SEVEN MILLIONS FACE
 FAMINE IN BELGIUM
Less Than Two Weeks Food Supply Remains in Cities While Conditions in Country Are Worse, Says American Ambas-

 Belgians of all classes appear disheart- ened. Old women and cripples may be seen sitting near their shattered homes in Malines nodding mutely at the cathed- ral with its shattered windows and tot tcring walls. Similar conditions are found in small villages between Antwerp and Brussels. Few stores are open. Villages that stood near contested forts literally were razed; many inhabitants remain liv- ing in rudely constructed sheds or tents In Brussels the streets are filled with German soldiers and marines. Automo- piles of the officers dash in all direc- tons.
 By an official order there has been posted throughout the country names of Belgians and Britishers sentenced to i'm prisonment for insults offered to Germa soldiers.
 Others are warned to obey military or ders and are advised that the Germans have no intention of seizing noncom- hatants. The Germans pay for everything obtained in stores.
