Pitiable Condition of War Vic
TINS Described in Message
From Hoover.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - Relief
work being carried on in Northern
France by the Commission for Relief
in Belgium and the pitiable condition
of the 100000 inhabitants OF that
section who escaped the German in
vasion are described in a cablegram
received at the headquarters of the
commission here from Herbert c.
Hoover, who is In Paris
Mr.. Hoover's message, made pub
lie last night, revealed that the work
OF relief and rehabilitation in France
will fall more heavily on the commits
sion than had been expected. The
destruction wrought by the German
army was so complete, Mr.. Hoover
said, that the relief work must include
not only food and clothing, but hous-
ing over a considerable area.
An enlarged organization to handle
the situation is being built up and
supplies have been obtained from the
Quartermaster's Department of the
American Army. A large amount OF

LONDON, Jan. 2-One of the great
est perils to allied submarines during
the war was attack by friendly des-
troyers. A submarine was assumed
to be an enemy when sighted by the
ships of any allied ma ton and it was
up to the submarine to show recogni-
ton signals if she was not German.
But if it was a destroyer that sight
ed the submersible she was always
making for the little craft by the
time the recognition signals could be
shown. A slight hitch in getting up a
fla or firing rocket would mean the
submarine would be forced to seek
safety beneath the surface.
Probably the last attack of this sort
was made by American destroyers on
new British submarine of large
type. She was being tested when
sighted by the destroyers and they
made for her full speed. Something
happened to the signal system and
the underwater vessel submerged as
depth charges began to tear up the
water. One charge shook her until
the crew thought she was doomed.
The submarine was constructed to
dive 800 feet but that was forgotten
as charge after charge exploded near
by. Finally she struck bottom at 300
badly damaged. She was kept on the
bottom until her commander was GER
tain the destroyers had gone. Then
she was cautiously brought to the
surface.

NO RENT CHARGE

Commissioner.

(By Associated 7ress)

PARIS, Jan. captain Andre Tar
lieu. head Of the general commission
for Franco-American war matters.
speaking to The Associated Press to-
day relative to certain rumors which
had been in circulation in Paris, de-
MED to officials that the army had
been required to pay rent for the
trenches 1t occupied at front or for
territory occupied militarily behind the
front.
Numerous reports of French, as
well as American and British origin"
he said, have revealed to us that Ger
man propaganda Is not dead and the
work of It's organization is making it.
self felt. One indication among many
others. Is found in the persistence OF
this absurd rumor. 1t Is almost incon-
ceivable and ] would not take the
pains to deny it If were not inform
ed that 1t is still in circulation today.
II has been said that when American
troops took up new sector on our
front they had to pay rent to the
French government, and when troops
captured ground from the enemy in
battle they had to pay rent for the re-.
conquered territory. I deny it Off
cially in the most categorical fashion.
Same for All Allies.
The rule followed since the Ameri-
can army arrived in France has been
inspired by an exactly contrary spirit.
When an American unit relieved the
French troops, the unit leaving the
sector passed over the material col
lected there. The same rule was In
effect when the French relieved the
Americans. In cantonments the req
uisition price paid for private build
ings is the same for the French and
allied armies. AS for hospitals, schools
and other public establishments, they
have been placed at the disposition Of
the American army gratuitously.
1T Is Germany who will pay the
var indemnities when claims shall be
established.
IN the rear zone all questions Of
indemnity to private parties are treat
cd on the same basis by the French
and allied armies. The regulation Of
these questions is vested with the
American staff bureau at Tours. All
claims are considered under the pro-
visions of the American law Of April
IS. 1918. The American staff is sole
Judge of all claims and no recourse
has been opened to claimants up to
this time for appeals from its de-
rision.
Besides, we have organized an adj
visory service to protect American
soldiers against exorbitant charges.
N addition to the aid given in the
supervision of prices on purchases by
the army, every possible effort has
been made to protect officers and sol
diers in their individual purchases
that could not be supervised by this
service.
Several DEGREES and ministerial
circulars have prescribed public post
ing Of prices"

kOX'S THEATER.

A double feature program of two splendid attractions reignS at Fox s theater for the last half of this week. Pictures that have proved their value in the big cities are the rule at this theater from now on. The leading screen attraction is the photoplay that has caused wave of comment across the continent-"Bil Apperson's Boy" The story is laid in the hills of Ken lucky and deals with one Buddy Ap- person, the sturdy son of a mountain ger, who clings with a loving and un- relenting tenacity to the memory of his dead mother. The action begins in earnest when Buddy's father re- marries and the boy seeks the sym pathy of his mountain sweetheart only to be accused of the robbery of her home. A rough-and- tumble fight between two husky mountain youths, bearded mountaineers searching with ready rifle for their opponents in a deadly feud, and many other exciting incidents of the Blue Ridge Mountains are frequent in this beautiful and quaint story of the most secluded and active people in this good old United States. Charlie Chaplin is also sched- uled in the Imaginable picture, "Police." Another of those side splitting Sunshine Comedies is on the bill. The Great Gamble" the serial with the volcanic action, is seen in it's fourth chapter and maintains the daring feats and gripping situations of the previous episodes. The News and a Mutt and Jeff cartoon complete the photoplay bill An exceptionally Well-selected vaudeville program, with such material as The Two Mac1s, Leonard and Fowler, Quin and Laferty and Isabel Dearmo, completes the bill.

pAEACE THEATER.

For many years a COmedienne sec- ond to none on the legitimate stage, Billie Burke has become equally famous in refined comedy in motion pictures. She has irresistible charm and artistry. and her character DOT trayals are distinguished by exquisite dalntiness and finish. Her chic, buoyancy and magnetism have won for her a clientele of such vast pro- portions as will insure her popularity as long as she chooses to devote her talents to the art she adorns. She is a deep student, a conscientious work CT, a jealous artist and her concep- tion of the individual requirements of each role she essays is splendidly rein forced by mim etic genius of the high est order. In her latest photoplay, Good Gracious, Annabelle." at the Palace theater, she has a delightful characterization which, doubtless, will be hailed as one of the finest achievem entS of her screen career.
 The vaudeville feature on the pro- gram is the newest sensation, "The League of Nations.' Also on the bill are Ergotte & Lewis, the men with the pole, and the Clovers, a clever trio of singers and dancers Mack Sen nett's comedy, No Mother to Guide Him."
