BELGIUM OFFICIALLY ACCEPTS FRENCH PACT
Labor Element Prevented Earlier Ratification of Territorial Alliance Say Reports
Paris, Paris. 13—The Belgian minister today notified the French foreign office that the Franco-Belgian territorial alliance had been officially accepted by Belgium and was effective immediately.
While the terms of the Franco-Belgian alliance never have been made public they are supposed to provide for an effective and offensive strategy, and instead immediately join France if the former went to war. If such terms were accepted Belgium neutrality would be abolished and Germany would have a legal right to invade in case of another war with France.
Reports from Belgium two weeks ago, indicated the labor element had prevented the government from ratifying the treaty.
Under the provisions of the League of Nations the treaty must be made public and be acceptable to the league before it becomes effective.

At the Other End of the Wire
ATWIST of the wrist and electricity lights cities and towns, turns the wheels of industry, or affords conveniences to millions of people.
But let us follow the wire carrying this energy to its source and we find either a waterfall, a coal mine or an oil well.
Much of the supply of fuel in this country is being used up rapidly while the power of water is running to waste. For the rivers and streams of this country could, if properly harnessed, develop enough electric power to save 300-000,000 tons of coal annually.
By studying nature's forces—coal, oil and water—by applying them to machines, and finally by the perfection of apparatus to insure uninterrupted power service under varying conditions, the General Electric Company is serving to make electric power cheaper, more plentiful and reliable.
