COPENHAGEN, August *.-Th* mmslon of tho main committee of the reichatag was productive of further declaration* and discussions regarding Chancellor MlcfcaeUs** attitude on peace whit* the latest German papers construe -variously.

Herr Ereberger. the Centrist leader, alone declared In yesterday's committee • sitting that doubt as to the chancellor's acceptance of the principle of peace | without annexations and Indemnities now had been eliminated for good.

The Berlin Tageblatt says the crisis is only adjourned. Herr Haussmann, radical member of the reichatag, declared in a speech In the committee that the chancellor had Introduced elements of doubt and uncertainty Into the Interpretation of the retchstag resolution; had eprmitted the Conservatives to class him as their own man without a word of protest, and that he had done nothing to shake off the assertion of the PanGermans that he is playing a false game In politics. , The chancellor on Wednesday, as on

the day when he assumed office, demanded elbow room for peace negotiations. but the majority leaders then, as now. declared expressly that there could be no question of such elbow room, and that peace must be made on the basis fpecifled in the resolution. Dr. Michael s waa warned of the danger of

departing therefrom.

RETURN WILL AID IN BELGIAN RELIEF.

FOOD EMBARGO IS MODIFIED

WASHINGTON. August 26.—On the condition that they aid materially In the task of feeding Belgium, neutral European nations are to be permitted to receive some of th* American grain for which they have been asking so urgently since the food embargo was declared. Thirty or more Dutch ships will sail at once from an Atlantic port carrying grain owned by the Netherlands government, on condition that the greater part of the cargoes shall be used for relief of the Belgians. The Swedish mission has sold at cost 562.000 bushels of wheat in this country to the Belgian relief commission. The wheat was bought by the Swedish government last January, and has been held in elevators ever since. This will go forward immediately in ships to be obtained by the Belgian relief commission, and will take th* cargo space of several large freighters. Rye for Sweden. In return the Swedish government will be permitted to ship 270.000 bushels of rye of the new American crop whtoh will be available In September or October. Negotiations between United States officials and representatives of the neutrals have been in progress for several weeks. Proposal was followed by counter-proposal, until at one time It looked as If a working agreement was an impossibility. The needs of all the European neutrals have been Icld before the food

commission *nd complete statistics given regarding supply, consumption, exports. Imports, manufacture and per capita requirements. Norway’s case has been presented by the mission headed by Dr. Nansen and complete accord has been reached, it Is understood, regarding commodities to go forward to that country Immediately. Norway needs food stuffs and has ships to barter. She is willing to devote 1,000,000 ton* to the service of the United States if she can get food in return. I; is understood that this offer In part has been accepted. To Turn Over Ships. One of the propositions made by Holland was to turn over to the use of the trade of the entente allies a large share of her merchant fleet on condition that th# ships were not to be sent Into the danger zone. Norway would let her ships go without any such proviso. Holland contended that It would be almost commercial suicide to risk her shipa aa it might cut off her immense colonial trade. Chevalier Van Rappard. the Netherlands minister, presented the claims and needs of his country and negotiated until the proposition finally given him by Mr. Hoover was of such a nature that he advised the Netherlands government to accept it. There had been delay until there was danger that the wheat in the Dutch ships would rot. It appeared for a time that nothing would be done pending the arrival of the Dutch commercial mlsg'on. which has sailed from an English port The agreement 1* understood to provide that one-third of the grain is for Holland’s own use and the remainder for the Belgians. it is also provided that the use of ships will be given this country, both

by Norway and Holland, for such trade as does not conflict with United States la* s. thus releasing much American and allied tonnage for the carrying of munitions and troops. The congress probably will be asked to

make It legal for ships under a f

elgn flag but with American charter to

engage in th# coastwise trade. What arrangement is to be made to

meet the needs of Switzerland and Denmark could not be learned, but the general understanding Is that a certain amount of the old crop of wheat with some fats will be allowed to these countries as well as to Norway, Sweden

and Holland.

Final Sympathy Saturday Reports Total $19,882.61

Re-export Prohibited.

In every case a promise Is obtained from the neutrals that no material provided them under this agreement is to be re-exported to countries with whom th# allies are at war. The neutrals have contended that nothing was exported ”ln kind,” but one of the main difficulties in reaching an agreement has been th# knowledge that cattle fed with American grain were sold either on th* hoof or as meat to Germany and that cheese and butter from cows fed on forage from America went to

the central powers.
