However, the average loss for 1923
is below that of the two previous
years, in spite of the great amount
of hail. The average loss in 1928 is
$1S4, in 1922 it was $193 and in 1921
it was $227.
1t is estimated that approximate
ly one-fourth of the tillable acres of
land in the state was insured in the
state department during the past
season.
In order to prevept the hail in
surance law from becoming burden
some and to insure low rates, the
legislature provided that in no year
could the maximum tax exceed 80
cents an acre. Last year the tax
was AZ cents an acre, and in 1921 it
was "A cents an acre on $500 an
acre insurance and 63 cents on $1,000
an acre. The 50-cent maximum tax
this year, it is estimated, will yield
about 81 percent of the total indem-
nifty.
The situation was discussed with
Commissioner Olsness by Governor
Nestos and Attorney General George
Shafer late yesterday. They spent
some time considering the legal as
poets of the case, the hail insurance
department having asked the Attor-
ney-General's office to, examine the
statues to see if there could be
placed on the law construction
which would permit the. use of sur
plus accruing prior to July l, 1928
in meeting this years losses. Until
the legal question is settled it is
probable that there will be no ac-
tion taken in the situation.

LITTLE HEADWAY

Coblenz, Germany, Oct. 26.-The
new Rhineland republic, is much
where it was yesterday. The Sep
aratists maintain with difficulty their
hold on AK La Chapelle, Bon,
Duisburg, Duren and Crefeld, while
the strength of their position in
Coblenz which they re-entered yes
terday remains to be seen.
In all these places, however, the
Republicans are subjected to sort
of guerrilla warfare on the part of
the L0yalists. French and Belgian
troops are trying to~restore order.
Only at Trierre do they seem to ems
joy undisturbed possession. The
Secessionists also say they have oc-.
cupied a number of towns in the dis
trict. The city of Cologne is depend
ing on the town of Euskirchen for
its dairy products and fodstuffs.
Euskirchen is one of the small towns
which the Secessionists claim to have
occupied.

BIG DECREASE
IN ACREAGE0F.
LAND INSURED.
Steady Decline in State Hail
Insurance in Last Three
Years Is Revealed
MAKES FOR HIGH RATE
Situation with Respect to This
Years Losses Under Con-
sideration at Capitol
MAKES FOR HIGH RATE

A marked decrease in the number
of acres of tillable land insured
against hail with the State Hail In
surance Department is shown by the
records for the last three years. The
Department, according to an an
nouncement yesterday, is facing a
serious situation in that the maxi
mum tax will not pay all losses one
hundred cents on the dollar. Both
exceedingly heavy hail losses and
Withdrawals are given as causes.
The hail loss of 1928 was exceed
ed in 1921 in the amount of the in
dcmnity allowed. In 1921 the losses
amounted to $4,7SS. 593 as compared
to $4,668,381 in the prest,\ year,
while in 1922 the losses amounted to
$3,537 900.
The difficulty of the department
is traceable in part to the decrease
in the number of acres insured.
Withdrawals by farmers from the
protection of the insurance were
very heavy in 1923. The number Of
acres of land insured for $7.00 per
acre hail insurance in the last three
years follow:
1921 ............. 11,363,481
1922 ................. 9,187.A67
1928 3.............. 7,74S,467
The insured acreage in 1923 had
fallen more than 80 percent below
the insured acreage in 1921. The
decrease in the insured acreage for
1923 over 1922, Is percent, was due
to Withdrawals in many counties. In
1919 the insured acreage was 12,408,-
900. The total number of \ tillablc
acres is about 28,0O0,O00.
The number of the losses in 1923
also exceeds the other years. The
total number of losses for the last
three years follows:

:. CORRESPONDENTS GIVEN
London, Oct. Is. - Correspondence
issued by the foreign office last night
showing that the British govern
ment had seized the occasion of the
first public statement by President
Coolidge on the situation in Europe
to send another formal invitation to
the Washington government to CO.

attempt to settle the reparations diff

The secret had been we'll kept, es-
pecially considering the presence in
London Of all the empire representa-
tives, who must have been aware Of
the move, which undoubtedly was
discussed in the confidential debates
in the imperial conference on foreign
affairs.
Lord Curzon's request is for Amer
lean participation in any form, either
official or unofficial, or, alternative
ly, to participation in an inquiry by
special commission appointed by
the reparation commission. Whether.
the governments move was prompted
by General SHUTS, or whether Gen
eral Shuts famous speech was in
tended to lend weight to the govern
ment's move is not known, but i
will be noted that General Smu,s'
proposal was for q conference of al!
the powers, including the neutrals,
not merely those interested in repar-
ations. -
In his reply to Lord Curxon, Sec
retary Hughes declares that the
United States is willing to take part
in an economic conference in which
