Sharks Menace
Path of Girls
Channel Attempt

Cape Girls Nez, France, Aug. l7-[P)
Sharks have appeared in the Eng
lish channel within the last few days
adding another hazard to the already
countless difficulties of the attempt
to swim the English channel which
Miss Gertrude Ederle plans to make
tomorrow. beginning at 1928 o'clock
in the morning.
Two sharks, measuring little over
six feet in length, were caught by
fishermen seven miles off Boulogne
last night.
Precautions have been taken to keep
the news of the sharks appearance
from Miss Ederle when she arrives
here tonight for her last rest before
the attempt to swim the channel.
During one Of his attempts to swia,
the channel, Jabez Wolfe, Miss
Ederles- trainer, was forced to leave
the water because Of the attacks Of q
huge shark.

BANKERS SEE
AIR MAIL AID
TO BUSINESS
Financial Data Too Bulky for
Wire Report Could BE
Dispatched by Air

Busines men and bankers more than
any other clas will find use for the
proposed air mail service from Chi
cago to the Northwest, according to
Clinton II. Andrus, secretary to Arch
Coleman, postmaster of Minneapolis
who was q member of the aerial
pioneering group which visited North
Dakota and neighboring states last
week.
Much banking business is too bulky
to handle by telegraph and despite
the privacy which is guaranteed to
telegraph messages by law is of such
nature that bankers prefer to use
letters, Andrus said
Two Days
Under the proposed system a let
ter weighing one ounce, can be sent
from Bismarck or other North Dakota
points to New York in two days and
to San Francisco in two days, the
largest part of the time being taken
up in the trip from the Dakota points
to St. Paul.
The expense will be very cheap
considering the speed Of the service
he said. The standard price for air.
mail letters is cents an ounce across
OHC ZOuc. AucEc arc IuTcC LOUCS
New York to San Francisco, making
the cost of sending an airmail letter
across the continent "a cents. From
North Dakota points to New York
however, would be considered as one
zone, Andrus said.
Cost Ten Cents
The cost of airmail letters from,
North Dakota to New York would be
10 cents, however, because of the
fact that the proposed Twin Cities
Chicago airmail would be handled by
private corporations under contract
In that case the government will COL
lect two cents, its regular price, on
each letter and the remaining eight
cents would 60 to the flyers. On
the transcontinental service, which is
operated by the government, the cost
is lower.
Andrus refused to discuss the posi-
bility Of cheapening the airmail ser.
vice still further but aeronautical
men here say that the development OF
the airplane should be such that air.
mail service in the future will be
much cheaper than it is now. In
creased-volu Of business will tend
to reduce costs in that line Just as
it has in others, they assert.

HINGE FRENCH TERMS
Settlement Arranged with
Belgium Will he Basis Of
Future Negotiations

Plymouth, w., Aug. l7.--LP
the isolation Of this quaint hamlet,
President Coolidge grappled today
with the veXing and far-reaching
Belgian debt problem.
With the American debt committee
appealing to him for guidance out
of the maze of negotiations with
Belgium's mission. he sought infor-
nation as to the exact situation and
the prospects for q refunding settle
ment from Secretary Mellon and
Senator Smoot Of Utah.
COrferees at White Court
The two debt commissioners were
invited here for conference at their
request. to ascertain, in advance to
a resumption Of negotiations between
the American and Belgian commits
Sions tomorrow.
The president. thus far, has given
no indication as to what he thinks
should be done, he realizes the grav
ity Of the situation and the des!ra-
bility of reaching an agreement ac-
ceptahle TO American public and TO
congress.
The question in his mind is one
that must be dealt with in firm
and far-Sighted manner, particularly
in view of the approaching refund
ing negotiations with France and
Italy.
A concession to Belgium. he be-
lieves, may set embarrassing prece
dent for agreements with the other
two debtor nations. Failure to reach
an accord with the mission from
brussels, he realizes further, might
seriously hamper the United States
in working out satisfactory refund
ing arrangements with others.
Terms Severe
In addition the president in Of
feriug advice to the American com
m,tee is confronted with the terms
Of the settlement with Great Britain,
terms which were approved by con-
gress but which it is apparent the
Belgium mission believes are too Sc
we're for it to undertake.
Nothing official has been learned
here as to what terms Belgium is
willing to accept for refunding the
$4S0, 100000 debt. 1t is believed,
however, that the main points ut is
sue are the interest rates and the
schedule of payments.
Washington advices indicated that
il these were carried to successful
conclusion there must be material
yielding by the Belgians.
The following statement in the
presidents handwriting was given to
newspapermcn at noon:
Secretary Mellon and Senator
Smoot have reported TO the president
the details Of the Washington con-
ference. The progress is satisfactory
no details developed, the secretary
and Senator came to inform the
president of the proposals before
making the final agreement. The
conference will reconvene at 3 p. m.,
Tuesday, when it is expected final
agreement may be reached, after
which full and complete statement
will be given to the press by the
American commission.
The secretary and Senator Smoot,
both members of American debt COM
mittee. came here to give the execu-
tive first hand information as to the
negotiations, temporarily suspended,
between the Belgian and American
commissions in Washington. Neither
they nor the president would 60 be-
yond the statement issued to the
press, and the probable terms of the
agreement were not disclosed.

ELECTRIFIED FARMS
(Reading Tribune)

Only 2H per cent Of the farms
of the United States have electric
service Nevertheless. the depart
ment of agriculture says. electric
ity is already supplying more farm
power than is supplied by gasoline
engines. Some of it is received
from central stations. Many farm
homes have individual generation
plants.
This means much in better light
ing for house and farm buildings
in the opportunity for the farm
wife to use labor-saving machin
cry and for the farm husband to
have improved equipment in man,
phases of his work.
1t is partly the use Of electricity
along with the gasoline engine an:
other up-to-date equipment. thai
has enabled the American farmer
today to produce three times a:
much per man as was produced
with the methods of 1850. The
power available to every farm
worker is now estimated at a..
horse power as against 1.5 hors'
power seventy-five years ago.
Undoubtedly the per cent o
farms using electricity will no
long remain as low as it stands to
day. 1t will be happy day TO-
farmers and for the whole countr.
when electricity is available il
every farm community.
