Belgium Asks America
to Loan Locomotives

The Belgian government has asked
the United States to loan her 400 loco
motives and 1000 passenger coaches.
In an official request placed in the
hands of the officials of the American
Legation at Brussels, the Belgian
Minister of Railways, NJ. Renkin,
points out that the Belgian govern
ment loaned the United States army
in France $50 locomotives.
OF these 1877 have been returned. He
recommends that in addition to the
return of all the locomotives the

ferces declined to accept thls
amendment and asked the House cor
instructions as TO what they should
do about it. The House instructed
the conferecs to change the amend
ment so that enlisted men should
receive $50 and officers $500.
When this proposal was submit

conferees objected to the inequality
or payment as between the enlisted
men and the officers. Finally an
agreement was reached to pay all
the men. officers and enlisted men
alike, $50. and in this form the bill
now stands.
Another important change IN the
Senate bill is in the matter OF the
proposed tax on the income of the
President Of the United States, Su-
preme Court justices and judges OF

This was originally A House provision.
The Senate committee struck 1t from

conferees yielded. and the provision
was put back in the bill.
This means that President Wilson

A New Service Flag

Let every firm that help employs
Fly now, to stir our throbs,
A flag which shows how many boys
From France get back their Jobs
The flag which told how many went
Was interesting once:
Does patriot zeal intelligent,
Reward their fighting stunts
The heroes of that awful strife
Are shopmen, farmers, clerks;
Even Sammy hates a soldiers life
He's happy if he works.

Keen interest must not lag:
So, give them back their Jobs again,
And then renew your flag.

central portions Of this state along
the Missouri river.
The pipe line carries oil from the
Oklahoma and Kansas fields to the re.

a way Of breaking at spots. The re.
suit Is that the oil seeks the low places,
gets into the creeks. smothers the fish
and keeps the stock from drinking.
When the pipe bursts In a corn field
there Is havoc.
Farmers try to burn the OIL of the
streams that stock may drink. This
burning often cooks the fish, for the
fire from oil is fierce. Clay bluffs
have been baked up to q height Of %
