been to Belgium within the last FIVE

Hoover, the chairman Of the commits

the first week Of December, stated that
there were only $4,000 sacks Of -four

thousands sacks Of -four sounds q very
large quantity, but it IS provision FOR
only FIVE days, and the report adds that
Liegc, Louvsin, Charleroi, Namur, Lux
embourg and other cities are provis-
toned for only two or three days.
And these are the large towns, where
the relief work is necessarily concen-
trated and organized at its very best.
From the country districts, from the

TO the German authorities for food.
Antwerp, Malines, Lierre, ST. Nicholas

safe conducts and every facility for

Ours is the strength the drums called up,
And it is to drink the cup

Salt with the taste Of blood and tears
Dear murdered mother still to die

No music of the march for them,
And for their souls no requiem
When, mid the screaming of the guns,
The mothers perish in their sons.
And we are foes. or they tell me

When out of night brought, won,
My morning star, my little

When to my warm and passionate breast

Massapequa Makes Proud Voyage.


In the autumn or winter Of 1905
saw the American and British battle
ships lined up in the Hudson. Every
ship that sails to sea compels TO sdora-
ton, from a super sdnought to the
humblest coaler stesming across the
Atlantic, and these battleships were in
describably beautiful and terrible.
They provided an indispensable thrill.
And vet / would have foregone that
sight gladly 10 have seen the transport
ship Massapequa steaming out Of New

Of bacon. vice, beans and -four; 10 have
seen her and the Coblenz and the Jan

seen the Dutch stevedores leap on
board and empty them, and 10 have
seen the bsrges going up the canals TO
Antwerp and Brussels and Mslines. |
am sure there was never a more stately
spectacle than the transport ship Mas

the glory and the splcndOr Of war will
remain.
Belgium owes her immortality to her
part in the war, just as America owes
her Immortality to her war Of inde-
pendence and her abolition war. And
vet. thrill for thrill, 7 for one confess
that nothing, if it be not Belglums
heroic defiance Of Germany, has moved
me more than Americas relief Of Bel

splendor Of this war, which is not her
war. has passed her by. She is saving
Belgium to-day more surely than the
armies Of the Allies.
Relief Greater than Intervention.
If some political exigency had com
pened her TO stand by US with her
army and her navy she would not have
given US a greater thrill. Her armed
intervention, which could only have
come by cold political exigency, would
not have touched us in the same way.
Nor could it have given US the same

when Americas part in II comes to be
