Munsterberg were disregarded. His
objection to the head of the univer-

based on the latter's pro-German ut

Consignment of Food Ready.

Formal organization of the commits
sion will not be completed until meet
ing is held, but Mr. Hoover already has
purchased with the funds supplied by
the Belgian relief committee s15O,0O0
worth of food, which will be sent 10
Belgium Saturday on specially char
tered ship by way of Rotterdam.
The food situation in Belgium is be-
coming absolutely critical. Already
more than $780, 900 persons are being as
sisted by means of bread lines, accord
ing to the committees reports, there
being more than 100000 of these per-
SINS in Brussels alone. The supply OF
food for these bread stations, 1t is esti-
mated. will not last more than a week
longer 1t is expected that the number
of persons requiring relief will in
crease to a million within month.
A stream of specially chartered steam
ships will soon start for Holland with
their cargoes consigned to officers of
Belgium These officers will be under
direct control of the commission, and
will be located in London, Rotterdam.
Antwerp, Brussels. Client, Liege and
other points. When necessary the COM
mission will cooperate with the Bel
gian national relief committee which
has headquarters in Brussels. To insure
effective working of this cooperation
the members of the American commits
sion in Belgium will be made members
of the Belgian commission.
Care will be taken to see that this
cooperation does not affect the neu-
trality of the commission. which is to
work under the approval of both the
English and German governments.

Hope of Aid From United States.

1.-The commission hopes that the sit

the American people, that this charity
to liberty-loving people may take the
practical form of food supplies. and
that the American organization already
soliciting help for the Belgians will
cooperate with the commission in the
application of their resources"
The commission is constituted as fol-
lows: Walter Hines Page, the Ameri-
can ambassador; Brand Whitlock.
American minister to Belgium, and
Henry Van Dyke, American minister to
the Netherlands, honorary chairmen;
Herbert C. Hoover, chairman; William
Heinman, Brussels, vice chairman and
Willard Shaler, Brussels, secretary.
The members of the commission are
John White, Clarence Graft, M1llard
Hunsiker, Edgar Richard and T. F.

don; Hugh Gibson, secretary OF the
American legation at Brussels; p. A

Over a Million Dollars in Hand.

Half a million dollars were placed at
the disposal of Mr.. Hoover yesterday
from the various Belgian funds. and
through Ambassador Page $4,000 more
will be turned over to the commission.
Speaking of the work of the commits
sion, Mr.. Hoover said:
I'VE are advised by Brand Whitlock,
American minister to Belgium, that the
position of Belgium with regard to the
food supply is becoming absolutely
critical, inasmuch as there are 100000
people in Belgium and the country i'm
ports 60 per cent Of its food. Imports
have entirely ceased, and as the country
has been denuded of its accumulated
crops virtually the whole population is
faced with famine. The problem there
fore is infinitely greater than the care
of the refugees who have left Belgium.
'The restrictions put upon imports
into the Netherlands by England have
made it virtually impossible for the
Belgians to procure supplies of food
stuffs from neutral countries and the
creation of machinery which can Sc
cure such imports to their country has
become a vital necessity.
Baron Lambert and Emil Tranquil
of the Belgian relief committee are in
London s1 o With thu us and they
foodstuffs will be required monthly
during the coming winter to feed the
Belgians.
"The chief supplies required will be
wheat, rice, beans and peas. The COM
mission expects to conduct innumer-
able soup kitchens.

ed We have been unable to purchase
more than two hundred tons of these
| cereals in the London markets and we
