MANY THOUSANDS FACE STARVATION
Northern France Depending Upon Relief Commission
 for Food
By"Hop'

Namur Belgium, February 5.-tVia London. D. m.)-Thousands of women children and aged men in portions of northern France occupied by the Germans face starvation, with their only hope the food the American Belgian relief commission is sending south from Ma mur Carts drawn by horses supplied by the German army are being used for transportation of food to some sections. Sedan, Montherme, Nouzon, Charleville. Mohom, Mezieres and scores of other Villages are absolutely without food ex- cept the rations that German soldiers share with the civilians
 The bridges over the Mouse were burned by the French when they etired The Germans built pontoon bridges and consequently water transportation is s.b- solutely cut off in a large territory. A messenger walked 150 miles from Se- dan to Namur bearing d message from the mayor of the former place to the re- lief commission. The message said:
 Horrible Conditions
 Tn the name of the 12,00O inhabitants of Sedan I have the honor of bringing to your notice the following conditions:
 After six months of war without re- sources we have now reached the extreme state and are dying of hunger and sick ness for want of nourishment and medi- cines. Therefore I appeal to you in behalf of my fellow citizens. l know before hand that it will be sufficient to inform you briefly that your great republic, sister of France, may do all in her power to help us in this calamity which is hope less without your aid Receive for your self and the American government our greatest thanks for your generous and and noble work ltfs
 The commission sent an inspector who visited Sedan and many other towns, finding appalling conditions along the Mouse and the Semoy. At Givet crowds gathered about the motor car bearing the commissions banner and pleaded for bread. The burgomaster said 15,000 in that canton virtually were without food other than that given them by German soldiers At Montherme the burgomaster said many civilians were starving rather than appeal to the soldiers for food.
 Flour Ordered
 As the railway was operating to Givet there immediately. After arrival of the flour the burgomaster said to the com missions inspector: I've have dreamed of such generosity as that of your coun- try, but we never had example of if before."
 The commission is organizing it's work rapidly in northern France and hopes soon to relieve the immediate wants Ne gotiations are pending for aid from the French government. Heretofore relief work in France has been confined to cities near the Belgium border but the distress is even greater further south.
