* BELGIANS IN ENGLAND ‘London, Nov. 29. (By Mail)— in England, mostly in the London area. The question of their repatriation is belng carefully thought out. The reconstruction committee, which has -left London for Bruges, will work in consultation with the minister for the interior. It is planned to send the railway- men and their families back first, so the can repair and rebuild the rail- roads, thus facilitating transporta- tion of refugees who return later. In many cases men will return to Bel- glum some time in ®dvance of their famtilies in order to help build their new homes and make things ready for their women and children. Many Belgian children who arriv- ed here at a tender age cannot re. member any home other than Eng- land, and they speak English better than their native tongue. It is quite : a common thing for Belgian parents to make use of their offspring as in- terpreters—in the courts, at the doc- tor’s and recently, even to translate the posters which are dotted over England regarding =~ precautions against “‘flu.” England has done her best for the comfort and protection of Belgians who sought refuge here, and as the Belgians as a whole have been very frugal, most of them will carry back a little nest egg. _ It is a far cry back to those heart- breaking days of 1914 and 1916, when the piteous groups of Belgians first arrived here, clutching tiny packages that held all their worldly goods, dazed and bewildered by the suddenness of their flight. ORGANIZATION PLANNED 70 FIGHT "PHONE RAISE St. Paul, Dec. 14.—A meeting has been called for Sunday in St. Paul,.at the Saint Paul hotel, of all cities, towns and villages in Minnesota for | organization against the proposed in- E 2 crease of rates for telephone com- i panies operating within the state. £ Resolutions are to be adopted to that B effect and presented by a committee Monday to the state railroad and ot warehouse commission when it con- § - venes to take up the matter. The call for the meeting was sent EEi out by H. B. Watkins, secretary of the Winona Association of Commerce, who uas sent out 1,000 letters asking the- towns interested /to send dele< gates. % The principal contention of the B e committee is expected to be that the | application of the telephone com- panies for increased rates.is not an emergency question since the war ig { over; and that any shrinkage during B the period of the war was due to the £ war conditions that other corpora- i tions of the state were compelled to 1 face without the opportunity of cal- ling upon the residents of the state tor relief. It is claimed also that subscrioers from many towns will go before the commission with the statement that, if the rates are raiged, they will be compelled to dis- continue patronage with the tele- phone companies. MORE PROFITEERING IS ~ UNEARTHED: GRAFT SEEN ‘Washington, Dec. 14.-—Suspension of work on all housinig projects .under, construction for the depart- .ment. of. labor’'s: housing coropration, -.and which are not 75 per cent com- tion adopted by the senate without a record vote. The resolution was agreed upon after Senator Lenroot of Wisconsin, . a member of the public buildings and lands committee which is investigat- ing the housing projects, charged in the senate that testimony showed the George A. Fuller construction com- pany of New York had made exces- sive profits on contracts and that con- tracts had been awarded by the cor- poration in violation of law. The senate investigating | tee today inquired into profits of the E Fuller company on contracts for con- ‘commit- struction of government dormitories in Washington, J. F. Killeen, a sub- contractor, testified he hired forty- * four motor trucks at $2.75 an hour ; and sublet them to tife Fyller com- |2 pany for $3 an hour. The records 7 _of the housing corporation show, B Chairman Reed said, Fuller charged e the government $3.50 an hour for use of the trucks. Killeen said he received §1 an hour from the Fuller company for horses, while the records of the commission, Chairman Reed declare, show the government paid $1.12% an hour for them. ° - DELAY IN PAYING SOLDIERS IS CRITICISED ‘Washington, Dec. 14.—Criticism of delay of the War Rigk Insurance bureau in paying soldiers’ allotments, and of the war department for fail- ure to pay many soldiers returned from overseas for hospital treatment, was voiced again in the house. Republican Leader Mann read a telegram from Richmond, Va., saying soldiers in a hospital there had re- ceived no pay for from five to eleven months. Representative Rucker of Missouri, democrat, charged the bureau with ‘“gross negligence.” complaining he was reliably informed that it has 3,000,000 letters.“dumpeds in a heap unopened.” Before the house interstate com- merce committee, Brigadier General Lord, director of finance in the war department, said that the war risk bureau had done as well as could be expected in administ'erlng its work.
