BELGIUM HAS LOST
 6O0,OOO CITIZENS
 AS RESULT OF WAR
The Rockefeller Foundation War Relief Committee ls- sues RepOrt-Situation
 Unparalleled

New York, FcDfuaiy h. he '" "t has reduced Belgiums population by about 600.ooo and her condition pre- sents a situation without parallel Tn history. says a report issued tonight hv the Rockefeller Foundation rom if. war relief committee sent to Bel Rium last November to investigate the effects of the war on noncombatantS.
 After detailing how transportation communication and banking excfange have been destroyed commerce and ln- dustry paralyzed. homes and ether buildings laid low, the agricultural dis tricts devastated and the food supply virtually cut off. the report says
 "Yet, if one is to understand the Belgian problem. it is perhaps neees ] sary to emphasize not the Restitution of few hundred thousands but the suddenly enforced inactivity of strong and healthy nation of 100000.
 '.This is what makes the Belgian sit ration a thing without parallel in his tory
 After stating that there are 320,0Co Belgian refugees in Holland and 100,- 900 in England, the report says the ru4nber of people who are still in Bel gium but who have been driven out of their homes has not yet been esti- off 25o 900 men.
 Property Destroyed
 Of the destruction of home and prop erty, the report says:
 iiyinp n p a1la under the ruins of their homes; In lofts over the COW stalls, and saw chil- dren that had been born in hen toops and pig stys. In Wise there were l2oo families. We did not see dozen the houses were razed
 the houses were rabed.
 The destruction of stock Is of great CT importance than the destruction of homes. the report declares. 'The peas- ants" it continues, "are in the great est terror that the few animals that remain to them may be taken
 Regarding the agricultural situation, the commission found that autumn planting has been done somehow and that it is conceivable that Belgium may continue to raise most of her own potatoes, fruits and fresh vegetables.
 "In France, says the commission, i've found that it was clearly the pol icy of the German occupation behind the fighting lines, to promote the planting of next years crops and to spare milch cows and breeding animals. It naturally would be the policy of the German occupation in Belgium to encourage the raising of foodstuiis.'
 In connection with the destruction of property the report says that no estimates can be obtained but that tl-e total must be enormous.
 While the German army was fight ing it's way across Belgium" IL con- tinues, "the soldiers of both sides took poultry food supplies, wines and bed dim. to the limit of their immedia.e de- sires-or beyond.
 Since then the German occupation has requisitioned grain. canned goods. food supplies, live stock and horses from towns and countryside. II has has also requisitioned such thirts tss as cotton and woolen stores. copper fix lures and implements in some factor ies motor cars, gasoline and any ma ohinery that can be used in the man ufacture of armament"

Profit in Florence Cope's Death.

The conviction of John A. Cope in the Bucks County
courts for the murder of his niece Florence v Cope at
Buckingham few miles from here last September brings
mind the painful fact that this young girl lost her life
because few people valued the pennies higher than her
body.
The distiller or brewer who manufactured the liquor
that made of John Cope murderer and the who sold
him the stuff all did it because they made little profit
What mattered it to them than innocent young girls
life might pay the forfeit if they might but make their few
pennies profit the consumed by the uncle?
The dstlers and sellers of liquors pass it up to the
license sgners and to the voters and the latter all
often shake the responsibility from their shoulders by say
ing that there's ALWAYS been drinking and always will
be- The brewers dodge their large share of the respon
sbty for the crime and debauchery by saving their con-
sciences with the notion that they manufacturing "a
light harmless drink" for the poor working man."
But, unless the teachings of Christianity are all
wrong somebody will be held responsible for the havoc
wrought by this debauchng traffic. and particularly when
it is done make profit for somebody easier than they
can earn it in legitimate lines Of trade.
AS matter of fact, there are lots of men in the
liquor business who really have honest understand
ing of the sin than Of those who profess moral pety
but let it interfere with aiding the liquor traffic if it
profits them to so do
The liquor business, root and branch is doomed and
nobody recognizes better than those engaged in it. Some
of the people who hold up their hands in holy
horror at its effects but always sop down to the soft
pedal when there's chance to sell dollars worth of
goods to the maker dealer will have great deal more
trouble ustyng their consciences than the aforesaid
maker dealer, who very often have far higher re-
spect for honorable opponent than for wishywashy
