AfEAN WHILE, In anxious -Impatience, we were awaiting" the return of our
. , envy- n mornlnf, from the unexpected directfon of Berlin, came
a telegram from Mr. Gerard laying that the British government had agreed
to let food come into Belgium provided it was sent by the American embassy
In London to the American legation in Brussels. Sa there was hope! We
waited another week; then I had a bundle of telegrams that had come by way
of The Hague another sign of amelioration, showing that communication by
way of The Hague and Antwerp had been restored. fi- A
One of the telegrams was from our , sen tative of the commission to arrive
ambassador in London, Dr. Pare, , who
aid . that in persuanco of our request
for assistance, : he had asked Mr. Her
bert Clark Hoover to organize a com
mittee to raise funds and to purchase
food for the Belgian civil population.
There was a telegram -also from Mr.
Hoover, known to' me then only aa the
American who had been at the head
of the 'committee formed in London to
assist in repatriating: Americans whom
the flood of war had overwhelmed. It
was a sympathetic and heartening re
sponse Mr. Hoover said that he had
organised the committee which would
set up at once the machinery necessary
to the purchase and the shipment of the
food; that the organisation had been
named the American commission for re
lief In BelglunJ; that It would be com
posed exclusively of Americans, and
that, in accordance with the condition
laid down by the British government,
the food would be shipped to me aa
American minister at Brussels, under
the American flag. I sent a telegram
expressing the gratitude of the Belgian
people, of the Comlte -National, and
of myself, for this most generous re
sponse to our appeal, a response In
which , I could have my own patriotic
pride and satisfaction ; but I asked that
my friend and colleague the Marquis
of Vlllalobar. be Included aa patron in
a relation identical with my own, and
called attention to the efforts he had
made to aid the great work. And this
was done.
Relief Work
Takes Shape
There was another telegram, from
Olbeon. asking that a thousand labels
In German, with the authorisation of
, the government, be sent at once to
Rotterdam to- be . placed on the ship
ments of food about to be sent In. This
naa an encouraging and practical
sound, and I could at once bear the
good news to the gentlemen of the
Comlte National.
The next afternoon, at last, to my
- delight, the Baron Lambert, well
groomed and smart as ever, came in,

news; and far too modest over the suc
cess of his mission. Messre. Heineman '

Weeks before, the Comlte' National
had. sent Mr. Millard K. Bhaler, for
whom, as an American citizen, we had
been able to secure authorisation from
the Oermana to leave Belgium, to Lon
don to buy food. In those days travel

Early in November Gibson ' returned
from the Odysaee that had taken him
to Havre and to that little corner of
Flanders left to Belglum,rwhere, - In a
summer cottage in the .' bleak aand
dunes by the sea. he had seen the king
and the queen, living tn the midst of
that austere scene, with, cold November
winds blowing, and now and then
a shell screaming over their roof, sup
porting their fate with royal fortitude.
He brought back ' the kindest of mes
sages from their majesties and from
Baron do Groqueville and from my
colleagues at Havre, and he brought
back the details of the great organisa
tion Mr. Hoover was undertaking. We
had been experiencing the first of those
tremendous and complicated difficulties
in carrying on the work of feeding the
Belgians, difficulties that were destined
to dog us with an almost maddening
persistence during so many months and
what, in their slow lapse, seemed so
many years. The organisation of an
enterprise that had to .devise ways and
means of raising $10,006,000 every
month of purchasing food stuffs in the
distant markets of the world. In Ar
gentine, in Canada, in America, find
the means of transport across troubled
and dangerous seas, and distribute it to
seven mlUlorjt of people : in a land
where the ole machinery of common
life had been dislocated, where there
were none of the ordinary means of
communication, and to do all this In
the midst of armies lh the field, was a
task that would have seemed Insuper
able a few months before.
Office Opened
In Brussels
The C, R. B., as we were soon calling
the commission for relief In Belgium,
had offices In London, in New York
and in Rotterdam, and now it was
to establish an office in Brussels, and
one or ute nrst oirilcuities was to co
ordinate its relations with the gigantic
organisation of the C. N., as we were
soon calling the Comlte National.
Under the conditions lmnosed bv th
British government the food stuffs
were to be consigned to the American
minister at- Brussels and to be . dis
tributed under his supervision; he was
to be the responsible . witness of the
tact that there had been strict observ
ance on the part of the German soldiers
of the guarantees given by the Field
Marshal Baron von der Golts Pacha,
governor general In Belgium. But
since the American minister, even with
the best will In the world, could not
be ubiquitous, he had "to have recourse
to representation, and Mr. Hoover hit
upon the happy device of securing the
services of two score young Americans
Just then students at Oxford, young
men wno naa proved their metal by
winning the Rhodes scholarships. They
volunteered for the work.
It would have been dificult to create
such an organisation in the ordinary
times of peace, with everybody well
disposed, but, in addition to the physi
cal obstacles created by the chaos of
war, there was an atmosphere highly
charged with its various suspicions,
envies, jealousies, hatreds and all the
meaner passions let loose In mad fury
In the world, that made It almost Im
possible. This Stupendous ora-aniu-
tion was due largely to the genius of
Herbert Clark Hoover, but the minor
task of keeping peace in the family
seemed by some unkind fatality to fall
to the lot of the person who happened
to be American minister' at' Brussels,
and seemed to offer a convenient hu
man substance to absorb all the nuroer
our shocks. ' Perhaps It was because
that substance was of the very soft
ness sometimes Irritably attributed to
it when It declined or failed to range
Itself promptly and belligerently on one
or the other side of the disagreements
that almost dally distressed us.; I do

Germans in
Ugly Mood
The atmosphere In Brussels during
those early days In November were not
congenial to accords, and indeed, it did
not improve in this respect as time went
on. The Oermana
clllatory humor, they were. Indeed, dis
tinctly difficult and Irritable. The
kaiser had come to town for a day and
had installed himself In the dark old
palace of the d'Arenberg's there In the
Petit Sablon; it was said that things
were not going on well toward the sea
and down near Calais and Dunkerque;
and, as I beard some time later, that
the kaiser had come wlthin 15, minutes
of his death by an English aviator's
bomb at Thlelt. He was In a chateau
there, so a German officer told me : was
to lunch and leave in the Imperial
motor at liSOf The Imperial luncheon)
nowever, was tinished earlier than had
been expected and the kaiser left in
the Imperial motor at 1:15. At 1:10
the aviator was hovering overhead", and
the bomb dropped and exploded in the
chateau. We were not at that m.
however, so expert In noting the reflex
actions of such incidents as we became
later. But at any rate the Belgian flag
and even the flag of Brussels had been
ordered down from the Hotel de Villa,
and because a Brussels policeman in a
scurne naa struck a German secret
agent the Germans fined the City of
crusseis b.uou.vuo rrancs and demanded
that all policemen be disarmed and
that theyv salute the German officers.
"What! said one" policeman. "Salute

But whatever the cause mav have
been, the authorities were difficult,
even those who desired, to be other
wise. We began to encounter the phe
nomenon, not new In the world, of the
tyranny of a phrase. As Socialists, for
instance, -speak of class consciousness.
so tne German officers spoke of "milt
tary necessity. We would ask that
something be done, something that
seemed innocent and harmless, but no.
It could not be done; and when we
asked why, the words "military neoes-

Attitude
Annoying
The guarantees of the Pacha seemed
clear enough, unless "messieurs les
mill tai res" should pronounce the ataxic
formula "une neeeesite milltalre" ;' then
they would become something else. W
had the - guarantees of the governor
general permitting the food to enter
and protecting It from seizure, but this
document was as yet a lifeless thing;
It had to be vivified by construction
and by application. To render It prac
tical It Implied the means of communi
cation and free circulation, tn a word
passierscheln, for a large number of
delegates of the C. R. B. I may as well
say now that of mil the food Imported
Into Belgium by the C R. B. during
all the time we were there, the Ger
mans never seized a grain; the guar
antee waa enforced and respected. But
there were always military difficulties ;
things were done but seldom done gra
ciously or In that grand manner.
.If they did Justice, they did It as
though they were granting a favor, and
if they granted a favor they did It with
a gesture that absolved the recipient
of the obligation of gratitude. Our
right to oireulae. for instance, to come
and go, was not disputed, was Indeed
admitted, but it seemed to be Impos
sible to procure paaaierschelns which
when shown to stolid sentinels would
let one by. The authorities would shake
their heads, shrug their shoulders and

We discussed passlersqheins for
months. We had to have passlersohelns
for Curtis, who was to come and go be

the C. R. B. dispatches. We had, to
have paasierschelns tor" the delegates
of the C. R. B., who -were to travel
about in Belgium ; we. that is Vlllalobar
and I had to have passierscheins for
ourselves.

consultations, that we gathered at last

union of such efficient minds and wills
aa those of Emlie Franoqul and Her
