Berlin, Sept. 12.-(By A. P.)-The
great amount of smuggling through the

regulated customs duties, or the i'm

Great Britain, France and the United
States agree, are advanced by the

LOUCHEUR ASSERTS
TEUTONS CAN PAY
indemnity in No Way Exceeds
Germany's Capacity, Says
French Minister
COAL MUST BE REPLACED

Paris, Sept. 12.-(By A.. P.)-
Speaking in the Chamber of Deputies
today, Luis Loucheur, minister of re-
construction, declared that the French
financial claims upon Germany in no
wise exceeded the ~latter's capacity to
pay.
He added the Germans have always
been hard workers and possessed of
much commercial, industrial and agri-
cultural initiative, and pointed out the
yield of grain per acre has always been
higher in Germany than in France. He
declared that it was reasonable to ex-
pect that every German activity would
be devoted to the task before that
country.
NJ. Loucheur said it would take five
years to place the northern France
coal mines on n pre-war footing, during
which time the Germans must supply
the 20, 200 900 tons of coal they de-
stroyed. German coal, he said, now
had begun to be delivered to France at
the rate of 1 ,663, 900 tons a month, and
1t, was hoped that soon this would be
raised to $500, 900 tons.
To an objection that Germany would
pay her debts with money borrowed
from the Allies, NJ. Loucheur replied
that, in view of the development of
world traffic., the situation was not so
grave as it looked to be. He ~reckoned
that the German citizen would be taxed
one and one-half times more than the
French citizen.
The minister said, amid protests from
the extreme left, that he did not be-
lieve in naturalization. He advocated
more up date banking methods, and
finally appealed to his hearers to deal
broad -mindedly with the Germans, in
asmuch as economic relations with Ger
many were necessary, whether we like
it or not"

the crowded house. After he had finished

TO LEAVE
WHITE RUSSIA SOON
Evacuation Delayed by Remov-
ing People to Safety, Says
Winston Churchill
UNABLE TO JOIN K0LCHAK
BY the Associated Press

London, Sept. 1g.-Winston Spencer
Churchill, secretary for war, in a state
ment issued yesterday denies there has
been any change in the British policy to
evacuate north Russia.
Evacuation. however. had been re-
tardcd. owing to the necessity of bring
ing away many Russians. who arc in
danger of their lives, as we'll as women
and children.
Mr.. Churchill says it will be impos-
sible to effect a junction with Admiral
kOlchak before winter. He denies that
British troops are employed or that the
British Government has accepted any
responsibility in operations against
Pctrograd.
Replies to Criticisms
Mr.. Churchill's statement was issued
in reply to criticisms and disclosures
concerning the government policy i'll
Russia. He declares that the decisions
on which the policy of evacuation is
based are i~rrCvocablc, General Sir
Henry s. Rawlinson having full dis.
crctionary power as to the time and
method of the evacuation.
The secretary dilatCS on the peculiar
cOmflCXity and difficulty of the prob
lem of cXtricating the British forces.
which involves evacuation by sea OF
considerable numbers of Russians,
compromised by helping the British,
who might otherwise find themselves
exposed to BOlshcvist vengeance.
He then explains that, after the
government and general staff first de-
cidcd upon the evacuation of Muir
mansk and A%rchangCl in February.
there seemed to be Il prospect in May
of KOlChak's armies in Siberia effect
ing II junction with the north Russian
troops, and General Ironsidc was in
'Structcd to prepare a plan facilitating
a junction with the British. The cab
met approved the plan and, had it
been possible to execute it, the British
forces could have been evacuated with
out anxiety so far as the fate of the
North Russian government and army
was concerned.
British Were Ready to Aid
1t was not the fault Of the British
says the secretary, that the plan failed.
They were ready to advance along the
Dvina to Kotlass with adequate forces
to destroy the Cncmy'S fOtilla and base
there. But instead of advancing, KOl-
chak's armies retired hundreds of miles
to the eastward and no hope remains
of effCcting a junction with him before
winter. Hence there arose the necessity
of sending Anglo French reinforce
ments now on the spot.

CONDEMNATION OF THE GAS

the City, to be operated as Munic-
ipal Plant, (as in the case of the
Water Works Systeml Gas to be
furnished the consumers at greatly
reduced cost.
This can be done under the Act
passed by the Illinois Legislature in
force July 1st., 1918, Entitled IAN
ACT to authorize Cities to acquire,
construct, own, and to lease and op-
crate Public Utilies, and to provide
and the means therefore" (Session
Laws of 4sth. General Assembly page
445: Hurd's Revised Statutes 1915,
P. 2049.) This Act names Gas Util-
tiles, Telephone and other plants, and
gives the Cities of Illinois power to
condemn and Construct same, "in
the same manner provided by law
for the taking and Condemning of
Private property for Public use"
The money with which to purchase
the Gas Plant at the end of such
condemnation suit can be raised by
a simple process as follows; and it
is to be remembered that the value
would be fixed by Court and Jury.
The municipal bond total is now lin
tied to per cent on one third of
the actual value of property within
the city. The Constitution allows an
indebtedness to be Incurred up to five
per cent of the actual value. Make
the assessed value the real value for
the purpose of purchasing any Pub
lie Utility and there would be ap-
proximately 100000, 900, issuable
in bonds devoted to the purchase only
of Public Utilies.
Amend the State Revenue Law so
as to authorize Chicago, or any other
city, desireous of condemning any
Public Utility, to pay for same by
the issuance of bonds, upward of
one-third valuation and up to the
actual valuation. These bonds can
be only issued by a vote of the peo-
pie so there could be no abuse Of
the power. These bonds should be
made payable first, however, out of
sinking fund to be obtained by set
ting apart the profits derived from
the manufacture and sale of gas. In
case such sinking fund should not
accumulate sufficiently within twenty
(20) years to pay of the purchase
price, the two-thirds of the actual
value of property now not assessed
could be taxed to pay the bonds.
