Secretary Bryan announced today
after q conference with Count Won
Barnstorf, the German ambassador.
that there had been no change In the
plan originally approved by the Ger
man government for the ~transporta-
ton Of relief supplies to Belgium.
The Belgian minister, Mr.. Haven
it'll. is in New York arranging for the
sailing Of five supply ships being out
fitted for Belgium by the various re-
lief committees in this country. Eff
forts now are being made, with sue
cess, to get contributions in the form
Of supplies. and work is under way
in Minneapolis to provide an entire
cargo OF flour from that city,
There seems to be no disposition in
official circles here to object to the
demand Of German military authori-
ties in Belgium that inhabitants seek
ing relief go to work If able to do so.
The subject of enforced labor in.
Belgium was discussed by officials
here with the managers of the Rookie
Teller Foundation relief expedition,
and one plan contemplated selection
Of agents in each district to Indicate
h places where charity was really
necessary and to get into touch with
those who fed to Holland, France, or
England, and induce them to return to
work. The foundation is to supply
such refugees with provisions and
clothing, farm and shop tools, horses
and other livestock, but all condition
al upon again their becoming produ-
