FEED QUARTER
BILLION FRENCH
BEHIND LINES
OF the GERMANS

London March 25.-G.45 P. M.).-Her-
bert c. Hoover, chairman of the Ameri-
can Commission for Relief in Belgium,
who returned to London from Paris to-
day, announced the negotiations for feed
ing 2.5oe,0i0 French civilians who are be-
hind the German lines have been COM
pleted. The arrangements were settled
between Mr.. Hoover and French delegates
from the north whom the Germans per-
mitted to journey to Paris by way Of
Switzerland to attend the conference.
In anticipation that arrangements
would be made which would meet with
the approval Of all parties, the commits
sion already had purchased additional
supplies. These are now arriving in Rot
terdan and the people of Lille, Cambria
and other cities in this part of France
will be relieved within the next few days
The condition Of these people, chiefly
women and children. is desperate.
THE French government" said Mr.
Hoover, was unable to come to the as
sistance Of these unfortunate people, so
the commission arranged a series of
banking credits on behalf Of the various
communal authorities which are cut off

sian army. The delegates estimated that
in addition to such stores as will remain
they can keep their people alive on a ra-
ton Of 81 ounces of -four, one ounce of
beans. one ounce Of rice and one ounce
Of bacon per day, together with suft7-
Gent supply Of condensed milk and cocoa
for extremely young children.
THE total cost is estimated at from
s25eo,eoo to 100000 per month and the
commission is now in ae position to state
that it can see its way clear to carry on
this work for the next two months. The
work Of distribution in northern France
will be accomplished by an extension Of
the organization already existing in Bel
GUM.
THE German government has given
the necessary sympathetic support to the
work and there is no lack Of benevolence
among the French in their desire to assist
their own people. The commission does
not intend to appeal to the world for
help in this French problem, but feels
confident that 1t can carry the load by
means of the machinery which has Just
been set up

ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN THE
YuCATAN TO HELP SISAL DEALERS

San Antorio, Tex, March 25.-That the
abolition of slavery in Yucatan will more
than repay the trouble slsd annoyance to
sisal dealers in the United States is de-
clared by General Carranza in a message
from Vera Cruz received here last night.
Carranza is quoted as saying the reported
scarcity of labor in Yucatan was not due
TO the war conditions but to the fact
that owners of large plantations dispos-
ed OF their slaves and in many instances
sent them out OF the country to save
them from falling into the hands of the
Carranza troops
The planters 100 per cent. profits may
be reduced 50 or to per cent, but the poor
Mexican laborers,'' said Carranza, will
be made free and will read the benefit
Of their work as free citizens"
