promise. I'm very sorry to say.
1t was a terrible thing to do, and it
was a great wrong to the hood
Beaver family.
But Sammy Muskrat told Jimmy
Coon, and Jimmy Coon is a great
traveller; and in his journeys he told
the deer all about the splendid flow
er-beds and the vegetable gardens Of
the beavers at the bottom Of Mirror
Pond. ,
And so. about ten deer came. one
night, to visit Mirror Pond, and to
help themselves to anything they
wanted to eat in these famous gar
dens under water.
Mr.. Buck Deer was the leader of
the deer. and he said, as they ran
through the Great Wood that night:
Wont it be fun to lave this great
Joke on the smart beavers. and eat
up everything in their gardens at the
bottom of the Mirror Pond? Why, we
are not afraid Of those little people.
and they couldn't hurt us any more
thar mosquitoes!"
Now 1t was coWardly for the big
Mr.. Buck Deer to talk in this boast
ing way, when he was five times big
ger than a beaver, and had great
branching antlers hat were awfully
strong and sharp. And all the deer
laughed at the timid little beavers,
and said they did not fear them any
more than they would fear fleas.
And soon the deer reached Mirror
Pond. It was a very dark night, and
very still, so that you could have
heard almost q feather fall from al
owls tail across the big pond! ST.
lently the deer waded out into Mir
ror Pond. 1t was wonderful how
little noise they made. Why, they
were as quiet as mice, although they
were so big and strong. The big
bucks waded out into deep water, and
the does waded out almost as far, but

statement regarding gray hair:
'~'Streaked. faded or. gray hair can be

WITH the WOMEN ofTODAY
By EDITH 1roR1ARTY.

Eminent n esteemed writer's, car
toonists and woman-haters have long
made fun of woman and her pet
philanthropies OF uplift work. The
woman who has been Interested in
social work. has been satirized in
books, in newspapers n on the
stage, but it has not dan1pened her
ardor any. And now with reclama-
ton work to be done abroad there is
woman who wants to do some good
in the world"
Of course many women will go to
extremes in doing reclamation york
just as they did in doing their Bit
for the men in the service, but it is
to be hoped that none will go as far
as some Chicago women did. These
women inspired by the horribleness
of the war and by its tremendous
scope, decided that they must do
something to help 'the boys" Their
plan was novel if nothing else. They
spent much time and energy in get
pencils, which they then collected
with no little effort and sent to the
soldiers to use in writing their
weekly letters home.
Women who have clear vision are
wasting their time in no such man
ner. Instead they are doing
thing for the future of their country.
Lady Loughborough is an Australian
woman engaged in such work. She
is organizing a society to care for
and educate the Belgian and French
orphans. The organization plans to
teach the orphans some trade or pro-
fession which will fit them to be self
supporting and good citizens. Lady
Loughborough is called the Mother
of the orphans"
She is the wife of Lord Lough-
borough, who was all through the
Gallipoli operations as a lieutenant
in the r. NJ. v. r. He was wounded
and later, transferred to the Kings
Royal Rifles.
