from Brussels that Belgian leaders hold that Belgium must have the left bank of the Scheldt river, were re- ceived today by Dr. w. H. DeBeau- fort, Charge D'Affairs, with open in- credulity.
 ''I have not a word officially to in- dicate that my government has even heard of such an agitation among Belgians," Dr. DeBeaufort said. "Na- turally, I cannot credit the fact that so important a difficulty 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 It's own- ership between the two nations. The second is that the aid and succor ex- tended to Belgium during her many distresses in the war, and the SUD- port given thousands and thousands of refugees now in Holland would make it impossible that any feeling sch as that described should be held among Belgians against my coun- try"

SURPRISE GREETS BElGIUM'S DEMAND
 LEFT OF SCHELDT
Stated This Territory Has Always Been Recognized as Belohging
 to Holland.

Brussells, Nov. 26.-(By the Asso- : ciated Press. Belgium must have the left bank of the Scheldt" and this demand should be made at the peace conference, it is agreed by all political parties in Belgium. The correspondent has talked with many diplomats, ministers and members of parliament and they all agree on the Scheldt.
 Some extremists say ~that Bel~ gium's natural frontier in the east is the left bank of the Rhine while a more moderate group would be contentad with the >cessior of Lux emburg.
 So far as the payment of losses is concerned, Belgium recokns her losses unofficially at O,00o,O0O francs.
 ''The amount may seem excessive" said an eminent Belgian > financier, "but Belgium's losses are not all as visible as the ruins which, heaven knows, are plentiful enough. A stran- ger may enter Bruges, Ghent and Brussells, which are very intact ex- cept for the Bruges railroad sta tions, and be under the impression that the cities suffered nothing.
 Tt must Gbe realized, however, that every home in these cities has been stripped of everything belonging to it, including copper, and woolen mat tresses. Then the cities were forced to pay war contributions over a period of more than four years. In the irst year the Germans exacted forty million francs a month, in the second year fifty million francs and in the third year sixty million francs"
 The Scheldt river flows through Belgium on most of hs course. North of Antwerp the Scheldt enters Hol- land. This situation is awkward for Belgium in that entrance to it's prin- ciple port is controlled by another nation.

RED FLAG DISORDER
 l: QUIET IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 26.-To prevent a recurrence of the clash between so- cialists and soldiers and sailors which followed the meeting in Madison Square Gorden last night, police re- serve were hurried tonight to hall in East 58th street in which interna- tionalists had gathered to denounce capitalism.
 Several hundred men in uniform gathered outside the hall, their num- Der being augmented as the meeting progressed. They roughly handled one young woman wearing a minia- ture red flag in her hair while taking it from her.
 After the meeting started the sol diers and sailors demanded entrance, but were. held back by the police and provost guards. Representatives who entered the hall singly came back and assured the excited men outside that the red flag was not being displayed and that no disloyal utterances had been made. This did not satisfy the men in uniform, however. Some of them climbed to the parguet in front of the building and there hung an American and French flag.
 There was but one disturbance in the; hall during the meeting. This was when a soldier and several civ ilians removed red necktie from a man standing at the rear.
 The police. lined the street for a block in both directions to protect the internationalists when the meet ing ended. Women with red flowers or ribbons on their hats were ad- dressed roughly hv., the uniformed men who demanded that the offend- ing co'ors be removed. but the police kept the internationalists moving. No attacks were made on women. but several men were chased bv sailors and few were beaten. The police always had the situation well in hand however.
 New York. Nov 26.-Demonstra- tion of soldiers. sailors and r'ari"es against the red flag at the Socialist meeting at Madison Square garden last night was characterized as "rody- ism today by Police Commissioner Enright. The police, he said, were re- luctant to interfere with men in uni- form but such disorder as was com mitted last night when the service

 Salome offers the glamour of the ancient world with the pomp and splendor Of the times of Herod the king. It offers the intrigues and plot t-nss of a brilliant yet decadent court. It reveals in John the Baptist, the in- spring example of q brave. clean soul. unsullied by the lure of beauty. wealth and power, and yielding only to death when his head was demanded on a silver charger by the infuriated danc- ing girl Salome he had scorned.
 Salome offers sublime stage pictures and gorgeous pageants. It offers the history, the art. the religion and TO- nance of the mightiest figures of all times.
