.F00DF0R BELGIUM
IS NOT SHUT OFF
Secretary Bryan Says No
Change Has Been Made in .
Original Plans.
ANNOUNCEMENT FOLLOWS
TALK WITH AMBASSADOR
No Objection Here to Proposal That
Able-Bodied Belgians Shall
Go to Work.

Germany has made no change in the
plans originally approved by that gov
ernment for transportation Of relief to
the starving Belgians. This announce
ment was made officially today by Sec
retary Bryan, following a conference
with Count Won Bernstorff, the German
ambassador.
Mr.. Bryan said he had not been ad-
yised that the German government In
tended to detain supplies until the Bel
eians returned to work, as has been
announced in a report from Brussels.
He said the original plans were being
carried out.
In the conference with the German
ambassador and Mr. Bryan were Will
liam Phillips, third assistant secretary
of state, and Hugh Wallace, wealthy
Washingtonian.
May Name Central Committee.
1t is understood that plan was dis
cussed for the selection by President
Wilson of a central committee to take
charge of the entire question OF BEL
gian relief and prevent duplication OF
efforts. Mr.. Wallace will probably be
a member of the commission.
Officials at the Belgian legation here
do not believe Germany is planning to
stop food supplies for their destitute
countryhen sent from the Unlted
states through England. They pointed
out that Germany herself was sendlng
food.
The Belgian minister, Mr.. Havenith.
is in New York arranging for the san,
ing of five supply ships being outhtted
for Belgians by the various rellei COM
mittees in this country.
Efforts are now being made. with
success, to get contributions In the
form of supplies, and work Is under
way in Minneapolis to provide an en-
tire cargo of flour from that city.
No Objection to Plan.
There seems to be no disposition in
official circles here to object to the de-
mand of German military authorities in
Belgium that inhabitants seeking re-
lief go to work, If able to do so. The
State Department has only unofficial
reports to that effect.
The United States. in the extensive
relief measures it undertook at San
Francisco after the earthquake; in the
Mississippi and Ohio valleys flood re-
gion, and at Galveston after the tidal
wave. set at work those who were able
to render constructive service.
The subject Of enforced labor in Bel
eium was discussed by officials here
with the managers of the Rockefeller
Foundation relief expedition.
