BELGIUM STANDS
ALONE IN GRIEF
Never Has Country Been So Stricken.
Nation of Inactivity

New York, Feb. lathe war re-
duced Belgiums population by about
100000 and her condition presents a
situation without parallel in history,
says report issued tonight by the
Rockefeller foundation from its war
relief commission sent to Belgium
last November to observe the effect
OF the war on noncombatants.
The agricultural regions are de
vastated and the food supply practi-
cally cut off. The report says:
"Yet if one is to understand the Bel
gian problem it is perhaps necessary
to emphasize not the destitution of a
few hundred thousand people to the
suddenly enforced inactivity Of a
strong and healthy nation of 7,OOO,-
O0O."
The destruction Of stock is of great
er Importance than the destruction Of
houses, the report declares. "The
peasants" it continues, "are in the
greatest terror that the few animals
that remain to them may be taken"
Regarding the agricultural situa-
tion the commission found that au-
tumn planting has been done some

The German occupation has requisi-
toned grain, canned goods, food sup
plies, live stock and horses from
towns and countryside. 1t is also
requisitioned such things as cotton
and woolen stores, copper fixtures and
implements in some factories, motor
cars, gasoline and any machinery
that can be used in the manufacture

In smaller places and in some lar

the remaining houses have been loot

The collapse of the banking ex.
change, the commission found to be
due to the fact that reserves of coin
and negotiable securities were re-
moved in advance of the invasion.
German acquisitions are paid for
not in money but by receipts which
are said to be often of the most in

Commerce and industry are at a

Was Hurled Into Air.

Anton Rose, of 585 West Side ave-
nue., was ON the front porch of his home
just before the accident occurred, when
he heard the quick, short, shrill whis-
ties from the express locomotive, which
he recognized as the last warning sig
nails to some one on the track. He saw
the woman caught by the pilot of the
engine and hurled into the air. He ran
to the scene, but by the time he had
arrived the train had come to a stop
and the crew was picking the victim
from the gully. Engineer J. J. Robin
son and Conductor A Fl. Satterthwaste
together with the fireman and baggage
men placed the body on streteher and
then in a baggage car. Elizabeth Bar
csak, eleven years old, of Keasbey,
had been with the woman to church,
and witnessed the tragedy. One man
who saw the accident was so affected
that he ran away from the scene rs
fast as he could.
The engineer saw the woman too
late to stop the speeding engine and
as he threw on the emergency air
brakes frantically blew the whistle
until the woman was struck. The
train came to stop within fifty feet
of where the woman fell.
A prayer-book, bound in celluloid,
carried by the woman, was torn by
the wheels of the train, and small
amount of money which she carried
in her waist was strewn along the
rails. All were picked up and turned
over to the coroner.

JULY 4 COMMITTEES
ABOUT COMPLETED
Meeting Will be Held Wednes-
day Night, When Extensive
Preparations Will be Made.

Extensive preparations for con-
ductlng a safe and sane celebration
in this city on July 5, are scheduled
to be made at meeting of the GEN
eral Fourth of July Committee We'd
nesday night. Mayor Ferd Garretson
expects to have the working commit
tees practically complete by that
time and he believec that progress
made thus far will permit meeting
to be held at that time. Cards, an
nouncing the meeting, will probably
be mailed tomorrow. Efforts will be
made to secure a large attendance,
as this will probably be the last gem
eral committee meeting at which
suggestions regarding entertainment
features can be entertained.
1t will probably be definitely d.
cided at that time as to whether
there shall be a street parade in con-
junction with the other safe and sane
features. A large number of organi-
zations, particularly those with MEM
bers of foreign nationality, have ex-
pressed desires to enter the street
parades on that date. The city Off
cials have been reluctant to act fa-
vorably upon the scheme thus far,
bearing In mind that the last Fourth
of July parade caused much suffer
ing and came near causing heat
prostrations. On that occasion Chief
of Police Patrick J. Burke and sew
eral of his officers who marched with
heavy uniforms, declared they would
never parade again on July 4, be-
cause of excessive heat.
Program TO Be Elaborate.
The 1915 Fourth of July program
will be like the one of last year, ex-
cept that efforts will be made to have
it excel the 1914 production. There
will be the usual opening with sa-
lutte bombs in the morning. This
will be followed by athletic programs
of various kinds, perhaps some
other outdoor attraction for the chill
dren and probably motion picture
shows. In the afternoon there will
be patriotic exercises, probably an
athletic program, dancing and an
exhibition of water sports. The even
ing will be taken up with fire works
displays, street dancing and a mardi
gras on State street.

WORK HELD Up On
C0NvERY FL. SPAN
Contractors Say That New
Agreement Must be Made
With Lehigh Valley R. r. Co.

Work is being held up on the Con-
very place bridge pending the reach
ing OF another agreement between
the city of Perth Amboy and the Le-
high Valley Railroad Company, ac-
cording to contractors on the job. 1t
is declared that the city had negoti-
ated with the railroad company for
but three piers and had secured a
right of way for that number at a
cost of $500, where four are need
ed. This was not confirmed by any
of the city or county officials in au-
thority today, but it was generally
accepted as a fact. Henry W.
Schrimpf, structural iron contractor,
declared that he had every pound of
steel necessary for the bridge at the
scene of operations and the work
was now being held up until lease
was executed for the erection of a
fourth pier on the southerly side, ac-
eording to the best information he
could secure.
Fox Denies Report.
County Engineer Alvin B. Fox,
who is supervising the work for the
Board of Freeholders, denied en-
phatically that the work was being
held up because of pending negotia-
tions for permission to construct a
fourth pier. He declared the story
in circulation concerning such a
transaction was a malicious lie, and
he said there was no delay so far as
he knew, but if the work was not
going on with the speed with which
it should the contractors were to
blame. When an attempt was made
to secure information upon the sub
ject from Freeholder Alfred T. Kerr
he diselaimed all knowledge concern
ing any hold-up and referred his in
terviewer to Mr.. Fox.
Mayor Ferd Garretson said he had
heard about a delay in the bridge
work but understood that it resulted
through the county authorities.
At the headquarters of Meagher &
Smith, contractors for the pier work
on the structure, a reporter was re-
fered to County Engineer Fox for in
formation on the subject Of delay. 1t
was learned from another source that
these contractors had attributed the
delay to the necessity of procuring an
agreement for fourth pier.
Alderman John ]. Clark stated this
afternoon that it appeared that the
agreement with the railroad COM
pany for the construction of concrete
piers and abutments had not been
drawn properly and he understood
that a new agreement had been pre-
pared which would permit the cree
tion OF the southerly abutment. He
believed that this document was now
under way and would be on hand in
a day or two. He stated that the
contractors had been halted because
the original agreement was faulty
