ALLOW NEU7RALS
To GET SUPPLIES

WASHINGTON. D. c., August Is
Belgians will get food quickly and
neutrals will have some of their wants
supplied, through an arrangement en-
tered into by the Food commission and
the governments of the neutral Euro.
pean countries.
1t has been decided to let thirty or
more Dutch ships sail at once. from
an Atlantic port carrying grain own
ed by the Netherlands government on
condition that the greater part of the
cargoes shall be used for relief Of the
BeJgians.
1t was also announced that the
Swedish mission had sold at cost SIS
600 bushels of wheat in this country
to the Belgian relief. The wheat was
bought by the Swedish government
last January and has been held in eIe-
vators ever since This will 90 for

cured by the Belgian Relief commits
sion and will take the cargo space of
several large freighters.
In return the Swedish government.
will be allowed to ship 10000 bush
els of rye of the new American crop.
which will be available in September
or October.
Weeks of Negotiating.
Negotiations between United States
officials and representatives of the
neutrals have been in progress for
several weeks.
Norway's case has been presented
BY the commission headed by DR. Nan
sen, and complete accord has been
reached. it is understood.
Norway needs foodstuffs. She is
willing to devote 100000 tons to the
service of the United States, if she
can get food in return 1t is under
stood that this offer, in part, has been
accepted
It is understood also that the use of
ships will be given this country by
both Norway and Holland for such
trade as does not conflict with United
States laws, thus releasing much
American and Allied tonnage for the
carrying of munitions and troops. Con-
gress probably will be asked to make
il legal for ships under a foreign flag.
but with American charter, to engage
il coastwise trade
What arrangement is to be made to
meet the needs of Switzerland and
Denmark could not be learned but the
general understanding is that GER
tain amount of the old crop of wheat,
with some fats, will be allowed to
these countries, as well as to Norway.
Seden and Holland.
In every case, a promise is OBJ
tanned from the neutrals that no ma
terial furnished them under this
agreement is to be re-exported to
with whom the Allies are at
war. The neutrals have contended
that nothing was exported in kind
but one of the main difficulties in
reaching an agreement has been the
knowledge that cattle fed with Ameri-
can grain were sold either on the hoof
or as meat to Germany and that
cheese and butter from cows fed on
forage from America went to the
Central Powers.

HOUSTON, Tex, August 25.-The
negro soldiers of the oath Infantry,
who Thursday night took part in shoot
ing in the streets that killed IL per-
sons, today were started toward Col
umbus, r. NJ. Among them were the
81 men charged by District ATTORNEY
Crooker with murder.
The entire 696 members of the bat
talon which came here four weeks ago
to guard Camp Logan during con-
struction were entrained by daybreak
and shortly after the train bearing
them steamed westward without in
cident
The fate of the hundred or more
negro soldiers is in the hands of mill
tary, Notwithstanding the decision of
District Attorney Crooker in filing
murder charges against 80 of the emn.
Il assume" General Bell said, that
the local authorities will seek to try
the men against whom charges have
been filed. However their disposition
is in the hands of the military. They
will be courtmartialed."
General Bell declined to discuss
plans for the courtmartial. He went to
Camp Logan to confer with Major
Snow shortly before noon.
Houston today gave little external
evidence of the occurrence, save for
the presence of armed guards on
street cars and in the thoroughfares.
With the arrival today of Maj.-Ge
Bell, investigation of the shooting be-
gan.
The departure of the battalion ap,
preciably lessened the tension in
Houston. Capt. L. S, Snow did not
accompany the battalion, as he has
been detailed as major to the national
army camp at Fort Smith, Ark. He
said that while no charges had been
preferred AGAINST the more than one
hundred men who marched through
the San Felipe district shooting at
random, they might be very ex-
treme"

DESAULLEsB BOY
ALLOWED TO SEE MOTHER
She Weeps When Time for Parting
Comes, but Is Assured That
Visit VIII Be Repeated.
HER CONDITION Is SERIOUS
County Physician Declares She Must
Show Considerable Improvement
Before Being Brought to Trial.
Coroner's Inquest in Progress.

MINEoLA, N. z, August s.-Little
JACK the four-year-old boy
for whose custody Mrs. Blanca De-
Saulles shot and killed her former
husband. John L. DeSaulles, spent an
hour with his mother in her room at
the Nassau County jail late to-day.
The visit was unexpected by the moth
or. who had been asking for the child
almost necessarily since her arrest.
Mrs. DeSaulles and her son were
left to themselves. and the child romp-
ed about tho room when his mother
was not holding him in her arms.
She wept when the time for parting
came, but was considerably cheered by
assurances from jail attaches that the
visit would be repeated.
The boy was brought from the home
OF G.. Maurice Hecksher by two private
detectives. Henry A. Uterhart, coun-
sci for Mrs. DeSaulles. declared he
knew nothing of 1t until the child ar
rived at the Jail.
DR.. Cleghorn. county physician. re-
iterated to-day his statement that Mrs.
DeSaulles is seriously Ill. She is in an
extremely weakened condition, he said,
and must show considerable improve
ment before she can be brought to trial.
She is suffering from a malady. the
nature of which has not been deter
mined. and DR.. Cleghorn said an x-ray
examination would be made.
Tho visit OF Jack DeSaulles to his
mother was decided on at a confer
ence OF the DcSauIles family. attended
by Major Arthur DeSaulles. father OF
the slain man. and Charles DeSaulles.
a brother. according to a statement
given out by the family tonight.
FRIEND OF DeSAULLES
TELLS OF SHOOTING
At the inquest to-day. Marshall
Ward. close friend of John Longer De-
Saulles. who was present at the shoot
ing. told his story.
His testimony was most interesting
Mr.. Ward assisted his friend after the
latter had received the fatal wounds,
and to-day he told the Jury what had
TRANSFERRED between them.
After describing the shooting. he said

tho wounded man. he testified.
II don't know. Get a DOCTOR" was
tho reply.
Ward went to phone for a physician.
When he returned he found DeSaulles
in a state OF collapse on thu moor of
the porch.
Where's tho boy?" was the wounded
mans first question.
Upstairs" Ward says he replied.
Where's sheT'
Outside"
Don't let her get at mo again.
Ward says DeSaulles begged him.
Then:

mo. I have not. Do you want me

To this question. Ward says. De-
Saulles made no reply other than to
ask Have you called the doctorT'
Yes" Ward replied.
II hope he will hurry"
DR.. Harry NJ. Warner. who performed
tho autopsy. testified as to the nature
OF DeSaulles's wounds, and other tes-
timony was given by Constable Thorne,
who arrested Mrs. DeSaulles.
The hearings were postponed for a
week to enable Mrs. DeSaulles's maid,
Suzanne Monteau. who was with her
at the time OF the shooting, to appear
and testify.

an army. 1t is advisable to disturb de-
pendcnts just as little as the necessity
OF raising an army will permit. To
this end Section Is of the regulations
was compiled carefully and after the
most earnest consideration. II expert
encc is to prove that the generous con-
ditions prescribed by Section is, or
abuse Of them, will interfere with
tho raising OF an army. then 1t is no
longer advisable to discharge so wide
a class, and the conditions stated there
in will have to be restricted until an
advisable rule Is reached
= Nothing has happened to change
the belief that the persons enumerated
In Section Is could be discharged with
out interfering with the raising of an
army. but there are Indications that
abuses of Section Is may render its
continuance no longer advisable.
Reports are to the effect that, In
some districts, as high as SO per cent
OF persons called before local boards
arc filing claims for discharge on the
ground OF dependent relatives. Such a
percentage OF claims when viewed In
connection with all available statistics
indicates beyond question that ad-
vantage Is being taken Of the pro-
visions or the law and regulations.
There Is a moral certainty, in tho
extravaganza OF this percentage, that
hundreds Of u~nfounded claims are in
cluded in these totale.''
