London, Jan. 27-"The impressions

in silence. and of admiration for the
bravery which enables them to do it,.
This statement was made today BY
DR. p. II. Williams OF New York, who

Foundation volunteered his services
to direct the operations of the
American Commission Of Relief in
Belgium at Iiege and is now return

The people OF Belgium never com
plain but they never laugh. Their
stoicism, for that Is the only word
which describes their attitude, would
mislead even trained observers into
believing that everything was going
on as usual Under the surface,
however, they feel implacable hatred
because Of their untold misfortunes
and sufferings.
