Several Reports of Breach.

Several times recently there have
been reports that diplomatic rela-
tions between Belgium and Holland
were strained as a result Of the de-
mands of Belgium for a revision OF
the treaty of 1889 between Belgium
and Holland. under which Holland
annexed the southern bank Of the
Scheldt river and an elongated strip
of Dutch Limburg lying between
Belgium and Germany.
Belgium based her demands upon
the necessity Of securing a stronger
military frontier and freeing the
trade of Antwerp. her great port,
from the restrictions now placed upon
it by Dutch possession of the lower
portion of the Scheldt, and asked for
political control of the southern bank
Of the river and certain guarantees
deemed necessary to safeguard Bel
gums economic interests in south
Limburg.
In return for these concessions the
Belgians suggested that Holland re-
ceive compensation in the form of
certain bits of German territory In
habited by Dutch-speaking popu-
lation.

vorably inclined toward the principle

Secretary Resumes Duties.
Secretary Daniels resumed his duties

the impassioned and the intoxicated to

the imprisoned and the intoxicated to
obtain weapons.
1t is understood that after the So
called "maniac" crimes of last week
there was a heavy buying of pistols.
Had there been proper regulation,
compelling any person to obtain a per-
nit to buy before obtaining weapon,
there would have been full liberty OF
proper defensive armament. But no
body knows how many "guns" were
bought during that rush by people in
whose hands they should never be al
lowed.
The only effective weapon regulation
is one that forbids under severe pen
atty the sale, gift or loan of pistol
to any person who has not obtained
from specified official source
a permit to obtain one, granted on
presentation of proof of identity, es-
adjustment of character and diselo-
sure of purpose. Instead of putting
the penalty upon the person who car
ries a pistol concealed upon his per-
soma most difficult thing to detect
the penalty should be put upon those
who sell, loan or give and thus strike
the evil at the source.
