WE LOVE AMERICA
IS BELG|UM'S CRY
1000 Tons of Food and
Clothing Will Pass Through
Antwerp Daily.
CHEERFUL, BUT NEEDY
BY OLIVER OWEN KUHN.
Stan Correspondent of The Star.

| ANTWERP, March 15.-Antwerp is
the mouth of Belgium. Through it
are passing the food stocks that to-
| day are keeping the nation alive until
the day it can resume it's more or
less Independent position in the eco
nomic world. Here come the immense
stocks of food from America and Eng
land. Here these are distributed and
shipped out to all sections of the
country by barge over the pictur-
esque canals and the still crippled rail-
roads. Into this port have been con-
stantly plying more than thirty ships
across the broad sides of which are
painted the sign Relief for Belgium. !"
Through Antwerp an average of
seven thousans tons of foodstuff and
clothing for the Belgians will pass
daily possibly until August, when the
relief work will be reduced to the mini
mum and instead of great quantities of
stores SO charitably contributed. raw
materials from all sections of the
world which will be utilized by the
Be1gians in the rehabilitation of
their industrial and economic life
will begin to flow into the country
over the docks at Antwerp in con-
stantly increasing streams.
Awaits Demands.
Vast quantities of foodstuffs lie on
the docks of Antwerp. These will be
distributed as demands warrant Up
until the time arrives when Bel
gium will be more or less sustain
ing the $50 canal boats and barges
used by the Americans in their relief
work will penetrate to the more in
land sections. During the month of
March $4,000 tons of wheat 1000 tons
of bacon. 10000 tons of rye and 1900
tons of Is ed arrived in Antwerp for
distribution under the auspices Of the
national committee of Belgium, in
which the Americans now are CENTER
ing much of their work. England,
Notwithstanding her own shortages
and economic sufferings. continues to
show an unexampled spirit of mag
great quantities of foodstuffs into
Belgium that national life of these
peoples who threw their bodies across
the pathway of the Hun may be sus-
tanned.
The exacting privations of the Bel
g1an people from an economic stand
point cannot be over-emphasized
How helpless they are, owing to the
ruthless exploitation and robbery of
the country by the Germans, cannot
be realized until one has traversed
the country, talked with the peasants
ana the people of the more populous
towns. How great is their gratitude
,or the assistance that has been ten
1ered by the outside world cannot be
realized until one has met them and
seen quivering lips and
or marked faces as these simple but
brave people tell Of their past suffer-
nsE and tremblingly voice their ever
asting thankfulness to those peoples
who, in better circumstances. have
them a helping hand. Not !

wild Stories" Come to us.
wild stories have reached this
country about the peace conference,
from what Information I could gain
from men in position to know there
need be no fear. The peace treaty
will be ratified.
Frances attitude is being looked
upon askance in some quarters" he
said. The opinion prevails in France
that that country will follow the lead
or President Wilson. Lloyd George
mas done this from the beginning of
proceedings. and it is quite clear that
Premier Clemenceau will not hold ont
against such odds.
another reason why France in all
probability will follow the lead of
England and the United States is that
the people of France idolize President
Wilson. This feeling has reached a
point nearly of superstition Mr..
wilson is considered the worth of
100000 fighting men. both by France

titude and ideals in the effort to hrin,

WILL RESIST CONFERENCE
BY PAUL SCOTT MOWRER,
Cablegram to The Evening Star and
Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1919.


LYON, France. April 4.-Bela Kun's
recognition of the Ukrainian soviets
and proffer of a defensive offensive
alliance forms new link in the
chain with which bolshevism is try
ing to bind eastern and central Eu-
rope. The fourth point of Bella Kun's
proposition of alliance is full of dyna-
mite. 1t reads:
Each of the allied confederated So
ciallst republics (Russia. Ukrainia and
hungary will be obliged to furnish to
the other allied republics it's full mate
ria! aid for the protection of their terri
tories and for cOmbats against the an
nexationist and imperialist tendencies Of
the neiShboring middle class republics
and first of all against Poland and Ru
mania, as will follow the struggle
against interior counter revolutionary
lnsurrections which threaten the exist
ence of the soviet republics"
Allies Conciliatory.
Thus while the allies. and particularly
the United States. adhere strictly to the
polcy OF non-interference in Hungarian
affairs. the Hungarians are trying t.
form military alliance which will en-
able them to resist the mandates Of the
peace conference with regard to the
kumanlan and Polish frontiers or any
other questions directly concerning
them. The conciliatory policy adopted
by the allies is shown by the counter
manding of the original order under
which Gen. Mangin was to reorEanize
the Rumanian army. Instead they are
sending Gen. SHUTS to confer with the
bolshevists in Budapest
After three months of talk and good
intentions, both the Rumanian and POL
ish army are without sufficient equip
ment. many Of the soldiers lacking even
shoes. The secrecy with which the
council Of four is working may cloak
some brilliant diplomatic schemes; on
the other hand. it may cloak a policy
based on nothing more solid than dis
cord, indecision and compromise. The
peoples whose fate is at stake have no
recourse but to wait and see.

Urban Population Dependent.

The conditions in the larger towns
are more striking. Here the people
have no opportunity to grow the
things which they eat. They are
wholly dependent upon the relief or
ganizations and government allow
ances Of q francs for two weeks 1t
is in the towns that there resides the
majority of the more than 1000. 900
unemployed. Here the relief organ
izations are taxed to meet the de-
mands that are placed upon them.
Foods are rationed systematically
through the instrumentality Of various
government food stations. Men, women
ard children go to the central distribut-
ing stations daily. Those that cannot
purchase it are given soup, bread and
small quantities Of dried vegetables and
meat infrequently.
The government through systematic
organization sees to it that there is no
imposition. Those that are working and
can pay are forced to do SO.

Soul-Stirring Gratitude.

But we would have died had it not
been for America
Then some. in wistful, sould-stirrins
way would say, I'VE love America
Before Belgium can feed herself
Belgium must have agricultural ma
chinery. for the Germans carted away
practically everything that could be
utilized in the tilling of Belgian
fields.
In the rural regions, from which the
future food Of the nation must come. the
peasants are improvising all sorts
OF tools and are getting ready for
the planting season which is close
At hand. If they have not seeds with
which to plant their crops these are
furnished through the government.
During the period of occupation the
Germans carried away more than 148, 900
horses, $4,000 cattle. and 1,179,0OO
pigs. so the position of Belgium from
the standpoint of labor animals and
meat stocks may be seen at a glance.

today is the picture version of Robert
McLaughlin's famous playa story
that deals with and strikes directly al
human sympathies.
Elijah Bradshaw, the most power
full man in Edinburg, organizes a re-
form movement to rid the city of its
evils as nae been done in every age
before him. But his own daughter
has stepped to h brink of ruin and
the discovery brushes him.
As he sinks into a stupor the Mag
dalene. comes to him. h leads him
through a panorama of life in which
she reveals to the stern man the de
spair and hardships he is bringing to
others But it is not until misery i;
driven home to hime that charity
finds a way into his heart. The Mag
dalene shows him his own daughter,
cast out and homeless. seeking refuge
from the mob.
Then he awakes to find that he has
been dreaming. But the Magdalene
has sown the seed of charity. He re-
Tents and takes his daughter back and
the reform movement he had started
is put aside.
