Steps for Cooperation in
Work Devoid of Purpose,
Germany Informs U. S.
BLAMES GREAT BRITAIN
FOR RAISING OBSTACLES
Relief May Be Unnecessary After
October l, However, Owing to
Favorable Harvest Prospects.

Complete failure of the persistent
efforts made by the United States to
extend aid to the people of Poland now
is regarded by officials here as virtu-
ally inevitable.
Germany, in note which has
reached the State Department. served
notice that in view of the "impracti-
cable conditions imposed by Great
Britain on shipment of relief supplies
through the allied lines. further ne
gotiations are devoid of purpose" The
British foreign office, in communica-
ton several days ago, declared that it
had said it's last word on the subject in
agreeing to permit shipments on con-
dition that no native food would be
taken by the Teutonic armies occupy
ing Polish territory.
There still is a slender possibility
that the personal appeal sent by Pres
ident Wilson to rulers of the bellig-
erent countries may result in some
concession on the one side or the
other. So far no replies to this appeal
have been received and there has been
no indication that it has made an ap
capital.
Officials are particularly pessimistic
over the future of relief work in the
war zones because of intimations
reaching Washington that the harsh
rules imposed on Poland soon may be
applied also to Belgium. They see
possible evidence of such a purpose in
the uncompromising stand taken in
the present negotiations. and II would
occasion no surprise here If Germany
withdrew the undertaking to permit
the Belgians to retain their native
crops and Great Britain retaliated by
canceling the privileges extended
American relief societies in sending
supplies into Belgian territory. Such
development, it is feared, would mean
great hardship in Belgium, where a
large part of the population is being
fed and clothed by America

PLEDGE FOR SHIPPING
German Submarines Not to Attack

LONDON, August 2.-The German
government has given a pledge to Hol-
land not to destroy or molest Dutch
according to Copenhagen dispatch tc
the Express. This decision is the re-
suit of visit to Berlin of Cornelius
]. X. Van Aalst. president of the Over

missioner
The Express says Van Aalst present
ed an ultimatum to the authorities in
Berlin to the following effect:
Threat to Close Frontier.
Unless Germany agrees not to inter-
fere with Dutch ships bound for Eng
land with food cargoes Holland will
close her eastern frontier. Otherwise
the entente may stop Dutch imports
from America and the Dutch colonies
The trip of the Dutch commissioner
was the result Of representations by
the entente that Holland was selling
large quantities of foodstuffs in Ger
many while her food trade with Eng
land had almost ceased Holland re-
Piled that trade with England was
made dangerous by German sub
marines. Van Aalst. fearing reprisals
by the entente, then undertook the trip
to Berlin, and, after a series of con-
ferences. obtained Germanys accept
ance of his demands

Dutch steamship iceland while on her
way from Scottish port to a foreign
port has been sunk by a German sub
