HARD AT WORK IN BELGIUM
Coal Mining and Other Industries Are
Being Rapidly Put on
Normal Basis.

The Belgian coal mines are now turn
ing out about so per cent of the nor
NAL production. They supply nearly
all the coal needed for the Belgian
industries, while some 100000 tons of
coal a month are exported to France.
Then the great glass industry of the
country, which before the war gave
work to many thousands, Is rapidly
regalning its former prosperity, and
only quite recently the French minis
try of reconstruction gave an order
to single Belgian firm for 100000
square meters of window panes, to be
utilized In the devastated regions. The
result of all this Is that whereas, at
the time of the signing of the arms
tice, the French franc was worth LILO
or even 1.15 francs in Belgium, 1t Is
now worth 95 confines. Belgium
moreover, Is very far from combining
her efforts TO France. Great Britain Is
already considerable importer Of
Belgian goods, while the United States
recently placed an order In Belgium
for more than 300000,000 francs worth
of glassware.

The children played a large part In
the American army's Christmas In
France. At the artillery camp at Mall
ly, for example, 1t was top sergeant
who said, ten days or so before the
day:
"Say, fellows, these poor little viii
lage kids haven't had much Christ

What do you say we take up col
lection and see what we can do?'
The idea took In a flash. And they
did so well, giving as they always
gave, with both hands, that the total
sum was amazing.
"Why." some one hazarded, Il reck-
on we could hand those little shayers
pretty near anything they want, with
all this wad TO spend"

The Republican senators brought up
for consideration in the senate last
week the Knox resolution declaring
the war ended and Senator Knox
opened the debate with defense Of
the measure and q warm attack on
the policy of President wilson, Al
first the Democratic senators decided
to fight the resolution with a filibus-
ter but changed their minds when
they learned the president was willing
TO have the matter brought to an is
sue and was determined to veto the
resolution if 1t We're adopted. 1t was
understood that Mr.. Wilson also
would rpSubmit the Versailles treaty
to the senate, formally making IT an
issue I'm the presidential campaign
II has been intimatcd that he might
suggest some reservations Of his own
but It Is scarcely to be supposed these
would satisfy the Republican sena-
tors.
According to Secretary Of State Col
by who was presumably speaking for
the president, the Knox resolution is
absolutely unprecedented in the his
tory Of the United States" and "whol-
~ unconstitutional" He asserts the
only way TO re-cstabllsh peace with
Germany Is by treaty and that the
president is powerIcss under the Con
sIitution to patch up any scheme Of
friendly relations or appoint diplo-
matte ana consular representatives
untII a treaty has been ratified.
Mr. KuoN's long address on the
resolution was heard ana read with
especial interest because ne has been
puf forward as a possible nominee of
the Chicago convention. Senator Pen
rose, who usually voices the opinion
of The "old guard" In the Republican
party says Knox will prove the most
satisfactory ana most available com
promise candidate IL il is found
neither Wood, Johnson nor LOwden
can land the prize.

A correspondent in Berlin says that
from authentic sources in the foreign
Office and the ministry of finance he
learns that Germany will fatty refuse
to pay a hundred billion marks in
demnity, and that the offer of such a
sum, made when the treaty of peace
was signed, Is TO be withdrawn and fig
ures startlingly low substituted when
the conference at Spa takes place.
Premiers Millerand and Lloyd George
are TO meet before the Spa session be-
gins and doubtless will come to a COM
plete understanding as to what will
be demanded from Germany.
An interesting statement concern
ing the trial Of war criminals has
been made by DR.. Andreas Blunck
German minister Of Justice. He says
the German government has been for
some time in readiness to try the ac-
cused and the attorney general has
instituted 3l7 prosecutions, but that
nothing more can be done until the
allied nations furnish the evidence
which they promised. Not a word
has come from any of them since the
list Of the accused was handed 70 the
Berlin government three months ago,
asserts the minister.

Carran2a's hold on Mexico appar-
emily is weakening so rapidly that
the old man must be decidedly
alarmed. The revolt, of which Gem
eral Obregon is the recognized leader,
is spreading daily and the federal
armies lose large numbers by deser-
ton to the rebels. If the bewhiS-
kered president had any plans for
fleeing from the country, 1t is likely
he has too long deferred their eXecu-
ton, for the ports on both east and
west coasts are closed to him by the
operations of rebel units along the
connecting railways and highways.
However he may yet escape into the
United States or Guatemala. Accord
Ing to story that came across the
border all the rebel leaders have
agreed on Il plan to force the abdCa-
ton of Carranza on May - and to
name Alfredo Robes DOminguez pres
ident pro tempore.
The latest big accession to the rebel
forces was Francisco villa who. with
1000 men, joined the revolutionary
army IN chihuahua. 1t was said he
would bring 10000 men to the support
Of Obregon. In TOrreon the federal
garrison raised the flag Of revolt and
arrested their commander
After several requests from the
state department, the navy depart
ment dispatched a flotilla Of destroy
ers TO Key West, whence they will be
able to reach the Mexican ports on
the east coast within a few hours. SO
far they have not been greatly need
ed 70 protect American interests there.
Agents Of our government have report
ed that the rebel leaders give assur-
nnce Of the adoption of a more friend
~ attitude toward foreigners than
has been maintained by Carranza, but
of course the United States Is not TAX
Ing any hand in the struggle.
