INCITY; THANKS
HAWAII FOR AID


Predicting that Belgium viii suffer
as much during 1915 as during 1914
was made by Count G. Della Faille,
Belgian minister to Japan, just before
the departure of the steamship Mon
golia for the Orient ttis morning.
While here the count asked that
his sincere gratitude and thanks on
behalf Of the Belgian people be ex-
tended TO everyone in Honolulu who
had contributed either money cr SYM
patty to the Belgian relief. He de-
clared that the aid of the American
people after the devastation of Bel
GUM was the means OF saving the
lives OF many hundred thousand citi-
zens of the spall European nation.
The count was In Liege in August
when the war broke out. He remov-
ed to Brussels when the attacks grew
in volume and later to Antwerp when
the Belgian capital was moved. He
