Clarke Enjoyed Gridiron Dinner

E. A. S. Clarke, president of the Lack awanna Steel company, and one of the leading steel men of this country, was very enthusiastic yesterday over the meeting in Birmingham.
 You may be sure We will never forget Birmingham and your kindness to us, " he said '"rhe greatest thing of all was the wonderful tribute that you paid to Judge Gary. 1t was exceedingly touch ing. Judge Gary, I am sure, will not soon forget the affair. As for myself, l have never enjoyed dinner so much as the one last night. The newspaper men are the greatest entertainers in the coun- try any way.
 Birmingham has made great many friends by the reception given us. We

 Tennessee Company Well Liked
 Among industrial men who attended the institute meeting here the most impress sive feature of the meeting, aside from their amazement over the district and it's future. was the good opinion and the support that the local citizens gave the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, owned by the Steel corporation. Many of the members said yesterday that the most beneficial accomplishment of the local officials of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company was their har monious relations with the people of this district.
 Tt is simply marvellous said one of the leaders, "how MT. Crawford, MT. Crockard and MT Rydng and the Ten nessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company organization have II ade friends with this district. There appears to be a genuine love between these young men of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad com pany, and the people of this district. No greater asset could be secured than that l am sure that this friendship, co-opera- tion and team work will eventually be of the greatest value to this district"

Secretary James T. MoCleary of the in stitute left yesterday at noon for his home in New York. Before leaving he was taken for drive over the city by Mrs Oscar Hundley.
 T want to convey through you my thanks for the entertainment given at the Birmingham Newspaper club to Judge Gary, to which you so thoughtfully and kindly asked me- said the suave secre- tary. "1t was exceedingly pleasant. In fact l have never vet attended so de- lightful an affair. It exceeded my fondest expectations. l have been in public life for a great many years in Congress and otherwise. l have been entertained at many banquets. but l assure you in all earnestness and without flattery that the newspaper club dinner to Judge Gary was the climax of my entire experience. :"

May Devise Plans


 K "A plan may be devised whereby such
 Vegians as possess property may give
 obligations to pay when the war ends
 hut even if we could realize on these ob-
 igations we must still have at least s2.-
 6D0,000 monthly in food or money with
 which to pay it. That these figures are no exaggeration is proven by the fact
 that Belgium imports in normal times
 Is on an average of 900 tons of cereals
 monthly. This. together with its own pro-
 duction, which with accumulatons is now exhausted.
 During the past week we have received
 and expended in emergency food $6O0,000
 and yet this is only four days supply.
 The problem Is immediate. The Belgians
 are helping themselves, but they can
 do little The British and French are
 under such strain that they also can do little. Besides these nations, together with the Dutch, have a million refugees on their hands. Americans must feed Belgium this winter. There never was | such a call on American charity and there
 never was a famine emergency so great. Tt is our earnest hope that all funds raised for Belgian relief in the United States will be translated Into actual food "Will you, therefore, in the interests of humanity, open subscription among your readers, ear-marked for the sole purpose of purchasing and transporting food Every dollar so raised will be used to purchase food In the United States"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1914-11-01
Issues Appeal

The American commission for relief in Belgium an official body recognized by the various eovernments. is the only chan mel through which food can be introduced into Belgium. By it's association with a committee in Belgium 1t has an efficient agency for good distribution. H. C. Hoover, chairman of the commission to- day issued this appeal to American news papers:
 We have received reports from mem bers of this commission who were sent into Belgium. They have the assistance of the national commission of relief and it's branches throughout Belgium together with the help of the American ministers and consuls and local officials The re- ports show that there are some 100000 people in Belgium. In many centers the people are receiving an allowance of a little more than three ounces of flour per capita daily.
 This is not a question of charity or relief to the chronically poor-it Is l question of feeding an entire population The situation affects the wealthy ana well-to-do as well the poor. It touches every home in Belgium. Our experts cal culate that to avoid actual starva ton Belgium must have every month a mini mum of 60,000 tons of wheat, 15000 tons of corn. 5000 tons of peas or beans and a limited amount of bacon or lard. All this will cost s4,0o000O or $500O,000 monthly. There is no money in Belgium. The whole credit machinery has ceased. Eighty per cent of the people Are unemployed.
