PROBLEM IS IMMEDIATE Amerionn Commission Says to Allow Half of Soldiers' Ration to Each Starving Person Calls for , $2,500,000 a Month. LONDON, Oct. 31. Albert, Klngr of the Belgians, has asked the American people through the American Commis sion, for relief In Belgium, to help feed his starving people during the coming Winter. The King's message, -written under fire, in the battle before Dunkirk, fol lows "I am informed that officials and citizens In Belgium and England are worKing to save my people irom horrors of the famine which now threatens them. It is a great com fort to mo in this hour of sorrow and misfortune to feel that a great-hearted. disinterested people is directing its efforts to relieving the distress of the ."unonenaing civilian population 01 my country. Winter Adds to Suffering, "Despite all that can be done, the five portions wheat, three portions beans, two portions peas with bacon, if obtainable. Must be shipped in neutral bottom, consigned to us. Rotterdam. We want food, not clothes, as this is a question of starvation and Belgians can clothe themselves for the present. I can think of no greater contribution to this occasion of world's stress than a food Bhip from California and if pos sible, one from Oregon and another from Washington. t BELGIANS REPULSE ATTACK Germans First Gain Ground, Then Lose Part of It. HAVRE, Oct. 31, via London. An official dispatch from the Belgian army headquarters to tne Belgian minister of war says: Fierce attacks were attempted yes terday morning by the enemy in the neighborhood of Ramscapelle and Pervyse. The second of these attacks was repulsed with (treat loss. The first forced our troops to cede some ground which later was partially retaken. In the afternoon the Inundation ex tended from between the Yser and the railway at Nieuport to Dixmude and reached the neighborhood of Pervyse. 'Before the front between Dixmude and Huyghen there was no important fighting. The allied troops were able to cross the Yser and to gain ground. Toward the east the enemy lost Bixschoote and are only maintaining their position at Passchendaele (six miles northeast of Ypres) with diffi culty. 'On the Lys there has been no ma terial change in the situation. LONDON STILL PREPARES STREETS GROW DARKER IX AN TICIPATION OF AIR RAIDS.

There already have been several fatalities directly due to dimly-lit thoroughfares. Additional searchlights and new guns on roofs and arches appear each week. Two aerial guns have recently been mounted on Gresham College, Slum and by Its association with a committee in Belgium, has the only efficient agency for the distribution of food within the country. H. C. Hoover, chairman of the commission, with headquarters in London, makes the fol lowing appeal to all American news papers: 7,000,000 Left In Belgium. "We have received reports from members of this commission who were advanced if any Taubes or Zeppelins appear above the city. It cannot be said that there Is any great fear, the papers pointing . out that even if an air raid should suc ceed, the most it could accomplish would be the loss of a few lives and destruction of some property. Even the announcement that Zeppelin sheds are being constructed in Brussels and Antwerp failed to arouse any general alarm in London.

In many centers the people are receiving an allowance of a little more than three ounces of flour per capita daily. "This is not a question of charity or relief to the chronically poor; it is a question of feeding an entire popula tion. The situation affects the wealthy and well-to-do, as well as the poor. It touches every home in Belgium. Our experts calculate that in order to avoid actual starvation, Belgium must have every month a minimum of 60,000 tons of wheat 15,000 tons of corn, 6000 tons of peas or beans and a limited amount of bacon or lard.

The whole credit machinery has ceased. Eighty per cent of the people are un employed. "A plan may be devised whereby such Belgians as possess property may give obligations to pay when the war ends, but even if we could realize on these obligations we must still have at least $2,500,000 monthly In food or money with which to buy it That these figures are no exaggeration IS proved by the fact that Belgian im ports in normal times an average of 230.000 tons of cereals monthly. This together 'with Its own production and accumulations, is now exhausted. "During the past week we have re ceived and expended in food $600,000, and yet this is only four days' supply.

Bearing physicians, nurses and hos pital supplies, the Rohilla was on her way to a Belgian or a French port to succor the wounded when she was driven ashore. It is understood that all the women on board were saved. The total number on board the ill fated ship is not definitely known, but some estimates place it at 200. There are said to be still about 60 persons on the vessel. Several men today, in response to signals from the shore, decided to tak the risk of swimming. A few of them reached land safely, but others were drowned. Bodies are washing up on the beach. FINE HORSE WAR .VICTIM tant Races, Killed. PARIS, Oct 31.

CALIFORNIA WILL SEND CARGO Campaign to Send Food by Way of Canal to Be Pushed Vigorously. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 31. In re Bponse to an appeal to California for help, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce today notified H. C. Hoover. chairman of the American committees at London for the relief of Belgium that an immediate campaign would be pushed with the greatest vigor to charter a ship and send it through the i'anima Canal with a cargo of food tuffs worth $250,000. All the chambers of commerce of California were requested to help and appeals for contributions were sent to banks and even to farmers and pro ducers direct all over the state. Mayor Rolph issued a proclamation support ing the plan and Governor Johnson was requested to do likewise. A cable to Honolulu asked that the Hawaiian Islands take similar action. The text of the telegram from Mr. Hoover follows: "Over 1,000.000 people on bread line In Belgium at present with supplies estimated to last from one to three weeks. While we are securing some supplies here for emergency purposes, the real situation cannot be met with out direct exports from states and we shall require upwards of 20,000 tons of foodstuffs monthly.
