 THE HAGUE, March 25 (via Lon don).-Orders to the American relief commission to withdraw from Belgium were sent forward Sunday and are due to reach them Monday. Some days must elapse before the transfer of the relief commissions work can be con- cluded. according to information re- ceived tonight by the Associated Press from a pfominent relief commissioner at Rotterdam He added that he saw no reason why the German government should placd any obstacle in the way of the departure of the Americans in Belgium.
 At the German legation here today the correspondent met solicitous in ouiries as to whether the news regard ing instructions for the withdrawal was true. When informed that the orders had been issued members of the legation expressed regret that American participation in the relief work in Belgium had thus come to an end. It was stated with some emphasis that there was no reason whatever why the German government should wish to interfere with the departure of the re- ! lief workers. Furthermore, the hope was expressed that there would be no 1 overhasty rush to get out of Belgium, 1 in order that current affairs of the 1 commission might be Properly settled l To a question concerning the route the Americans would take, it was said | that in the interest of the relief work CTS it probably would be by way of 1 Switzerland and Spain as the chances for them to get home from Holland i were small

 RAILWAY SECURITIES
IRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

NEW YORK, March 25.- Further heavy absorption by American investors and financial institutions of foreign owned American railroad securities is disclosed in the latest compilation pre- pared by L. F. Loree, president of the Delaware and Hudson company made public tonight.
 When MT Loree's inquiry was first undertaken it was ascertained that American railroad securities held abroad July 31, 1915, were of a par value of $2,704, ,402, ,364.
 From August l, 1916. to January S1, 1917, there were returned to the Ameri can market securities of par value of $229,S17,076.
 Prior to August 1, 1916, there were returned securities of the par value of $1,2SS, ,773S02.
 Therefore says the Loree report, from the date the first compilation was issued showing securities held abroad amounting to S2,704, 402, ,364 there have been returned to the American markets securities having a par value of $1,51S, ,590,S7S or 56.15 per cent"
 MT. Loree's figures are based on in formation received from IA railroad companies, including all the roads ln the United States more than 100 miles in length of which number 105 compan- ies reported securities held ahroaG. v
 The Loree compilation does not in- clude many. millions of dollars of se- curities of American industrial corpor- ations held abroad prior to the war.

S., March 25.-Twen- ty-one survivors of the British steamer Coronda which was torpedoed 150 miles off the Irish coast on the 18th of this month, arrived tonight on Brit ish steamer that picked them up nine hours after the Coronda went down. Nine men were lost by the capsiZing of their life boat.
 The survivors reported they had scarcely reached the deck of their rescuing steamer than they witnessed thrilling battle between another tram steamer and a submarine, in which the submarine probably received it's death blow. One of the Corondas s men said: alesl
 T was looking aft when I saw what looked to be a cargo steamer coming up astern. A spurt of smoke issued rom her stern gun and hit close tt the periscope of the submarine. AS the shot struck, the submarine came to the surface and a second later saw the water shoot like a geysei alongside the British shore. Before th' submarine could get under water thu llamp returned his fire. AS l watched the submarine I saw shot land righ at her side.

Many Pathetic SpectacIes

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN FRANCE, (F'rom staff correspondent of the Associated Press.) March 25, (Via Noyon)-A visit by President Poincare and his cabinet ministers and senators recently at Noyon and Rove, two towns that probably hold the rec ord for being mentioned in the official communiques in the last thirty months and Nesle and Ham, two towns that will be high up in the record for de- vastation, developed many pathetic spectacles.
 Old men and women, with children under twelve years old, are all the hu mans the Germans left beaind them, forgot their two and a half years of suffering, during which they stoically repressed tears of rage, and wept with joy as they were surrounded by the official representatives of France It was hard to bear but we never despaired of the arrival some day of the i French troops in pursuit of the in Vaders.' was the general statement '"They left us without money and with out food but with all their methods and science there was one thing they could not deprive us of-faith. We knew l deliVerance was at hand"
 M. Poincare and his suite inspected the ruins of Ham, where thirteen tons of explosives were used in three double charges to blow up the historic ruins of the fortress with the famous dungeon Of John of Luxemburg. Where stood the high towers and massive walls of
 this great stronghold which held the Spanish army in check in the sixteenth
 century, are now nothing but gaping
 craters filled with water. At the june
 ton of the Noyon and Nesie roads al Ham, where a mine was sprung just
 before the Germans left, is an excava-
 tion fifty feet wide. This is a sample
 of what the Germans have done al every cross road. The magnitude of
 this work of destruction may be i'm
 agined from the pains taken to destroy
 the castle at Ham. The cost for the
 explosives alone is estimated at S0,00C
 francs
 In Ham there was found a consider
 able number of cases of munitions
 which is taken as an indication that
 the Germans were being hard pressed
 there.

MAKES PLEA FOR
 REAL PATRIOTISM
[Pepublican A. p. Leased wirel

ANNAPALOIS, Md, March 25.- When the 1S3 members of the first class of midshipmen at the naval acad- emy assembled for their last chapel service today preparatory to gradua- tion next Thursday Chaplain Sidney Evans prayed that war might be averted ,/but that If war comes, God may make us a united country, defend us from our enemies and preserve our rights and liberties"
 In the baccalaureate sermon to the middies, Captain Evans said:
 Patriotism and religion can be seg- regated only in theory. Patriotism is religion in terms of country. True patriotism is not the noisy, empty thing which expresses itself in cheer ing the flag as it passes while inner character bellies the words they ex- press. The lives of such have little in them of the sacrifice and fidelity of the fathers and founders of the repub- lie. Hypocrisy in patriotism passes current more readily than does hypoc- risy in religion because more common and less noticed
