ALBERT PLEADS
BELGIUM'S CASE
King in Paris to Get Quick
Aid in Restoring
Country

Paris, April 8. - Belgium s case
has been laid before the peace con-
ference by the most distinguished
advocate Belgium could have chosen.
King Albert has been in Paris for
the past three days, and in numer-
Gus conferences with the represen-
tatives of the great powers he has
outlined to them the needs of his
country and told them of the steps
that must be taken Immediately if
Belgium is to be restored.
King Albert has had long CONVEX
sations with President Wilson,
Colonel Edward NJ. House, Premiers
Clemenceau and David Lloyd George.
These conversations led up to his
appearance before the. Council of
Four yesterday.
A member of the Belgian peace
delegation told the Associated Press
that, shorn of all it's diplomatic
niceties, what King Albert told the
council might be summarized thus:
Council Must Act
The time of promises has passed.
If Belgium is to live the council
must act.
The Associated Press is able to
state, that three questions OF vital
imm ediate Importance to the re-
establishment of Belgium. finan-
cially, economically and politically,
were discussed. The first question
was the immediate advance to Bel
gium of about ten billion francs, the
second. the expectation to Belgium
from England and the United States
of raw materials, and the third the
cession to Belgium of the left bank
of the LEScaut river and the Lem
berg peninsula.
Equals Germany Money
The first item represents the value
of German marks left in circulation
in Belgium. After the departure of
the Germans, the ministry of finance
sent out an urgent call to holders of
the marks to deposit them in the
banks The amount was estimated
TO be about two billion, and it had
been the governments intention to
redeem them at the par value. Bel
gium was not prepared for. the
avalanche of marks that resulted.
Eight billion marks passed through
the banks windows into the vaults.
The banks were unable to redeem
this amount of paper. and deposit
tors We're merely given receipts.
stating that certain amount of
marks were held to their credit until
such time as financial arrangements
could be made to reimburse them.
The payment of an immediate in
demnity by Germany was relied
upon to enable repayment for these
deposits. The indemnity thus far
has failed to materialize. Depositors
cannot draw against these credits,
with. the result that some ten billions
of francs are idle. as the banks are
paying no interest on such deposits.
The importation of raw materials
is said to be indispensable to the
retrieving of Belgium from the eco
nomic standpoint.
The correspondent has Just return
ed from an extended trip in Belgium.
Everywhere he found manufacturers
complaining of the situation arising
from the fact, that while the Ameri-
cans and British permit expectation
into Belgium OF manufactured art
icles, they thus far have failed to
export into Belgium raw materials
which would permit of industries
resuming work.

RAINBOW DIVISION
ALL PACKED UP
First Train With Troops Will
Start For Home
Tomorrow

Coblenz, April 5.-The 42nd divi-
sion is all packed up and awaiting
the final order, "All aboard for
home" The first train with troops
from this division on board is
scheduled to leave Ahrweiler Sun
day morning. The personnel on this
train will consist of the division
headquarters staff and several small
er units. The trains will leave Sun
day afternoon and four daily there
after for six days. The transportation
officers figure on an average time
of sixty hours.
Regarding Bolshevism and the
opinions of civilians in the occupied
area, Thursdays intelligence sum-
mary says; The general idea is that
Bolshevism will die of it's own ac-
cord, and satisfaction is expressed
that it cannot make headway in the
American zone. While recognizing
that the inhabitants owe the quiet
in the region to the American troops
it is evident that the population has
no really friendly spirit for our
soldiers"
The Third army has granted spe-
cial permission to a number of con-
gressmen to address such of their
constituents as they find among the
divisions in the occupied zone. The
congressman have arrived at Cob
lenz for several days visit with
the bridgehead troops. One of those
arriving today was Representative
James P. Glynn, of Connecticut.

STATE GAVE Big
ARMY TO NATION
Major Murdoch Shows That
Over 100000 Drafted Men
Alone Were Accepted

Figures showing that of 225,976
Pennsylvanians drafted for war service
under the selective service act just 203.-
416 were accepted for services in the
army or navy have been compiled by
Major w. G. Murdoch, the States
chief draft officer. Data from each of
the 2S1 draft boards in the State was
examined to obtain these figures and it
is calculated that the percentage of
reflections at army camps or stations
was $50. These figures include 3,303
men rejected on November IL, on ac-
count of the signing of the armistice.
The percentage of reflections ranges
from 1.SS in Bucks No. / to 1853 in
Luzerne No. 5.

Watching Conditions
in Archangel Region

Paris, April 5.-The situation in
the Archangel region in northern
Russia has been forcibly brought to
the attention of the peace confer
ence by the publication in Paris of
the British statement that the troops
in the Murmansk and Archangel dis
tricts were in danger of eXtermina-
ton unless they were speedily rein
forced. Brigadier General w. P.
Richardson, u. S. A, is on his way to
take command of the American
forces in North Russia and is ex-
pected to reach Murmansk with 200
soldiers in a few days. There is
apparently no change, however, in
the avowed intention to take the
American troops out of the region
at the earliest possible date.
General Tasker H. Bliss and other
American Representatives here, while
frankly admitting the gravity of the
situation, are inclined to believe
that the troops at distant outposts
can repeat, if necessary, before an
advance by the Bolsheviki, as ar
mored trains are available for all
the Americans in the region south of
Archangel and Murmansk

Would Reconsider
New Steel Prices If
Shown Good Reason

Washington. April 5. Revised
steel prices arranged by the Indus-
trial Board of the Department of
Commerce in conference with the
producers will be reconsidered if the
board is shown good and sufficient
reason for doing So
Chairman George y. Peek issued
the following statement. the latest
development in the controversy aris-
ing from the refusal of the railroad
administration to accept the prices
on the ground that they were too
high:
II have never said nor intimated
that the Industrial Board would stand
pat on the prices formulated with
the steel industry, no matter what
objections were brought by other
departments. Shown good and suffi-
cient reason for doing so the board
will reconsider. With wisdom it
could pursue no other course"

GOVERNOR USES
VETO AXE AGAIN
War Activities" Seems to Be
Rather a Goose Term in
Bill

Four House bills were vetoed and
fourteen Senate and House bills an
nounced as signed by Governor Will
liam c. Sproul just before his de-
parture for Hot Springs, Va.
The Stadtlander bill permitting
counties, cities and boroughs to make
appropriations for entertaining, aid
ing and caring for returned soldiers,
the ground, that while the bill is
commendable lit is so loosely drawn
as not to be clearly understood" and
might in its present form give rise
to grave abuses"
The Dunn bill repeating the State
tax on horses, etc, in Philadelphia,
is vetoed on the ground that it is
unconstitutional and that the Gov
ernor does not see a good reason for
it.
In vetoing William Davis bill for
judges of counties having between
10000 and 100000 population to
employ clerical assistance, the Gov
ernor objects to the classification and
says Lancaster county would come
within the purview of the act, while
Dauphin county would not come
within its terms. l think it is a
matter of common knowledge that
the work of the courts of Dauphin
county exceeds that of Lancaster
county,"
The Dithrich bill amending divorce
laws is vetoed with this statement:
Il am of the opinion that there is
no necessity for this bill. The law
as it no wstandts, permits the courts
where there is a decree of divorce
entered at the suit of the wife on a
charge of cruelty on the part of her
husband to allow support of alimony
in the decree, if in the opinion of
the court such an order may be prop
er. The subject matter of this bill
is one that the courts can take care
OF in entering DEGREES and is not
proper to be treated legislatively."
Bills signed by the Governor in
cluded the following:

Providing for salary of county So
licitor to be fixed by Commissioners

ELECTION RETURN Law
IS MISSISSIPPI PLAN

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. .. (Spl)--It
y stated that an effort will be made
IT the legislative, session in January to
secure an amendment to the primary
election laws that will impose a severe
penalty on counties that fail to send in
their official returns within a specified
period.
At yesterdays meeting of the Demo-
cratic state executive committee Of
fetal returns were lacking from six
counties, although one fun week had
elapsed since the primary, and the COM
mittee's declaration Of results was based
on unofficial returns from these six
counties, sent to Secretary of State
Power at his personal request. Doubt
less these figures were correct, but they
are not duly certified by the constituted
authorities.
The amendment to be introduced, It is
stated, will provide that when . county
committee fails to send the official re-
turns to Jackson within Is hours after
results are declared, the vote of that
county will be thrown out, insofar as
state and district officers are concerned.
A law Of this sort. it is believed, will be
productive of more efficient election
service,
Tuesdays meeting 1of the Democratic
state executive committee, after results
had been ascertained by the subcommit-
tee appointed to tabulAte the vote, was
short and to the point. Adjournment
was taken Immediately after the formal
motion declaring results was adopted.
: Gov. Theo. @. Bilbo, Gov. ELECT Lee M.
Russell and ,Lieut.-Gov. select H. H.
Gasteel were in the assembly chamber,
but neither vas invited to make an adj
dress, q forynality that has heretofore
been observed at meetings Of this sort.
No il-feelings were e~ngendered over
the contest for acknowledgements
despite the c~loseness of the result,
when the subcommittee completed the
t~abulation. which had been closely
watched by the two candidates, John
r. Frierson and II. H. Casteel, the
former handed the latter a letter of con
gratulations, shook hands and left the
office Of Secretary OF State Power with
a smile on his face. Casteel's majority
was only 1874 votes.
One Of the singular features Of this
contest was the big majorities given
Casteel in the counties OF Warren and
Harrison, which the Frierson supporters
attributed to the antiprohibition senti-
ment in those counties. Mr.. Casteel op-
posed several prohibition measures dur
ing his four-year term In the senate,
and Harrison and Warren gave him biz
majorities despite the fact that both
counties were carried by Johnston in
the race for governor.
