tude to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs Of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she. is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England. Frann the Netherlands
and Portugal,seH Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
Gus difficulties. The same is true Of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who

Most of Russia is already in the
throes of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility of

A food map Of Europe today shows
not a single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only sinai. part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated ON the farms, there is famine
In the large centers Of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest OF Europe
because they stand in different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
! after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included In this
! plan, are urgent in the extreme and
I must have immediate relief.
The gratitude Of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German

The German offensive, says the

maneuver, have been forced to at
tempt gigantic feat of ar ms to main
tain their domination. While the great
