BELGIANS' PLIGHT
REALLY PITIABLE
appealing for Help-Starving People
Look to Western hemisphere
for Food Supp. Is.

Halifax, y. S., Nov. 30-A Morning
Chronicle special staff correspondent
who went to Europe to investig gate
conditions in tie war zone cabling
from Rotterdam depicts pitiable con-
Gitions among the homeless Belglans.
Despite efforts Of the American COM
missions for relief IN Belgian to feed
re ugees, the correspondent says the
food supply for immediate needs has
been exhausted and non-combatants
are asking aid from Canada. The dis
patch in part follows:
"'Win Canada telp?' TGis is the
pathetic cry which meets me every
where, as I have gone up and down
the lines c. tie starving and homeless
Belgians.
THE American commission as eX-
hausted the immediate sources of
food supplies. They can not obtain
food in Holland or in England for
immediate needs. Another flight Of
Belgians toward Holland has begun;
the panic stricken people are stream
ing across the frontier into the bor-
der towns, which already are overrun
with wandering refugees. The sltua-
ton has become so acute the Amer-
can commission has asked the British
governent to sell to it the Canadian
gift of flour now in england and I'M
mediately available or distribution
among the starving Belgians.
"The British people, driven to des-
peration, are arming themselves with
any weapons upon which they can
lay hands. TIE danger is that they
may precipitate a riot and that will
bring on them military reprlsals. ;.

Russian emperor, on the other. These
two monarchs left for tie front today

The king OF England is in France;

vile President Poincare, Of France,
started today for another visit to the
northern battlefield.
Official news from Po,and continues
scanty, and, with both headquarters
claiming successes, it is impossible to
say now the battle is going. Of its IN
tensity, however, there can be no
doubt.
The Germans, when they started for
Warsaw, dashed full tilt into mass
of Russian troops and forced their way

Russian Line Broken.

1t appears, @owever, that, fighting
fer their very lives and in the knowl-
edge that great defeat would end
the German offensive and compel them
to all back On their own frontiers, tie
German troops broke through the
Russian lines at one place and at an
other are holding their entrenchments
against all the Russian attacks. Their
flanks still are being narassed by the
Cossacks, but seemingly the Russians
are not now in position to gain the
sweeping victory they had anticipated.
The losses, with tie desperate fight
ing that has been going on for fort
night, must necessarily be very heavy
on both sides.
Against the Austro-German forces
in the south the Russians continue to
gain more decisive results. They now
hold all Austrian positions protecting
tie Carpatbian passes and are said to
have arrived abreast Of lCracow, while
their captures for tree weeks number
$4,000 men.
Lively CannOnude.
In the west, although the German
official report says there is nothing
to communicate, the French official
statement notes lively cannonade in
Belgium and German activity north of
Arras. This may mean the Germans
have commenced, or are about to COM
ence, another attempt to get trough
to the French ports. Certainly there
are important changes in the DISPOSE
tons of the German troops.
Military men here disagree some be-
lieying the Germans will rest content
with holding their positions until the
close Of the battle in Poland, where
they need all tie men they can get,
w:lite others lock for an immediate re-
sumption of tie battle in Northern
France and Flanders.
The Germans, too, according to
Dutch reports, are strongly fortlfylng
Zeebrugge and other Belgian ports
against renewal o. attacks by the
allied fleet. Fighting around Ypres
was due to the allies pushing their

Petrograd, Oct. 9.-The following of
fetal statement has been given out by
the general staff:
On Oct. 8 our troops on the East
Prussian border continued to press
the enemy, who had formed two fight
ing groups.
"The first group was operating IN
the region of Vladislavnff and Wri-
ballen (both towns in the government
of Suwalki, Russian Poland.) Our
troops dislodged them from Vladisla-
voff and surrounded them on the
north. On October s, however, this
group still maintained its position east
by south of Wirballen. All it's at
tempts to take the offensive at that
point failed, the enemy sustaining
heavy losses.

very strong one, commenced an ener-

The German advance through the
gap which they had opened in the
southeastern section of the outer line
of forts has been likened tn 4 prairie
