mum runs SS a month. -..
Altoona clerks and individuals re-
ceived their first checks yesterday and
the men on the middle and other di-

Discredits Reports That
American Relief Workers
in Belgium Are Held

Washington, Feb. 10. - Reports
from Berne that American relief
workers in Belgium are held prisoners
by the German military authorities
were discrediated here to-day by Her.
bert c. Hoover, chairman of the Amer
ican Relief Commission. Mr.. Hoover
said he expected no difficulty in the
departure of the Americans from Bel
gium into Holland and hoped they all
would be out within a week. At
present there are AZ American relief
workers in Belgium.
Mr.. Hoover was in Washington con-
sultng with State Department officials
on the best way to reconstruct the re-
lief work which the German authori-
ties have forced the Americans to give
up.
1t is hoped that Dutch and Span
1Sh commission may take it over with
the work largely directed by Dutch
army officers although guaranteed by
the two governments.
Mr.. Hoover believes Belgium will
emerge from the war in better con-
dition economically than any of the
European neutrals provided it is not
destroyed by fighting. He estimated
that the Belgian per capita debt will
be about $3.50 while that of other bel
ligerents will jump to from $400 to
$500. Belgian industry is expected to
revive quickly after the peace.
Mr.. Hoover estimates that supplies
now in Belgium will last about six
weeks. German officials feel that the
supply will last while other arrange
mentS are being made.
