More Starving to
Be Fed Than Thought

LONDON. Nov. 2s.-"The population of
Belgium which must be fed during the
winter will be many thousands more
than seemed likely r very short time ago."
This Is the conclusion reached by n spe-
cial commissioner delegated by the
American Commission for the Relief OF
Belgium to make an investigation.
Speaking OF the Belgian refugees in
the south OF Holland. the Commissioner
said large numbers. most of whom be-
longed TO the agricultural element, had
returned to Belgium or were going to re-
turn, with the result that there would
be an enormous addition to the starving
populace, as II is impossible to get work
At Bergen-op -zoom there are 1900 refu-
gees living in tents. Most OF the tents
shelter two families. With the ground
like quagmire and the cold almost un-
bearable, the refugees sit huddled around
small fire by day and sleep on straw
at night.

Of the people being to fight to the last
man. Tho hope of the French nation
was not for an overwhelming victory. but
merely TO fight for ultimate peace and
the adjustment Of military power.
The coming OF the English strength
ened the opinion that the war would be
