WASHINGTON, Nov. 11.-Herbert Hoover chairman of the committee for relief in Belgium, in a statement tonight. denied press dispatch from Paris that the shortage of food in Belgium was due to lack of funds. He pointed out that the s75.OO0, 900 loaned by the United States to Bel gium and France for carrying on the relief work has not been exhausted and that the scarcity of shipping and delays consequent to submarine ac- tivities have been responsible for the shortage

ID ARRANGE WITH GERMANY AS ID HOW

IRepublican A.P. Leased WIre]


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The Unit ed States iias opened negotiations with Germany for an agreement to govern treatment Hf prisoners or war. This is being done not only to secure the best possible conditions for American prisoners but to show how we'll German prisoners in the United States are being treated. Already, through the Red Cross at Geneva the United States has begun forwarding necesSaries 10 Americans held in Ger many, of whom there are now more than 100. It is realized that as the American troops increase in number on the battle front. more prisoners are bound to find their way to the Ger man prison camps.
 nation pnched for food for itself, probably will feed it's enemy prison CTS last. To tighten the confinement of Americans will at the same time alleviate the suffering of families at home, which naturally would be dis tressed at accounts of German under feeding of prisoners.
 German military prisoners of war in the United States, besides receiving every necessity and comfort, have the privileges of their rank. They are housed in model sanitary camps and recently one of the prisoners, sending a letter to his prospective wife in Germany, wrote that the pay he would accumulate during his imprisonment would not only permit him to retire from the navy. but would set them up in a little business as well.
 Photographs showing the comforta- ble surroundings of interned German prisoners in this country have been forwarded to Germany by the war de- partment through the state department and a neutral agent. They are in- tended to reveal the expectation of the United States that similar consid eration will be shown American sol diers and sailors who may be captured by Germany.
 Two classes of German prisoners are detained in this country. One is com-

CITY MAY HAVE
NEW HOTEL

According to report. Waterville is to
have a fine new hotel in the early
spring. 1t was stated on good authority
Tuesday that on his return from the
South Hon. William T. Haines would let
the contract for a large five-story hotel
which will be built on his lot at the cor
ner Of Appleton and Main streets. 1t is
understood that the theatre will be To-
Gated on the Main street side of the lot
and will be at the back end next to the
Judge Shaw house and that the hotel
will occupy the whole of the remainder
of the lot and will also extend above the
theatre. According to report it will be
one of the finest appointed hotels in the
State of Maine Mr. Haines left town
Tuesday morning so no confirmation OF
the report could be secured from him.
But the source Of the rumor was such
that it is certain something in that line
is being contemplated. To most people in
the CITY il would seem that there is plen-
" of room in the city for another hote:,
as the Elmwood is always crowded and
II is frequently necessary to turn people
away Travelling men make it point
to stop in Waterville whenever possible
as the hotel here is one of the most pop
ular in the State. 1t is also felt that
there would be an increase in the tourist
business here if there were hotel accom-
modations for them

The agitation caused by the rumor
that all local grocers would soon take
off their delivery teams has subsidized
by the assurance that the movement
has been reconsidered and that the
teams will continue to do service for

felt by the large population of house
keepers who depend so much upon the
deli|ery service by the grocerS and
market men during the severe cold
weather and bad travelling of many
months of the year.

Toxic, Jan. 23.-Japan is confronted
with an internal political crisis. The
opposition to the administration OF
Count Terauchi has opened a vigorous
campaign on the ground that the Ter
auchi non-partisan cabinet was form
ed in violation of the spirit of the con-
stitution. The Constitutional party,
which has majority in the House of
Peers and is under the leadership OF
Viscount Kato, former minister of for
eign affairs, has joined hands with the
Nationalist group in the lower House
for war against the premier.
The battle will be fought out in the
Diet, which re-conveneS today. Count
Terauchi and Viscouht Motono, for
eign minister, will deliver addresses in
defence of the administration. The
press expects the outcome of the cri-
sis to be dissolution and a new cleo
ton.
In his address in the House of Peers
Premier Terauchi expressed satisfaction
that Japans relations with the treaty
powers other than the participants in the
war are more and more cordial" He
declared that Japan was working in I'M
reserved unison with the Allies and said
that Germany's proposal was rejected
because it was not inspired by sincere
desire for peace In view of the masni-
tude of the war the premier urged the
nation to stand united irrespective or
class or politics. and to adopt post bel
lum policies which would protect the
prestige and lasting interests Of the me-
pire and remove all causes of danger to
peace in the Far East.
The premier declared that the govern
ment was paying particular attention to
its relations with China and would spare
no pains to cultivate neighborly relations
