Yesterday there came good tidings
from the National food administration

have bo shuddering over mere an

speaka for Itself, follows:
Regarding sugar supplies for manu

manufacturers of easentlal food prod

to obtain their full necessary require

appllea particularly to packers of fruit,

preservation of which sugar may be
neceaaary, as well aa to the housewives
for usage In preserving purposes. When

sugar will be available for necessary

not to export tothe central powers any

These conditions were agreed to by
Norway:

That It would not export to-the cen

ring music of their regimental bands.
Not a sword nor an Inch of gold lace
waa to be seen. Brigadier-General
Edmund Wlttenmeyer, with a single
gold star on the sleeve of his service
overcoat, marched at the head of the
line like the humblest doughboy of
the lot. Grim, determined,' business
like young Captains and Lieutenants
who wer carving out peaceful careers
a few months ago barked commands
which were obeyed with machine-like
nrectsion.
"Eyes front," was the order, and
nnder th aoell of discipline only a
flicker of a smile responded as some
croud but tearful mother sighted her
sturdy son and shouted his name.
It was then that the sympathetic
throngs which lined the curbs save j
wav to cheers, and they were only to
srlvo courage to the mother left be
hind. The rest or tne time tney sccmea
prominent persons who have been ap
pointed by the Minister of the Interior.
The committee, which wllr be fi
nanced by the Red Cross, Is composed
of Madame Henry Carton de Wiart,
wife of tha Minister of Justice, who
spent some months in a German prison
In Berlin; Madame D'letren, Madame
Hymans, wife of the Minister of For
eign Affairs; Madam Roland, who is
working among the Belgian, children;
Mrs. John Van Schalck, Jr.. wife of the
Acting Director of the Department for
Belgium, and 'Dr. Roulet. chief health
officer of Belgium.
This committee will approach its
problem from several angles. In refu
gee centers it will establish clinics
where mothers can bring babiea for
frequent examination. Day nurseries
will be established for the children of
mothers who work. Arrangements will
be made to car permanently for aban
doned or orphaned babies. Th com
mittee will do horn visiting, follow
up maternity caaea and children left in
day nurseries, and attempt to Improve
conditions under which babies live in
their homes. General improvement of
housing and living conditions will also
be undertaken.
The American Red Cross Is erecting
an additional building for th Home of
the Queen, where several hundred
young children ar sheltered. Chil
dren from 4 to 14 year of age have
been taken in the home, but no pro
vision has heretofore been made for the
babies. The new structure will shelter
100 Infants who are now living where
they are exposed to gas and shell at
tacks from the Germans. The construc
tion Is being done by the Belgian
army.
Another home for older children Is
being built by th Red Cross under the
direction of th Minister of the In
terior. Th society Is paying the en
tire cost of buliding and furnishing
this Institution, which will shlter 250
additional little folk. It will also pay
the cost of administration.
The work of the Red Cross ln Bel
gium has for some time been under
the direction of Captain Van Schalck,
Major Ernest P. Blcknell. the director
of th department for Belgium, having
been called to Italy at the beginning
of the German advance. Major Blck
nell has been detailed for service with
