AMERICAN FAIR PLAY.

While the people of the United
States have been sending thirty mil
lion dollars worth OF relief to Europe
and Turkey, two hundred thousand
women and children in Albania have
died OF starvation.
While each woman and child In Bel
GUM has had plenty to eat women
and children in Albania have gnawed
at the carcasses OF dead horses in the
streets.
william willard Howard, of New
York, who has returned from his third
trip TO this hunger zone of Europe,
predicts that the entire population OF
Albania will die OF famine and pesti-
lence unless helped. lie says that in
Albania corn is fifty dollars bushel,
-four eighty dollars sack, and maca-
roni five dollars pound.
1.-THE tragedy OF Albania" says Mr..
Howard, lis that nation is dying OF
hunger, while the people of the United
States, laden with gifts for the rest of
Europe and Turkey, pass by on the
other side.
Thirty millions of dollars have
been given by the people of the United
States for relief work OF various
kinds in Belgium, Poland, Armenia,
Syria and the warning countries OF
Europe, while two hundred thousand
women and children In Southern Eu-
rope have starved to death unheeded
and uncared for. Not one woman or
child has died of hunger in Belgium;
two hundred thousand in Albania.

innocent women and children OF AL

harm, should be trampled under foot
and left to perish. at time when all
others are fed?

They fed and sheltered the refugees
from Servia, even with the last meas

villages possessed. They have not
done any wrong; yet armies have

BRITAIN TO INDEMNIFY
SHIPPERS FOR DELAY
Government Will Pay for Cargo
Detentions Incurred by
Neutrals
LONDON Enh 1R

LONDON, Feb. 49,
Consideration of the question of treat
ment of neutral shippers raised by the
American notes to Great Britain has
reached an advanced stage, with the pros
pect Of important notifications designed
to benefit the status of neutral shippers
Under the present system, when cargoes
of perishable goods arc seized, the goods
are sold and the proceeds afterward re-
turned to the shipper in case he estab-
fishes the bona iide character of the
shipment. But deductions arc made from
the proceeds so that the shipper pays the
expense OF detention, port dues, demur-
rage. etc, and the amount nominally re-
turnable to him is thus eaten up by
charges, Notwithstanding that the bona
fde character of the shipment has been
established.
The new principle under consideration
and likely to be applied will protect neu-
trail shippers from charges, and III case
the cargoes are detained or subjected to
loss the shipper will be given an indem-
nifty.
According to the new system. II there
Is loss due to mistaken seizures it will be
borne by the Government instead of by
the shipper, and an indemnity will be
given for an interrupted voyage.
Aside from this feature there also will
be a system of fines and checks designed
to warn l.-ippers TO observe complete good
faith,

''STOP PAYING MONEY"

missions Methods of
Making Awards
u. S. SEEMS HELPLESS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-"who Is re.

Commerce Committee sought to solve TO
day in It's investigation of charges by Gen
eraI George w, Goethas that the United
States has been robbed Of Sl7,O0O,OOO In
land deals in the Panama Canal zone. Tes.
timony submitted by General Goethals laid
the responsibility at the door of the Joint
Land Commission in charge of the settling
OF land claims under the Panama treaty.
General Goethals. despite close question
ing by members of the committee, was
reluctant to make direct charges. He said,
however, that attorneys prosecuting land
claims before the commission were getting
so per cent of the awards made to
claimants.
Are there any imputations against the
Panama members of that commission
that they are getting percentage?' asked
Representative Dillon.
NO" answered General Goethals.
General Goethals said that some of tho
Panama members of the last commits
sions had been dismissed because of ir-
reconcilable conduct"
1--WE have really benefited nothing by
the change" he added.
Plans are now under way, General
Goethals said, to acquire land outside OF
the canal zone for use in connection with
fortifications for the canal. The payment
for this land would come under the juris-
diction of the land commission, he said,
and the same extravagant payment would
undoubtedly be made unless some action
was taken. He said 1t was planned to
clear the entire zone Itself of all settlers
and others, leaving only the American
military and administrative authorities.
Members of the committee, remarking
that the Panama treaty gave the joint
commission arbitrary authority over land
claims, expressed doubt that Congress
could override the commission by leglsla-
tive action. General Goethals pointed out
that the commission was violating the
treaty by overpayments.
'"There is only one way to put a stop
to this" said General Goethals, land that
Is to stop paying money"
