Americans and Suffering Belgians. (Stockton (Cal.) Mail.) American charity is still finding its way into far-away Belgium. Perhaps it is the fact that Belgium was an innocent bystander, the victim of a cruel environment’ that appeals so mightily to Americans. However that may be, the fact remains that this country has not grown weary of feeding the Belgians. In a recent article written by H. Gailor, a Rhodes scholar, desc ing his three maonths’ experience Belgium under the Commission Relief in Belgium, the writer takes occasion to pay high tribute to the Commission’s work. ( The Belgians' appreciation of what American has done for them, he as- serts, is as enthusiastic and sincere today as in the earlier stages of their dire distress. Vast cargoes of flour and wheat shipped into the various provinces of Belgium have saved the lives of millions of peaple in that country, and he takes occasion to speak of the Belgiars’ belief in the of American flour. Pos- sibly this was regarded as over-en- thusiastic on thes part of the people, who for some time prior to receiv- ing the first consignment of flour from America had been subsisting on brown bread. The writer describes the work of feeding _the destitute in. Brussels, and says: “The .center of this work is the large storehouse -of the Mes- sagerie van Gand, whijch is now the main kitchen, where soup is made for 150,000 people every morning. The men in charge of the cooking are chefs from some of the leading hotels in Brussels, and most of them | are volunteers. Fifteen thousand | gallons of soup and large quantities of potatoes and boiled meat are cook- ed and sent out daily to the 26 sub- sidiary, canteens. = After the soup is cooked it is sent under the seals of the Cammission and the protection of the American flag.” Not a dollar of American money contributed to the relief of the Bel- gians has been, wasted or diverted from proper channels. The system for distributing food used by the Commission is a marvel of perfection. F. ib- in for The Stranger In Our Midst. (Collier’s.) It is a bad omen that the German papers published in this country con- tinue to view the whole controversy from the standpoint of Berlin. They are anxious about Germany’s inter- ests in conducting the war; they not anxious about the rights of the United States. Their editorials find satisfaction and’ gonvitcion in what- ever emanates from the Wilhelms+ strasse magnates, while they intimate very broadly that our Government is prejudiced, hypocritical, -unneutral, subservient to England, indifferent to fact, and so on, ad nauseam. Our freedom of the press enables them to malign ‘the - Administration at Washington, but does not enable them even to criticize fairly the rulers at Berlin. It is perfectly plain that in case of a break with Germany many of these so-called American Germans will be unable either to ‘curb _their zeal for the old country or to shake off their habit of implicit and in- | stinctive obedience to its orders. We i have had many examples of this late- ly in the endless small “accidents” 1n | war poverty of the United States, in | the bambs found on vessels lvm(\ln”} for England and France, and in the | foolish-frantic activities 6f all these | alleged peace, truth;:and neutrality leagues. These things may be only coincldencex but. there .are altogeth- | er too many such coincidences. 1t is ; high time that our citizens of Ger- | manic origin and Germanic‘ mpa- | thies pull themselves togcl and | show that they care about the Unitea | States.

There is a claim that Vasquez Tagle who was minister of justice in the cab- net of Madero, the last constitutional president, is entitled, as the sole sur- vivor of that cabinet who never aban- doned his office, to act as a provsional bresident, while there appears to be more or less of a movement in favor of Eduardo Iturbide as-a compromise candidate for president to be voted for at a constitutional election. This may be a mere hint toward a plan for ig- noring the rival military chiefs and seeking a way to establish a civil gov- ernment which may be “recognized’ and then sustaned.
