Belgium Claims German
Territory Of Peace Board
BY ASSocintcd PrcSs.

Paris. Feb. 12. - The Belgian
claims as placed before the Supreme
Council yesterday include demand
for the return to Belgium of some
territory held by Germany, in addi-
ton to requests for free navigation
of the Scheldt and the restitution of
certain territory held by the Dutch.
The German districts demanded are
Montjoie and Malmedy. just east of
the present Belgian G erman bor-
der. The population of these dis
tricts is mainly Walloon and their
possessions by Belgium, it was
pointed out, would deprive Germany
of an outlet for a new invasion of
Belgium.

Boycott Shows Its Head
The revival of the spirit of the
old Paris economic conference
which planned boycotts and after
the-war Determinations, is some
times in evidence during discus
sions. 1t made its appearance in
the desire of one country to impose
discriminatory duties on enemy
commerce, during the consideration
of the plan to make all international
waterways open for all nations on
even terms. This was regarded as
u violation of one OF the fourteen
points" but the commission dealing
with the subject is having some diff
ficulty in passing this point. How
ever, the general acceptance of the
principle of International control
over such waterways, to the extent
at least of prescribing rules which
shall govern navigation and defining
the riparian rights of abutting ma
tions, is believed to have paved the
way for ultimate agreement in the
commission upon Il report which
will probably ne received with ap-
proval by the Peace Conference or

Weeks Wants Comptrollet
of Treasury Discontinued
Rr l4sSociated Press.

Washington, Feb. -. -. Senator
Weeks, of Massachusetts,, spoke to-
day before the Senate Banking Com
mittee, which is considering the re-
nomination of John Shelton Will
liams, as comptroller of the Treas
ury, in support of his bill abolish
ing the office of the comptroller and
vesting it's powers in the Federal
Reserve Board.
The powers exercised by the comp
troller, the senator contended, were
too great and too important to be
vested in one man and confiictad
with the authority of the reserve
board. Even were the office not so
important, he declared, Mr.. Williams
was "temperamentally unfit for the
position.

Governor Sproul yesterday sent to
the Senate the names of Judge IL.
n. Mcclure of Lewisburg; Sidney
Ray Shelby, OF Uniontown, and Sam
uel NJ. Clement, Jr., of Philadelphia
to be public service commissioners
They will fill one existing vacancy
and take the places of Commission
er Michael j. Ryan, of Philadelphia,
Mcclure is at present a member
of the commission, having been ap-
pointed by Governor Brum baugh
and Shelby has been law partner of
Senator Crow, Republican state
chairman, since 1907.
lie is native of Uniontown and

1921; McClure's term July /, 1928,
AT the same time the Governor
announced the reappointment of Ad-
jutant General Frank d. Beary and
Fish Commissioner \. r. Butler.
Adjutant General Beary was ap-
pointed to that office by Governor
Brpmbaugh following the. death of
Adjutant General Stewart. For
many years previous he had been
deputy adjutant general and as such
was thoroughly familiar with Ma
tional Guard organization of the
state. Upon his shoulders fell the
important duty of replacing the old
National Guard regiments with the
Reserve Militia and he did his work
so quickly and SO we'll under diff
cult conditions that when the men
turned out for their first annual en-
campment last July they behaved
like Guardsmen of years experience.
Ills feat of equipping the Guard with
tents, blankets, guns, shoes, uni
forms, motor transports and all the
other accouterments required for a
modern military unit was accom-
phshed at time when the markets
were all shot to pieces by war con-
dltlons and done in record time and
at n reasonable cost to the state.
Mr.. Butler who resides in Mt.
Pleasant has been State Fish Com
missioner since 1911 when he was
first appointed by Governor Tenerl
Mr.. Butler is an expert in fish cuI-
ture. lie has been engaged in that
line OF work ever since he left school
in 1871 and was employed at the
old Donegal Fish Hatchery. lie is
well and favorably known through
out the state and under his direc-
ton there has been much improve-
ment in the trout and bass streams
or PENNSYLVANIA to say nothing OF
smaller varieties of fish, such as
blue gills and catfish. lie has done
much for the fisheries Of Lake Erie
to protect them from the fish deal
ers OF other states. Recently he has
planted many trout in the vicinity of
Harrisburg. He has the confidence
of the fishermen of the state who
look upon him not only as an expert
but as one who sympathizes with
the sportsman and desires sincere
~ to see the fish protected and given
opportunity to increase, at the same
time giving the angler all the privi-
leges possible.
The hold up of the Butler and
Reary combinations by Senator Eyre
is believed to be only temporary.
The commissioners We're confirmed.

CLUE TO ROBBERY
[Continued from First Page

window in the door of his store
with the evident intention OF rob-
bing it.
The city detectives assigned to the
case of the safe blowing at the
wholesale confectionery store of n.
Freidberg, 126 South Second street,
are working on clue which they
think may lead to the apprehension
of the thieves who forced open the
inner door of the safe and extracted

veloped to-day that number of
Liberty Bonds, unregistered, and
belonging to one of The young wom-
en- clerks of the establishment, was
overlooked by the yeggman.
The local police are inclined to the
belief that the safe blowing job was
done by local marahders, and was
not the work of professional yegg-
men from one of the big cities.
George Shuler, detective in charge
of the Bertillon system, was able to
secure finger prints where the safe
blowing operations were carried out
and is holding them in case the clues
being followed up by the detectives
materialiZe in arrests.
Chief WetZel this morning re-
iterated a warning to businessmen,
that with the war ended and high
war wages tumbling. crime once
more will appear as a lucrative
business to dishonesty inclined
rogues, and the utmost precautions
must be observed to prevent repeti-
ton of such wave of robberies as
swept the South Second street area.
He warned merchants to let lights
burning in their establishments at
night, so policemen can see at a
glance that nothing suspicious is
taking place within.

Future in Doubt

The future prices of food supplies
in this country depend upon a va
riety of circumstances. Now that
the restraining influence OF the Fed
eral food board has been withdrawn
the old laws of supply and demand
are expected to reassert themselves.
1t is likely that considerable guam
titles of food will be forced out of
storage. The coming prohibition is
expected to make large supplies in
grain available.
Great Britain at the present time
is making a strong effort to supply
herself as much as possible with
provender from her colonies, such
as Australia and Canada. Those
who believe that there will be an
other high peak reached in food
prices before there can be perma-
nent lowering of them, are counting
on an extensive export trade.
The final solution of the problem
of the high cost of living, in the
opinion of many economists. is to
be found in a stimulating of agricul-
ture by the government and the
sending of many thousands OF re-
turned soldiers to farms.
