Petitions to the Almighty to
Put an End to War
of the Nations.

@RESIDENT WILSON having Is
sued a proclamation appointing
Sunday, Oct. 4. as a day OF
prayer and requested "all God
fearing persons" to unite at their re-
spective places of worship in supplica-
ton to Almighty God to restore con-

the purposes named by the president
Among the prayers for peace suggest
ed for the day is this one by Bishop
David II. Greer of New York:
o God. who hast made of one blood all
nations of men to dwell on all the face OF
the EARTH and who in thy holy word hast
taught us that One Is our Father, even
God, and that all we are brethren. we
pray thee in this dark hour Of information
al strife that thou wilt open the eyes OF
the people and those who in thy name are
intrusted with the authority Of governance
to see and understand their right and true
relation to thee and through thee to one
another. Teach them by thy spirit that
hatred and violence are not strength, but
weakness: that the true safeguarding OF
a nation Is not to be found In weapons OF
war; but in those eternal principles which
make for righteousness and truth and
brotherhood and peace. Give to those who
shall suffer In the war which is raging
now the consultations Of thy grace. Heal
the sick, comfort the wounded. minister
to the dying and bind up the broken
heart. Bring. We pray thee, to speedy
end this international strife and hasten
the time when peace shall flourish out of
the earth and all shall dwell together in
unity and love and war shall be no more.
We ask 1t in the name Of our Saviour.
Jesus Christ. Amen!

BELGIUM SITUATION
IS GROWING WORSE
Starving Population EX-
pected To Be Largely
Increased.

London. Nov. 27.-"The population Of
Belgium requiring feeding during the
winter will probably be many thou
sands more than seemed likely a very
short time ago" This is the conclusion
reached by special commissioner who
was delegated by the American Com
mission for the Relief of Belgium 20
make an investigation. The commits
sioner sent q telegraph'c report from
Rotterdam to-day TO Herbert Clark
Hoover. chairman Of the American com
mission.
Speaking Of the Belgian refugees in
the south of Holland, the commissioner
said he found that large numbers. most
Of whom belonged TO the agricultural
element. had returned to Belgium or
were going TO return, with the result
that there would be an enormous addl-
tion 20 the starving populace. as IT was
impossible TO get work. AZ BcrCcn-op
Xoc there are 5000 refugees living iu
tents. Most of the tents shelter two
families. With the ground like quag-
mire and the cold almost unbearablc.
the refugees sit huddlcd around a small
fire by day and sleep on straw at night

Some recent arrivals from Antwerp
admitted that the Germans were ready
and anxious 20 give them work, but
added:
They pay US with pieces Of paper
telling US that some day il will be good
money. but 1t won't buy food" Refu-
gees from small villages which the
commission has not yet been able to
relieve said that the places had been
entirely cleared Of rood by the Ger
mans, who had also requisitioned all
the cattle, so that positive starvation
faced the people remaining.

Brazil Asks Concerted Action to
Restore Trade Between North
and South America.

Washington, Nov. 27.-The United
States is not yet ready, according to an
announcement to-day by Secretary
Bryan, to express an opinion on the re-
quest Of several South American ma
tlons for the cooperation Of the Wash
ington government in negotiations with
the European belligerents looking to
the exclusion of their warships from
the waters of this hemisphere. Mr..
Bryan said, however, he would take the
subject up with President Wilson on
his return.
The Peruvian Minister communicated
TO Mr.. Bryan in detail to-day the pro-
posal of his government for the estab-
iishment of a neutral zone in the At
lantlc and Pacific oceans. In effect it
would extend the territorial waters of
neutral countries from the present
limit of three miles to a designated
meridian within which merchantmen Of
all nations would be free from molests =
tion.
AmbasSado da Cana, of Brazil, took
up with Mr.. Bryan in another confer
ence the general subject of concerted
action on the part Of he Pan-America1
republics 20 effect restoration Of
trade between the two continents. He
had been instructed 10 sound the
American government as to its attitude
toward the various suggestions ad-
vanced. but Mr.. Bryan informed him
that the United States had not deter
mined upon its course.
The Brazilian government has ad-
vanced no proposal, but has been anXi-
GUS TO ascertain the attitude of the
American government toward sugges-
tions of this kind before making formal
ones.
Beyond admitting that the various
suggestions were under careful con-
Secretary Bryan declined 70
discuss the position Of the United
States. To one diplomat, however, he
pointed out the desire Of the govern

meet with disfaVor by any OF the prin-
cipal bclligeIcnts and might impair the
influence of this government when the
time for the settlement Of the war ar
rived

exchanged views on the different pro-
posals which have been brought for
ward. the European diplomats said to-
day they were uniformed as to the at

ages in Fireworks Explosion.

Under a decision by the Appellate
Division yesterday, William R. Hearst
will probably have to repay the city
about 100000 in damages after the
fireworks explosion in 1902 in Madison
Square, when the National Association
Of Democratic Clubs was celebrating
Hearst's election to Congress.
Hearst was sued for damages as an
individual and as president OF the as
sociaton. His defence was that the
exhibition was held on a permit given
b. the city. and he had no response
biiity.
Mrs. Margaret v Shea, whose hus-
band. Denis Shea. was killed, recoy
eied S24,543 against the city. The
city used this suit as a test case IN
suing Hearst. and the supreme Court
decided against him, whereupon he
appealed. ..
This appeal the Appellate Division
has now dismissed.
