DAMAGE TO BELGIUM
IS NEAR 3 BILLIONS
Some Big Items That Figure in
Bill Which Germany Must
Pay.

Some of the items which figure OF
Germany's bill in Belgium are given a.
follows from an official Belgian source
Local contributions and fines levied
by Germany on Belgium in 1914, $40,
100000.
War contributions from November
1914, to October, 1915, $780,, 100000.
War contributions, seven months to
May, 1917, $70,0OO,OOO.
War contributions from May, 1917,
to May, 1918. $1140OO,OO0.
War contributions from June to Oc-
tober OF the current year, $4,000 900.
Raw materials and machinery taken
by the Germans were reckoned by
them In January, 1915, at $500 900, 900.
The damage to December, 1914, esti-
mated by the North German Gazette,
amounted to sSO0.OOO,OOO. This makes
a grand total of 81, 921 100000.
These items do not include material
destruction and acquisitions since JAN
uary, 1915, which alone must be reck-
oned at several hundred million dol
lars.
During the winter Of 1916 Belgian
workmen to the number of 1,75O,OOO
were deported to Germany. The fu-
ture production of these men was thus
totally lost to their country.

JURY PAYS FINE

finding ]. T. Page guilty of disturbing

cording to Pages story, he was In a sa.

G. G. Lind, the bartender. he said, in
suited the flag. Page sought to make
Lind kiss the flag in apology. Lind
refused and Pnge struck him. Stur-
man caused Pages arrest on a charge
Of disturbing the peace.
D. e. Curley, foreman of the jury,
asked the court II 1t would be logical
for the jury to pay Pages fine. When
the court said 1t would, the jurors took
up a collection. One Of the Jurors
found himself without funds and Stur-
man loaned him the money.

Rome. But the vast heap Of rubbish
has become q series Of quarries from

ed, another is growing. In what was

thousands of people live today In the
rows of small brick dwellings which
the government has assisted the Avez-
xano survivors to build. The surround
ing plain Is one of the richest grain
districts on the peninsula and, more
important than all. It still produces its
normal yield for Italy-in spite of the
defamation Of local labor caused by
earthquake and war and the difficulty
the authorities have had In finding out
side help In war time.

Who save the Italians In America

ering her forces to enter. The atten.
ton of the diplomatic world was TO.
cussed on the struggle of the German
ambassador to prevent a decision and
remain in Rome. Meanwhile soldiers
were leaving italian villages for con-
centration camps. Suddenly the news
was flashed from populous center
near the middle of the peninsula that
ten thousand people had been buried
beneath their homes In a single con-
vulsion OF the earth. A thriving town
had disappeared; within its circle, the
disaster was complete.
The nations fought on In France and
In the East, the American newspapers
gave scanty space to the Italian event.
Italy herself barely paused. Relief
workers In plenty were rushed to the
scene, the survivors were fed and
housed and all that could be reached
OF the ten thousand dead were buried.
Three months later the nation threw
itself into the European conflict, its
momentum unchecked.

F HOURS GIVEN GERMANY TO RE-
 TURN ANSWER
Marshal Foch Abruptly Turns Down Proposal For Cessation of Hostilities-Time is Up Early Monday.

Washington, Nov. S.-The question of whether Germany will surrender immediately or wait to be crushed be- tween the advancing allied and Amer ican armies on the west front and the revolution at home, rested tonight with an extraordinary conference at German great headquarters. Marshal Foch has given until II o'clock Mon- day morning, Paris time, for the answer.
 At the conference the kaiser is re- ported to be, perhaps, appearing for the last time as supreme war lord and, according to German wireless re- ports, defving the civilians who are seeking through submission to the inevitable to save something out of the wreck of an empire. 4 courier was due some time during the night with the text of the American and allied armistice terms, handed to the German envoys behind the lines this morning by Marshal Foch. He car ried the word, sent ahead by wireless, that the allied chief had refused a provisional cessation of hostilities and demanded an answer within seventy-two hours.
 The American government was ad- Nised from Paris late today of the reception of the Germans by Marshal Foch at 10:35 o'clock in the morning and its result. Secretary Lansing inn mediately made the news public at the state department. Later unoffi- cial information of the movements of the German courier and knowledge of the different roads over which he must travel for 100 miles after leaving the allied lines, led to the conclusion that he could not get back with reply be- fore tomorrow, even if not kept wait ing for decision.
 In the meantime the result is await ed here with entire confidence and calm. American and allied military men say the end must come quickly enc way or the other; that if the Ger mans are unable to agree among themselves and accept the allied terms the problem will be settled for them with no great delay. Some be- lieve that acceptance is assured and will be hastened now that a final eff fort to bubble with hostilities

CAPTAIN GLEN ALLEN
 WOUNDED IN FRANCE

According to telegram received here this morning by MT. and Mrs. H. H. Allen, their son, Captain Glen Allen was wounded in the shoulder and the foot while in action in France October 9. The telegram states that Capt. Aliens wounds are not serious and that his recovery will be speedy.
 Captain Allen was sent to France last August with a detachment which had been in the service on the Mexi- can border for some time and he was stationed near Fl Paso, Texas, just before going to the front. He is a Prescott young man of whom We feel justly proud, having gone into the service long before the world war started and with diligent work and hard study he has been steadily pro- noted from the ranks to captaincy. He received previous military train ing before entering the serNce, at the University of Arkansas. Captain Allen was married at Fl Paso, Texas, a few months before leaving for France.
