Bids Solemn Farewell to
u. S. Relief Work at
AstOr Gathering
GERMAN BAN MEANS
OTHERS MUST HELP
Declares There Is Food
in Country for Only
Two Months

Herbert c. Hoover, chairman of the
Commission for Relief in Belgium,
stood before six hundred men and wom-
en- gathered last night at the Hotel
Aston TO honor him and spoke solemn
farewell for Americas work of love IN
King Albert's kingdom.
The dinner was TO have been not only
a testimonial to Mr.. Hoover's untiring
efforts as head of the relief work IN
Belgium, but likewise an occasion at
which Americans could review the help
they had given a stricken people in the
past and to lay plans for continuing
this aid. Twenty-four hours before
the diners took their seats last night
the word flashed across the Atlantic
that Germany had ordered Americans
from Belgian territory.
Mr.. Hoover seemed deeply impressed
by the gravity OF the fate that hangs
over Belgium. He spoke last night
hesitatingly and brokenly, his voice so
weak that at times during his address.
it did not carry further than the first
tier of tables beneath him.
