BELGIUM ARE MUCK BETTER Brussels, Belgium. Sept. 23.-The] forman administration in Belgium aa so far succeeded in reconstructing he financial system of the country] hat a number of the larger business 's, such as the big factories, coal] aines and banks, 'Which practically j ame to a standstill a year ago, have ?en able to resume operations. 4j?he withdrawal of toe directors of he National Bank of London in Au ruat; 1614. who took with them UH1 ;old stock and the plates for prlnt ng notes, left the country without a olid basis for its currency system, sotes were in circulation, but there eas no gold with which to redeem ?tem; and there was danger that the irculatlon might be further exn?:.d d through new issues of the Belgian ;overnment in London, which could vastly be smuggled into the country, loon after the occupation of Belgian erritory the German governmnt de lutlxed Dr. von Lumm, one of the aost efficient directors of the Reichs tank, to proceed to Belgium and take n o'.iarge the rehabilitation of the ! ?irrency system. As the officials of he National bank had refused to re urn to Brussels or restore its assets, t became necessary to find a new vay of securing the note circulation. At the same time the German au horities were levying war contribu ions upon various Belgisn cities to alee money tor meeting the expenses if governing the occupied territory- | contributions which could not easily >e raised in tho form of cash. TI ve :ities were therefore asked to issue heir certificates of indebtedness pay ibl nt some future time, and it was de eded to use these as one form of se surity for new notes, besides bank ualances abroad, German gold and >ther currency. Aa the National bank ?ad refused to continue the further iischarge of Its fnnctlons, the note? ssulng power was conferred upon the Soci?t? General de Belgique, sae old est'and largest banking company of :he"country. This concern has now been serv ing.* for some months as bank of is lue, and Its notes have come into gen eral circulation. Especially Its smaller, notes are In great demand, lie' silver currency having long ago Reappeared by reason of hoarding. Two other Important financial tasks had to be taken in hand. One waa the fixing of indemnities to bs oald for supplies of staple goods like coal and other raw materials which had been taken over by the military authorities for the armies: the other was the abolition of the moratorium, which had been in force ?Ince the war began. The settlement of the indemnities was complicated by the fact that the goods ia question were in many cases not owned out right, but were still to be paid for by the persons from whom they were naized. The commission having this matter In hand waa, however, author* Iced to pay in. advance half of the value of suc? goods, pending the final adjustment, in order that manufac turing and other business concerns might as soon as possible come into possession ot money with which to resume operations. The moratorium, on the other hand, presented difficulties which have not boen overcome. After bearing the $3.00 ? YOU CAN-SM WEARING W. L. VALUE GU name and the price stamp? full value.
