BOARD UNWILLING TO
APPOINT COMMITTEE
Commissioners Cannot Accede
to Request Made by Belgian
Relief Workers Here.

After giving careful consideration to
the request that they appoint a COM
mittee to take charge Of the Belgian
relief work in the District, the Com
missioners today informed Mrs. John
A. Logan, chairman OF Washington S
Belgian relief comnittee. that they
cannot accede to it at the present time.
Following Is the boards letter, signed
by Commissioner Newman:
The Commissioners have given very
careful consideration to the suggestion
that they appoint committee Of citi-
zens to cooperate with the District OF
Columbia committee Of the central COM
mittee Of the Belgian relief fund. and
they beg to express their sympathy
With the humanitarian purposes Of
those now engaged in promoting the
fund; but after a careful review Of
their assurances that sound reasons
exist why, at the present time, at least.
the Commissioners should not take the
action desired.
The connection of our ambassador
to England and of our minister to Bel
gium with the relief work in question
is, il is believed, confined TO diplomatic
guidance only, cooperating in doing
this with the Spanish ambassador to
England and the Spanish minister to
Belgium

point such committee was made yes

Washington Belgian relief committee,
by Mrs. John A. Logan, DR.. John c.

request was made previously by Arthur

day of the Commissioners action.

What War MOUeS Mean
By ]. w. T. MASON.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1s.-Although
the German naval victory off the
Chilean coast was on the 1st Of No
vember, the story Of England's de-
feat has only now reached London,
in the official report Of the captain
of the Glasgow. 1t is sorry reading
for Englishmen. meaning. as it does,
that the British commander under
estimated the enemy and allowed
himself to be outmaneuvered.
Following 50 closely upon the de-
tailed description of the Audacious'
destruction, the Glasgow's report un-
doubtedly would cause far greater
uneasiness If the British censor were
to allow Englishmen to know about
the loss of their superdreadnought
Naval blundering such as has been
thought impossible among the highly
trained superior officers of the Brit
ish fleets is inevitably suggested by
the disaster off the Chilean coast.

The mystery of the British battle
ship Canopus is cleared up by in
ference In the Glasgow report. 1t is
there stated that Admiral Cradock
signaled the Canopus: Il am going
to attack the enemy
This signal must have been sent
by wireless. The meaning appar-
emily Is that the Canopus. attached
to Admiral Cradock's squadron. to
give him an offensive superiority
over the enemy, was some distance
away from the main squadron
either delayed by the h.AA seas or
scouting for the enemy's ships in
another direction. Instead of de-
laying battle for the Canopus, with
her 12-inch guns to come up. the di-
vided British fleet gave immediate
fight.
The question arises whether the
Germans would have waited for the
arrival of the Canopus, whose speed
was several knots less than any of
the German units. Wouldn't Admi-
raj Won Spec have got his squadron
away without difficulty?
