raised grave problem, according to
R. C. Hawkin, who has just returned
from Belgium, where he completed ar
rangement to transfer a number of
wounded Belgian soldiers to England.
"The situation in Brussels is one of
great uncertainty" he said. "There is
the gravest danger of starvation. Food
is scarce; 100000 people are applying
for rations which the German admin
istration is finding it difficult to sup.
ply. There is further danger that the
workingmen Of the city may rise in a
revolt"
Mr.. Hawkin was greatly impressed
by the spirit of the Belgian troops at
Antwerp, and said that every night a
sortie was made, the morning bringing
its quota Of dead and wounded, some
times numbering thousand, making a
heavy drain on the garrison; but the
usefulness Of these expeditions, he
said, cannot be exaggerated.

GoDCHAux HAS BIG PLANS
Will Lead Fight to Make Sugar Pro.
duction Pay in Louisiana.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New Orleans.-Charles Godchaux,
who resigned the presidency of the
Whitney-C Central banks to take up the
fight to make sugar. production pay
in this state, has announced that he
has plans for the organization of a
large company among the sugar peo-
pie, the objects of which will be to co.
operate in the selling of sugar and en-.
able the sugar people to hold their
sugar and sell it to the best advan'
tage, instead Of putting it all on the
market in about a month.
Mr.. Godchaux said that the sugar
situation was demoralized and the
planters were alarmed and discourag-
ed, and he believed that some steps
ought to be taken to encourage them
and to devise plans to develop the
planting. and handling of the crops on
the most economic basis. He gave
up his brilliant banking situation TO 40
this, and hopes to be able to lead the
sugar people into success. The com.
pany will, besides helping to market
sugar profitably, encourage the pro.
duction of other crops and stock and
aim to help the planters generally.
MI. Godchaux said that the plan SC
far was tentative and no definite OF
g%anization had been arranged, but he
hoped to be able to develop a strong
working organization. The plan. viii
include canning. factories and all agen
cies that will enable the planters t.
handle and sell their crops.
1t is expected that every sugar plant
er in the state will participate in the
organization.

Mr.. Blum has written all city passen.
ger agents requesting their permits.
sion to institute an exhibit Of agrfcul-
tural products at every passenger sta.

Mr.. Blum has likewise requested the

to Offer" Mr.. Blum said. I'VE have
many exhibits, it is true, stationed

proposition is to show the incoming

tnat are grown IN Our state without
having him leave his depot.

the greatest disseminators Of news in
the world. Get them impregnated with
just a small amount Of enthusiasm
that we justly feel over our resources
and surprising results will follow"
