his brothers. running away. She said
Erwin was married at the time, his wife
was in a delicate condition, he owned a
farm and a machine shop and was en-
titled TO deferred classification. IL was
hard for her to understand why her son
should be held a prisoner on a charge OF
deserion, she said, when all he was really
was draft dodger.
Grover was away on his vacation when
his draft notice was received at home"
Mrs. Bergdoll said. HE sent me a post
card saying he would answer il, but they
refused to accept the excuse on the post
card and published notice listing him
as a deserter. This scared him away"
Mrs. Bergdoll herself was arrested sew
Ieral times during the war on charges OF
lobstructing the draft, and was arrested

lscended upon the Bergdolk mansion to

BELGIAN LOAN HAS
EXCHANGE FEATURE
Short Term Notes To Be Issued
to Yield to Investors About
Six Per Cent.

1t is understood that the proposed Bel
gian loan which local bankers are negoti-
ating will carry an exchange feature
somewhat similar to that which is carried
by the United Kingdom bonds which
were offered here on November l.
Purchasers will receive whatever bene-
fit accrues from improvement in Belgian
exchange prior to the maturity of the
issue. It is believed that feature will
prove even more attractive than was the
exchange feature of the United Kingdom
bonds.
term notes with maturities Of two to five
years. The coupon rates will be in the
neighborhood of 6 per cent. Including
commissions, the cost to Belgium will
probably be about TX per cent.
1t is expected that Belgium will spend
the proceeds for foodstuffs and other
American products. The loan will carry
Belgium over the first half OF the current
year, it is believed Belgium has a ma
turity of a $50, 100000 acceptance credit TO
provide for on June !. Bankers said that
maturity will be met without interfering
in any way with the issue of new bonds.
Applications for credits are pending
from several other foreign countries. but
nothing definite has been done with re-
gard to them. 1t was learned yesterday
that International bankers regard Czecho-
slovakia an excellent credit risk. OF all
the Central European countries Czecho-
slovakia appears to be the most favor
ably situated with regard to resources.

The American people are eating 12 per cent less meat than they were ten years ago and are using more milk and fruit. Whether it is be- cause of the increase in cost of meat or because peoples tastes have changed, the fact remains that Americans are eating 12 per cent less meat than ten years ago. This is dis closed in recent dietary survey made by the United States Department of Agriculture.
 In this survey 2,000 dietary records, each covering a period of seven days, were collected from 1,425 families and 575 institutions in 40 States. Six teen nationalities and many occupa- tions and incomes were represented, as were also both urban and rural To- calities.
