of the first steps.
There was every indication today
that the pending army appropriation
of $327,000,000 will not stand. Just

wants the army to do. and what sys-

COLLECTION OF SUPPLIES.
Though the last congress failed to
pass the army appropriation measure,
this fact does not hinder the collection
of needed army supplies. On the con-
trary, contractors are taking contracts
without signatures, realizing that they
will be paid when the bill passes the
new congress.
Hence, the quartermaster and ord
nance branches are going ahead thor
oughly and efficiently. Secretary
Baker said tonight that all the army
measures which failed of passage are
being inspected and will be presented

CHICAGO PLANNING

Chicago March 2i.-Plans for a

The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That our country Is on
the verge OF war. The crisis demands
immediate expression by all patriotic
American citizens of their sentiments
and desires. We urge upon congress
and the president that they imme :
diately take vigorous and effective
steps to protect American lives, prop

fused to accept 1t. Messrs. Ryland and
Swendsen manifest a very keen inter-
est in the location of their client on
this lease and I believe the following
is the underlying cause of their ac-
tivity: $1,000 to be paid to them by
Mr.. Stoddard IL they succeed in locat-
ing him on said land.
Perhaps some of these things should
not be mentioned in a report of this
kind but / believe you should know
every phase of the question. If I am
wrong l will gladly stand correction,
but ! do not like to see people sacri-
flee principle for personal interests and
expect their friends to help them pull
it over. Therefore, l recommend that
Mr.. Stoddard pay to Mr. Martineau
the sum OF 1854 in the event of lease
being eventually awarded to him.

APPEAL IN BEHALF
OF BELGIAN PEOPLE

New York, March 24.-An appeal TO
the American public to redouble their
efforts in feeding the 100000 starving
Belgians was voiced by Alexander j.
Hemphill, treasurer of the American
commission fer relief in Belgium, to-
night. In spite of the withdrawal of
Minister Brand Whitlock and the
Americans now working in Belgium,
the commission is going on with its
work. Further contributions are need
ed Immediately. The commission is
maintaining it's offices in New York,
London and Rotterdam Officials of the
Dutch government will replace the
Americans Withdrawn.
In his statement, Hemphill declared
that the vast sums already sent from
the United States had barely covered
the cost of distributing the supplies to
the stricken people of France, and that
England supplied much of the food.
