He is the brother of General Otto von Below, who was in command of the Austrian troops on the Italian front time dispatches from the Piave. It was Lord Cavan who stopped the Austrian smash on the Piave. Hans von Below was with his brother in manner Lord Cavan and von Below discussed the Piave combat and told each other how it had been done. Each explained to the other how mis- takes had been made. and each had words of praise for the other for some particularly brilliant stroke re- called. At the conclusion of the luncheon was one of the most enjoy new British friends and said that the lunchean was one of the most enjoy able Of his career.
 Admires Americans
 General von Below arrived in New York from Europe month ago and has been in Washington for brief stay. Commenting on his American visit, General von Below said:
 My plans are g. bit vague as yet. am here because my wife is an American. My being here has no of fcial significance. I am a soldier and never have been connected with politics. I have no connection with the present German government, and, what is more, do not wish to have"
 The generals wife was formerly Miss Brice, of South Carolina
 During the war General von Below commanded troops in both the East ern and Western theatres After the armistice he was a Ieutenant-gener in command of the 51st Army Corps, and remained with his forces on the Rhine until after the revolution,when his command was demobilized. He then discarded his uniform and, as he says, never to put it on again."
 'I was fearful lest Americans might make l-y visit uncomfortable for me-" the general said. ''But am astounded with the degree of sports chivalry, tact and courtesy with which I have been received ev- anywhere. My admiration and re- spec for Americans is now bound less.

 Friendly Rivalry.
 The luncheon had all the charac- teristics of a group of college fotbal1 players meeting after a bitterly fought gridiron duel discussing good natur- edly the technical features of the bat tie There was friendly rivalry but no bitterness.
 Under the spell of coffee and the lure Of long cigars the conversation between the generals drew out tales of daring and doing deeds that were done with vengeance, and mishaps sometimes humorous, that had block ed the mighty drive of the Prussians or mayhap weakened the ranks of the Allies. The luncheon table became as council table and in their minds eye they must have seen each other garbed in wartime cloth. The in- cense of cigars took on the appearance or battle smoke and the knives and forks were formed into battle lines and regimental arrays in the explana- ton of maneuvers.

ROME. Dec. Is (By The Associated

afternoon, a few hours after his return

appeal for World Aid

BERLIN, Dec. 1.-Two thousand
physicians and surgeons from all parts
Of Germany, meeting at the University
Of Berlin TO discuss the prevailing ma
tional distress, to-day adopted a reso-
luton calling on foreign countries for
assistance, this not 20 be In the form
Of charity, but rather In such shape as
will enable the Germans themselves to
cope with the situation.
The resolution emphasizes that a
large section Of the populaee Ia on the
verge Of physical collapse through the
housing shortage and lack OF food

peoples TO investigate the dire ealAm-
ity facing the masses In Germany this

scurvy and other serious types Of i'll
meas.
Although no specific mention Is made
In the resolution Of the relief measures
desired, II Is understood the delegates
favored loan from abroad as one OF
the most feasible means Of assistance
Prof. Krautwig, Of Cologne, was
loudly applauded when he expressed
gratitude for the ehild-feeding and
other forms Of charity provided by
Americans in Germany. He added,
however, that the Germans would be
even more grateful II the United
States would do something which
would enable the Germans themselvss
10 handle the problem Of need.
Professor Krautwig portrayed the
sorry plight Of tho German children
and the gravity Of the present lack Of
milk, foodStuhs. clothing and fuel
among the poor, not only for the people
Of to-day, but for the coming genera
tion. He said that what was needed
was peace In economics, politics and
health"
Or. Hugo Dippe, president Of tho
German League OF Medical Assoeia-
tions, asserted that Germany's cryina
need was "air and elbow room" He
impressed on the physicians the i'm.

with the increasing sickness due to
economic distress, which lowered the
powers Of physical resistance.
