BELGIANS GIVE FREELY.
Inhabitants of Distressed Country
Send Check for So, 1000, 900.

LONDON, November 13.-The Ameri-
can commission for relief in Belgium
has received a check on the Bank OF
England for $3,000,800, which was con-
tributed by prominent Belgians inter-
ested in the relief Of their country
men.
With the emergency work in Bel
GUM we'll under way, the commission
now is prepared to assume the perma-
nent task of keeping Belgians supplied
with food. In this connection it has
issued a statement. in part, as fol-
lows:
This substantial sum is most con-
vincing evidence of the desire of the
Belgians themselves to assist the COM
mission to the fullest extent they are
capable of doing. The contribution
also emphasizes the urgency of the sit
uation, and, as large as the sum Is, 1T
must be borne in mind that foodstuns
to the value Of about s4,000.000 month
ly must be secured for seven or eight
months OF this amount, s1,00O,0O

generous American people who are un-

tribute something from their own
stores of food into the hands OF the
local organizations. Each American
farmer out of the abundance of his

store can well afford a few bushels OF
grain. What is needed is cereals
wheat, flour, shelled corn, beans and
peas and also bacon and ham-as these
are the only articles that will stand the

given of the1pa in the battle played

to take up a section of the firing line
to support some of our cavalry. and
having advanced to its position under
heavy fire from field guns. howitzers
and machine guns. the battalion
reached a point where further move

maintained itself until dusk, when II
proceeded to intrench.
From o'clock that night until

Gus attacks on the Scottish line. all OF
which were repulsed by rifle fire. AT

assaulted the front and left OF the posi-

Ever. since the Messina earthquake in
Italy in 1908, when the American Red
Cross raised and assisted in admins
tering a relief fund of approximately y
S1,G00,000, an Italian, who has become
an American citizen and has seen serv-
ice in the United States Navy, has been
appearing at Red Cross headquarters at
odd times and displaying his gratitude
in some appreciable form for the work
of the American organization in ameli-
Grating the distress in Messina.
While in the navy he made with great
pains an embroidered emblem, which
he sent to the Red Cross. Last Easter
day handsome potted Easter lily was
received at Red Cross headquarters
with his compliments.
This Italian American came to Red
Cross headquarters today and advised
that he had been able to save $500,
which is drawing interest in a Wash
ington bank, and offered to give to the
American Red Cross European war re-
lief fund as long as the war lasts the
interest on this 500. His offer was ac-
