HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT

Greenwich, Sept. 21.-The charge of assault with intent to kill Henry Walker and his wife, Mary, a week ago yesterday was brought against Robert Harding when he was present. ed before Judge J. R. Mead in the borough court yesterday. He was held in $5,000 for the superior court. The witnesses were Mrs. Walker, Chief of Police Talbott, and Constable Mozzi who made the arrest. Mrs. Walker said that five shots were fired at herself and her husband, that three hit her and two hit her husband. One shot broke the latter's glass eye, and then went into the head. He is yet in the hospital. Harding hid in the woods. He lived on apples and berries until caught Sunday.

It will appear from this report that the commission is transmitting $5,O00,O00 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and des- titute would average less than five cents per day.

London, Sept. 21.-The PaIl Mall Gazette, commenting upon the recent statement of Gottlieb Von Jagow, the German foreign minister, regarding sGerfnany's submarine policy, in which Herr Von Jagow suggested that it might be we'll for Great Britain to srevoke orders instructing shipmas- yters to attack submarines wheneve CT possible, has this to say: @

UNITED STATES NOT
 DOING ALL THE WORK
Only $,O0O,O00 Contributed by This Country Towards Relief

London, Sept. 21.-The first com- lief in Belgium, covering the first eight months of it's existence, reveals that income and expenditure the or ganization forms the greatest relief movement of history. The comis- sion has collected and d1sbursed $50,- 100000, $15,OOO,OO0 of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people of the United States and the British empire and Belgium itself. Int bulk of the income has come from other than purely philanthropic sources, but the raising of this enormous sum has been exclusively, the work of the commission, which by financial ar rangements with Belgian individuals and institutions, exchange of currency with Belgium and a system of pro- viding the solvent Belgian inhabitants has maintained the entire population of nation for almost a year.
 A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto received but little notice is the effort being made by the Belgian to help themselves. Over fifty per cent. of the money expended 
 being furnished by Belgians abroad, and a large amount also is being supplied by Belgians in Belgium.
 $6,OOO,OOO From United States.
 In discussing the report Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the commission said: Tt 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 $6,000,0OO in food, clothes and money have come from the United States. However, the American pub lie should realize that the commission in it's organization, working person. nel 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 the success of the organiza- tion in giving it time to build. This support gave the commission it's foun- dation from which it acquired the moral prestige that enabled it to se- cure vitally necessary concessions from the various belligerent governments. Nor is the necessity for this valued support at all over. The problem be- comes more difficult every day for the number of destitute has increased from 100000 last October to 2,750, 900 in June, and now grows at the rate of 100000 month. And our re- sources large as they are cannot keep pace with the need if the charita ble public loses interest in our work Moreover, the continued support of America is necessary to provide the commission with the moral prestige as an American institution which it now possesses in the sight of the warning powers and the main:ten- ance of this prestige can only be se- cured by the continued sentimental and practical backing of the Amer lcan people,"

less something can be done to at least
 overcome the industrial stagnation." !" In addition to the Belgian people, the commission also supplies the French population within the Ger man occupied territory, which num- Der about 2,8OO,0O0. The cost of sup porting these people amounts to about s4,OO0,0O0 a month, and is accom- plished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arrangements which the commission has instituted whereby the towns in the occupied zone secure loans from the banks of Paris.

as complete accounts of the diSposi- tion of 195 cargoes of foodstuffs and clothing, and other statistical data, as we'll as general survey of the situa- tion in Belgium. It is pointed out that the organization as it stands now is the result of constant up-building feature of which has been the or ganization of local relief committees in practically every commune with @ federal system of district and pro- vincial committees with the comite | national at the apex. The relation of this structure to the commission is one of joint endeavor and the mem- bership of Americans entirely inter- locks the organization.
 The relief operations are divided into three classes one to provision the
 entire population, another to conduct financial relief and exchange opera
 tions; and a third to care for the des- titute.
 "The provisioning department"
 says the report, "is charged with the
 duty of revictualling the whole 7,000,- 900 people with necessary imports,
 and up to June 30 had either delivered
 or had in stock over 600,000 tons of
 foodstuffs for the Belgian section to
 the gross value of over $45, 500, 900.
 The whole of these foodstuffs are re-
 sold to the population through
 broad system of reticulations and the
 profit earned on these operations is
 devoted to the support of the desti-
 tute. Such profits have been made possible by the volunteer executive.
 commercial and transportation ser vices, and the amount of these prof its-about $4,SO0,000 to date-is the measure of the value of such volun- tary service.'
 2,75O,OOO Being Assisted.
 After referring to the work of the financial relief and benevolent de- partments, the committee states that half a million people who might oth- erwise have fallen into Restitution have been provided for through the remittances made available by this department, which to June 30 totalled about s2O,oo0,OOO.
 Through the benevolent depart ment," the report continues, "the | charity of the world and of the Bel | gian people themselves is mobilized | to the support of the destitute, and l through it over 2,75O,000 persons are | now being assisted in some measure | with food and clothing. The total | resources made available to the com mission from abroad for the support | of the destitute was over $31, 1,OOO,0O | to June 30, and the expenditure from these sources was at that date $25,- GOO, 1000, and is now proceeding at the l rate of about $5,0O0,OOO per month. Beyond this expenditure lies local charity, new exceeding $10,O00,O0O. The Belgian people have arisen to an emergency with the ut most devotion, and aside from local charity about fifty per cent. of the charitable funds of the commission from abroad are provided by Belgians and Belgian institutions.
 'The response of the American, British and other people to the plea on behalf of the Belgians has been without parallel in international phil anthropy-amounting today to nearly $15 100000 in cash, food and cloth ing.
