GERMANS DISLIKE "BOCHES"

PARIS, September l9.--That the Ger
mans do not like to be called "Boches"
is shown by an interesting case now
pending in Alsace- Lorraine, an account
of which arrived here to-day. Action
was taken by the German War Minis
ter against girl named Gabrielle
Barthel. who is now in prison for In
sultins" the German army by calling
the soldiers "Boches."
Gabrielle Barthcl is an Alsatian girl,
of French origin. and has two cousins
fghting in the French army. She went
TO Zerben. in Anhalt, on a visit TO her
father. and while there Il convoy Of
prisoners passed through the town
The girl met the prisoners and let fall
slip of paper, which one of the men
picked up
a German soldier in charge OF the
convoy seized the paper and read these
words: ''Nive Ia France! DO you know
that the Boches have recently suffered
a defeat near Arras?"
The girl was arrested. Al first the
charge against her was one OF cspion-
age. but this was abandoned, and she
was proceeded against for using the
word "Bochc." The case came before
the Dcssau Court Counsel who de-
tended Gabrielle Barthei held that she
had committed no onense. The word
'Boche," he said. served to designate
all persons who spoke German. and
included Swiss. Germans and Luxem-
burgers.
The court entered into long discus
sion as TO the precise significance Of
the word The president of the court
was inclined to think that "Boche" was
provincialism which signtfed a re-
pugnant abscess. While the cour,
agreed that the term was not by any
means Gathering, il decided to postpone
the case, In order that the exact mean

LONDON. September 10.-The first
complete report OF the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, covering the first
eight months Of its existence. reveals
that in inco-'e and expenditure. the
organization forms the greatest relief
movement NJ history. The commission
has collected and disburscd $4,000. 900,
SlS,o0o.o0o of which has been con-
tributcd in the form OF money or gift
food by the people of the United States
and the British empire and Belgium
itself. The bulk of the income has
come from other than purely philan-
thropic sources. hut the raising of this
enormous sum has been exclusively the
work of the commission. which. bn
financial arrangements with Belgian
individuals and institutions, exchange
of currency with Belgium and n sys-
tenn of providing the solvent Belgian
inhabitants. has maintained the entire
population of nation for almost a
year
y remarkable feature of the report,
which has hitherto received but little
notice Is the effort being made by the
BelSians to help themselves. Over
30 per cent of the money expended by
the commission in benevolence is being
furnished by Bclgians abroad and Il
large amount also is being supplied by
Beisians in Belgium.
In discussing the report Herbert c.
Hoover, chairman OF the commission
said: 1T may cause more surprise
among Americans. who believe that
the United States is provisioning the
Belgian and French people in the track
OF war. that only something over
S6.000.0c0 in food, clothes and money
have come from the United States
However. the American public should
realize that the commission in its or
GaniZation. working personnel and
political aspects Is distinctly American
The American charitable support. SO
early and promptly given. came at the
very inception OF the movement when
such backing was vital TO tho success
OF tho organization in giving il time
10 build. This support gave the COM
MISSION its foundation, from which il
acquired the moral prestige that
enabled il TO secure vitality necessary
concessions from tho various bellig-
erent governments. Nor is the neces-
s!ty for this valued support at all over.
The problem becomes more difficult
every day, for the number Of destitute
has increased from 100000 last Octo-
Der 10 100000 in June. and now
grows al the rate OF 20o, 900 a month.
And our resources. large as they are,
cannot keep pace with the need If the
charitable public loses interest in our
work Moreover. the continued sup
port OF America is necessary 10 pro-
VIDE the commission with the moral
prestige as an American institution.
which II now possesses in the sigh, of
the warning powers. and the main
tenancc OF this prestige can only be
secured by the continued sentimental
and practical backing Of the American
people"
