THE BELGIAN DERT

The country as well as MT Harding is bound to be surprised at the recommen- dation which has been made by President Wilson to congress to authorize the &C., ceptance by the federal treasury of Ger man bonds in payment of the money loan cd to Belgium to the extent of S171,000,- 00o This recommendation, it appears comes as the result of a promise made by the president while in Paris, but about which nothing has been made known on this side of the water until this week, ten days before the administration changes
 The proposition appears to be that the indemnity bonds which Belgium would receive from Germany would be passed over to this country in settlement of the debt contracted prior to the arnhistice. That means that while We would be &C., cepting third of what our loan amounts to as a settlement of the claim we would be getting German security for the debt and if it is so that Germany is on the verge of bankruptcy it would mean a worthless consideration. That comes pretty close to getting back to the srg- gestion that has previously been advanced that we cancel the claims which we hold against Europe for loans made in con- ncction with the war
 The recommendation that such action as the president proposes be taken comes at time when there is very little time given for consideration at this session of congress It is not to be supposed. how ever, that it will be railroaded through without the necessary attention. As a matter of fact it seems probable that the committees will take the precaution to see that the merits of the idea are care. fully investigated before making theil recommendations. Coming, at this time with the adjournment of congress and inc ending of the administration only $ week of there would be no surprise fl ts1is with other things became caught 1T Inc rush of business and failed to bt brought up for action. Even should thert be report thereon there seems slig4l prospect of favorable action on such al eleventh hour effort That there was secret understanding about 1t in Europ $ enough to block 1t.

Sunday Obseryance.

Mir. Editor: Mir. Troiand anticipated the immesurable pleasure which the op- portunity of his letter would afford Mrs. Snouse, and he is gratified with the re- suit.
 When the Master was on earth, good judges said, Never man spoke like this man, yet the common people heard Him gladly
 This meant that they understood Him without referring to Webster's Dictionary for defining; His appeals was was so di- rect and plain. This Is the model Mir. Troland is endeavoring to follow, in all things, and for that reason his letters do not cucumber so much space as do those of his opponents. Notwithstanding, Jesus did not con vince these peolle, for He was inaligned and crucified, according to His word. He arose again the third day, purchasing re- demption for our Face. Mir Troland, and others, are proud to say that they observe the day that com. memorates this triumph. rather than the day which Is held to by his erucihers, and which Mrs. Srouse reveres So sincere rely.

A WHITE WAY FOR NORWICH.

The question of white way for the business center of the city is one to whicA more than passing attention should be given by those who are prompted by civic interest as well as other benefits. It Is matter in which there ought to be no great difficulty in awakening the nec- essary amount of interest to bring about it's accomplishment. As an enterprising city Norwich ought not to be character iZs- by dingily lighted main streets at night
 Tne importance of permanent pave ments has been recognized, the value of good sidewalks has been appreciated and In keeping with such improvements there may be we'll be a concentration of effort for the purpose of giving the heart of the city the kind of lighting that would likewise be to it's advantage. Just to the sams extent that its streets and side D walks indicate the progressiveness of a community does the lighting of it's busi- ness streets and it is well that the adver- Using value of a white way should not be disregarded. It is through such mani festations that a city indicates that if is up to date
 Those who visit other cities return witf, the question. Why cannot Norwich have this or that? which has favorab1y i'm pressed them during their trip. There is no reason why Norwich should not have a white way, why it's streets in the cen. ter Of the city should not be lighted in a way to make them attractive, to create interest and to draw business.
 Tina rnnvaToanf yvtYioI hoS haap Is directed in behalf of one of the things that the city lacks. The street lighting is much better than it used to be but there is plenty of room for improvement The idea of a real white way is based or the idea of manifesting progress. It ii something in which there ought to D. and unquestionablv is much interest if i can only be brought to the surface. Othe cities of this size and some not as larg have recognized the value of such an i'm provement and once such change I made the wonder invariably arises as t how if was ever delayed so long.

THE MANDATE PkoTEsr.

Just what the result of the protest which has been made by this government to the league of nations regarding the territory placed under mandates will be is uncertain but it promises to get early attention from the league council though it comes at time when what has been started by one administration in this country will in all probability have to be carried on by It's successor of it is con- tihued.
 It is a matter where the interests of the country must be taken care of and it is that which apparently moves President Wilson to call attention to the situation in the manner that he does. Certainly 1t ought not to be expected that he would refrain from acting in this matter at this time, since 1t is to be realized that no one | could be expected to be in closer touch with that feature of the peace conference 1 than he, inasmuch as he led the fight for | the decision that was reached regarding | mandated territory and 1t is concerning l this violation of the agreement that he directs attention of those directly invoiv- ed.
 It is true that this country is not a | member of the league of nations, but the provision regarding the mandated terri. tory was not that just the members of the league should benefit in trade there with but that all should enjoy similar rights in that respect, and even though 1 we are not a member of the league the need of safeguarding our interests is ap. parent.
 It is perfectly evident that the stand
 taken by President wilson will have al influence that might not be possibl, through another because of his first han& knowledge of what transpired in agree ing upon the terms. He E therefore iiv

Taking No chanees.

A colored man drove to warehouse with a load of his Uoduce. When he received the sales slip he noticed the cus- ternafy bank check was missing. Ap- preaching the cashier he said: Look here, boss, where is my money for this here produce?" The sales sheet was consult ed.
 "It's like this, the expense for weigh ing, unloading and commission for selling your stuff amounted to more than the garden truck was worth. You still owe us 5s cents," explained the cashier.
 'Well, that's all i<i't, I guess, but I aint got a cent with me"
 "The next time you are coming over the river, just bring a. chicken with you and we will call the deal square"

NILLIKEN TELLS
 DANCE CROWD HE
 IS FOR PRESCOTT

Confirmation of his determination to see located here a great educa- tional institution for ex-soldiers, was given by John B. Milliken, assistant director of the veterans bureau, in happy little talk to the crowd at the Legion Auxiliary dance last night, following the chamber of commerce conference. MT. Milliken made the direct statement that Eve are locat- ing a new school at SWhipple Bar racks" F"
 John Milliken tried his first law case after his graduation from school. in Prescott. He told about it in his talk to the crowd at the community house, and described the little old court house where his primitive self assurance was taken out of him by a lawyer named LeRoy Anderson who whipped him to death in the lawsuit.
 A charming tribute was paid by the speaker to Governor Campbell, who was called from governors meet ing in Pennsylvania to Washington and there turned the scales of decis- ion that brought a hospital building to Tucson and a $600,000 enlarge ment program to Prescott's neigh bor institution, Whipple Barracks. The governor greatly impressed the eastern-born officials, Mir. MiIliken said, and they admitted after his de- parture that they had learned something about the needs of ex- service men, from that big west erner."
 Major Louis T. Grant of the San Francisco office, who is the man who announced here during the le- zion convention in August that the government was going to put more humanity and less red tape into its relations with the men, spoke brief ly at the request of Mrs. H. T. Southworth, the auxiliary president.
 Governor Campbell addressed the crowd with a few appreciative re- marks about the spirit of the auxil- iary and the opportunity for service.
 Mrs. Nelson's committees carried off last nights affair splendidly. Everything but the ice cream was do mated, hence there was no overhead expense to speak of and the crowd was assured of a nice sum for the legion auxiliary treasury. Mrs. C. E. Yount's recent cooked food sale for the organization netted $27, it was
