New York, Feb. fro make up "a. shortage of 7e, GOO tons of food during
 the next three months is the gigantic
 task now confronting the commission
 for relief in Belgium, T Broadway, ac- cording to the announcement made by
 Vice. Chairman Lindon Wallace Bates
 to relief committees throughout the United States. MT. Bates is one of te foremost engineers in the world.
 He was contracting engineeF for many
 transcontinental railroad docks and terminals. He was retained in 1896- 1902 by the Belgian government to pre-
 pare reports for the improvement of Antwerp harbor. now held by the Ger mans. He was the engineer on the
 Suez canal enlargement, engineer for the Russian government on many big river improv cement projects, engineer improvements, engineer for various
 the port of Shanghai. and, engineer for
 his statement MT Bates says: 'sThe commission is actually short in the department for the feeding of desti-
 tute Belgians 21 900 tons for February, 5,00 0tons for March and 30, 900 tons
 for April. The enforced transfer of food from the department for provis- ioning those who. can still pay some thing for rations during these months
 is bound to eat it's provisioning cap itals seriously. There are now 1,40O, ,0OC
 destitute, and the actual cost of sup plying and administering the canteens for the destitute now is $2, 800, 900 pel month The number of the destitute daily fncreases.''

SECRECY CLOAKS |NAvY'S PLAN TO
 HEEL P JAP VESSEL

Washington, Feb. 5.-Rescue meas ures for the Japanese cruiser Asama, ashore and breaking up oh the lower California coast, were cloaked in se- crecy here today to protect the neu- trality of the United States. On the theory that Information of the dis abled Japanese ship might become of value to German men-of-war in. the Pacific, the navy department kept se- cret it's latest despatches from Rear Admiral Howard. commander of the Pacific fleet, sent from his flagship, the cruiser San Diego, in the neigh borhood of Ensenada, and refused in formation of the movementp~ of American men-of-war going the Asama's aid
 It was believed here, however, that first aid would be given by the cruiser Raleigh. The San Diego, crippled by a recent boiler explosion would be unable to make fast time to the wreck near Turtle Bay.

New York, Feb. 5.-The reaction ary tendency shown by the stock mar ket in yesterdays late session became more pronounced at the outset of to- days operations. some of the import ant shares finding their lowest level for the current movement. Canadian Pacific, Southern Pacific and Reading were weakest, declines ranging from material fractions, to a point. U. s. Steel was relatively steady but Beth 1ehem Steel yielded a point of yes- terday's gain. London once more reflected a heavy undertone for in ternationals with New York Central, Union Pacific and Reading the prinz cipaI features.

CHARITY BALL LEADS SEASONS SOCIAL EVENTS Affair at Stratfield Success ful, Financially and
 Socially BEAUTIFUL GOWNS
 FEATURE OF EVENT Proceeds Used for Three Branches of Charitable
 Organization

In bright hued robes and spark ling jewels society went forth last night to dance for charity. Up in the big ball room of the Hotel Strat- field she gathered and there to the strains of a popular orchestra caper- ed and capriced through the latest steps. Societyss handmaid, Fashion was present also. but so changed. from her whom they called Fash ions season ago! Banished were the tight skirt, banished the sleeves and banished the long waist. The young feminine goddess now arrays herself in the demure costume which she wore a century ago. the wides out standing skirt and the short waist simply made. Judging from the cos tunes alone, last nights festivity might have eSaily been one of 1S15- It was the eighth Charity Ball of the Associated Charities for Indus trial relief and none of the other sew en has been more successful. For 29 years this great organization has been reIeaving the need of our city. It's first meeting was held in 1886 and its first president was Mrs. H. H. Pyle who capably filled that of flee for the succeeding six years In 1892 Mrs. Joel P Omans was chosen president in which office she still work of the organization has broad- ened with the growth of the city and I now holds 8 most important place in the lives of hundreds of poor
 Under it's direction are three sp1en- did branches,g the Day Nursery, the Girls club andt the Orthopedic clinic and it was for the benefit of these that last nights ball was given.
 The ball was largely attended by members of the representative fami- lies of the city. The ball room had been simply decorated with sm1lax, palms ferns and bay trees by HaW4 dns, the florist, and these with the red shaded lights made de1ightfu11y pretty scene. The assembly room, below the ball room, was utilized for the punch bowl and for rest room
 Preceding the dance there was a reception at which MT. J. P. Omans, Mrs. J. Percy Baruam, Mrs. J. T. Roche Mrs. s. c. Shaw, Mrs D. H. Warner, Mrs. W. s. Feel, and Mrs. E. " Downs were in the receiving line
 The dancing contipued far into the morning.
