Provisions Are Distributed
Where Need Is Greatest

Halifax, N. Slow the aid which
Canadians have sent to the starving
Belgians is being applied is described
in a special cable message from the
representative of the Morning Chron-
icle who accompanied the relief steam
er Tremorvah to Rotterdam with sup
plies, the gift of the people Of Quebec,
Ont, and the maritime provinces.
Cabling from Rotterdam, he praises
the work of the American commission
which has the relief work in charge,
and to which the handling of the Ire
morvah's cargo was entrusted.
THE potatoes" says the correspon-
dent, "are being sent to Liege, where
they have none. The flour will be
sent to Limbourg, district of $4,000
people, where they have had no bread
for 40 days. The apples and groceries
will be sent to Brussels, with some Of
the general cargo, from which place
the goods will be delivered to the sur.
rounding districts. The clothing will
be distributed throughout the country.
Captain Lucey, of the American
committee, has shown every courtesy
to us and is giving Mr.. Elderkin, tbs
Nova Scotia commissioner in charge
every opportunity to render the utmosi
aid with Canada's gifts. One thing
must be emphasized: The Germans
are not siezing any of this relief foot
and clothing, but are giving courteous
assistance to the work of relief"
The correspondent emphasizes th'
urgent need of the Belgians, dwells OF
the evidences of intense and wide
spread suffering and forwards an ap
peal of the commission for furthe
Canadian aid.

PEACE SUGGESTED
Appeal Of Welfare Union Read in
Holland and Not Censored.
Belgium To Be Held at Any Cost
Until Negotiations Begin
InUasi0n Dreaded.

The Hague, Holland-Although the
German press asserts that Germany
can bring 100000 reservists into the
field without making use of men under
IS and over AZ years old, there are
several indications that German Off
cials desire peace.
Semi-official attempts are being
made to negotiate first with one and
then with the other Of the allied
forces. The German sections of the
peace societies are sending circulars to
their representatives in Holland and
other neutral states to initiate a peace
movement.
The international Wohlfahrt Verein
(Welfare Union) of Berlin, has made
direct appeal to influential Dutch
newspapers by means Of printed cir
cular inclosed in an open envelope, ex-
pressing the wish that all neutral
countries and lovers of peace work To-
gether and prepare the way for media
ton overtures to be made by some
neutral power, as. for instance, the
United States.
1t is considered remarkable that the
circular should have reached its des-
tination. If its contents had been dis
pleasing to the German censor it new
er would have passed the frontier.
In military and governmental circles
in Holland it is considered likely that
Germany itself soon will open peace
negotiations. The government, it is
said, sees itself menaced by invasion,
and should the enemy march into Ger
many, the people would feel that they
have been misled by the government
as to the trend of the war. 1t also
would impair the authority of the CEN
trail government and the cohesion of
the states of the empire.
Germany, public men at The Hague
believe, will try to hold Belgium at all
costs until peace negotiations are
opened, since it desires to use Belgium
as pawn for obtaining favorable con.
ditions from the allies. A strong sec
ond line of defense has been prepared
in Belgium. Roughly, it runs from
Antwerp to Mons. A third line IL
being prepared along the Mouse river

Turk Voluntarily Explains
Firing OFT U. S. Launch

Washington, d. C.-Turkey has vol
UNFAIRLY explained to the United States
government through Ambassador Nor
genthau that the shots fired toward the
launch of the American cruiser last
Monday were intended merely as the
customary warning that the port of
Smyrna was mined and closed to navi-
cation.
Although the explanation was in
formal and the United States govern
ment still is awaiting a reply to for
NAL representations which Ambassa-
dor Morgenthau was instructed to
make to the Turkish foreign Office. it
was generally admitted at the White
House, State and Navy departments
that all danger of serious complied
lions over the incident had been re-
moved.
Ambassador Morgenthau reported
that two members of the Ottoman cab
met, the ministers of the interior anc
war, had fully explained the occurrence
to him and high officials here said his
message was filed before the instruc
lions sent from Washington to discuss
the subject officially with the granC
vizer could have been received by Mr.
Morgenthau.
The following summary of the dis
patch received from Ambassador Nor
genthau at Constantinople was givel
out at the White House:
dispatches concerning the Smyrn'
incident have just been received from
Ambassador Morgenthau, which wer'
sent before he had received any com
munication from the State department
He informs the government that o.
the evening of the day on which tn
incident occurred monday last), tn
Ottoman minister of the interior in
formed him that the commander of tn
Tennessee had attempted to visi
Smyrna in his steam launch, passin
through the mined zone, contrary t
the Turkish governments regulations
and that the boat had been stopped b
