Serious Food Shortage

Red Cross Problem

BERLIN, June PA serious food
shortage in Belgium, particularly in
the rural regions, was reported yes
terday by observers In Brussels
watching the little kingdom try to
adjust itself to German occupatio
The German Red Cross, financed
domestically and from abroad, was
reported attempting to forestall q
critical situation and German relief
was said to be reaching Belgium in
increasing quantities.
Belgium, which previously i'm
ported much food by sea, now is
closed off by the British blockade,
and in the confusion of the war
appears unable to adjust itself to
the purely continental economy In
time to replace fully the supplies
formerly brought by ships.
Red Cross Helping.
The Red Cross in the country dis
tricts is distributing bread, biscuits,
condensed milk and canned foods.
Sugar. butter. eggs and cured meat
generally are scarce. Clothing is
less urgently needed.
The food problem is bound up with
the refugee question. Thousands of
Belgian residents left their homes
before the swift German thrust and
great quantities of food were re-
ported destroyed to prevent the sup
plies from falling into German
hands.
The Germans, however, appropri-
ated food stored in unoccupied
houses on the ground the owners
had departed for an extensive stay
in France and such food should be
preserved.
Consequently, when thousands OF
fugitives went home, they found
their stocks of foodstuffs largely
vanished-and shopkeepers explain
ed helplessly that the usual supplies
from overseas had been cut of
abruptly.
The situation is worse in the coun-
try districts because, for reasons the
Belgians are Nunable to understand
fully, fewer city dwellers had left
their homes.

iting the calling of men to military
duty IN peacetime, during the winter

barracks. He asserted that during
