BY the ASSOCldteO IcOosJ
Paris, Aug. 28.--The Belgian gov
ernment in its reply to the last Brit:
ish reparations note stands with
France on the principal points OF
contention, maintaining that the
legality of the Ruhr occupation has
been established by the previous ac'
tion of the allies and that evacua-
ton of the Ruhr valley is impossible
upon simple promises from Germany
The reply given out at the Bel;
gian embassy here this morning
dwells particularly upon the justice
of Belgium's claim to priority in
reparation payments. 1t points out
that thus far Belgium has received
onl two million gold marks more
than Great Britain.
Foreign Minister Jaspar asserts
that the whole problem Of repara-
tion and the question Of inter-allied
debts are definitely bound together
and he proposes new method OF
procedure in the negotiations. sug-
gesting conversations among the al
lies without reverting to the old
system of conferences"
Mr.. Jaspar remarks that if re-
duction in Germany's debt is neces-
sary the balance she is obliged to
pay ought to apply in material dam
ages only. This might be under
stood as meaning the elimination OF
pensions from the allied claims on
Germany, thus reducing the British
share to an infnitesimal percentage.

"The commission indicated that
this proceeding was for the pur-

phone companies in this state as

POOL SOON
WILLCL0SE
Swimming Season Probably
Over at End of Week

The municipal swimming pool pro-
badly will be closed at the end of the
present week. Approaching cool
weather, particularly the evenings,
has caused sharp shrinkage in the
number seeking the pleasures of the
pool. School opens next week which
will further tend to decrease the
number using the pool. It is pro-
bable, however, that the water will
be left in the pool and if there is a
warm spell within the next two or
three weeks, that would cause de-
mand for use Of the pool it will be
opened, according to the attitude of
members Of the city commission,
who discussed the matter last night.
Attendance at the pool this sum-
mer, it is belieee will break all
previous records.

REMARKABLE GAIN IN TRAFFIC OVER
MISSOURI ON new BRIDGE IS SHOWN
BYC0MP ARSON WITH FERRY TRAVEL

son visited the city few years ago.
On that day 800 automobiles were
taken across the Missouri, according
to Capt. I. P. Baker. An ordinary day
probably would see 400 motor cars
crossing the river on the ferry, he
said. Since the count Of the highway
commission was from s =. m. to 10
p m.. and large number Of cars
passed o Ter the bridge after 10 p. M,
the traffic across the river on the
bridge probably ID three to four
times as. great as when the ferry was
the only means Of transportation.
There was some rain on both days
the count was made.
The check Of foreign cars also
gives an idea Of the heavy tourist
travel, there being an average of Is
foreign cars each day for the two on
which the count was made, or at the
rate Of about 2,400 cars a month.
The figures are regarded by engi-
neers as valuable in calculating road
improvements, since it indicates the
amount Of traffic that should be ex-
pected.

Traffic over the Missouri river
here has more than tripled in the
last year. since a $1,600, 900 vehicular
bridge replaced the old ferry boat, a

day the old ferry had ever known.
