100000, and have picked up several
thousand of them for their army by

HOOVER COMPLETES
EUROPEAN SURVEY
SUPPLIES MUST BE INCREASED
TO TIDE WINTER IN BEL
GUM HE SAYS.
Additional Shipping of 10000 Tons
Needed to Carry Clothing and Food,
Report States-Work of American
Relief Officials Praised.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, ID. C.-Physical dam
age wrought in Belgium by the Ger
man armies is described in cable
gram received by the Food Admins
tration from Herbert Hoover, who,
with William b. Poland, European di-
rector of the Commission for Relief
in Belgium, just has completed sur
yey of conditions in this liberated
country. On the. basis of Mr. Hoover's
report, the Food Administration an
nounced today that hereafter 10000
tons of supplies, including clothing,
would be shipped to Belgium each
month. AS this program will require
100000 dead weight tons of shipping
In addition to the 100000 tons now on
charter to the Relief Commission, ap-
plicatiOn for additional tonnage has
been made to the Shipping Board.
The cost of the entire relief program
will be borne by the Belgian and
French Governments from loans made
by the American Government. Frances
part of the expense will be for supply
ing the people of Northern France as
well as several hundred thousand ref
ugees who were forced from that sec
tion into Belgium during the retreat
of the German forces.
Mr.. Hoover's report on this survey
of Belgium says:
Together with Mr. Poland, Euro
pean director of the Commission for
Relief in Belgium, have completed a
survey of the entire Belgian situation
as disclosed by the evacuation. The
work of the American relief officials
in Europe during the past month has
been beyond all praise, because they
have followed up the retreating army
with distributions, by one means or
another, and there has been no break
in the food supply at any point.
prior to the signing of the armis-
tice the Germany army had destroyed
a zone of railroads and canals 20 miles
wide, extending across Belgium. After
the armistice was signed there was
comparatively little destruction of
transportation to the rear of this zone,
and with the rapid rehabilitation of
| transportation facilities across this
| zone of destruction the problem of
iisfrib1fion can be un1tf rsrf u It'll h
less difficulty than at present The
Germans in their final retreat removed
but little of the relief supplies. Their
action toward the native harvests and
cattle in their withdrawal differs wide
ly in different areas They started to
take all remaining hogs from the west
ern part of Belgium, except those hid
den by the peasants in underground
caves.

Not So Bad.

This story of an experience that be- fell story writer is attributed by an Illustrated Sunday magazine to we'll known story writer:
 The author was giving lecture one evening on the characteristics and sur roundings of the class of people with whom he had dealt in one of his recent books. An old Scotchman. who sat near the front, watched the man with a disappearing manner. At the close of the lecture the Scotchman made himself known to the writer.
 Sir" he said slowly, after he had shaken the authors hand solemnly. "I have read all your books up to now and like them fairly well. Man, you wouldna gie up writin' and talk to speakin' to get your Twin, would yep
 "No, indeed" replied the young man, You think 1t would be unwise, take It."
 sIt would be sac great mistake that I felt I must tell ye ma thought as an honest man," said the Scot. with great earnestness. "I thought to myself, He may need just a word to set him night. and I'll not deny it to him.. There was one Q your books

GERMANS LEAVING

MARSHAL HAIG'S FORCES CON. TlNuE TO ADVANCE IN THE
 MELVILLE SECTOR.
ALLIES GAIN DETECTIVES
Enemy Troops Now Falling Back Be- long to Sixth German Army, Com manded By General von Quast-
 Abandon Designs On Calais.

With the British Army in France Field Marshal Haig's forces continued to advance throughout the day in the Merville sector of the Lys salient They are closely following the retir ing Germans, who seem to have gone back to an extreme depth of between three and four miles and are still showing no inclination to come to q halt. Especially to the south of this sector, the Germans have left behind them numerous lines of retardiug wire entanglements.
 British, in their advance near Vieux-Berquin, gained all their ob. jectiyes. The enemy troops now falling back belong to the Sixth Ger man army, commanded by General yon Quasi
 British patrols have maintained a steady pressure on the retiring Ger mans and have inflicted considera ble casualties. The enemy manifestly continues to be in a nervous state.
 Field Marshal Haig has sent tele- gram ot congratulations to General Rawlinson, commander of the Fourt l British army, reading as follows:
 ''Warmest congratulations and thanks to yourself and staff and all ranks on the magnificent success re- gently gained by the Fourth army The brilliant manner in which the op- eration was prepared and sueeeSsful- ly carried out at comparatively small loss by the Third Australian and Canadian corps, in conjunction with is striking tribute to the skill of the leaders and the bravery of the individual soldiers, as well as to the high state of efficiency of the staff5 and department services concerned. The gallant and skillful cooperation of the armored cars and motor ma chine gun batteries is worthy of,the highest praise"
 By withdrawing their forces in the Merrille sector of the Lys salient, the Germans definitely have given up one of the points from which a drive for Calais logically would be launch ed This is taken to indicate that the German high command has, at least for the time being, abandoned hope of reaching the coast and now, per haps, is chiefly concerned with get ting the German lines back to place of greater security.
 The withdrawal here has been ex- pected for some time and it continued last night and today even on slight ly broader front than that of yester day. The retirement marked the col- elusion and failure of the effort which Germany launched early in the spring to finish off the British army by driving through to the sea-
