BELGIAN DUTCH
SITUATION QUIET
COMMISSION OF SEVEN POWERS
Is TO SUBMIT THE
PROPOSALS

PARIS, July 7.-Holland has
scored in the first heat of the Dip
lomatic tourney with her neighbor
Belgium owe the clauses of the
treaties of 1889, which have aroused
a good deal of feeling on both sides
of the Belgo-Dutch border.
1t was these 80 years old treaties
that gave Holland the Limburg
peninsula" the narrow elongated
strip of land popularity known as
the Dutch appendix" by crossing
which, the Germans in their re-
treat last fall saved themselves a
detour of some 40 miles and pos
sible capture gy the allied armies.
The Belgians dug up ancient rec
ords showing that several towns
and villages situated in Dutch Linn
burg had, in the thirties of last
century, petitioned the first king of
the Belgians to be joined to his new
kingdom. Although the Dutch Linn
burgers of the present day are said
to have no such desires, an influ-
entail section of Belgian politicians
clamored for the annexation of Linn
burg to Belgium.
Also, to safeguard the future po-
sition of Antwerp, the Belgian an
nexationists claimed the territory
known as Dutch Flanders, situated
on the southern bank of the Scheldt
had also given to Holland.
These territorial claims aroused
a storm of patriotic indignation in
Holland. Queen Wilhelmina visited
the disputed parts of her dominians,
and there was a good deal of flag
waving and shouting about dying
in the last ditch" before giving up
national territory. The situation
was becoming unpleasant. Cool
headed elements in Holland realized
that an estrangemene from the Bel
gian sister nation would be fraught
with disastrous consequences. When
IA conference was called by the five
| great powers to reconsider the
treaties of 1889, a delegation of
eminent Dutch jurists came to Paris
with the firm resolve to avoid any
thing in the nature of a breach with
Belgium.
On the cession of territory, how
ever, their Instructions were def
mite. and the Dutch standpoint has
been upheld by the five great
powers.
1t was agreed to institute a COM
mission of W powers, including
Belgium and Holland. This commits
sion is to examine the proposed re-
vision of the treaties of 1889 and
submit proposals duplicating
neither a transfer of sovereignty nor
the creation of international servi-
tudes." The commission will invite
Belgium and Holland to submit
Joint formulas" in the matter Of
waterways, the general principles
of the peace conference to be APP
piled as bases for the same.
The bellicose feeling on both sides
now has almost died down.

recent world orgie, or the release
from the strain of the tremendous
war production of COAL" said Van
n. Manning, director of the Bureau
of Mines, 1.-The miner today is bend
ing his best interests to the saving
of life. From the reports that come
to me, there is the utmost entlu-
siasm in these serial first-aid and
rescue meets and almost as much
interest as if the national meet were
a great, countrywide athletic con
test involving the whole people. The
national meet promises to break al
preceding events in numbers ard
enthusiasm. 1t is to be the miners
own field day, in their W way.
and the honors are to go to the
most efficient. the most skillful in
the saving of human life. l ex-
pect that this national miners tour
nament will have a wholesome effect
on the industries of the country
generally"

OF ESTATES.
WORRIES WILLIAM
GERMAN GOVERNMENT MAY
GIVE HIM PROCEEDS
OF SALES

AMERONGEN, July THE for
mer german emperor has been dis
cussing his financial problems for
more than a week with Doctor j.
Kriege, who has been in charge of
the imperial estates and funds in
Germany since the Hohenzollern alb
dication.
DIR. Kriege, one of the former
German functionaries of the German
foreign office, has been here in con
ference with Herr Hohenzollern
when the latter was not engaged in
wood-sawing. The marshal of the
German emperor's court, Won Con-
tard, also participated in the dis
cussions.
The former emperor is not short
of money, as he possessed a con
siderable amount on deposit in
Holland before the war began. This
was added to ~appreciably while hos
~tilities were in progress. During
the few stirring weeks preceding his
abdication, William and his fol-
lowers transferred further large
sums in ready cash.
But William is troubled as to the
fate of his real estate. He possessed
no fewer than 55 castles, hunting
hoyac ond oOuntrv caotc Coattorad
over the empire. The revenues of
these properties are for the present
at least in the hands of the new
government, which hitherto has paid
from their proceeds all Herr Hohen-
zollern's bills, forwarded to Berlin
for settlement. These accounts have
been quite formidable, as the i'm
perial refugee is called upon to
pay for everything he consumes,
as well as for his accommodation
and the upkeep of his suite, besides
paying the wages of the gardeners
and dOmestics of the Bentinck estate
who render him services while wood
cutting or in the household.
The expenses of the Dutch guard
of gendarmes on duty around the
castle also fall on the Hohenzol-
lern purse.
/ The German governments inten-
tions concerning the former en-
peror's private fortune cannot be
cleaned here. Germans recently
from the Fatherland declare thers- is
a great deal of purely personal SYM
pathy for William among all classes
and that it is likely he will receive
a large portion of the value of what
he owned. They say it is probable
that most of the castles and country
houses will be sold and the cash re-
suit paid to Williams account, but a
number of them may be retained as
government property to be used for
the purpose of local government
headquarters. This they consider
an equitable arrangement which
will not deprove the eX-monarch of
his rights as a private citizen as,
they believe, would be the case if
his property were confiscated.

ON JOB WITH saw
ANXIOUS TO MOVE BUT NO ONE
WILL HAVE HIM FOR
RESIDENT

AMERONGEN, July William
H~ohenzollern has decided to stay
here at least for the summer and
perhaps throughout the autumn
owing to the difficulty encountered
in finding a suitable dwelling else
where.
He passes two or three hours
daily at log saving, taking shelter
with his assistants beneath a garden
shed when a downpaur of rain is
most severe. He expects to COM
plete his six thousandth tree this
week.

The Wisconsin tobacco reporter. (Edgerton, Wis.) 1877-1950, 1919-10-03

DAVID f. HOUSTON, secretary of ag-
riculture, does not assent to the theory
that the prices Of farm produce should
fall before the prices of manufactured
commodities fall. He makes this clear
in replying to a recent communication
in which it was stated that There
must be drop in prices before there
is drop in wages, and it would seem
that the farmer is the man who is GO
ing to be first hit This theory has
been advanced by number of manu-
facturers, said the secretary, who con-
tinued, 1T is clearly an unjust conten-
ton. 1t manifestly would not do to
ask farmers to produce, buying every
thing that they have to buy from man
ufacturers at high prices, with the as
surance to them that their products
will fall in price, and that then the
manufacturers will consider what they
will do with reference to their own
prices. Obviously manufacturers must
be willing to make at least contem-
poraneous decrease in their prices. 1t
might even be contended that they
should make prior decrease in their
prices, since the farmers operations
involve year and he could not recoup
for IL months. or could not recoup at
all, because, on the theory put forth,
his products would fall in price. 1t
seems to me that business men must
be brought to realize that if we are to
get back to the normal they must set
about Immediately to do their part, and
unquestionably profteering in manu-
featured products must be eliminated.
Of course, everything possible will be
done to enable the farmer to produce
more economically, SO that if prices do
fall ne will not sustain loss, or so
great loss. All the efforts of the de-
partment of agriculture and of the
land-grant colleges have this aim.
They are trying to bring about better
methods of cultivation, better fnanc-
ing, better marketing, the elimination
of plant and animal diseases and insect
pests, and the better utilization of
labor. Much has been done in this di-
rection and more will be done as time
passes.
