London The plight of the Belgian people, both at home and In Holland, England and France, is stirring the hearts and minds already distraught by the horrors of war. Figurea are necessarily vague, but a conservative estimate is that 1,500, 000 Belgians, out of a population of 7,- 000,000, have been ex|>atriat«i. laird Gladstone's committee says 70,000 Ar rived in lamdon during the last week and the women's relief committee, which sent a ship to Holland last week, nqsirta that in eight cities of Holland the refugees number nearly 500,000; in other words. they are more numerous than the native popu lation.

Including Portland, took fire and was beached late Sunday afternoon againat the Oregon shore of the Columbia river, two mile« from St. Helena. She is practically a total loss. Two carloads of ammunition In her cargo exploded with the fire, adding horrors ami damage. Forty-two members of her officers' staff and crew are safe, but one fire man, Gus Johnson, is dead. He waa entrapped in the engine room instantly when the explosion occurred, ami heroic efforts of Captain J, F, Rose ami his aide» to rescue him before the ship was abandoned were futile. Among the rescued are Mrs. Rose, wife of the captain, and their baby, who were lowered over the aides of the burning vessel while still in mid* stream. The fireboat David Campbell, of Portland, fought th« flames in th« big linerjafter making a fast run from Portland. The Santa Catalina was capable of carrying 10,900 ton» dead weight and had just entered the Columbia river on her second voyage to Portland. She mule her maiden trip last December. She was one of the first great liners to make a passage through the Panama canal, having arrived at San Francisco from New York about 10 days ago. She left San Francisco Friday and carried about 2000 tons of mixed cargo, 1400 ton» of which were for Portland. In the cargo for Portland was a large supply of ammunition, which ex ploded within a few minutes after the vessel took flame. The exploding cart ridges created a near-panic among the sailors ami crew and made the work of fighting the blaze still more hazardous ami nearly impossible. Three of the seamen junqied overobard, two swim ming to the Oregon shore, a thin! be ing rescued by a small river fishing boat, which went to the aid of the Santa Catalina as soon as the explosion was beanl up and down the Columbia in the vicinity of St. Helens.
