man imperial chancellor in the course
of his speech before the reichstag main
committee on Thursday.
The present occupation of Belgium
only means that we have a pawn for
future negotiations" the chancellor
said
we have no intention to keep Bel
gium in any form whatever"
What we precisely want as ex-
pressed by. us on February 24,'' the
chancellor continued. 'is that after the
war restored Belgium shall, as a self
dependent state. not be subject to
anybody as vassal and shall live with
US in good friendly relations
Il have held this point of view
from the beginning in regard to Bel
gium and 1 still hold it today. This
side of my policy is fully in conform
ity with the general lines, the direc-
ton of which. I yesterday clearly laid
before you.
We are waging the war as a war
of defense as we have done from the
tendency and every tendency to
world domination has been remote
from our minds.
What we want is the inviolabiIity
OF our territory, open air for the ex-
panslon of our people in the economic
domain and naturally. also, security
IN regard to the future. This is COM
pIetely in 1nformity with my point
OF view in regard to Belgium, but how
this point of view can be established
IN detail depends upon future nego-
tlatlonS, and on this point I am .un-
able to give binding declarations"

sonally subscribed for 100 tickets,

Trappers Realize Big
Money These Days

Allentown, Pa.-Although Lehigh
county is so thickly settled that fur
bearing animals are much scarcer
than ever before, the price of furs,
on account of the war, has jumped
to such figures that the men engaged
in trapping have never made so
much money.
Several years ago the boys who
trapped muskrats were glad to get
] ! cents for the skin, muskrats now
command all the way from 60 to SIS
cents. Many women do not know
that when they buy a Hudson seal
coat for $500 to $3.50 they get musk
rat caught in New York, Pennsylva-
mia or Delaware, which three states
furnish the finest muskrat skins in
the world. A boy from the lower end
of the county several days ago
brought to Allentown half dozen
skunk skins. He imagined them
worth possibly IS, and was astound-
cd when they realized him So apiece.
