It is regretted that so few were
present last evening at the Presby-
terrain church to hear the instructive
talk given by Prof. H. F. Humbert
on the administration of the Chris
tan summer school. The people
seemed to get the impression that this
school of instruction was to be for in

such is not the case, but it is a pro-

Several of these schools are being

secured for Bemidji next year.

FRANCE LEFT OUT

MADE BY GERMANY
RULING BY CONFERENCl
English and Italian Delegates
Held That France Should
Be Charged With the Value
of Coal She Would Get Dur
ing the Next Fifteen Years
in the Ruhr District.

Paris, Aug. ia ruling of the
Inter-Allied Finance Conference, that
of the first billion marks gold cash
paid by Germany France should get
not one pfenning, is received in Paris
with the greatest resentment The
made after the adjournment of the
Supreme Council and does not be
come effective until approved by
the Allied Governments.
This result was reached by the ap-
plication of arrangements to which
various French Governments had
agreed, but the stark, cold fact that
the French Government, which is in
utmost financial difficulties and fac
ing the danger of having to interrupt
reconstruction work, gets none OF the
first billion paid causes painful i'm
preston.
1t will be recalled that the treaty
gives Belgium priority on the first
$500, 100000 marks paid by Ger
many, but the cost of the armies of
occupation must be reimbursed first.
When the accounts were reckoned up
last week England claimed that she
had expended 1,200,O00,000 marks,
gold, for her army of occupation,
which was 1OO,OOO,OOO less than
Frances bill, with ten times as many
! troops. Belgium had been paid by de-
liveries in kind by Germany for her
cost of occupation, and so had Italy.
But it was not matter of dividing
up the billions. The English and Ital-
ian delegates held that France should
Ibe credited with the value of the
