RELIEF COMMITTEE
WINDS UP AFFAIRS
Chairman Hoover Sub.
mits His Report to Am
bassador Page.

London, Oct. 1.-The relief commit
tee formed by Americans resident IN
London mas wound up business, and its
chairman, Herbert Clark Hoover. has
submitted report to Ambassador
Page showing in detail the WORK done
The initial move was taken by Mr..
Hoover on August 8. when Consul Gem
eral Skinner advised him OF the acute
temporary restitution of many tourists
or account of the series of bank hol-
DAYS during the first few days Of Au-
gust. Mr.. Hoover gathered some
$4,000 in cash, with which a loan bu-
reau was opened in the consulate. APP
plicarts were given small loans with
out security and without interest, but
to date all of the loans have been re-
paid with the exception of about sou.
The next step was the formation OF
the committee of American residents,
with Ambassador Page as president,
Mr.. Hoover as chairman, Clarence Graf
as treasurer and F. c. Van Duzer az
secretary. The benevolent fund to
which the American residents SUBJ
scribed amounted to Sl6,333, and a
fund 10 guarantee banking operations
amounted TO S41,9SS.
An American Citizens Committee
was also formed at a mass meeting OF
tourists, ind Theodore Hetzler was
named chairman. W. North Duane
secretary and William c. Breed treas.
urer, all from New York. The depart
ure of members of the tourists or
ganization caused its practical extlnc-
tor about the middle of August, but
during its existence 1t spent nearly
$4,000 for relief and also gave Sl0,oo0
to the residents committee.
tho
authorized by DR.. Page TO draw on and
help administer the Congressional fund
of 100000.
So far $4,000 has been drawn from
the Congressional appropriation, COW
ering the relief of 1000 persons. But
the committee has made available to
Americans in all about 100000
through supplemental banking and va
rious means. Over $500 have been
financed home either entirely or in part
by the committee.
There has been some friction be-
tween the committee and small MI
nority of refugees who objected either
to drawing on their own resources for
their fares home or to accepting third
class on the steamers. But the large
majority have been grateful for an
opportunity TO help themselves.
At times the committee had as many
as 1000 persons in lodgings under its
control, involving a vast amount OF
work. On one day 900 tourists arrived
at Victoria Station from Flushing be-
tween 9 a. m. and midnight. or these
400 were advanced money on the plat
form for immediate food, and alto
pether $40 sent to selected lodgings.
The unescorted women and children
alone numbered 232. More than Sl,ooo
was expended in this days work:
Some 10000 tourists have registered
and been indexed with the committee
since the beginning for the Information
of friends, and daily bulletin win
useful information, has been lssueo,
with circulation as high as 10000
comics daily.

Philadelphia, Oct. 10.-The Anthem
rose Republican League Of Pennsyl-

The letter sets forth that the Demo

to elect a candidate in national con-
test in Pennsylvania and argues that a
real fusion by the withdrawal of Mr..
Palmer and the substitution of Mr.. Pin

ARMS SHIPMENTS
Germany's Supporters Point to
Increase in Exports from
u. S. to Allies.

Washington, Dec. Secretary Red
field sent 10 the Senate to-day state
ment showing, so far as he was able,
shipments Of cartridges, powder and
firearms to the belligerent nations Of
Europe and Japan.
The figures do not cover the month
Of November. In October an increase,
probably less marked than has been eX-
pected, is shown in the exports TO
Great Britain and France.
In the report of exports for the fls-
cal years 1913 and 1914 the German
protagonists profess to find evidence in
support of their contention that Rus
STA was making preparations for hos
tilities before war was declared. The
exports to Russia in 1913 were: Car
tribes, S437; firearms, $S,O56.
During the fiscal year ended June 30,
1914, the exports TO Russia were: Car
tridges, s437,504; firearms, S1S0,l2O.
This marked increase took place be-
fore the declaration of war.
From the United States there were
shipped TO France in October, 1914,
S3S3,25O in cartridges and 1892 ,S12 in
firearms. Practically no supplies of
this character were shipped 10 France
before that time. To England were
shipped s700.699 in cartridges, COM
pared with S2li,40l in September and
Sl9,1ll in August.

Miss Garden declared several months

that she would care for the wounded
of that nation until the war was end

promise, she said, and after a visit of
three weeks with her parents in this
country will return to her hospital
