Cheap Food From America for Little Country Increases Feeling of Friendship. mtUSSKLS. April 12. On of the f.rst things that strikes the foreign ob.-erver hr.ro is the growing revulMon of Uclplan national feeling iig-alr.Kt her most Intimate war-time allies, especially Great Jiiilaln. While liritaln. Franco and Italy .-ire disposed to hlame the United Suites for adopting a purely sei:'..-h j-olicy, Belgium which in rcelvin cheap food from America alone, and consequently has no grouch against the United States is looking asfcanc at tho "Pfclf.fih policy" of Angr-k-Franco-Itallan Kovernments, who have by no means mado good the generous promises showered on "poor little Uelgium" in the hour i f her trial, ivrgln to Jeer JlrltaJn. The "orap of paper" Incident, which brought lirltain into tho war aus'jd tho Belgian people to regard ;reat Britain as their ultimate fa;or. Thero wad something fo inpirlnf ahout a nation, which was iiot immediately threatened with lnaaion. throwing down the gauntlet on behalf of her maller neighbor. J'erhapa Belgians built too much on this, but the utterances of British hUt-smen throughout the war only tended to endorse and consolidate this opinion. Now weighing: up performances fijralnst promises, Belgium is disposed to repeat the old Jeer j. bout Britain being a "nation of hhopkeepers" and to add somewhat Mtterly that the Ftorekeeping nation wems to to wrapped up In selfInterest. lAting Cost Factor. Tho high cost of living Is, of curse, a considerable factor. Unlike America, Britain has sent very little cheap food to Belgium, and the observant Belgian cannot fall to note that he la paying from two to three times the price of foodstuffs in England. The high rate of exc hange as "between Belgium on the one hand, and Britain and the United States on tho other, coupled with a plethora of Belgian paper money, und an absence of real wealth makes It a far better business for Belgium to buy Tvhat she wants from Germany which, being still very bitter ji gainst the author of all her troubles, Belgium Is not at all anxious to do. A further cause of offence Is that

nmong the machinery sent by Britain to Belgium Is much Ftuff marked "Made in Germany," which the patriotic Belgian hoped to avoid in ordering machine parts from I'ngl.md. The promises as to reparations and restoration also Htlll remain, in tho bulk, unrealized. Sixteen months nfter the signing of tho armistice Helgiurn has not obtained restitution of much of her machinery', rollingutock, cattle, horses, etc., carried off by the Germans. I 'eels Badly It Down. In her negotiations with Holland, Belgium feels that she ha been badly let down. Karly In th war Kngland promised a revi.-non of the treaty of 1339, .and held out hopes of the restoration of the Scheldt and a portion of Dutch Limburg to Belglum, but recent developments give the impression that British diplomatic are supporting Holland rather than Belgium in the negotiations. In the question of tho trial of the former kaiser and war criminal?, too. Belgium accuses Britain of

Additional charges wero brought against Henry by Dr. Roach Straton. a minister, who told how vice and liquor regula tions were violated in Henry's district.

being too eager to conciliate Holland, and the allies 'tacit consent to the trial of selection "criminals"' by tho Leipsic courts has aroused much bitterness here. FetdJns of All aasc.. This is not tho view of disgruntled politicians and diplomatists or extremists, many of whom say far stronger things about British postwar policy, but it Is the growing feeling among thinking people of all classes, who sec In tho allies' struggles with their own reconstruction problems, especially as regard British policy, a disposition to let "gallant little Belgium" get out of her troubles as hest she can. Among tho Belgian masses there is far less discontent and bolshevik sentiment than has been apparent In the countries of her less ravaged neighbors. Tho Belgian people are hard-working and thrifty, and with their own national problems to solve, they are facing the task of reconstruction bravely.

One of the daily papers said this in the summer of 1916: "The innocent and defenseless consumer is growing mightily tired of it. He longs for the time when the ice business in South Bend will be placed on a more substantial and dependable basis." Today South Bend has an ice company equal to any in the Middle west, and we don't believe the local papers could suggest a single improvement in our strength, our service, our supply, or the quality of our product. A bold statement, but absolutely true. ARTIFICIAL IGE Main 2221, 395; Lincoln 6123, 5395.
