EDITORIAL PAGE

This paper consistently opposed
enactment of the so-called prize
fighting law. We said then that
the prize fight is a revolving and
brutal spectacle. and should not
be tolerated in a civilized COM
munity. Of course. we have no
sympathy with people who are
knocking the game on account of
mixed contests. for we believe
men of our group should have
the same right as white man to
fight whom he pleases. and the
matter of race should not be the
issue. Commercialized ring bat
ties are wrong as they prostitute
clean sport, and give our young
people a wrong conception of
morals.

KELLOGG PROPOSAL
FAVORED BY BELGIUM
Government Expected to Notify
United States Authorities Of
It's Approval.

BY the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Belgium, May 23.--The
Belgian government has concluded its
study of Secretary Kellogg's plan for
the outlawry of war and soon will notify
Washington of its adhesion to the prin-
ciples expressed therein.
Although Belgium was not directly
invited to participate in the negotia-
tions, it was given copies of the Franco
American correspondence. Several other
powers, which had been similarly in
formed about the Kellogg proposals, ex-
pressed desire to know Belgium's atti-
tude. The government here thereupon
declared itself in full sympathy with the
proposal and favorable to any act which
would fortify the guarantees held by
Belgium under the Locarno pact and
the League of Nations covenant.
Belgium considers it advisable to FORE

fore has announced an opinion that
contractual obligations already existing
should be confirmed formally by all
concerned Furthermore, since Belgium
Is signatory to the Locarno treaties,
It expects an invitation to participate in
any general exchange of views.
This attitude was explained yesterday
by Paul Hymans, minister Of foreign
affairs, to Hugh S. Gibson, the American
Ambassador. Mr.. Gibson was given full
information respecting the views of
the Belgian government.

RN the Associated freSs,
HAMBURG, Germany, May 23.--Dr.
Hugo Stol2enberg. head of the chemi-
cal plant which was the scene of Sun
day nights poison gas catastrophe, said
today that 40 tons of phoSgene are
shipped to the United States annually.
Previously it had been stated that the
gas which escaped. causing the deaths
OF ii persons. was destined for the
United States.
Dr. Stolzenberg named the Heyden
Chemical Corporation and the North
western Co. as consignees. He did not
give the address.
II is now proposed to dump the re-
naming stock of phosgene in the North
Sea in order to remove any possible
further danger.
The fire brigade of the Wilhelmsberg
district. which was most seriously af-
fected by the disaster is still being
summoned at various times TO care for
newly discovered victims of gas poison
ing.
The Hamburg Parliament is prepar-
ing to investigate the catastrophe.

BERLIN. May 23.-Although no of
fetal information is yet available con-
corning the origin and intended use of
the poison gar which did frightful DAM
age in Hamburg and nearby suburbs
Sunday, popular indignation is grow
ing.
The Communist newspaper, Red Flag
states specifically that the gas was one
Of the hidden deposits of the reichswehr
and that 1t was to be used against Rus
sia, thus answering the Social Demo-
Gratis charge that the gas was imported
from Russia.
The democratic papers cry scandal
and the conservatives are silent, thus
increasing the popular suspicion that
once more responsibility lies in illegal
action on the part of "UnteachableS" In
the reichswehr
Toll Is Now Eleven.
The number Of dead now is placed at
eleven
The writer is confirmed in the belief
that the gas came from Sweden and
was imported by the Germans at n
time Of political crisis and held for use
in case of emergencies" 1t is certain
that the factory itself was NOT one Of
the two which the Versailles treaty per-
mits to manufacture phosgene. 1t is
also certain that the gas was not man
ufactured in Hamburg.
1t is feared in democratic quarters
that the so-called investigation will not
really investigate, but failure TO produce
the facts would smell of illegality and
arouse the worlds suspicious at time
when Germany needs world confidence.

On January 28th, Edward A.

Arch Priest of the Kodiak Russian church. The wedding took place at the Russian church and was attended by at least 200 friends of the high con- tracing parties.
 What with the impressive ceremony the trimly dressed bridegroom. the rich, exquisite trousseau and loyliness Of the bride, it was the greatest mat rimonial event that has occurred in Kodiak for many moon.
 The writer wishes he was able to describe the manner in which. and brides wedding gown, but not know ing much about the manifold things that women wear, he will only say that she had as much on as women generally wear nowadays, and that it looked and made her look very charm ing indeed.
 Perhaps someday when they wear less than they do today, when there is not much of anything to describe, he can give better writeup of wedding events

LYON VILLAGE, Va, November 23.--
The executive committee of the Lyon
Village Citizens Association last night
adopted resolution urging the estab-
lishment of voting precinct in the
village. The association will be asked
to approve the resolution at Its meeting
next Wednesday.
A voting precinct in the village, the
committee pointed out, will tend to re-
lieve congestion at the polls in the
Clarendon precinct, which was so great
November 6 that many voters were
forced to stand in line for an hour or
more before casting their ballots. There
are now more than 100 qualified voters
in the village, it was said, and this
number is expected to be doubled with
in year.
The committee adopted another reso-
luton, requesting the association to re-
tain counsel to ascertain the rights of
property owners in the village with re-
spect to road Improvements. This
action, the committee said, was pro-
voked by an unsatisfactory answer from
the firm of Lyon & Fitch. developers of
the village, concerning the association S
request for information as to the road
maintenance plan.
A special committee composed of H.
E. Stelle and E. H. Harris was ap-
pointed to make arrangements for an
entertainment for members Of the as
sociation. 1t will be held December z
in Odd Fellows Hall in Clarendon.
