the dispatches in the News that the
activities Of the Belgium relief work
might be interfered with by the pres.

sixteen ships under way, and the
commission has every confidence that
the major part of them will reach
their destination.

Dutchmen and, perhaps, other neu-
trails, the control will remain in the
hands of our American director in
Brussels.

are anxious and have asked that an
American director remain in charge
