BELGIUM FEELS SLIGHTED.
Malmedy Only Territorial Claim Mentioned
in Treaty.
Paris, May 2.?The Belgian delegation
to the peace conference is expressing
dissatisfaction over the
terms of the preliminaries for peace
^ as they affect Belgium.. None of the
territorial claims of Belgium have
been granted, except that for Malmedy,
in Rhenish Prussia, a short
k. distance south of Aix La Chapelle,
the population of which before the
war was largelv Walloon. Malmedy
*? ?
will revert to Belgium. The territory
on the left bank of the Scheldt
river and Maastricht and the Limbourg
peninsula are not mentioned in
the terms.
Of the $500,000,000 already mentioned
as an immediate financial indemnity
for Belgium, more than
half of the amount has merely been
placed to Belgium's credit in allied
countries as part payment of war
loans. No provision has been made
for the recall by Germany of the six
billion marks which were left in Belgium,
and now are lying in Belgium
banks and Vaults, bearing no interest
and unproductive, as the circulation
of the mark in Belgium is not permitted.
"The amount of six billion
marks represents virtually the total
Belgian liquid wealth assets," said
?

a meifcber of the Belgian aeiegauuu
today. M. Delcroix, the Belgian pre*mier,
arrived in Paris this morning,
bringing a message of protest from
^ the Belgian senate. He conferred
with M. Hymans, of the Belgian peace
delegation, who is expected to appear
before the council of three to make
jw representations concerning the terms
granted Belgium.
Belgium later agreed to the terms
stipulated and will sign the peace
% treaty.
Drink Cures to Discontinue.
4 Chicago, May 2.?Plans are being
^ made by owners of more than 200
drink cure institutions to discontinue
business with the coming of national
prohibition, according tjo officials of
institutions here. A few of the places
may continue indefinitely as drug
cure sanitariums, but a large majority
is expected to close within a year.
James E. Bruce, an official of a
) drink cure corporation that adver *
" 1? ?'"am + Vio-r> "on ono
tises 11 nas tuicu rnv/io ~ ~ ~,
V victims of alcohol, said the prohibition
wave had for some time caused
decreased business.
* "We" figure there will be no need
^for our institutions after the country
goes dry," he said. "However, we
expect business to increase for a few
months right after prohibition beV
comes effective. But after that it will
rapidly decrease,
f;'-" "A few years ago we had 60
branches in operation throughout the
K? ^ country. Today we have 26. Drug
cases constitute about 25 per cent,
.of our business, the number being
, about the same as before the Harrison
anti-drug law went into effect
five years ago. But we do not think
it would pay to continue treating
drug case3 alone.
"Adoption of bone dry prohibition
by a number of States has decreased
business in many sections. Business
also fell off during the war, but last
fall it picked up again at about the
T time of the influenza epidemic ancl
' has been fairly good ever since."
.'* * An official of one of the oldest
chains of drink cures in the country
expressed the view their institutions
would remain open for at least a
year after the coming of national
prohibition. He admitted that beyond
that the future was uncertain.
Two years ago this concern operated
50 branches. Today the number has
been reduced to fewer than 20. He
said a few of the branches might be

anti-law, "ai*e confined largely to
the wealthy class and residents of the
underworld."
Model Service.
Bishop Patridge is a collector of
anecdotes about ministers, and in an
anecdotal mood he said the other
day:
"I once asked a minister how he
had got through a certain service. He
answered grimly:
A> "Well, bishop, the service was
soothing, moving, and satisfactory/
" 'Yes,' I said a little puzzled.
" 'Yes, exactly/ said he. 'It was
soothing because over half the congregation
went to sleep. It was mov>
ing because half of the other half
left before it was through. And it
must have been satisfactory, inasmuch
as I wasn't asked to come
again.' "?Los Angeles Times.
Too Cruel.
Mr. FV M. B. Fisher reports that
? in New Zealand some convicts recently
went on hunger strike because
a band played outside the prison.
It seems that their ground of
>> complaint was that this was not inV
eluded in the sentence.?Punch.
