Plans for the relief OF the 10,O00,0O0
Belgians and French people now with
in territory occupied by the Germans
contemplate the shipment In the next
twelve months Of 42,500,000 bushels OF
wheat, 100000 bushels Of beans,
100000 bushels OF rice, 26,400,000
pounds OF corned beef, 277 100000
pounds of pork products, 6600O,00O
pounds OF soap, 26,000,000 pounds OF
coffee, 1s,OO0,O0O pounds of cocoa,
55,OO0,00O pounds Of condensed milk
and 100000 pounds Of sugar.
This amount of food, together with
the native produce, gives an average
ration Of about 1000 calories-about
half the consumption Of the American
people.
This program is estimated to cost
during the twelve months, for purchase
and transportation, approximately
$2S0,000,O00. The finance has been ar
ranged on the basis Of advances to be
made by loans from the United States
to the Belgian and French govern
ments In amounts sufficient TO pay for
the material purchased in the United
States. The British and French gov
ernments are advancing in Europe the
sums necessary meet the expendi-
lures made tho Dlst'N shipping and for
foodstufrs rmeuit. Oh other quarters
than the Uni;slJ States.
In addition to the feet controlled by
the relief commission the United
States and allied governments are plac-
ing at It's disposal 100000 tons of ship
ping recently obtained from the Swed-
ish government for nonwar zone pur-
poses. The commission announces
that besides the food which 1t intends
furnishing these stricken people there
will be needed for them about 10000
tons of clothing and cloth. Through
the cooperation of the Red Cross
about 5000 tons of these supplies have
been collected and the work of collec-
ton still continues.

Seven thousand men at Kelly field,
division of military aeronautics, last
month saved articles which in other
times would be regarded as junk, but
which brought the government $4,000.
Some of this refuse was old paper, oil
barrels, straw, bags, garbage, tin cans
and metals.
In addition, great piles of old cloth
ing, tents, motorcycle parts, airplane
fittings, engine parts, rubber tires and
the like were saved. ''Don't throw it
away" is the slogan which is prompt
ing the accumulation and sale of
masses of materials at this and other
camps.
The fruit and milk cans that the
Kitchen police" smash every day, for
example, bring considerable money to
the government. They sell at SIG
ton. Kelly field ships them by the car
load to copper reinerles, where they
are thrown into fumes and serve to
collect millions Of molecules Of copper
that would otherwise be washed away.
The cans are then heated, the copper
separated from the tin and marketed.
How to conserve clothing and shoes,
lumber and equipment is taught the
soldier, who is not slow to see the adj
vantage in dollars to himself as well
as to the government. 1t is intended
soon to open shoe repair shops and
