OF ASSISTANCE GIVEN BY COM.
 MITTEEIN LONDON
ALL ARE TREATED ALIKE
Some of the Benefieiaries Threaten to Have Work of Committee Adversely Criticized by New York Papers Women Show Least Gratitude.

London, Sept. IA. 7.5o p. m.-Two young American women who arrived from Berlin Saturday night were giv- en the address of an inexpensive hotel by the American relief committee In stead of going there they put up at a luxurious hotel and today, according to the committee. appeared at the re- ner headquarters and presented hotel bill for $50. requesting that it be paid on their behalf. They also asked to be provided with first class passage on a steamer to New York as they swore that they were penniless.
 The committee felt compelled. to pay the hotel bill, but allowed them only $I75 each daily for living expenses until Saturday. when they will pro- ceed to New York as second class passengers. This privilege was grant ed because the young women declared that they were in frail health
 This and similar cases has caused Herbert c. Hoover. chairman of the American committee, to use the fol- lowing statement:
 Statement by Committee. "The American press may be inter- ested to know that they may expect a large number of interviews denounc- Ing this committee upon the arrival of steamers at New York. The commit tee has made 1t an infiexibIe rule that people appealing to them for relief and claiming to be entirely without resources should be sent to the United States in the third class unless the circumstances are such as illness or the having of children with them jus tified the expenditure for additional accommodations.
 Treat All Alike.
 "A large number of Americans are now arriving from the continent con- vlnced that though they may be with out means themselves, they have only to apply to the committee to receive first class passage to New York. When informed of the committees infexible rule which Is applied to all Americans impartially no matter what may bt usually tell the committee that they will see to it immediately they arrive in New York. that the committee get: blown up in the New York papers.
 Any American who wishes better accommodation than the third clas. provides may cable through tha< com mittee to his American friends fol money and if they advance it,. car travel on any scale he pleases, bu when they refuse to cable or declar, they are without means of their own under the committees inflexible rule subject only to suchg exceptions as have stated. they will be given only third class fares.
 Threaten Denunciation.
 ''No less than thirteen different per. sons today threatened us with denun. citation and exposure immediately upor their arrival in New York. One O. them. woman. was especially violen because we refused to stand for hel bills at the Savoy hotel, a member O. the committee having asked her tt move to moderate priced pension.

ALLIES IN CLOSE PURSUIT
 OF FLEEING INVADERS German Withdrawing Movement Being Carried on With Rapidity.

Paris, Sept If. 5:11 D. m.-Unrelent- ing pursuit of the frapidily retreating German armies by the. British and French forces continued today with extraordinary vigor. according to the French view. -
 Despite the great numbers compos- ing their various armies which operat- ed together against the allies, the Ger man withdrawing movement is being carried out with great rapidity and cleverness. The main body appears to bel approaching the Belgian frontier, while the German left wing seemingly is gaining shelter in German Lorraine. Fleeing Invaders Abandon Everything So far as known. the. fleeing invad- CTS who. after wonderful forced maFch- es into France, made such a stern at tempt to break through the solid lines of the allies defending Paris. have abandoned more than sixty cannon of various calibre and thirty machine guns because their exhausted horses were unable to drag them fast enough to keep up even with the foot-weary infantry. Enormous amounts of am munitions and stores also were 1ctt on the route of the Germans which is through a difficult marshy country, rendered almost impossible in some places by tine heavy rains of the pnst few days and which threaten to con- tinue.
 Allies Show No Fatigue.
 The allies on the other hand, it is asserted, display no signs of fatigue. They ore represented as stirre dby un- expectedly great victories to such a state of eretion that they are able to keep close on the heels of the retiring enemy whom they harass day and night cutting off detachraents and at tempting to place forces between the retiring armies and the comparative safety of the ffontler.
