Charities REPORT
JANUARY RELIEF

Continued from Page One.
in their efforts to relieve suffering
and want. The problems have
been as numerous as the families
in our care, and the pressing want
of employment for our idle men
has multiplied our difficulties.
Through the Street and Sewer
Department a few have secured
work, as also by means of a small
woodward and by private parties,
but the majority are still seeking
employment. The Charities, there
fore. appeals for the consideration
of all in this common trouble, and
asks for the full cooperation of
the departments, business houses
and citizens, that we may return to
normal conditions as soon as pos
sible.
These orders. as listed. repre-
sent the initial help. Many of the
women are receiving work
through the home relief benevo-
lent and provident societies and
the men such work as could be
provided.
We thank the Council for its
generous assistance and trust for
its continued interest in this inn
portant service to our community,
which we hope will insure the best
good to all concerned.
Very respectfully yours.
Sibyl NJ. Gordon, Gen. Sec,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8. - After
briefly examining the German proc
lamation creating a war zone around
England, administration officials to-
day were inclined to believe there Is
ground for a protest from Germany.
While not declaring that a protest
actually will be made, a high admin
istration official ventured the guess"
that there would be one. He declar-
ed that situation is likely to develop
into an important matter from the
American viewpoint
While the order was generally
characterized as a paper blockade" ="
the administration was understood to
believe that in isolated instances
Germany might work serious havoc
to American vessels.
Examination of the German order
was in the hands of Solicitor Ian
sing, of the State Department The
administration did not commit him
to any definite course, but he was in
structed to ascertain whether the or
der constitutes a transgressiOn of the
accepted principles of blOckades and
if it constitutes an actual menace to
American shipping. Should he devel-
op both of these points afiirmatively
a protest undoubtedly will be made
to Germany.
From an administration source came
the information that this government
has never received notice that Eng
land authorized misuse of a neutral
flag, as charged in the German Off
cial statement. This alleged misuse
was interpreted as meaning a war
rant to use neutral flags on British
ships.
