AS Ambassador
House Committee Approves
Bill to Raise Legation

and Italy Did Previously
Ne11 York Tribune

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Brand
Whitlocx may return to Belgium as the
first United States Ambassador to that
country, with a salary Of $17,50o, it
was learned to-day, following con-
ference between Mr.. Whitlock and
President Wilson and favorable re-
port by the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee upon bill already passed by
the Senate making the legation at
Brussels an embassy. Chairman Porter
of the committee will ask for prompt
action on the bill by the House.
In support of the bill President Will
son sent letter to Chairman Porter,
in which he paid high tribute to Bel
GUM and earnestly urged action by
Congress to follow the action already
the grade of the American representa-
tive to Belgium.
President Wilson's letter read:
81 have just approved an estimate
for an appropriation, prepared by the
State Department, for authorizing and
providing for raising the rank Of our
legation in Belgium to that of an en-
bassy. You will, no doubt. have no
ticcd that France and Italy have re-
Gently taken this action and it is au-
thortatvely announced that Spain and
Brazil will follow their example.
"It would be, it seems to me, very
proper thing at this time to show our
deep interest, at the conclusion Of the
war, in the little nation in which so
many of the causes of the war seemed
to centre and whose cause indeed will
always seem one of the most striking
eVdcncea of the sunscruDrlOus action
OF Germany.
"When I was in Brussels I stated
to the Belgian Parliament that it would
be my purpose to propose this action
on our part and earnestly urge it's ac-
ceptancc by the Congress. take the
greatest pleasure in doing this, and
hope that it will commend itself to
your judgment and to the judgment of

Survey of Pulp Wood

Senator Watson Says Nation

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-Beeause of
the decreasing supply OF American pulp
wood used in the manufacture Of news
print paper, Senator Watson, of In
diana, introduced a resolution in the
Senate to-day authorizing the Secre-
tary of Agriculture to make survey
and investigation Of the available pulp
wood timber supply in the United
States. The Secretary of Agriculture
also, under the resolution, is directed
to make recommendations for pulp
wood utilization. The sum of 100000
is asked to carry on the survey and in
vestigation.

manufactured from wood or pulp i'm
ported from Canada. One-third is made
in the United States from wood grown
in the United States. The former pro-
portion is steadily increasing; the lat
ter is steadily decreasing.
"Nearly all of the American news
print manufacturing industry is To-
Gated in the Northeastern states. Half
of it is in New York. But in the Pa
cifc Northwest-Washington, Oregon
and part of California and in the in
land empire or northwestern montana
ad Northern Idaho are great forests
that have been no more than touched
by the few pulp mills in that section Of
the country"
The Senator told the Senate that in
Alaska are enormous areas of forests,
the annual growth of which would sup
ply pulp enough for half of the news
print paper used in the United States,
but no pulp mills are there.
"a condition Of dependence upon for
eign supplies of newsprint," he said,
"carries with it serious possibilities,
not for consumers of newsprint
(chieAy our newspapers), but also for
other business interests and the pub
lie generally"
TO stimulate American production,
the Senator pointed out, the following
governmental policy should be carried
out: An adequate governmental survey
of American resources in this field
should be Immediately made, conserva-
ton Of forests in the pulp producing
regions, and development of the pulp
making industry in the Northwest and
in Alaska

RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMINEs
Shortages Of Food Date From 1900
5000, 900 Persons Reduced to Star
walton In Famine Of 1911.

Next to the proletariat Of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch OF poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other, says the National Geographic
society. One of the earliest Russian
GMmines on record was that Of 1900,
with q death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats, dogs and rats were eaten, and
even the strong Overcame the weak.
Human flesh was sold in the markets.
Three Russian famines OF recent
date were among the most severe in
hlstory-in 1891, 1905 and 1911. Dur
Ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly S125. 100000 for relief. but the
sums were not always judiciously ex-
pended. In 1905 the government gave
20 pounds of -four a month to all per-
sons under eighteen years old and over
nftY-nine. Those between these ages
received no allowance, and the older
and younger sharded their pittance
with the others.
The famine OF 1911 extended over
one-third the area of Europe and af-
fected 100000 persons, while g.
100000 were reduced to starvation.
Weeds, the bark Of trees, and bitter
bread made Of acorns, constituted
the chief diet.

FACTS AND FIGURES OF WAR
immensely Of Supplies Needed in Mod
ern Conflict Revealed by Sir
Douglas Haig.

These are some of the amazing facts
In Sir Douglas Haig's final dispatch:
General headquarters received 5000
kilograms in one day, and S.4OO let
ters by dispatch-riders. One army
headquarters had 10000 kilograms in
a day, and the daily kilograms on the
lines of communication were $4,000.
There were 1900 miles of telegraphs
and telephones, and 1888 miles Of rail-
ways, on which 1900 trains ran
weekly.
In six weeks 100000 rations were
supplied, by our armies in France, to
100000 civilians in the relieved areas.
Two hundred tons dead weight Of
supplies and stores were required
daily for the maintenance of each d.
vision.
The total daily ration strength Of
our armies was 2,7OOsOO0. An addi-
t1on Of one ounce to each mans ra-

| industry is the making of lead pen
ellis.
Derwentwater LoveIiest Lake.
But Derwentwater itself is the real
reward of the journey. It is generally
considered the loveliest of all the
lakes, and it is also the most accessf-
BILE, a good road encircling it. Beyond
Keswick we pass Greta Hall, once the
home of Southey, and come to Bas-
senthwaite Water. Preferably taking
the left-hand road, Skiddaw, 3,O54 feet,
| is seen across the water. Cocker
mouth is some six miles further.
Returning from that town, the other
side Of Bassenthwaite Water may be
taken, and the rest Of the way back
to Grasmere is Identical with the out
ward run. The distance, including
the circuit of Derwentwater, Is about
seventy-six miles.
| But Derwentwater is worth a more
leisured trip, for it's own sake. The
trip from Grasnere to Keswick and
the circuit of Derwentwater and back
is thirty-five miles. The advantages
are with the tourist proceeding to
Keswick and there turning left and
past the church, following the eastern
| side of the lake to Lodore, where the
Fails Of Lodore," sung by Southey,
will be found. Beyond we come to
Shepherds Crag, overhanging the road,
and past the BOrrowdale hotel and the
narrow pass called the "Jaws Of Bor-
| rowdale," whose rocks so greatly
alarmed Gray $50 years ago. At Grange
where the River Derwent flows out of
Derwentwater, the road abruptly turns,
to follow the western lakeside. In
the pleasant vale at Grange is that
giant rock, the "Bowder Stone"
The peculiar advantages of staying
| at Grasmere are many. Not least
among them is that within five miles
you have not only Grasmere itself,
rivaling Derwentwater for loneliness,
but Rydal Water, and the town of Am
bleside, with Windermere, the largest
and most popular of the lakes beyond.
All are within an easy walk for the
| tourist staying at Grasmere, who will
| scarce take out his car which he can
indulge in pleasant footpath rambles
for a change.
The car Is for farther afald. For
Ullswater. The out and horne run is
| f1fty-six miles. The best way from
Grasnere is to take the Windermere
road, as far as Waterhead; thence
turning to the left and up to Trout
beck. The nearer route, up from Am
bleside to Kirkstone Pass, is an ex-
eeedingly steep climb, but it can be
taken on the return.
On the way to Ullswater the gloomy
little mountain town Of Brothers Wa
ter is passed, and then comes the de-
scent to pleasant, sunny Patterdale.
Here the seven miles long lake of
Ullswater, the second longest of the
lakes, begins, skirted all the way by
delightful road, with the waterfall Of
Aira Force midway, spouting from its
woody glen. U1lswater ends at Pooley
Bridge, whence 1t is seven and half
miles into the quaint old market town
of Penrith, passing Yanwath Hall, now
farm house, but a good surviving
| specimen of the fifteenth century for.
titled border residence; and thence
over the ancient lamont Bridge, built
in 1925.

for most of the prevalent unthrift
