unusually large imports. was but
$176.o65, 900.

A MILLION DOLLARS A WEEK FOR
CHEWING GUM

total sum paid by the consumers
considerably above an average of
one million dollars a week
It seems that the habit" has
proved contagious as relates to
other countries, for our exports of
chewing gum show as large per-
centage of increase as do those of
factory production. Whether it
was the example set by the Ameri-
can soldiers who found it a con-
venient companion in their long
marches, it is at least fact that
the world demand began shortly
after the opening of the war and
grew very rapidly, since official
statistics of exports, which only
began with the year 1916, show an
advance from less than million
dollars in 1916 to IA millions in
1920, while the value of the ex-
ports in 1928, though materially
less than i'll 1920, are 40%o greater
than in 1922.
Where does it go-these millions
of dollars worth of this product
now being sent out Of the coun-
try? To practically every coun-
try of the world. Figures pre-
pared for the Trade Record show
that the exports Of chewing gum
in 1920 went to no less than Is
countries and colonies scattered
the world over. To dignifed
England the total exports of
1920 were approximately a million
dollars, measured at the wholesale
price at the port from which ex-
ported, and in 1918 the exports to
Great Britain were S1,120,000.
France took in 1920 $383.000 worth.
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1923-08-30

and other European countries in
proportionate quantities, though to
Germany the export was COM
paratively small, only $3.50 worth.
That it is equally popular in
the other side of the globe is
evidenced by the fact that our
total exports to Asia and Oceania
amounted to nearly half million
dollars in value, including $289,000
worth to the Philippines, $4,000 to
Japan, $4,000 to Australia, and
$4,000 to India. South America
also developed the habit and the
total to that continent in 1920 was
$275,000, while the sales in Africa
were also large, the total to Egypt
alone being nearly 100000.
That the habit has come to
stay" seems to be an accepted
view by that very high au-
thority-capital, for nothing is SO
wary as capital in forecasting the
future demand of manufacturing
industry. And when we find, says
the Trade Record, that the amount
of capital invested in the chewing
gum industry as stated by the CEN
sus reports was in 1919 $23000,000
against only $10060,000 in 1914 it
would appear that those studying
the manufacturing industries. from
the standpoint of the investor have
confidence in the future world de-
mand for this article of which
the United States is apparently the
chief producer, since official rec
ords of the government fail to
show any importations of this class
of merchandise.

DENIES KNOWLEDGE
OF BALZER Staying
Sank County officials, However, Hold
Up Jaeger Murderers Pending
Further Investigations.
CBy Associated Press Leased wire)

Baraboo, Wis. Final disposition
of the cases of Alvin L. Jensen and
John Galloway, Madison painters held
on charges of first degree murder in
connection with the Staying of Robert
Jaeger, aged recluse, is being delayed
pending further investigation by de-
tectives of a possible connection that
Jensen may have had with the Staying
of Julius, Mary and William Balzer, a
year ago. The officers are also seek
ing what they think to be the miss
ing balance of Jaeger's hoard, thought
to amount to $1,000.
The opinion is expressed by detec-
tives that Jensen may have some
knowledge of the Balzer killing, al
though the man emphatically has de-
MED any connection with that crime.
All efforts to connect him with the
crime have f@iled.
Investigators are. said to have the
names of four men suspected of hav-
ing knowledge Of details of the Balzer
killing, all of whom dropped from
sight after the crime. They expect
to continue their investigation into
this angle of the situation.

BELGIUM ECHOES THE
DEMANDS OF FRANCE
Stays With French Statesmen in De-
mands on Britain for Repara-
ton Settlement.
CBy Associated Press Leased Wire,


Paris-The Belgian government in
its reply to the last British reparation
note stands with France on the prin-
cipal points of contention, maintain
ing that the legality of the Ruhr
occupation has been established by the
previous action of the allies, including
Great Britain and that evacuation Of
the Ruhr valley is impossible on sim
pie promises from Germany.
The reply given out at the Belgium
embassy here this morning, dwells
particularly upon the justice of Bel
gums claim to priority in reparation
payments. 1t points out that thus far
Belgium has received only two million
gold marks more than Great Britain.
Foreign Minister Jaspar asserts that
the whole problem of PREPARATIONS and
the question of inter-allied debts, are
definitely bound together, and he pro-
poses a new method of procedure in
the negotiations suggesting conversa-
tions among the allies, without
reverting to the old system of con-
ferences."
Would Reduce British Share.
M. Jaspar remarks that if a reduc-
ton in Germany's debbis necessary,
the balance she is9 obliged to pay
ought to apply to material damages
only. This might be understood as
meaning the elimination of pensions
from the allied claims on Germany,
thus reducing the British share to an
Ainfnite small percentage.
The Rukr, the note says, is what the
Germans have required it to be by
their violence and resistance. 1t was
intended to be an economic operation
and a simple seizure of the pledges
which the allies had right to take
under the treaty of Versailles. If the
military feature of the occupation has
been necessarily extended, the note
continues, the Germans alone are
responsible. The occupation will be
modified whenever the German people
abandon their present attitude.

MADISON VETOES
{ COUNTY POLICE
Law Does Not Provide for
Compensation, Attorney
General Rules.
DISCOVERS NEW Law

Compensation for police officers of
the county townships cannot be grant
ed under the state law, according to
S. Symmonds, district attorney, from
the office of the attorney general at
Madison.
In commenting on the opinion to-
day, Mr.. Symmonds said that he be-
ieves that the attorney general erred
in rendering the opinion owing to the
fact that all the law covering the mat
ter was not taken into consideration.
The district attorney today requested
that the attorney general give the mat
ter further consideration.
Mr.. Symmonds asked for the opinion
in, connection with his plan to estab-
lish eight police departments, one for
each township in the county, for the
purpose of relieving the sheriff's de-
partment of much Of the county police
work. The present force of sheriff's
deputies, the district attorney believes,
is not sufficient to cope with the large
amount of work which it is now forced
to handle.
May Appoint But Not Hire.
In his opinion, the attorney general
states that the townships in the coun-
ty have power to appoint enforcement
officials and endow them with police
powers, but that the word "hire" does
not appear in the law, and that there
is no provision made for compensating
these men for their work.
In an interview today Mr.. Symmonds
said that after he sent the letter to
the attorney general he went into the
law still further and found another
section which more fully covers the
case. With this discovery he attempt
ed to stop the first letter, but that he
found that it had already been sent.
The section upon which the opinion
was rendered is Wisconsin 6O.29. The
new section upon which he is request
ing an opinion is 61.34.
This last section he says, is just as
strong as the first charter of the city
of Kenosha, upon which the present po-
lice department was organized. Under
the charter there was no difficulty
in making provisions for the compen-
sation of the policemen.
All Law Not Considered.
Mr.. Symmonds says that the opinion
which was rendered by the attorney
general is correct as far as it goes,
but that it does not take into consid-
Grafton all the law covering the case.
He today stated that he is at fault
for not having made himself clear on
the exact point Of law in question.
However, with the discovery of the
additional section, he feels confident
that the Madison authorities will find
that the townships have power to pay
the men they choose to appoint.
Providing sufficient number of al
TRUSTS could be found in the county
to appoint as police officers, the pres
emit opinion of the attorney general
would work, Mr.. Symmonds said. How
ever, he believes that "a laborer is
worthy of his hire" and that this Is
the only firm foundation upon which
law enforcement department can be
built. Policemen, he says, must be
hired rather than simply appointed.

n ERMAN opposition to the French
" in the Ruhr was considerably
strengthened by a visit which Chancel-
lor CunO made to Essen at the call of
the labor unions. The food situation
had grown acute and the union leaders
made it plain that the government con-
troll Of foodstuffs from the producers
to the workers was the only way to
save the Ruhr from a communist up
rising. Cuno consented to try the plan
and appointed Burgomaster Schmidt
Of Dusseldorf as Ruhr dictator, with
power to ration food and fix prices.
Cuno and his cabinet then decided
not to break off diplomatic relations
with France entirely. 1t was said they
feared further French seizures, but the
French went right on with the Selling.
Across the Rhine from Strasbourg they
occupied two junction points on the
Transalpine railway; in Hesse they
advanced to Goddelau, apparently on
their way to Frankfurt; and in the
Wupper valley they seized several
towns between the English zone Of oc-
cupation and Elberfeld, which city
they surrounded with troops, prevent
ing the export of any coal to southern
Germany. The Germans have been no
titled that persons found damaging
railway property will be sentenced to
death, and in other respects the French
regulations are growing more and more
stringent. Still public opinion in
France is that Premier Poincare is too
lenient to the Germans.

pacts relating to submarines and
gas in warfare and to China and the
Chinese tariff, negotiated In the Wash
ington conference, were ratified on
Wednesday by the italian chamber of
deputies. Premier Mussolini and his

ligible.
From Paris comes word that the
navy treaty will soon be presented to
the French parliament, with a recon-
mendation for its adoption, but with
the understanding that the limitations
on French armament shall not be ac-
copied as establishing a principle.
