BELGIUM Given
NEW Terms
ON DEBT.
u. S. Offer Called to Brussels
and Commission Adjourns
To Await Answer

The American debt negotiators
have proposed plan by which
Belgium may discharge her war
debt of approximately $3.50 900, 900
to this country. and the Belgian
Commissioners have cabled it TO
Brussels for acceptance or re-
lection, it was announced at the
Treasury today.
The nature Of the American pro-
posal was such that the Belgian
ENJOYS did not feel empowered TO
make decision, and the joint
conference was adjourned today
until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
by which. time it\is expected a re-
ply will be forthcoming.
Treasury officials would not dis
close the terms contained in the
American proposition, but it is un-
derstood that they do not include a
moratorium, reports to the contrary
notwithstanding.
It is believed that somewhat more
liberal terms were proposed for Bel
GUM than were contained ii the
British settlement, both as TO the
rate of interest, and the period of
years for liquidation
The British settlement was
reached on an approximate basis
of 3Iz per cent interest, with pay
ments stretched over sixty two
years. 1t was reported that Bel
giun1 has been offered a settlement
Of approximately 3A per cent in
terest, over a period of seventy
years. Officials, however, declined
to confirm or deny these reports

MADISON HAS
violin MAKER
Had Instruments on
Display at Morse
Centennial At Min
neapOlis

Madison Madison has master
violin maker Knute Reindahl-
who has just returned from two
months sojourn in his native Nor
way. Newspaper reporters in al
most every city which he visited
flocked to see him when they heard
of his arrival, due to his fame as
one of the few successful modern
violin makers, which has spread
throughout Europe.
Thirty-nine years ago Mr.. Rein
dahl visited Norway and the city of
1elemarken, his birthplace, and
again IL years ago, and declares
that the years have brought almost
no change in the country districts.
The country folk still wear their
native costumes and the revival Of
the old Norwegian folk dance by
the young people makes one think
it is still the sixteenth century.
When Reindahl landed in Ber~
&c he met by accident a friend who
had been apprenticed with him to
a woodcarver in Chicago many
years ago-the One-time apprentice
being the artist in charge of the
restoration of an old feudal estate
-Hakon's Hall, a landmark of Ber-
gen. His travels through the
mountains in his native land was a
16 year old German made car which
he believes will still be capable of
going through the mountains six
teen years hence.
His First Violin at Eight
Mr. Reindahl made his first VIC
lin when he was about eight years
old. AS he grew older, he became
more and more interested in the
art of violin making and began to
read up on the old masters. He
found that all of them had been ex-
pert wood carVerS as We'll, and so,
he too took up wood carving. After
that, he declares violin making was
easy. He has been engaged in
that occupation for 10 years.
His violins have gone to almost
every country in Europe and are
used by some of the greatest artists
ana endorsed by many more,
Among those using Reindahl VIC
Inns are, Amile Sauret, Arthur Hart
mann, Fritz Kreisler and Hugo
Hermann
One of his hand carved cellos
was exhibited at the Norse-Ameri-
can celebration held at Minneapolis
in June. He also had on exhibit
ion a hand-carved violin head.
