Belgian Banker Discusses
Plight of Country

London, January 1.-THE civil army
we have to feed Is greater than the
British and French armies combined
Yet we can scrape through on about
S6,250,000 worth of food a month"
This statement was made today by
Emil Tranquil, Belgian banker, in
London in connection with relief work
in Belgium.
1t is not generally realized, NJ Fran
qui said. that there still are 100000
persons in Belgium dependent for food
on the American relief commission.
In all the history of the world
Mr.. Tranquil continued, there is no
precedent for community of 1000, 900
souls facing starvation and deniel bv
the belligerents OF every possible
means of self-preservation. We indeed
are the Ishmael of Europe. You in Eng
land say you cannot trade with US be.
cause to do so would be to trade with
your enemy You say you cannot open
he port of Antwerp. our door of re-
lief because it would be of ADVANTAGE
to Germany. You say you cannot even
send us money because 1t nigh. reach
your enemy. Thus the Germans. the
French and the British have a rirg of
steel around our territory through
which none may enter and none may
depart without permission of the bel
ligerents
The Germans say: If England al
lows trade with Antwerp your indus
tries will revive If she does not--well
we are sorry, but we suppose you must
take the consequences. See The Hague
convention
While the belligerents argue NJ
Tranquil added. 10000 900 persons were
confronted with actual starvation, but
with the formation of the American
relief commission obstacles in the way
of ministering to the wants of the Bel
gians were overcome and shipments of
food were permitted to. enter Belgium
by way of Rotterdam This relief
could not have been given, he aided,
except under the auspices of the neu
II al commission.
I'VE are proud OF our thrifty race"
Mr.. Tranquil said in conclusion, but
we are now at the mercy of the world
If mercy is not accorded us, we shall
no longer exist"

New York, January r.-(Special)
President Edward P. Ripley of the Santa

especially qualified to give information
respecting industrial and agricultural con-
dtions of the great region which his
railway penetrates. Therefore, what
President Ripley says is always keen
ly Needed by men who conduct i'm
portant affairs in this city. A recent re-
mark which he is said to have made has
been confirmed by an examination of a
carefully prepared map SO arranged as to
set forth by series of lines or the alb
sence of any lines business conditions in
all parts of the country. President Rip
ley is reported as having said that the
war had greatly changed some of the
features of railway transportation in the
United States. intimating that the rail-
way managers are trying to adjust their
operations go that they may easily meet
these new conditions. He speaks, how
ever, of a considerable district west of
tho Mississippi, of which, speaking in
a general way, Des Moires, Ia, is the
much better than those which prevail in
other parts Of tho United States This
is attributed to the opulance Of crops
which were harvested in that region and
to the abnormal demand of European
nations for these food products.
II 1t be true that the transportation
companies of the United States are OBJ

changes can be briefly exploited by an
allusion to some of those which have

First of all, there is the continued
story which has been narrated, chapter

the remark attributed to President Rip

points of view is without any precedent.

WHEAT COMES NEAR
TO PAN|CKY MARKET
Many Big Houses With Sell
ing Orders Are Unable
to Find Buyers

Chicago. January 11.-wheat came
nearer to panicky market today than
at any time for months. Many big
houses with selling orders could not
find buyers. The entire trade was semi
demoralized for brief period with
prices melting away fast, but show
of relative steadiness finally was
brought about.
1t was not until wheat values had
broken down SA cents bushel below
the top notch war price of a few DAYS
ago that frantic sellers could be forced
to recognize that confirmation was
lacking for stories that the Dardan-
Giles forts We're at the point of sur
render and that as a result the world
be Hooded with Russian wheat. The
fact remained that bearish sentiment
had acquired immense impetus owing
to the recent threats of call for govern
ment interference because of prospec-
tive scent bread and in consequences OF
the possibility that hostilites by Italy.
Roupana and Greece would moan a
stop to the war sooner than had been
expected.
Portland. Ore. January 1.-THE
prices of certain varieties of wheat at

with him the toll and drudgery of making the
earth bear its yield. He has no protection" in
disposing of his goods, but must sell them on the
open market in competition with the whole
world. He is compelled to take the price offered
for his produce hogs, cattle and other foodstuffs,
and to submit to the law of supply and demand
without any adequate protection from the gov
eminent.
Blaming the farmer for the high price of
wheat is unjustifiable. If he is sharing in the
golden return of the increase in the price of this
cereal, believe he is entitled to it, for he did
not manipulate market to obtain it, neither
was he remotely responsible for the causes that
brought up the high price.
Since the and the jump in the prices of
foodstuffs there has been an cutlery against the
farmer. Traced back, these criticisms usually
come from persons who seldom have done harder
work than push pencil, from persons who
would not condescend to work from early till late
farm. Perhaps it would help these harsh
critics of the farmer to go out into the country
and work for several weeks in the harvest fields
1t would curb the cutlery against the fancied
ease with which the farmer is supposed to make
his money.

The evidence was somewhat con.

for the defense was one of the finest
on record in a court room. When it
came to the jury, Jury Parkins in
structed the jury to bring in verdict
In favor of the plaintiff as he was
worth the money and the money would
defray the expenses of the Judge and
jury. When that august body brought
in it's verdict it declared in favor of
the defendant, and fined him $50
