of them contain alcohol. which pro-

BELGIANS LOOK
TOU. S. FOR FOOD
BY JOHN r. PARKERSON,
1. N. S. Staff CORRESPONDENT.

LONDON, Dec. 13-America's friend
~ hand was never more needed in
Belgium and northern France than
now. There are 9O0, 900 v7orkmen I'M
employed in Belgium, depending upon
small sums daily from the national
commission to keep the wolf from the
door. All are looking to America to
keep them going.
The enthusiasm in the first flush Of
allied victory is now giving way to
q realization of the appalling con-
ditions and the actual needs OF the
millions in Belgium and northern
France. A careful survey of the
territory and personal interviews
with King Albert and prominent Off
cials OF the American relief associa-
tions reveal the first authentic ac-
count of the situation, the Rcuteness
Of which has been accumulated by the
continued whining and dickering OF

On all sides anxiety is expressed
lest there be a slackening of food

ton of the critical period through
which this stricken land is passing.
When King Albert recently grasped
my hand at the conclusion of an in
terview he said:
81 knew Americans first as gener-
Gus friends Now / know them as
comrades in arms. / am proud TO
have commanded American troops in
the closing days Of the war"
Queen Elizabeth was deeply touched
at the memory of what America did
for Belgium.
81 will never forget Americas aid"
she exclaimed.
Look To America.
Then the Germans were still occu-
plying part OF Belgium. Now the
King and Queen are back with their
peoples but their hearts are sad at
the conditions they, found. They arc
looking to the United States now as
before.
A sample of German chivalry and
humanitarianism toward the stricken
people OF Belgium and northe5p
France was shown by this declara-
ton OF a high German officer to a
commissioner who was distributing
fooo:
81 am here as accompanying off,
Ger with you because I have got to
obey orders, but IL ] had my way /
would put all OF these people inside
barbed wire and let them starve to
death"
This German was not an exception
to the rule but one who was con-
sidered above the average officer in
intelligence.

new machinery, betting and tools in
the Belgian factories. largely through
the efforts OF President Wilson, be-
fore they can begin to operate
again.
