FRANC0.BELGIANS WILL
 NOT INTERFERE AT ALL
Plan No Move In Rhmcland Republic Unless There should Occur
 Serious Disorders

By The Associated Press Paris. Oct. 22.--A Rhineland repub- lie apparently has made a good start at Aix-La-Chapelle and skeptics are beginning to believe the possibility that the movement will spread rapid ly so as to embrace the entire terri tory.
 The Franco Belgian authorities have made it clear that they do not intend to interfere unless there should be disorder. Belgian officials in Aix-La- Chapelle, where a republican procla- nation was issued yesterday, took the position of interested observers when the separatists headed by Leo Beck CTS and Dr. Guthardt took possession of the public buildings at Aix-La-Ch belle.
 Signs are not lacking that the less extreme separatist factions will sink their differences in view of the success already attained by the movement and join forces with Dcckers' bands.
 According to the latest advices, &C., tive groups of separatists at Mayence, Treyes, Bonn and Weisbaden will pro- claim, if they have not already done so. republic in those cities.

"oCR GLORIOUS REPuBLIC." ]"

The new Commander of the Amer ican Legion. John R. Quinn, has the good wishes of all loyal men and women in this country. not because he is the representative of the American Legion, but rather because he is the representative of the men who served in the war best able, because Of his position, to consider and urge their best interests. There is a sentimental touch to his election because of the fact that he is described as cowboy and typical westerner Of the open plains" Whether we live in New England or in the South or the far North there is something of American virility suggested by the cowboy" and the ''open plains.
 He has 8 hard task. Within the legion there are differences of opin- ion as to the bonus and other matters. = 1hould be his dutf .e represent the

The commission headed by Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the league, was appointed last summer to study postwar condi- tions chiefly as they affect European women and the prospects of improved international understanding.
 Urging that the United States join the world court on the terms proposed to the senate my President Harding, the commission asserted the court was the best existing application of the principle of law as opposed to force in the settlement of international dis putcs."
 .'The definite ideal of law as a sub stitute for war;" is most apparent in England, the commission said, add ing:

A DELEGATE MATTER.

Most of us know how soft are the
 seats of various makes of automo-
 piles; we know how we may glide over the harmonious highways, smiles
 of ecstacy upon our faces and joy il
 our hearts if we ride in those makes
 of cars. We know these things more
 because we read about the fine up
 holstery, the joy and the smiles in the
 advertisements of these automobiles.
 Now we don't know anything about
 soft upholstery in street cars, and we
 can't picture ourselves as smiling and
 gliding in them through the country.
 Why don't we know these things and all the other splendid things about the street railways?
 The Merchandise Transportation Committee told the members of the Electric Railway association the other day at the convention in Atlantic City that the electric roads did not adver- tise enough, but the committee held out hopes. It declared that the num- Der of companies now using adver- Using in one form or another, par ticuliarly newspaper advertising, is 300, while 10 years ago only one-tenth of this number adver- tised. The men behind the public advertising association hope the utilities companies will increase their advertising appropriations and will not overlook the small daily and weekly newspaper especially along in- terurban lines"
 There must be some good things about street railroads other than tho ,nes everyone knows and appreciates such as development of the country n the past. Of course it is deli ate matter for newspaper to men ion, this advertising in their columns, | ut if there are such good things | bout the street railroads the people | ,ught really to know about them as hey know the good points of auto mobiles. And the statement of this ommittee, that whether you have ings, radishes, rides or anything else D sell, newspaper advertising will elp move your goods and should be sed literally" intrigues us.
 Of course truth in advertising" is ssential Advertisements are scruti- ized closely. But if good things lay be truly said-new good things

 The strength of the Courant's criti- cism is marred somewhat when, in the last paragraph of the editorial. 1t attempts to explain the financial phenomenon" by stating that it ''cmanates from the same Washing ton bureau who has spoken so author itatively, yet vacillatingly, about the United States attorneyship in Con necticut.' Meditation seems to be the rule in regards to the attorney ship. But then, perhaps the Courant knows something about the position that our correspondent does not. Surely it should elucidate and spare our vacillation- tangled nerves if it is really actuated by a wish for our welfare.

Wallace Trying to SIC if Present Low
 Prices Are the Result of Undue Im-
 flucnccs.
 Washington, Oct. 22.--Invcstigation as to whether the prevailing low prices being paid for hogs are the re- suit of undue influences. Is being made by Secretary Wallace.
 Owe. q period of fifty years. the secretary has found the value of 100 pounds of hogs has been approximate ly the equivalent of eleven bushels of number two corn at Chicago prices. but the corn-hog ratio at present Is much out of line with normal.
 Hogs closed last week around $7 per 100 pounds for the average bulk of sales. while corn closed the week at SLOT a bushel.
 The low price or hogs of the year was s6.65 for the week June 11-16, when corn sold at S4 cents. There was a gradual increase in prices until the week ending September IS, when the average packer and shipper purchases was $S.56. Corn sold that week at an average of S9 cents. In the last month hog prices have declined more than $1.50 a hundred pounds. while the price of corn has increased 27 cents a bushel.
