BELGIAN BOY GETS

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-Monsieur

Lady Bountiful in the plight of
osman is Col. Helen Bastedo, who
won distinction during war times
as head of the woman's motor corps.
She heard Osman wall on a ferry
boat at Ellis Island; heard his story:
how he had been a mascot for the
First Division OF the American Ex-
peditionary Force and had been
with the Americans in several bat
ties. was attracted by the frankness
of the boy and prevailed upon the
immigration authorities for a re-
hearing.
This granted. she announced her
intention of adopting the waif and
educating him with her three chill
dren. "Bless you BOTH" said the
Department of Labor and today Os-
man, who is Is, set foot on solid
American soil.
Col. Bastedo now holds a dollar :
year job with the immigration Serv-
ice as director of social welfare on
Ellis Island and 1t was while max
ing an inspection that she heard
osman sob about not wanting to go
back to Belgium where nobody
wanted him.

British Claims Regarded
As Not Material Here

The report that Japan's claim to
the island of Yap has been SUBJ
stantisted to the satisfaction Of
Great Britain by an official report
of a Big Four meeting at the Peace
Conference kept secret until now Is
not likely to change President
Wilson's contention that there was
an understanding to information

Although recent testimony before
the Senate Foreign Relation Com
mittes given by Norman X. Davis,
Undersecretary of State, revealed
the United States to be without
black and white" proof Of the ex-
istence of such an understanding,
the Wilson administration will con-
tinue to press its point until it goes
out Of office.
The exclusive Japanese claim to
zap as a communications point is
being disputed by the President
and. his State Department upon

CHAMBER REPORT
TELLS OF BETTER
BUSINESS TRENDS
Statesmen Find Improved
Condition in All Parts
OF Country

Business conditions will improve
from now on, says Archer Wall
Douglas, chairman of the commit
tee of statistics and standards Of the
Chamber OF Commerce of the United
States, in his monthly review of
business, issued yesterday.
The most convincing evidence
that We are on the high road to
recovery Douglas says, 'fs found
In the universal report, brought by
travelling statesmen from every sec.
tion of the country. of steadily
growing sentiment that business
will be better in the spring'-not a
sudden return to prosperity. which
Is neither likely nor desirable, but
slow and natural working out of
those processes of liquidation which
are now in full operation.
There are few who are more re-
sponsible than these travelling sales
men for the growth of this healthy
sentiment, which, in effect, is the
recognition of the inherent sound
ness of the situation, and that the
remedies for II lie largely in con-
structive action. Not only is senti-
ment improved, but there Is definite
increase in the volume of business
done. Farmers are gradually bring
ing their produce to market. Bank
ers are slowly 1oosening up and
extending to farmers and dealers
money and credit. the two vital
factors needed to restore the sit
uation.
Despite the general story of far
mers Withholding their products.
there Is daily a steady stream Of
grain and livestock coming to mar
ket, not in full volume. but enough
to assist in alleviating the situa-
tion. Shipments of early fruits and
vegetables from California and the
South are running heavily,
