BELGIAN CABINETEER
DENOUNCES LIES ABOUT
RELIEF FOOD QUALITY

Paris, March 6.-Emile Tranquil,
a member Of the Belgian cabinet and
at one time chairman of the Belgian
national relief committee, has sent
the following message to United
States Senator William NJ. Calder at
Washington, under date OF March 4 4:
81 am shocked by reports that you
have moved an investigation OF the
statement that some American food
was sent to Belgium and northern
France in such bad condition that
it poisoned my countrymen. How
could such lies be received seri-
ously?
81 bitterly resent, and my coun-
trymen are filled with sorrow, that
responsible men should lend their
ears to detestable SANDER against
Americans who gave us four years
of their life, strength and talent.
"Thereiore, for myself and for my
country, | emphatically protest
against this tissue OF falsehoods
Seven millions OF my countrymen
and 2,500,00 inhabitants of northern
France are alive, which is proof that
none starved and that none were
poisoned

Eufaula, Ala, March 6.-Reports
today from the section swept yes

Five persons were seriously in

JUCO FOOD SUPPLY
WILL CUT OFF SHIPMENTS
FOR ITALIAN RELIEF
UNLESS OBEYED.

Washington, March 6.-Ttaly ha,
been warned by the American gov.
ernment that unless she puts an
end to delays in movements of re.
lief supplies to the newly established
Jugo-Slayic and Czecho-Slavic states
steps will be taken to cut off the
flow OF American foodstuffs to italy
Paris, March 6.--The British and
French delegates here have been
bitterly outspoken in the supreme
war council and the supreme eco.
nomic council in criticism of the
food blockade which the Italian gov
ernment is maintaining against Dal.
malta, Bosnia, Herzegovina. Croa.
tia and Slovenia. The new democ-
racies built out OF the old Austrian
empire are relied upon by the en-
tente as a protection against the
boIsheyiki wave, and the food short
age in them is creating chaos.
While the American delegates are
less outspoken than the British and
French regarding the Italian action
they are concerned over the situa.
ton, which is stopping all Amer-
can relief work.
Italy is entirely dependent upon
the United States for food staples
receiving credits through the Am
erican treasury with which to make
purchases. Italian relief supplies
cost $60,000000 annually, while the
relief OF the Czechs, Jugo-Slavs, and
Serbians costs the United States
about $20,000,00O monthly.
The persistence of the Italian
blockade and what is charged as the
efforts of Italy to obtain political
advantages are creating such Bit
terness that some OF the European
representatives are suggesting the
possibility of the disoontinuance Of
! American relief for Italy.

wireless message picked up here
alludes to threat made by Gen

explains that German firms con-

that a shortage of railway cars and

ENGLAND s BUSINESS
TO GET EVERY PENNY,
SAYS Mr.. BONAR LAW

London, March 6.-Andrew Bo-
mar Law, government leader in the
house of commons, replied last
night to some questions raised in
a debate on foreign affairs that has
been in progress in the house.
As regards bolsheyism, Mr.. Bo-
mar Law said that few people now
have any illustions about it. The
allies are agreed that something
must be done for Russia, not done
OF them, he declared, will recon-
mend dispatching the necessary
forces to Quell the anarchy there.
As to indcmnitics, Mr., Bonnr
Law said, the government realized
that the country expects to get
the best possible indemnities, from
Germany and he emphasized the
point that it is Great Britains bust
ness to get every penny it can, but
it is useless to hold out the hope
that the indemnities will wipe out
the country's immense war debt,
Mr.. Bonar agreed that it is urg-
cnt that peace be achieved quickly,
because there is real danger OF
Germany sinking into bolshevism,
Moreover he pointed out there is
the greatest necessity for the allies
to get their own trade and indus
tries going again. Therefore, the
sooner the blockade is ended, Civ

weapon can be depended upon, the
better it will be for Great Britain
