The Premier said the French and Belgian Governments had agreed mot to consider any proposal from Ohancellor Cuno unless it was pre- » ceded by complete and final cessa- tion of the German passive resist- ance campaign.

ITY ORDERS WABASE STATION OFF STREET Railroad Notified to Correct 15. Foot Encroachment on Delmar Boulevard Within 30 Days. . The Wabash Railroad was notified by the city today to correct the 15- foot encroachment of its Delmar boulevard station upon the boule- vafd within 30 days or the city would correct it with its own workmen and send the bill. 5 When the Wabash announced its intention recently to combat in the courts the city’s plan for elimina- tion of the Delmar’ boulevard grade crossing, city officials discovered that. in 1907, when Delmar boule- vard was widened, the Wabash rail- road was paid $2712.40 as damages occasioned by the widening, because the station was left encroaching up- on the street and it would be neces- sary for the railroad to remove it. The boulevard was widened from 55 to 80 feet. The city has not pressed removai of the station pre- viously because it was felt that when the grades were separated the road would build a new station and the encroachment thus would be_ re- moved. The present station fs a dilapidat- ed frame structure, which would be easily moved and which, city of- ‘ficials say, would not be mourned if ‘it should disappear entirely.

CORVALLIS, Ore., June 9.—The vanguard of the army of caterpillars which has invaded this section reached Corvallis yesterday and the Sidewalks of some sections today were covered with the creatures. The enterpillars were responsible” for /considerable delay to a train near here last Wednesday and delayed another train 15 minutes yesterday. According to Prof. W. J. Chamber- lain of the State Agricultural College, the incursion is a periodic one caused by a temporary advantage gained by the caterpillars over a! parasite which normally destroys most of the species in this section.
