Germans at First Demurred,
Saying That the Ration

Food.

Brussels, March l4.-The German dele

Brussels, Thursday, March l3.--A
monthly ration for Germany Of $4,000
tons OF foodstuffs was fixed to-day by
the allied commission, which is in this
city comforting with German delega-
tion as to the turning over of the Ger
man merchant shipping and Germany
owned securities in payment for food
shipments. The Germans observed that
this ration was smaller than they had
requested, and were pessimistie as to
the arrangement Of satisfactory financial
terms
After Vice Admiral Roslyn Wemyss
of Great Britain, chairman of the allied
delegation, had presented the conditions
decided upon by the entente, the Ger
mans asked to be allowed to Withdrew
for consideration They then formed
three sutscommittees to deal with ques-
tions Of finance, food supply and mer-
camille marine. This evening another
plenary session was held, Vice Admiral

Berlin, Tuesday, March IL (By the As
sociated Press Germany expects that
the allies will provide food supplies un-
til Aug Is, which is the earliest possible
date that flour from this years harvest
can be counted upon, said Under Secre.
tarv of State Won Braun to-day before
leaving for Brussels to participate in ne
eotiatious with an allied commission rel
stive to food shipments and the turning
over Of German shipping for the use Of
the entente nations.
During the war there has been svs-
tenn Of paying premiums for early
threshing, but this, according to Herr
Won Braun, results in much grain being
cut before it is ripe and being threshed
in a damp condition. In his opinion, the
system throws the normal course of agri,
culture "out of gear" because other hsr-
vest operations are interrupted to rush
grain to the thresher For this reason,
he said, the allies should agree to con-
tinue sending food supplies until Sep
tember.
Herr Won Braun said Germany would
ask for 100000 tons of grain and a
monthly importation of 100000 tons of
pork and fats in addition TO condensed
milk, rice, oatmeal, and other commodi-
ties required particularly for invalids, in
fants and hospitals. He estimated the
cost of these shipments at five billion
marks.
1t is a matter of great importance, he
said, that food should arrive at the earli-
est possible moment, and that the total
amount to be provided be known, so that
the government could adjust rations un-
til the next harvest.
"Only under these conditions is it pos
sible to combat bolshevism and bring
the German people back to sane condi-
tions of life and political and industrial
sobriety," he said ........

Animated Picture Of
Cliveden.

Stories of personal sacrifices of
Britishers during the world conflict,
and wonders Of war surgery were
told by Philip e. Howard. lately
back from the front. at the Central
Presbyterian Church last night.
Howard said in part:
Take at least one long look
through a hospital. where also the
wreckage of war is seen without
any softening colors as to the real
facts. Down at Cliveden, the Astor's
splendid estate. there is a hospital
of thousand beds on the grounds
near the great house. Beware when
you enter, for If your face is not all
that a Christians face should be.
Mrs. Astor, stepping quickly out
from a corridor, will call out to you
merrily, "Oh, dear me! That won't
do at all! Take those solemn faces
away! Why. you'll give these boys
the blues IL you go around looking
like that! What's the matter. any
how"
And then you follow her through
the wards (you1l have to be lively
to do it) and you'll see the smiles
break out wherever she goes. like
ripples under a breeze. These boys
are mostly the bad femur' cases.
with broken or smashed thigh bones,
and in this hospital wonder-surgery
is done on the lads who lie there
with their legs hoisted up in frames
that are built over the beds.
Cheerful Mrs. Astor.
And as Admiral Sims walked slow
ly along near US that day. Mrs.
Astor fitted ahead and called out in
her CHEEKY voice, Legs up, boys!
The admirars coming" Then the
ripple would run on ahead of her.
while the admiral stopped to talk
with one boy after another. It's all
wonderfully CHEEKY and sunny, but
the boys have a most eager desire to
talk with any one from home about
the trenches? Well, a little, but
mostly about home.
go to any church you choose to
attend, and you worship with the

noticed in DR.. Stuart Holden's st.
Paul Church one Sunday morning a
British officer in full uniform assist

this peaceful duty in the hush of the

The Rt. Rev. Patrick J. Hayes.

during the solemn high mass at which
Father Drum spoke.
THE Bible, by itself and in itself,
means no Bible at ALL" said Father
Drum in the beginning of his lecture.
Without something outside itself to
rest upon, the Bible is no more of a
foundation of revealed religion than
are the Koran of the Mohammedan,
the Yeda of the Hindoo, or the sa-
cred book of any other non-Christian
cult"

ARKANSAS WINS
BOUNDARY SUIT.
SUPREME COURT OF U. S. DE-
ClDES HORSESHOE BEND LAND
is IN THIS STATE.
CASE ORIGINATED IN 1914
Mississippi River Changed Course in
1849 and Court Ruled That the
Boundary is the Middle of
Main Navgable Channel.

Washington - The state of Arkan-
sas. by an opinion rendered in the
United States Supreme Court, won it's
boundary suit brought against the
state of Mississippi for the purpose of
determining the line between those
two states in the vicinity of Horse
shoe Bend.
The suit was instituted in 1914 as
an original proceeding and resulted
from the action Of the Mississippi nv
er in 1848 in changing its course. The
Supreme Court sustained in general
terms Arkansas contention that the
middle of the main nayigable channel
of the river is the present boundary
line. The court announced COM
mission will be appointed to deter
mine the boundary line and to report
to the court.
In another case in which the boun-
Diary line between Arkansas and Mis-
sissippi at Horseshoe Bend was in
volved, the Supreme Court also, in
effect, affirmed Mississippi court de-
crees awarding Ed Jackson and other
land owners damages for timber al
legged to have been taken by the Rust
Land and Lumber Company, an Ar
kansas concern, by dismissing the ap-
peal
The court, in a decision rendered
by Justice Day, held that this case
was practically controlled by the su-
preme Courts decision in the Arkan-
sas VS.. Tennessee case.
The case referred to in the Wash
ington dispatch was filed April u,
1914, by the late William L. Moose,
then attorney general, it was said by
Attorney General John D. Arbuckle,
It is the second case of a similar ma
tura won by Arkansas within the last
two months The land involved is III
