WILSON APPROVES PLANS
WASHINGTON, May 23-President Wilson ha* today approved arrangements which wrill remove the menace of starvation which the 10,000,000 inhabitants in German occupied Belgium ami France have been facing. Herbert C. Hoover, as chairman of the commission for relief in Belgium, announced last night that the President had approved the restoring of the fleet of steamers employed by the commission to the original number and the placing at the commission'* disposal sufficient tonnage for the dispatch of 90.000 tons of foodstuffs In the next ninety days. Necotiations to provide ships to carry food to the inhabitants of German-occu-pied territory in the west have been under way between the British, French and Amerlean governments. Hoover said, with the result that the American and British governments had undertaken to find one-half of the necessary shipping to restore the volume of foodstuffs to feed the Belgians and French under German domination. Ships have been assigned from those formerlv plying in the allied food trade and adjustments have been made In the American shipping tosltton. Including the removal of 50,ii00 tons from the Cuban sugar trade through reduction In sugar allotments to the confectionery and sweet-drink industries. "As a result of the diversion of a large part of the shipping employed by the relief commission to other war purposes," Hoover said, "it ha{! been necessarv to reduce the bread ration to six ounces per diem, tht* being an ounce below the present German ration, with orrespondtng reductions In other foodstuffs "F’’en with this additional shipping, the Belgian ration must b® of the most meagre character, but I am confident that actual starvation on a wholesale scale has again been prevented.”

Under the stress and uncertainty of the greatest adventure on which a woman can embark, this little war bride’s soul developed from a state of neutral sympathy for the sufferers in the great war to the determination of loving and heroic self-sacrifice.

The Death Rattle of Austria-Hungary Austria is almost out of the war, as far as military aid is concerned, except perhaps for one more Italian drive, in the estimation of those best qualified to know. This condition seems to be due, judging from dispatches in the Austrian press, to internal political conditions which may at any moment cause a conflagration. The German papers in Austria are very apprehensive, the Grazer Tagespost, for example, telling us that “the south is in flames.” There is a striking article in this week’s issue of THE LITERARY DIGEST, dated May 25th, made up of translations from papers in Austria-Hupgarv, which will be read with interest by Americans. It shows, as nothing else could, the state of public opinion in the dual monarchy at the present time. Other articles of importance in this‘number of THE DIGEST are: Strength of the Opposing Armies on Western Front A Careful Analysis of the Relative Strength of the German Army and the Allied Armies Opposed to It

The article is profusely illustrated, and will be of particular interest to prospective motor-truck buyers and all who are irfterested in transportation problems of the nation.

Today the tender, brooding heart of the “Greatest Mother in the World” is sending its Red Cross appeal into every American home. Today, while millions of brave men are fighting for the freedom of the world, and are paying the price in wounds and suffering and death; while countless homes “over there” are devastated and millions of little children are tom from loved ones and cast about as pitiful waifs of war, a passionate, urging cry comes to every American heart from the one and only organization m all the world which can comfort those heroic soldier hearts, and gather into its tender care these sad little waifs of war and give them love and shelter - * Listen to the splendid call of old Isaiah; nothing could be more fitting today: “If thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and
satisfy the afflicted soul, then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as noonday. * * * t j iat shall be of thee shall build the old waste places. Thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations, ami thou shalt be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of paths to dwell in.” The forces of destruction are sweeping ruthlessly over Europe. While our armies, with our Allies, are fighting valiantly to stop them and drive them back, let us build up and strengthen our heroic Red Cross army of reconstruction and mercy, which already is doing so much to “satisfy tha afflicted,” and to “restore the paths to dwell in.” You will sleep the sleep of contentment tonight only after you have done your share. •
