BELGIAN RELIEF
WORK MENACED
BY TEUT0N ACTS

WASHINGTON. Nov. l5.-Fear
was expressed in Washington to-
day that the relief OF destitute Bel
gium by America may be seriously
interfered with. perhaps actually
brought 10 an end.
The fear grew out OF the admis-
sion that deporting OF Belgians
into Germany had reached such a
scale that the state department has
taken the matter up with the Ger
man government.
The German policy. It is under
stood, has been to declare destitute
any able bodied Belgians who ac-
cept relief supplies. and put them
10 work TO relieve the strain on
public charity. This course. Off
clals here believe today. may re-
suit In England and France asking
that the United States relief work
stop. since it apparently plays into
the hands OF the Germans.
Charge d'Affaires Grew at Berlin
has been instructed 10 take the
matter up with Chancellor Won Beth
psHollweg telling the latter

y Ne certain to affect neutral opin.

norman. The latter Is said TO have
told Grew that so many Belgians
had refused TO work. that policy
of compulsion had been adopted.
