eminent are divided between the ho-

department store over on the Havre
side. The higher government officials
have taken houses near by. while the
minor officials. stay in the city hotels.
Relief headquarters are maintained
for the Belgian refugees in the city
hall OF Havre. There bread tickets
and old clothes are distributed and
work is found for those able TO work.
