HOOVER TO KEEP UP
EFFORTS IN FRANCE

Unable to Take Charge of
Relief Work
HOUSING OF MEN

Thorough.
Washington. ? Relief work being
carried on in Northern France by the
Commission for Relief in Belgium
and the pitiable condition of the 1,500,000
inhabitants of that section
who escaped the German invasion,
are described in a cablegram received
at the headquarters of the commission
here from Herbert C. Hoover
at Paris.
Air. Hoover's message, made public
says:
"The Commission for Relief in Belgium
had hoped to surrender the
task of relief of Northern France to
the French Government immediately
upon the German retreat. It has
been found impossible, however, for
the French Government to undertake
the food supply of this area for
some months to come, and upon the
urgent request of that Government
the commission had decided to continue.
"Until transport and trade can be
rehabilitated the present system
must go on, for the French distribution
is done by the trades. These arrangements
necessitate some reorganization
of the relief work and
its entire separation from Belgium.
Men Are Ready.
"Twenty members of the Commission
for Relief in Belgium who joined
the American Army as officers have
Deen released oy ucn. gersmng to
undertake this work.
"The population of this area at the
moment of the retreat was about 1,500,000
there being also about 300,000
refugees in Belgium who are returning,
and some 500,000 refugees
in France, all of whom are anxious
to return to their native soil.
"The destruction of some, twenty
principal towns and literally hundreds
of villages renders the return
of these refugees a stupendous problem.
Every effort is being made to
restrain them from going back.
"In order to remedy this situation
to some extent the Commission for
Relief in Belgium has obtained the
services of 150 volunteers from the
American Navy and is taking over
a large amount of second hand barrack
material from the navy and
army. Those barracks are in course
o . erection.
"A large amount of boots and
fchocs and warm clothing has'been taken
over from the Quartermaster's
supplies and these are being distributed.
The French Government is
endeavoring to obtain cattle from
Switzerland and horses from the varoius
armies, which, together with the
meagre supply of agricultural implements,
may enable the population to
get in some portions of next year's
crops in areas not too badly destroyed
by battle.
"The entire industrial life of the
region has been destroyed by the
Germans. The coal mines are totally
rlnefvrtvo/l !in/i llio ni>( v.'Avlf nf i?ml_
ways lias boon rendered almost hopeless
of reconstruction for many
months.
Roads Thoroughly Destroyed.
"The German method of destruction
was to bend every single rail
by exploding a hand grenade under
it, rendering it useless for all time,
The Grand Canal du Nord, connectig
this section of France from the
Kelgian canal system, is so badly
destroyed it will take fully a yeai
for its complete reconstruction.
"The relief is based upon the allowance
of food to the value of about
.15 cents per day to the destitute
those having any resources or employment
being required to pay. Th
whole extent of destitution is noi
yet known, but appears to be fully
60 per cent, of the people."

There is a harrassing discomfort
caused by Eczema that almost becomes
a torture. The itching is almost
unbearable, and the skin seems
on lire with the burning irritation.
A cure from local applications of
salves and ointments is impossible,
because such treatment can only allay
the pain temporarily. The disease
can only be reached by going deep
down to its source.

Georgetown Boy With The
27th Tells of the Big
Smash.
Georgetown.?The following intensely
interesting letter is from
Sergt. Win. H. Smith, of Georgetown,
with the 27th division (New YorkL
which throughout the war has operated
with the .'SOth division on the
British front.
"Grand Nouvel Hotel, Lyon, France.
' My Dear Papa: It docs seem
strange to be in a real city again,
among real people and in a hotei.
Lyon is the second largest city in
France, and it sure is some place.
Our school and camp is only an hour
away and we can get passes whenever
we want them. We don't gel
them very often, though, because it
costs a young fortune before getting
out of tlie place. The French seem to
take a special pleasure in soaking us
poor Americans as much as they can
am1 get away with it, and we arcfools
enough to let them get away
with it; however, there are better
days coming pretty soon, 1 hope.
This is the first real city I've been
in for any length of time. Reached
tiie outskirts of Paris once, but never
got there, but intend seeing it if 1
ever get th'e chance. Lyon is quite
a wonderful place in itself and very
interesting, one never gets tired wandering
about and taking in the sights.
It's certainly a huge relief to get out
of sight of so many soldiers and
mingle with civilians and sleep in a
real bed and cat a real meal again.
"We have been very busy at school
and on the jump from dawn 'til dark.
.There's no telling what's going to
happen to us here at school now that
the war is over and there's not much
need for officers. The general rumor
is that none of us will get a com
mission and that the school will be
discontinued shortly. Sure wish I
could get back with the 107th again, j
but am afraid that's going to be im- 1
possible. I think they will be among I
the first to go back and they certain
ly deserve to. You see we are all 1
non-com missioned officers here at
school and our places have all been !
filled in our companies before now;
so I reckon the logical thing to bo- j
l'evc is that we will go hack in a
body; anyway, whether I get a commission
or not, the fact that I wa
recommended for one means some
thing.
"It's certainly wonderful to have
peace again, and one can hardly believe
it's really true. There was certainly
r. wild bunch here at 'he time
of the signing of the armistice am!
up on the front, when they knew it
was to be ov-''r at 11 o'clock on the
11th. They opened up with every
gun, large and small, all trying to
see who could f're the most. Then
of a sudden :t all stopped. You caa
I imagine how the bovs fell wiien th; \

just about as fast as he could go aw;
leaving vcryth ng behind, and !

j lifted now to a certain extent and .we
jean tell where we have been and
what we have been doing. Ever
since our arrival here we have boon

fine together. We first went on the
Arras front, but only in reserve, and
mostly for training purposes, and did I
no fighting there at that time. From H
there we went up in Belgium on the H
Ypres front, opposite Mt. Kemmel, I

and muddiest place in the world. Wo
were in the trencher there about six
weeks, mostly front line and support

there at that time, and we were
simply holding the lines, but we had 9
some very exciting times and a few I
very lively little fights, which consist 8
od mostly of raiding parties and a
patrols. The trenches there were 6
anything but pleasant to live in, in n
fact they were almost unbearable at. U
times. From flandev^ we went down- B
between Cambrai and St. Quentin, p
where we were to pull off our big 9
job of breaking through the Hindenburg
line; every day for three weeks 0
we rehearsed for it just as though fj
we were rehearsing for a play on the K
stage. We were told we were storm g
troops (which is quite an honor), and 9
were to start one of the biggest and B
most important offensives of the 8
war, and were to break the line a
which the Germans claimed could not 1
be done. 2

There were so many of our airplanes I

SAILORS AND POLICE
BATTLE IN NORFOLK
Dne Seaman Killed and Another
Badly Hurt in
Street Riot.
Norfolk, Va.?One sailor was killed,
another dangerously wounded
mcl several citizens received minor
injuries early today in a disturbance
which started after a midnight frolic
oy enlisted men fom tl:e army and
navy on shore leave.
While the streets in the business
section were filled with crowds celerviting
the New Year, ..hundreds of
men in uniform held up street cars
bulled missiles at unoffending persons,
raided re. aurants and looted
show windows and pawn shops, from
which weapons were obtained. The
police opened fire on a number of
men caught in the act of looting a

fighting became general.
F. H. Kosscn a seaman, sattioned
at the naval base, died at a hospital
from a bullet wound in the head. J.
F. Carroll, a chief petty officer, was
stabbed in the body and Bryce Custer,
seaman, was shot in the log.
Only one arrest was made, Chas.
Hareic, a seaman, being held on the
rharge of house-breaking.
Investigation by the police showed
that more than a score of show windows
were smashed with a property
damage estimated at $5,000.
Before order was restored the
rioters broke open a hardware store
and took kegs of point with which
they gave the sidewalks a coat of vanous
colors. A navy provost guard
sided the police in dispersing the
crowds and quieting the vristurbance.
According to the police, appeals to
the naval authorities for further
assistance brought no response.
