SUPPLIES ARE NEEDED

NEW YORK, May 8.-The German U-boat menace has made the food situation in Belgium and Northern France one of extreme gravity, the mortality among adults in the indus trial districts having multiplied by three during March and April, ac. cording to Herbert c. Hoover, who has arrived from Europe on an Amer ican ship.

 "The food situationFin Belgium and Northern France requires every eff fort we can make" he continued. He does not intend to relinquish his po- sition as head of the Belgian com mission.
 "At present it is one of extreme gravity on account of the U-boat menace, which has increased alarm ingly during the past eight weeks. Wheat and corn are badly needed and also pork and beef.
 "The commission by March l had struggled to it's feet again after re- ceiving the knockout blow of the submarine decree of February |. Since March 1 we have lost five loaded boats, but in March and Alp Til 60,000 tons of foodstuffs were landed. But this 60,000 tons was 20, ,O0O tons less than we actually re- quired. Because of the shortage. the mortality in industrial districts mul- tiplied by three. The children, how ever, did not suffer. They are al ways looked after first.
