The sister may feel that you have
too strong hold on her brother and
naturally she would resent it. Put
yourself in the sisters place and try
to imagine how you would feel if your
parents were dead and you were liv-
ing with a brother, and then some girl
appeared who won the affections of
that brother. Ii would be very hard
for you to feel friendly toward that
girl Looking at things in this light,
perhaps you can be a little more kind
~ toward the sister when she is cool,
and in time you may make her like

Belgian Relief Work
Keeping Thousands
From Starvation

LONDON. March 1.--Herhsrt G. Hoover,
chairman Of the American Belgium relief,
committee. today issued the following
statement;
1T is desired that certain facts be per-
fecty clear In the discussions going on
in the American press with relation to
the worn OF this commission.
"Flrst--The German authorities agreed
with us in December that there should
be no further acquisitions or purchases
OF foodstuffs by the German army In
the occupied zone OF Belgium. The occu-
patton zone comprises the whole OF Bel
GUM with the exception of territory Inn
mediately adjacent to tho fighting line.
The German authorities have carried out
the undertaking with scrupuIous care.
There never has been any interference by
them with foodstuffs imported by the
commission. and the whole OF these food
stuffs or their equivalents have gone 10
the Belgium civil population.
There were awkward situations in
some localities; for instance. where troops
were billeted on the people and where
German officers and soldiers were eating
In public restaurants but these difficult
ties were solved by the issue to this COM
mission by the Germans from their mill
tary stores of a liberal ouid pro quo
without entering into any discussion
OF the right or wrong OF requisltioning
foodstuffs from the civil population dur
ing the early part OF the occupation OF
Belgium wish to point out that as Bell
GUM normally imports five-sixthss of its
foodstuffs even had no such restrictions
been made, Belgium would long since
have been without food except for the
imports of this commission.
Second. Every Belgian Is today on a
ration from this commission. Food and
money are not interchangeable, A Bel
gian man with 100000 in cash can OBJ
tain no more bread than the man who Is
destitute and without any opinion on the
justice or injustice OF levies in the way
OF forced issues OF paper money, I can
reiterate that the Belgians can only be
saved from starvation by the imports OF
this commission. The Germans cannot
and will not supply 100000 people north
OF the German line with food.
Those In Belgium with paper money
are no less dependent upon us for food
than the destitute. and every pound OF
food we arc able 70 Introduce into Bel
GUM by the mercy OF a charitable world
prolongs just that much more Belgian
life and has nothing 10 do with the taxes
indemnities or monetary transactions

NEW YORK. March i.-Considerable
tirmness was shown by todays stock
market, despite tho injection OF new and
abroad Tradin SvG lost nome Of e ts pro
little change until late in the session
when the cables told Of England's de-
on all shipments TO and from Germany
Anticipation Of this move was seen In
the markets for foreign exchange, all Of
which were again unsettled with acute
weakness IN remittances to Germany,
was also Increased selling OF American
bonds for future delivery. most OF which
was traceable to German sources These
offerings, however, made no impression
on quoted values
The most unfayorable feature so far
as domestic conditions were concerned
was found In the statement OF January
earnings submitted by the Pennsylvahia
railroad; ON it's lines east OF Pittsburgh
while west of Pittsburgh the loss
amounted TO $4,000. These figures were
accepted as an index of conditions In the
steel industry. Tho Illinois Central road,
substantial net increase
lndustrials were more active than rail-
way shares, and specieities again alb
sorbed a large share OF attention with
gains OF ! to points In the speculative
issues. Coppers made further favorable
response 70 the recent advnce I'm the
sales, The days new minimizing included
Louisville g. Nashville, which declined
points to ITO; American Locomotive
preferred to IS and American Express
