yENTY YOUNG AMERICANS ARE
SENT TO ROTTERDAM.

Mr.. Bates has sent about twenty young col
lege-bred Americans who can speak french
over to Captain Lucey in Rotterdam to take
charge of the reshpment OF gram from that
mort into Belgium. Brand Whitlock has or
ganized an automobile corps, with the cars and
staff of the American Legation in Brussels, by
means of which he keeps in touch with all
psrts Of the stricken land and learns every day
where the need is greatest. All the American
corsuls are members OF the commission and
report 10 him. The Comite National de Sc
cours ct d'Alimentation attends TO the hnal
distribution to the bread lines.
Roughly then, the functions Of the commits
sion are divided as follows: Here in New
York Mr. Bates and his assistants stimulate the
formation Of local Belgian relief organizations,
There were a great many OF these on the
ground when the commission was formed.

Out OF fund collected abroad Mr. Bates pays

he completes vessels cargo whenever the To-
cal collections fall short.
