DENIES FOOD FROM j. S.

Belgian Cabinet Minister, in Mes
sage to Senator Calder, De-
nounces Report as Falsehood.

PARIS, March 5.-Emi1 Tranquil, a
member of the Belgian cabinet and
at one time chairman of the Belgian
national relief committee, announced
today that he had sen, the following
message to United States Senator Will
liam NJ. Calder at Washington. under
date of March 4;
"I am shocked by reports that you
have moved an investigation of the

France in such bad condition that it
noisoned my countrymen. How could
such lies be received seriously?

"During four years Of the German
occupation !, myself was head of the
organization which co-operated with
in Belgium with the American relief
commission. I have had daily knowl-
edge Of the quality. use and effect of
the precious food which saved my ma
ton and the lives of the people in the
occupied parts of France, / bitterly
resent, and my countrymen are filled
with sorrow, that responsible men
should lend their ears to detestable
siander against Americans who gave
us four years of their life, strength
and talent. feel that 1t would belit-
tie their services to deny gossip, yet
1t is impossible to let it pass
Wherefore, for myself and for my
country l emphatically protest against
this tissue of falsehoods. Seven mill
lions of my countrymen and $500. 900
inhabitants of northern France are
alive, which is proof that none starved
and that none was poisoned. If l
should say more, IL would be to cry
shame against those few Americans
who would besnuirch the noblest thing
which came out of the war and the
noble character brought out by the
work of the commission for relief in
Belgium through its tens of thou
sands Of unselfish workers in America
