London - An American commission
headed by Herbert G. Hoover, Of Cali
fornia, will feed 100000 Belgisns
who are on the verge Of starvation a.
result Of the war In Europe.
An agreement to this effect has just
been reached after weeks of diplo-
matte negotiations in which Walter
Hines Page. the American Ambassa-
dor, acted ~ intermediary between
Belgium, England and Germany. Mr..
Hoover has been acting as chairman OF
the American relief committee in
London. More than 81, ESQ. 900 will
be placed At his disposal for the relief
OF the stricken nation.
Early In the negotiations regarding
means to relieve these people Germany
declared her willingness to assist, but
she declined to give the guarantees re-
uuested by the British foreign offics
until the latter lifted the embargo or
foodstuffs.
The situation was becoming des
perate when Ambassador Page pro
posed that Mr.. Hoover undertake thu
work. Germany Immediately sccedes
to this plan. saying that they woul'
extend every possible aid to such
commission, and England as promptl,
removed the restrictions on food ex
) ports.
MIR. Hoover already has bought wit
: the funds supplied by the Belgian re
lief committee $3.50, 900 worth of food
J which win be sent to Belgium
The food situation in Belgium is be
! coming absolutely critical. Alread
> more than 500. 900 persons are bein
assisted by means of bread lines, a.
cording to the committees reports
there being upward Of 800, 900 of thes
persons In Brussels alone. The suppl
of food for the bread stations. 1t
: estimated, will not last more than
week longer. 1t 10 expected that II
r number Of persons requiring relief wi
i increase to 1000, 900 within mont
: A stream of specially charters
l. steamships will soon start for Hollar
with their cargoes consigned to office
of the commission at various places
Belgium. These officers win be und
4 direct control of the commission.
W Speaking Of the work of the cor
/ mission, Mr.. Hoover said;
y 1.-The chief supplies required will
~ wheat, rice, beans and peas The cor
I'd mission expects to conduct innums
able soup kitchens.
d, Beans and peas are especial
sn needed. We have been unable to ps
re chase more than 200 tons of the
A cereals in the London markets and '
to urgently need 5000 tons. We can .
ct range for the handling Of any amou

by the Dutch and Germans. Al

1.-The commission hopes that the
uation may be brought urgently bef'

IN to q lberty-loving people may take
practical form of food supplies .
w. that the American organization,
ns ready soliciting for the Belgians.
ny cooperate with the commission.
