climates that Including those who sailed

day.
The total number OF Americans who
have received financial assistance from

thousand refugees have arrived from tho
Continent during the week. most OF whom
are destitute or practically so. The com.
mfttee has expended considerably over
100000 on the relief work 10 far. Mr..
Hoover said to-day:
This Is the hardes, week since the
work OF the committee began. 1t has been
impossible TO provide all applicants with
steamship accommodations. Many must
wait until next week and there Is no
chance for better than steerage accom-
modations.
"Of 1000 applicants for assistance half
needed not only money but clothes, and
we have succee eded in attending to all an
plications, but the committee and sub
committee have had TO work all day and
some nights to do H. During the last
week many people who came In were
American citizens but spoke no English,
and We had TO run bureau of interpret
ers to find out what was required"
