mittees it was learned today that 1ar
from stopping its work, the enforced
retirement of it's representatives from
Belgium because of the break be-
tween the United States and Germany
will serve as a stimulus to their Ell

food, clothing, etc, is now on hand
at the various depots of the relief
committee in Europe. The food will
prevent the poverty stricken belgian

other supplies will also last about that
long. After that time means must be
found to carry on the work started
by the American committee.

pressed the belief that their work is

be continued, however, is to turn the
vast machinery over to some neutral
nation. 1t is expected Spain will be
offered the opportunity of taking up
the actual work of distribution. The

it's entire attention upon the raising

villages and little country districts,
showing just where families needing
aid are located. One scheme consid-
cred is to suggest cities and towns in
this country, that they undertake the
support of certain community in
Belgium or northern France.
Under such a plan, it was pointed
out, clubs might be formed in towns
