LONDON. March 2o-Jarvis Bell,
ono Of tho nrst Americans to go to Bel
GUM after tho outbreak of the war
returned to London to-day, after a long
stay in Brussels and tho devastat cd
districts OF German-Belsium.
He brought with him 100000 worth

proprietor of Londons American de-
partment store. will buy $4,000 worth
for sale in his shop, and the remaining
$4,000 worth will be shipped to New
York for sale In the big stores thero.
The whole enterprise Is under tho
supervision OF the Belgian Relief Com
mission. and has been carried out By
Mr.. Bell as the only way OF saving the
hundreds of thousands OF despairing
women in the devastated districts from
starvation by making them self-sup-
porting.
DIR. Bell said day
1T was discovered that the whole
lace industry in Belgium for genera
lions had been IN the hands of twenty
two rich mon In Brussels. These men
are not manufacturers. but control all
the patternmakors. In Belgium the
women who mako tho actual lace can
not make patterns. but depend on these
manufacturers to supply them.
All the lace-making in Belgium has
been for many years split UP among
this group Of monopolists into districts
In each of which only ono manufac-
turer has tho power to offer work. II
woman lacamaker demands more
than IL cents day for turning out

her have pattern.
