which bombarded the German flank as
they advanced along the coast, seems
to have withdrawn. The Germans say
this was because their artillery was
, beginning to reach the ships. The be-
lief is expressed here, however, that
the fleet will be able to make unten-
Uble German occupation of any part
of the Belgian or French coasts.
The opinion also is expressed here
that the operations of the allied yes.
sells in the North sea off the Belgian
coast and in the vicinity of the Straits
of Dover may cause the German fleet
to come out and give battle.
! In naval circles here it is consid-
cred that the German submarines, al
though they have proved deadly to
ships steamng slowly, will not be so
maaeuvering at high speed and in
shallow waters, as the British mont
tors and their auXiliaries have been
doing.
British Sailors Confident.
There is some talk of the Germans
bringing their big 42-centimeter guns
to the coast to use against the allies
warships, but the British sailors are
credited with saying that their YES
sells can prevent these guns being
put in position. They say that even
If they should be mounted they will
not be so deadly against fast NOV
ing target as they were against the
stationary forts which they destroyed
so easily.
The battle for the Straits of Dover,
enc of the most sanguinary of the
war, is continuing with undated fury.
The Germans, who at terrible cost in
life, succeeded Saturday in crossing
the User canal between Newport and
Dixmude, have not been able to make
any further progress. The allies, ac-
cording to report of the general
Headquarters, obstinately are defend
ing their positions.
It is the same further south, around
Armentieres, Lille, La Bassee and Ar

Towns and Villages in Ruins.
In the towns and villages with
which the country is dotted, and most
of which have been laid in ruins by
the artillery, most desperate fighting
has occurred where the cavalry and
infantry came into contact. Both sides
speak of the heavy losses they have
imposed on their adversaries, but say
nothing of their own dead or wound

forcements are being brought for

ARE FACING
STARVATION
Be|gians in Urgent
Need Of Food.
SUPPLY RUNNING Low
Seven Million People Unable to
Secure Necessities.

Brussels, Oct. 27.-Seven million
people in Belgium face famine, unless
they receive help from the outside at
cnce.
The American minister to Belgium,
Brand Whitlock, says that less than
two weeks supply of food remains in
the cities, while conditions in the
country districts are even worse.
Though Germany has seized the food
in some cities for her soldiers she still
disclaims responsibility for feeding
the Belgians.
Mr.. Whitlock has on hand only peas.
ants black bread for two weeks and
the supply of that is short. One hun
dred soup kitchens are feeding more
than 100000 of the needy in Brussels.
Persons formerly rich are discharg-
ing their servants because they are
bankrupt.
Noblemen may be seen slipping into
the soup kitchens.
The factories are closed. Many
stores remain open, but have no bust
ness. The street cars are being oper-
ated, but the railway train service has
been suspended. The supplies of COT
fee, tea. -four, rye and salt are prac-
tically exhausted.
Peasants in Sad Plight.
Reports received by Minister Whit
Mo- o,ir
say that the conditions in those cities
are even worse than they are in Brus-
sells. Louvain has only short four
days supply Of flour, while Liege has
no -four at all. The peasants in many
districts have been forced to exist on
legumes, as the crops of beets and
cabbages have been ruined.
The meat and milk supplies also
have been cut off, the army having
taken the cattle. 1t is declared abso-
lutely essential that food be obtained
from England.
Nearly half of those people who
have been able to remain in Belgium
are wandering helplessly from town
to town, seeking shelter from friends
and relatives. Malines, which former.
ly had $4,000 inhabitants, has few un-
damaged houses standing. The same
situation exists at Namur and Lou
vain.
The road from Antwerp to Brussels
is black with professions of people
moving in both directions. Wagons
and carts are filled with the wreckage
of their household effects. Thousands
On foot are carrying bundles or push
ing dog carts, always moving but
with no definite destination.

Philadelphia, Nov. IL. - The food
ship Thelma, bearing 1900 tons of

zens were on the wharf and a great
throng of people watched the Norwe-
gian ship as she steamed down the
Delaware river on her errand of
mercy. A band played THE Star
Spangler Banner and La Brabani-
onne," the national anthem of Bel
GUM.
The sending of the food was made
possible by the generosity of the peo-
pie of Philadelphia and Harrisburg

State. John Wanamaker paid the ex-
penses of the ship and contributions
ranging from one cent to thousand
dollars bought the cargo.

SEGREGATION S TIRS FOLKS
BY Associated Press

Washington, Nov ~. - President
Wilson to-day. while receiving dele
cation of negroes who came to the
White House to protest against segre-
eating the races in Government de-
partments, objected to the tone adopted
by their spokesman, w. NJ. Trotter, of
Boston, and told the committee that If
it called on him again 1t would have
to get a new chairman. The President
added he had not been addressed in such
manner since he entered the White
House.
The delegation charged that Secre-
tary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams
in the Treasury. and Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson had enforced segregation
rules in their offices. President Wilson
replied he had investigated the ques-
tion and had been assured there had
been no disintegration in the comforts
and surroundings given to the negroes.
He added he had been informed-by Of
ficials that the segregation had been
started to avoid friction between the
races and not with the object of ipjur-
ing the negroes. The President said
he was deeply interested in the negro
race and greatly admired its progress.
He declared the thing to be sought by
the negro people was complete indepen-
dence of white people, and that he felt
the white race was willing to do every

Issues Taken Up
Trotter and other members at once
took issue with the President, declar-
ing the negro people did not seek char
ity or assistance but that they took
the position that the negroes had equal
rights with whites and that those
rights should be respected. They de-
MED there had been any friction be-
tween the two races before segrega-
tion was begun.
President Wilson listened to what
they had to say and then told the dele
cation that Trotter was losing control
of his temper and that he (the Presi-
denD would not discuss the matter with
him.
After leaving the Presidents private
office, Trotter, Maurice V. Spencer and
others of the delegation declared their
talk had been thoroughly disappoint-
ing" They declared they would hold a
mass meeting in Washington, Sunday,
to discuss the question.
Mr. Wilson is understood to have
told the committee the question was not
political one and he would not take
it up on political grounds.
The delegation presented a resolu-
tion of the Massachusetts Legislature
and letters from several Massachusetts
Democratic members of Congress pro-
testing against race segregation in the

such return in time renders the per-
