BELGIUM DEPENDENT
ON UNITED STATES
People Would Starye without Aid
From This Country-Stin
Menaced by Famine.


New York Special to The State,
July 1S.-Present conditions in Bel
gium are described in a letter recent
ly received at the Offices Of the com
mission for relief in Belgium, IL
Broadway, New York, from a repre-
sentative of the commission, who has
been all over the country in the work
of distributing food. The letter is
from Hainaut. The writer says in
part:
conditions in Belgium today are
perhaps no better nor worse than
they have been depleted in previous
publications in America, but they are
different from what the people of
America would imagine. One can
not conceive of a whole nation, out
wardly so tranquil, living with SO
enany superficial indications of their
old prosperity, and yet all the time
threatened by hung. r.
"Those who have travelled merely
from city to city may imagine that
Belgium is not threatened seriously
In Brussels patesseries are going and
superficially there are many signs of
normal life. If for the moment every
one seems to have food, it is because
the generously of the world, acting
through the commission, is accom-
plishing its great task. Every day it
appears that this population of L.
100000 is absolutely dependent upon
the commission for it's sustenance.
aDo not let the wave OF enthusiasm
that has passed over America spend
itself. Start another wave. Keep
starting them. Belgium cannot Shout
to you in return, but she knows what
you are doing. She is dependent,
grimly dependent, upon us in order
to sustain life. Other countries are
perhaps as badly off as Belgium, and
Belgium is only too glad to have the
world extend its charity to other ma
tionc, that are in suen dire need, but
il is we in the provinces who really
know how easily, how suddenly Bel
gium would meet starvation if the
supplies from America ceased COM
ing for even a short time"
That the comission is aware of
the fact that Belgium's supplies can
hold out for only a short while is evil
denced by the chartering or new ships
and the fastening of cargoes of food
to Rotterdam.

WILSON TO SEND REPLY
TO BERLIN THIS WEEK
president Returns to Washing.
ton from Vacation.
CONFERS WITH LANSING
ho"gh Draft OF Note is Completed
and Will be Submitted to Cab
met Today.

Washington, July 19.-President
Wilson and Secretary Lansing today
discussed in detail draft of the note
to be sent to Germany this week in
forming the Imperial government
what the United States will do If
there is further violation of Ameri-
can rights on the high seas.
The return of President Wilson
from Cornish, N. H., gave Secretary
Lansing his first opportunity to con-
fer on the policy to be followed as
the result of Germany's failure to
satisfy the demands made in the
American note of June 8.
1t was understood the President
and Mr.. Lansing found they had
reached about the same conclusion
that the next communication to Ger
many must be of a definite character
making it Enthusiastically clear that
the United States cannot be expected
TO remain passive in event of an
other attack on an unarmed and un-
resisting ship with a loss of Ameri-
cans. The note probably will contain
bttle or no discussion of the prin-
ciple already treated at length in
previous communications.
Prompt action in dispatching the
note general was forecast. Tomor-
row it will be submitted to the cabi-
net and possibly may be rivised again
at fridays meeting. In official quar-
ters 1t was agreed the communica-
tion would be on it's way to Berlin by
Saturday.
Although it is not certain whether
reference will be made to the attack
on the Cunard liner Orduna, il is
known that the incident has swept
aside previous suggestions that the
next communication would take into
consideration that German subma-
rine commanders in actual practice
were conforming to the rules of in
ternational law.
Secretary Lansing was at the
White House for more than an hour.
1t is understood he obtained the
Presidents final decision of the ex-
tent to which the purpose of the
United States should be stated in the
next note.

Bridgeport, Conn, July 19.-Ne-
gotiations to bring about settle
ment of the difficulties between the
machinists OF Bridgeport and the
Remington Arms & Ammunition
Company, engaged on gigantic scale
in the manufacture of war munitions
for the allied armies, have failed

ROUMANIA HAS NOT
REFUSED AUSTRIA
Negotiations still i'm Progress-Ger-
man Officials Will Not Give De-
tails of Proposals.

Berlin, via London, July 10
German officials decline to discuss
the Austro-Hungarian proposals to
Roumania, which have as their OBJ
ject assurance of Roumania's neu-
trality and perhaps even participa-
tion in the war against the Entente
powers
No denial is made that such pro-
posals have been MADE but Germany's
knowledge of the nature of the terri
torial and other concessions offered
by her ally is regarded as confidential
and inquirers are referred to Austro-
Hungarian sources for details. 1t is
an open secret that one phase of the
negotiations has to do with ship
ments OF munitions to Turkey pass
ing through Rounmania. These ne
gotiations have not reached a de-
cisive point and ii is considered GER
tain that a negative answer from
Roumania has not been received
The negotiations between Turkey
and Bulgaria have not yet been con-
cluded. Turkey is willing to make
certain territorial concessions in the
Adrianople district to give Bulgaria
the desired railroad route to the sea,
but a point escaping general atten-
ton is the fact that Turkey demands
in return but merely passive neutral
ity, as heretofore. but participation
or at least some form of pressure
against Turkeys enemies.

VAST GERMAN ARMY
SMASHES RUSSIAN LINE
Greatest Movement of War is
Started by German Armies.
BERLIN CLAIMS ADVANCE
Petrograd Admits Slavic Force.
stubbornly Are Retreating.
Other Fronts Quiet,

London, July 19.-Attention now
is centered on the gigantic operations
IN the east, where fighting is in full
swing in nearly every section of the
Russian line from the Baltic to the
Dneister.
Gen. Won Buelow is pushing the
German advance toward Riga on the
northern end of this line. The move
ment is being conducted by cavalry
on scale exceeding anything here
tofore during this war. Berlin claims
steady advance and Perodgrad con-
cedes that the Russians have fallen
back after stubborn contest.
On Won Buelow's right is Gen. vo,
Elchorn. who is being held up by the
great Russian fortress Ossowetz. On
Won Eichorn's right is Gen. Won Gall
witz, who captured Przasnysz and
now is pressing an attack on the
Narew and its tributaries.
On the famous Rawka and Bzura
lines there is comparative quiet.
which also is reflected on the south
west side of Warsaw, but to the
southeast the movement against
Lublin, which was temporarily check
ed, again is in, full swing.
The Russians must fight a defen-
sive battle for possession of Warsaw
or abandon all of Poland. and mill
n ru nhcn
Duke Nicholas very likely to adopt
the latter course and withdraw his
armies intact.
These tremendous German activi-
ties in the east suggest that the Teu-
tons have little reserve to devote to
their western campaign, offering the
entente allies respite either for the
completion of munition supplies or
concerted attempt to recapture Lille.
Another view holds that the best
service her allies could give Russia
at this time would be the forcing of
the Dardanelles. 1t is possible the
allies may combine both suggested at
tempts, but 1T is certain that for the
time the wars center OF gravity has
shifted to eastern Europe
The Italians report some progress
in the mountains east of Trentino,
where the invaders now are striking
towards one of the two railroads
serving Austria's Trentino forces.
The South Wales soal strike situa
tion continues serious with the belief
growing that the only solution lies in
government operation Of the mines
during the period of the war.

draft of the American answer had

CRITICAL BUT HASCHANCE
However, Blood Poison is One of
Chief Dangers.
PHYSICIAN is HOPEFUL.
Green, the Assailant, Shows no Re-
morse and Says He Was Called
From on High" to Kill Frank.

Milledgeville, Ca, July 1s.-The
condition of Leo M. Frank, suffering
rom serious knife wound in the
throat inflicted by William Green. a
fellow life-term convict at the Geor-
gia prison farm here, remained criti-
cal tonight. DR.. G. d. Compton, the
prison physician, announced, how
ever. that he was hopeful of Franks
recovery. Possible blood-poisoning
from infection is one Of the chief
dangers, he said
Green, questioned further by pris-
on officials today, said he believed
that he had been called from on
high" to kill Frank, whose death
sentence for Mary Phagan's murder
recently was communited by Cover
nor Slaton. now retired He indicat-
ed no remorse as he had done i'm
mediately after the attack Saturday
night.
Il only wish that I had had more
strength" Green said. Il think I
have done my duty in this matter as
we'll as my strength allowed. | be-
lieve that God has helped me. |
don't think that ever did wrong in
my life"
Green is partly paralyzed in his
left arm and Franks physician be-
lieves that this fact probably saved
Franks life, as Green was unable G.,
hold him while he used the knife.
Warden Smith said today Green
had spent much time recently read
ing the Bible.
Should Frank die Green probably
would be tried for murder. No de-
cision has been reached as to what
action will be taken if Frank re-
covers.
Think Green Acted Alone.

prison farm at Milledgeville. Two
resolutions calling for an investiga-
tion were introduced early today
and later Representative Campbell of
Newton, introduced a resolution pro-
viding that members OF the lower
house personally investigate the mat
ter.
Members of the committee said
they believed that William Green. the
convict who attacked Frank, alone
was involved and that there was no
negligence on the part of the prison
officials.
