BILLION and A HALF
SHOW ENORMOUS WORK
OF RELIEF-EIGHTY-ONE SHIP
LOADS FOR THE DESTITUTE.

Reports just issued from the Offices
of the Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM, in London, and II Broadway,
New York, give in figures the volume
of the relief that has been, and has ar
ranged to be, sent by the Commission
into Belgium.
These figures show that 6S ships
sailing from United States ports, car
ried in food and colthing 29,299,S40
pounds, or ALAS tons, exclusive of 16
ships from South American ports, and
three from European ports. The ag.
gregate of these is not given, but it is
estimated that it is more than 100000
tons, which would make the grand
total something like 1,40O,O00,OO0
pounds. The total valuation of these
food ships is considerably more than
$66, 100000.
New York led all other ports in the
number of relief ships, 23 having sailed
from here since November 4, 1914. New
Orleans comes next with ships:
Philadelphia with Z; Boston with I;
and Baltimore, Norfolk, portland and
Newport News next with 4 each; three
having been sent from Galveston, two
from Montreal and one from the Brit
ish port of Halifax.
Biggest and Smallest CaargOes.
The largest shipload of food was that
of the Great City, from New York.
February H., 5000 tons. The Har-
palyce, the first New York State ship,
was the next largest, with $40 tons.
and the third was the Naneric, with 81
300 tons. The smallest cargo sent
from America was that of the Thelma,
from Philadelphia, November II, LOO
tons, and the Orn, 2,025 tons, and the
Agamemnon, 2,720 the next smallest

Are you timid, or are you bold?
Are you cynic, or weary and old?
Does the world seem a hostile place
With rarely a glimpse of a kindly
face?
Then take day
To go and play
~ Go and play with the children.
Look at the rain through their cry
stal eyes,
Welcome the sun with their glad sur
prise,
Thrill to the voice of the wind-swept
sea
And bark to the call of the is-to-be!
Take day
TO go and play
Go and play with the children!

DANGER!
There are lots of pretty maidens,
With whom to dance and frolic;
But be careful how you kiss them
Or you may get Painters Colic!"
CAS- time is of all things the most
precious, wasting time must be the
greatest prodigality. Poor Richards

Distribution of Food.

The Commissions figures also show
in detail the distribution of food among
the Belgians. The population Of the
nine provinces seems to be rather un-
evenly distributed. The population OF
Barbant, in which Brussels, the capital,
is situated, is 1,522,941 Hainaut, which
borders on the northeastern part of
France, comes next with 1,241 ,042. East
Flanders has 1,134,079 and Antwerp
1,004,909. The population in the other
provinces are all under the million
mark and the smallest is that of
Luxemborough, with $4,000. The pop
ulation Of Belgium was approximately
7,800,00 at the beginning of the war
1t now shows an apparent decrease of
234,223, not including the Belgian
army. The majority OF the refugees
are in Holland, and are being partiaal-
ly fed by the Commission, which would
make the total number of those to be
thus fed something over 100000, OF
which 100000 approximately are des-
titute and are fed by the Commission
without cost to them.
