PEhBINA COUNTY TO Dig
MORE DRAINAGE bitches

Bismarck, N. D., Aug. 12.-PIans
and specifications have been COM
pleted and sent out by the state en-
gineer for the construction of two
drainag bitches in Pembina county.
Surveys were made recently, and it is
the Intention of the Pembina county
drainage board to let the CONTRACT as
soon as possible in order that the
drains may be completed this fall.
One drain is 5.13 miles in length
and will benefit approximately S,400
acres of land; the other is $3.50 miles
in length and it is expected ahtt its
cost will be assessed against about.
Il, 900 acres of land. 1t is estimated
that $1,000 cubic yards of earth will
be ~excavated in the construction Of
the shorter drain, while S0,713 cubic
yards will have to be moved to COM
plete the longr.
A third ditch a little owe five miles
in length was surveyed. but it is not
expected that this will be construct
ed. If it should be one of the others
will be abandoned. This ditch con-
Etains $4,000 cubic yards of excava-
ton and will probably benefit about
II, 900 acres of land.

thing I wish to make clear with en-

Doubts Advanced
when we were asked to undertake
this work the first question which arose
in our minds was, why don't the Ger
mans provision the people of Belgium?
We were told that under international
law it was the duty of an occupying
army to feed the civil population. We
were told further by certain Independent
elements in England that in importing
foodstuffs into Belgium we were reliev-
ing the Germans of their moral and le-
gal duties, that we were performing I'M
necessary labor and that above all we
were in effect supplying England's enc
my with foodstuffs, by thus relaxing the
demands which otherwise would have
fallen upon the stores of the Germans
Furthermore we were told that it would
be necessary for the occupying army to
increase its force in order to put down
violence on the part of starving pop
ulation and that therefore Germany's
forces would be occupied otherwise than
on the firing line
''Thtse are largely the views of the
British soldier. The German soldier on
the other hand states that the Belgians
hitherto have imported two-thirds of
their food supply, that the civil popula-

CHAIRMAN HOOVER OF BEL Clan
RELIEF COMMISSION SpEAKERAT
ENTERTAINMENT Given IN LONDON

London, Dec. 1S.-610 p. M.-The
members of the American Commission
for Relief IN Belgium were entertained
today by American business men at
the Luncheon Club. In introducing
Herbert C. Hoover. the chairman, Am
bassador Page gave high praise to the
work of the commission.
He said it was the only existing link
between the great belligerent nations
and the farmers of the Mississippi val
ley.
Plan Of Operation
Mr.. Hoover spoke of the organization
and work of the commission and the
plight of the Belgian people which
called it into being. He said that close
harmony existed between the commits
sion and the national committee in
Belgium. Mr. Hoover described the
financial plan mapped out by the COM
mission, under which every cent COL
lected in America is expended for the
actual purchase of food without any
deductions for the cost of delivery and
distribution. The result is that there
has already been provided food of an
aggregate value Of between $7,000O0o
and $10000,000.
The response Of the American peo-
pie to the appeals in behalf of the Bel
gians was even greater than their
contributions for the sufferers from
the San Francisco earthquake. Mr..
Hoover continued. The commission
now has on the way or under charter
80 ships, which will provide ali ade-
quate supply of food until Feb. IL. The
appeal to governors Of various states
and such institutions as the Rockefel-
Ter Foundation had met with most
generous response.
Il wish to say few words upon the
Diplomatic situation In connection with
