AMERICAN F000 IS BEING DISTRIBUTED IK BELGIUM BUT Mrcn MORE IS NEEDED IF PEOPLK OP COUNTRY ARE TO BE SAVED. NEW YORK, Dec 31. After two weeks' investigation of actual condi tions In Belgium, Arno Dosch, in a cable report to the New Tork World, bas the following to say regarding lle'E lan needs, now the work of the commission. I have just made a two weeks' tour of Belgium to see how America's food was being distributed, and I can ay it la going to the right mouths by the swiftest and surest means. Only hungry Belg'ans are getting it and not one sack of flour has been taken by the German soldiers. "But if Belgium is not to starve1 this winter the United States must end a continuous string of ships loaded particularly with . grain and Sour. What hxs arrived already has Men eaten at once. There is no sur plus. "Immediate success in relieving the hungry has been due to two causes. Th rapidity with which the American commission for the relief in Belgium bas delivered the food at the Belgian frontier, and the business methods f the national committee of relief, a Belgian organization. The latter, In .ordinary times, is a remarkably well organized charity which ha hn used by the leading Belgian cltlsens and was expanded to carry on this worn, it has advantage of organisa tion without the soullesaness of or ganized charity. "It makes all who can pay, but It gives to all alike. It has forty-seven soup kitchens in Brussels alone, to which all classes of tho people come. Tl I . . jncio is no ename in Duymg at a soup kitchen. The most beautiful memory I have carried out of Bel glum is the sight of sweet faced and gentle Belgian women who run these spick and span kitchens. "I saw the Liege branch of this committee issue bread to (0,000 peo pie at one point, it took nearly three hours to do it, and though the line was four deep and kept moving rap Idly, the record of each recipient of every loaf of that bread was kept I was a quarter of a mile away In the narrow streets when the distribution began and I was swept along In that great army of hungry people pouring through the streets. Anyone who saw that hungry throng would stop eating bread himself to see that the Belgians got it In the crowd I was recognis ed as an American and dozens said: '"Oh! Tou are one of the peo-J pie who are sending us bread.' ' "It was very touching. All the good twill that went from America with the food had been preserved in trust by the grateful Belgians." South IIIIl Flooded. The south hill was flooded with wa ter for an hour or more last night when a surface pipe leading into the residence of W. M. Blakely split The water bubbled to the surface and flowed down the hill. Bupt. Hayes and assistants worked late In the night to stop the flow. InvfHtifratlajr Indian cases. a H. Elliot, attorney in the Indian bureau, Is here again for a short time on business connected with the local reservation. He was here sev eral months last summer but of late has been looking Into some cases on the Warm Springs agency in Wasco county. Barney O'Xell Hew. Several local people report having seen Barney O'Nell. ex-candidate for governor of Idaho who has been serv ing a term in the penitentiary at Boloe for wrecking a bank at Lewis- ton, on the streets today while en route back to Lewiston after his lib eration from Prison. Xcw Offk-ers hi Monday. Monday, January i, the new offi cers of Umatilla county will take their oath of office and assume their du ties, the custom being to make the new terms commence the first Mon day in the new year. In Umatilla county, however, the new officers will nearly all be old officers for most of the present incumbents will suc ceed themselves. Coroner II. S. Gar field will give over the office to J. T. Brown and Surveyor Geary KImbrell will be succeeded by Wlllard Bradley. It Is probable, too, that Judge J. w! Maloney will surrender his office to Charles H. Marsh. Vernal RackmAn Returns. Vernal Backman, student In the Pendleton high school, has returned from Nampa where he had been vis iting since the beginning of the Christ mas vacation. He will continue as student here and will not enter the Boise high school as he had soms thoughts of doing. Bootlejrgw Is Convicted, It makes no difference whether a man sells an Indian whiskey or gives it to him. He is violating the city ordinance in either case as A. J. Lew is found yesterday when, in defense of himself, he testified that he gave an Indian liquor instead of selling It to him. Judge Fltz Gerald pronounc ed him guilty and sentenced him to pay a fine of $40. The man is lay lng it out in Jail. A pessimist's heart probably looks like a dried apple.

Because of her complaining ways, he alleges, he moved from Helix to Portland, to his ranch on Camas Prairie, to his fruit farm at Kennewlck. back to Portland and then to Pendleton. To please her further, he says, he sold his Camas Prairie ranch, bought the Kennewick fruit farm and deeded it to her, later sold his Helix land and bought her a home In Pendleton.
