Real estate business in Richmond

Peltz says there IS an abundance of
buyers for properties, providing the
properties can be paid for on pay

There are also many buyers that
will pay cash, providing the proper
houses in the right locations can be
obtained" Peltz continued. But the
people owning these desirable houses
will not sell, as they figure it would
cost more to build a new house than
they would receive for their old

next JULY '23; MAY
invite the GERMAN

PARIS, June 29.-The date of the
financial conference at Brussels has
been fixed by the council of the lea que
of nations which has decided on July
%, it was announced today. Results
of the Spa conference. regarding pay
ments to be made by Germany, will be
made public.
i In a letter to the president of the
supreme council. accompanying the
notification of the date of the Brus-
sells conference fixed by the league,
Leon Bourgeois, acting for the coun-
ell Of the league. says that body is
strongly convinced that negotiations
with view to re-establishing the eco
nomic situation and the finances Of
] the world can not be pursued unless
the obligations of Germany and her
allies and the financial situation OF
German empires be clearly deter
mined.
Must Invite Germans
M. Bourgeois adds that since the
council proposes to consider the sit
uation of the world it will be neces-
sary to invite the Germans to par
ticipate in the conference.
The letter expresses hope that the
Spa conference will prepare the way
for final settlement of the questions
pending with Germany.
German delegates at the Spa con-
ference will not insist on the main
tenance of an army of 100000 men,
according to the Echo de Pa ris, which
quotes an unnamed diplomat who as
serts the German representatives will
ask the allies to reconsider indem.
nifty demands. The Spa meeting
therefore, would thus be a mere for
mality, the newspaper says, and, on
the other ha nd, the financial confer
ence to be held in Brussels will be
most important, as it is possible a
financial agreement will be reached
there.

tered severely, both from casualties
and from loss of supplies, it is stated.

Both The church and labor, accord
ing to Dr. Bland, are dependent on
each other, and each can give to the
other what it needs and without which
il cannot succeed. There were three
things that the church could give to
labor The first Of these was broad
ness. Labor had been criticized, he
said, as a class movement. II was
a class movement. Dr. Bland said, be-
cause it had to fight its own battles,
but it was not alone in catering to a
class Labor, he thought, would be
slow in reaching its goal unless it
would accept the breadth that the
church could bring Labor might find
