AMERICA GIVES UP
WORK IN BELGIUM
BERLIN's "DIsREGARD OF WRIT.
TEN UNDERTAKINGS DE-
| CLARED RESPONSIBLE.

Because of 1.-THE German govern
ment's disregard of its written un-
dertakfngs," for the protection of
Americans and American relief work
in Belgium, the state department an
nounced the fore part of this week
that American Minister Brand Whit
lock had been withdrawn from Brus-
sells, and the STAFF Of the American
commission for relief in Belgium ad-
vised, that they should not remain
longer in German occupied territory.
Minister Whitlock. who has been
kept on Belgian territory chiefly to
aid the relief work, will go to Havre.
the temporary capital Of the Belgian
government. The withdrawn Ameri-
can relief workers will be relieved
by Dutch citizens and the committee
through that means will continue
from outside bases AZ best It can the
work of caring for 100000 de-
pendent Belgians.
The departments announcement,
one of the most severe indictments
Of Germany drawn by the United
States, recites that restrictions have
been imposed on the Americans
(which, under ordinary conditions,
would never have been tolerated"
and that Minister Whitl0ck has been
denied diplomatic privileges and
courtesy.
1t says that the most serious de-
velopment, however, has come with
in the past two weeks. when several
of the commissions relief ships have
been attacked without warning by
German submarines in fragrant vio-
lation of the solemn engagements OF
the German government"
Whether Germany will continue to
make the relief work difficult for
other ministers is not known here.
The general American executors,
headed by Chairman Herbert c.
Hoover, will continue their efforts for
Belgium and Northern France out
side German Jurisdiction.

Passing the Coming and oo'ns.-
None of US can really sense the tre
mendous force in an object weighing
"a ton or more hurting through space
AT twenty miles an hour. not to speak
of higher speeds. The motorist who
has happened 30 hit stone wall or
solid tree at even ten miles an hour
has had a shock of appreciation when
he saw the strongest steel bent or
broken.
Even a modicum OF safety requires
the greatest precaution-caution In
advance-when passing another auto
mobile either from the rear or when
meeting 1t. The rules and methods
that render accidents impossible
when passing have been well worked
out by experience and should be OBJ
served always by all drivers.
First, slow down to absolute con-
trol-until you can stop within a car
length on that particular road sur
face. Second give the other car as
wide a berth as possible; only kid
driver sees how close he can come to
the other fellows tenders; the driv-
er who can drive within half inch
OF any object is the one who keeps
several feet away from 1t when pass
Ing It And in taking distance, give
due attention to the ground right
there; slime, mud or sand may cause
4 skid Of either car sideways for
several feet and cause q collision that
would be impossible on good sur
lace. Any slope OF the ground must

be considered OF course in poor foot
ing for tires.
| The law for centuries has required
passing to the right when meeting
another vehicle or person, and pass
ing to the left when overtaking an
other. The really good motorist new
from this rule. However much room
there may be to the right Of an over
taken wagon, or however far to the
left of the road 1t may be, slow down
and honk him over on his own side
so you can pass him to the left.
When the unexpected that causes all
accidents occurs then, you are prob
ably safe and IL not, you can collect
the damages instead Of paying them
Also, motorists should persist in
training WAGNER pirates into observ-
ance of the primary road laws.
Before passing from the rear al
ways give the passing signal OF two
short honks-not Jay, rube, screech.
but polite signal like that given by
locomotives. at railroad crossing.
The laws Of many states require this
horn signal before passing, and at
any rate IL in safe, sane and sensible
and used by all drivers of the four
hundred OF motordom-
When overtaken, pull out far to the
right or speed up and keep far
ahead OF the other car until 1t turns
off or stops.
Passing at right angles at intersec-
tons is another story for another
day.
