London, Sept. 21.—The Pall Mall | Tgazette, commenting upon the recent statement of Gottlieb Von Jagow, the ferman foreign minister, regarding 3 submarine poliey, in which Jagow suggested that it might be well for Great Britain to ‘revoke orders {nstructing shipmas- wiers to attack submarines whenever {possible, has this to say: | “The British answer to such diplo- jmacy is quite plain. We have beaten tho submarine campaign and would b2 indeed simple minded to give it fresh facilities by laying down the t7eapons by which it has been ren- Bered impotent.” The Gazette contends that the pro- visions which the foreign minister suggested for preventing the sinking of belligerent shipping without wari- ing is merely a German trap intend- ed, if Great Britain refuses to accept them, to persuade Americans that Germany has been driven against her will to continue ‘‘the infamous courses with which her naval flag is identi- fied.” HELD FOR SUPERIOR COURT.

UNITED STATES NOT | DOING ALL THE WOR Only $6,000,000 Contributed by This Country Towards Relief London, Sept. 21.—The first com- plete report of the commission of re- lief in Belgium, covering the first eight months of its existence, reveals that income and expenditure the or- ganization forms the greatest relief movement' of history. The comis- sion has collected and disbursed $50,- 000,000, $15,000,000 of which has been contributed in the form of money or gift food by the people ot the United States and the British empire and Belgium itself. Tht bulk of the income 'has come from other than purely philanthropic sources, but the raising of this enormous sum has been exclusively, the work of the commission, which by financial ar- rangements with Belgian individuals and institutions, exchange of currency with Belgium and a system of pro- viding the solvent Belgian inhabitants has maintained the entire population of a nation for almost a year. A remarkable feature of the report which has hitherto recelved but little totice is the effort being made by the Belgian to help themselves. Over fifty per cent. of the money expended by the commission in benevolence is being furnished by Belgians abroad, and a large amount also is being supplied by Belgians in Belgium, $6,000,000 From United States, In discussing the report Herbert C. Hoover, chairman of the commission said: “It may cause more surprise among Americans, who believe that the United States is provisioning the Belgian and French people in the track of war, that only something over $6,000,000 in food, clothes and money have come from the TUnited States. However, the American pub- lic should realize that the commission in its organization, working person- nel and political aspects is distinctly American. The American charitable support, so early and promptly given, came at the very inception of the movement when such backing was vital to the success of the organiza- tion in giving it time to build. This support gave the commission its foun- dation from which it acquired . the moral prestige that enabled it to se- cure vitally necesary concessions from the. various belligerent governments. Nor is the necessity for this valued support at all over. The problem be- comes more difficult every day for the number of destitute has increased from 1,000,000 last October to 2,750,- 000 in June, and now grows at the rate of 200,000 a month. And our re- sources large as they are cannot keep pace with the need if the charitable public loses interest in our work. Moreover, the continued support of America is necessary to provide the commission with the moral prestige as an American institution which it now possesses in the sight of the warring powers, and the mainten- ance of this prestige can only be se- cured by the continued sentimental and practical backing of the Amer- ican people.” 195 Cargoes Disposed.

Wel Wel s as complete accounts of the disposi- tion of 195 cargoes of foodstuffs and clothing, and other statistical data, as well as a general survey of the situa- tion in Belgium. It is pointed out that the organization as it stands now is the result of constant up-building a feature of which has been the or- ganization of local relief committees in practically every commune with a federal system of district and pro- vincial committees with the comite national at the apex. The relation of this structure to the commission is one of joint endeavor and the mem- bership of .Americans entirely inter- locks the organization. The relief operations are divided into three classes, one to provision the entire population, another to conduct financial relief and exchange opera- tions; and a third to care for the des- titute. “The provisioning department,” says the report, “is charged with the duty of revictualling the whole 7,000,- 000 people with necessary imports, and up to June 30 had either delivered or had in stock over 600,000 tons of foodstuffs for the Belgian section to | the gross value of over $45,500,000. The whole of these foodstuffs are re- sold to the population through a broad system of reticulations and tae profit earned on these operations is devoted to the support of the desti- tute. Such profits have been made possible by the volunteer executive. commercial and transportation ser- vices, and the amount of these prof- its—about $4,800,000 to date—is the measure of the value of such volun- tary service.” 2,750,000 Being Assisted. After referring to the work of tae financial relief and benevoleAt de- partments, the committee states that half a million people who might oth- erwise have fallen into destitution have been provided for through the remittances made available by this department, which to June 30 totalled about $20,000,000. “Through the benevolent depart- ment,” the report continues, “the charity of the world and of the Bel- glan people, themselves is mobilized to the support of the destitute, and through it over 2,750,000 persons are now being assisted in some measure with food and clothing. The total resources made available to the com- mission from abroad for the support of the destitute was over $31,000,000 to June 30, and the expenditure from these sources was at that date $25,- 000,000, and is now proceeding at the rate of about $5,000,000 per month. Beyond this expenditure lies local charity, new exceeding $10,000,000. The Belgian people have arisen to an unprecedented emergency with the ut- most devotion, and aside from local charity about fifty per cent. of the charitable funds of the commission from abroad are provided by Belgians and Belgian institutions. “The response of the American, British and other people to the pled on behalf of the Belgians has been without parallel in international phil- anthropy-——amounting today to nearly $15,000,000 in cash, food and cloth- ing. “The growing and gloomy problem is one of unemployment, for month by month a larger proportion of the industrial mass of over 3,500,000 peo- ple falls further and further into des- titution. at the commission’s disposal are, they are pitifully small when spread ove | the number who are now wholly de- pendent or who are becoming depend- ent with increasing frequency. It will appear from this report thaat the commission is transmitting $5,000,000 a month from the outside world for the destitute, yet this sum divided over those now unemployed and des- titute would average less than five cents per day. It is evident that the commission’s work has been only sup- plemental to individual resources, and these can obviously but diminish throughout the period of the war un- “Generous as the resources placed ! i the commission also less something can be done to overcome the industrial stagnation.” | In addition to the Belgian people, supplies the French population within the Ger- man occupied territory, which num- ber about 2,300,000. The cost of sup- porting these people amounts to about $4,000,000 a month, and is accom- plished entirely without recourse to charity by financial arrangements which the commission has instituted whereby the towns in the occupied zone secure loans from the banks of Paris.
