BELGIUM'S BILL. GERMANY WBs PAY. MEANING Off FAMOOB PEACE FORMULA. London, Oct. 3. What the famous peace formula of "feparaWdn, restitution, and guarantees" means to Belgium is set forth in an interview given by Emile Yanderveide, the Belgian statesman. 'The reparation and the restitution that we demand," he said, "is, first, that oar country itself shall be' given back to us, and then that its despoilers shall be made to provide the means whereby *w xfttion may be re-cwated. We demand, from Germany the return of the money exacted from uc, the restitution of the productive material and machwery of which we have been deprived, and the wherewithal to make good tile general hwm of war. It wMI be a big bHI, bat it will have to be met and by Germany. Let me not be misunderstood, reparation mast not be confused wlfflTindemmtiee. I ant no supporter of any policy of fining Germany. But Belgium must be restored. That is oor demand." D«Hy News metor ear services from: Hawera to New Plymouth: Leaves Hooker's, Hawera, 7.30 a.m., P. 0., Eltham, »,«, P.O.
