Fish Commission Wil
 Work Near Anchorage

H. E. Ellsworth, of the Territorial Fish commission announced today that in addition to the work contem- plated in the vicinity of Seward this year, he would do considerable stream clearing in Cottonwood creek, in the vicinity of Anchorage, and would also open communication between the lakes at Wasilla for fish propagation.

 The proposition to release a large number of salmon in the Panama riv- CT near Fairbanks will insure plenty of fish on the Yukon within year or two. These fish will be matched in the Grouse Lake hatchery and talk en to the sloughs and waters near Fairbanks and Nenana and released. They will be of large size to insure protection against their enemies.

BELGIUM CANNOT
 SHIFT LIABILITY
Washington Opposed to Making
 Germany Responsible '.

Washington. July IS PA-The Washington government is expected 10 look cody upon any proposal that Germany should be held re- sponsible for payment of any Of the Belgian war debt to the United States.
 Statements were mad in the Bel glan chamber Of deputies yesterday by former Foreign Minister Hymans indicating that the Belgian debt mis- sion. soon to arrive in Washington, would raise the contention that Bel glum was relieved Of responsibility for her war debt by reason of spe- Cial provision Of the Versailles treaty providing Germany should re- imburse Belgium for that obligation.
 The Washington government, however. has previously taken that position that il could not submit to substitution of German liability and there is no reason to believe a change in sentiment has occurred.
 The suggestion that Belgium would plead the Versailles treaty provision was first made in May in press dispatches from Paris. The treaty clause provides that In addi- ton 10 other obligations undertaken and because of her violation Of the treaty of 1889 guaranteeing Bel gium against aggression. Germany agreed Ito make reimbursement of all sums which Belgium has bor- roWed from the allied and associat- ed governments up 10 the armistice. together with per cent interest on those sums.
 This stipulation Is viewed by the Washington government as an addi- tional claim which Belgium may collect from Germany as reimburse ment, but not requiring the United States 10 look to Germany for pay ment of the war debt.
 If has been understood here that during the Paris conference for al location of annuities under the Dawes plan the question of this spe- cial claim by Belgium was fully dis cuSsed and that the Belgian repre- sentation fully understood the atti- tude of the Washington government at that time. 4 stipulation of the Paris agreement provides that pend ing final settlement of accounts for the alocaton of amounts to be re- Ceived from Germany that France should receive 46 per cent and great Britain 42 per cent of the repara- tons "and Belgium (hy reason Of her debt to the United States) ic per cent"
 This stipulation is pointed 10 as conclusive evidence that the Wash iugton government at that time re- iterated the position it has always taken In declining to accept any pro posal under which tn" responsibility of the associated powers for debts t' the United States would be pass'G on directly to Germany.

 In spite of numerous complaints concerning the unsanitary condition in the Rockwell park bathing lagoon and other places al Rockwell park, .the Connecticut state department Of health found the samples submitted not condemnatory, according to the minutes Of the regular monthly meeting of the board of park com, mssionors held last evening.
 The situation at Rockwell park was discussed at length. but no defl- mite action was taken. The minutes concerning the meeting are as fol- lows:
 Six reports from the Connecticut state department of health were re- ceiycd.
