RELIEF COMMISSION
IS WELLSUPPLIED
No Danger of the Belgians
Starving Overnight
PROBLEM IS SOLVED
Relations Between Benevolence and
Sales Department Established So
As to Develop Maximum Ef
ficiency In Distribution
London, May 29.—(Correspondence of the
Associated Press.)—The warehouses of the
American commission for the relief of
Belgium at Rotterdam and various pro
vincial centers are at last sufficiently well
stocked so that the commission can stand
the shock of interruptnins in the receipt
of supplies without fearing that the Bel
gians will starve over night.
One of the hardest problems with which
the commission had to deal was the fact
that belligerent nations refusel to permit
the purchase within their boundaries or
foodstuffs for the Belgian sufferers. It
was consequently necessary to obtain all
the food overseas. It was found that if
purchases w ere made in the primary cen
ters and the most economical transport
undertaken, it was necessary to have in
transit at all times three months' fooo
supply. The commission,, therefore, man
aged to borrow $10,000,00) secured upon the
goods in transit and the members of the
commission pledged their personal credit
for the further communes to bring up the
stock of goods in transit as high some
times as $20,000,000. In the early days the
commission would have to send canal
boats first to one part of Belgium and
then to another, where supplies were with
in less than 24 hours of exhaustion.
rrohlem is bolved
At first the commisalon endeavored to
distribute the actual gift food consigned
to them to the actually destitue persons.
Within a week they found an enormous
tunount of difficulty and contusion nr.s
ing out of this arrangement because It
would be necessary to divide a cargo of
gift flour, for Instance, over 3000 com
munes in Belgium, and t the same time
to ship parallel with u .1 huge quantity
of foodstuffs, consigning them for the
purposes of sale for those who could pay.
This meant a duplication of the entire
transport organization and In fact was
quite impossible because no gift cargo
,yas sufficient In size to distribute over
3000 communes; and the next thing the
commission found was that It was bor
rowing from the gift cargoes and was
loaning food from the sales department
to the benevolent department. The direct
business minds of the managers untied
this knot by a very simple device, by
which they sold all of the gift food from
the benevolent department to the pro
visioning department. The benevolent de
partment instead of having foodstuffs
thus had cash in hand. This they pro
ceeded to distribute by weekly subven
tions to the communes, and the com
munal authorities with this money pur
chased their required Imports from the
sales department. The result was an enor
mous simplification In the work and an
actual gain in efficiency, as the communes
were then able to buy precisely what th<"
icqnlred for each individual and local
Institution.
It Is of some interest to follow the actual
< oursc of a cargo of foodstuffs throu»',
the commission. Take the cas“ of Argen
tine wheat. One of the largest firms of
grain buyers in the Argentine undertook
to make purchases on behalf of the c-om
-nission without profit eo themselves. This
grain would he purchased In one of the
central Argentine provinces, transported
to Buenos Aires, and a freight paid on
It, less than the usual rates by virtue
of arrangements by the commission with
the railway companies at Buenos Aires.
A cargo would be taken up by one of
the regular steamers of the commission.
Inasmuch as the commission had nego
tiated an arrangement with all of the
belligerent governments that ships flying
the commission's flag would be immune
from attack at sea. they were able to
charter ships and ontain rates at lees
than normal. This cargo. In due time ar
rived at Rotterdam and was there dis
charged Into lighters which are under
time charter to the commission. These
lighters are towed down the canals from
Rotterdam Into Belgium and discharged
tntn one of the five milling centers In
! Belgium.
Operate Flour Mills
"The flour mills In these live cities ar«
onerated on behalf of the commission
whereby the commission agrees to pav
for the labor and actual cost of opera
tion. The wheat Is milled Into SO pel
cent flour and 30 per cent bran and th<
hran la sold to the municipal dairies tc
feed the cattle and thereby maintain th<
[ cycle of milk supply for the bahv can
teens. The flour is ngaln loaded Int :
lighters and Is distributed into provincial
warehouses of the commission. From
these warehouses it is again distributed
into arondlssement warchous-s.' The
communal authorities come to the are.n
dlsscment warehouses for theii supplies.
The communes pay in cash to 'lie arron
dissement managers the stipulated price
of flour, and having removed it to the
communal warehouse there begins one
of the most interesting phenomena in
the detailed measures taken to secure
absolute economy and Justice in the
method of distribution. In the case of
flour, in the first Instance, the Joint or
ganizations required the communes to
secure from all of the bakers h com
plete list of their customers. These
lists were compared with the communal
record and a definite number of persona,
are assigned to each baker for him to
supply with bread. The baker la put In
bond to supply >25 grammes of good
broad made from no other material
than that at tha commission Un er*oi
••■•*••■•••••••■••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••«•
to prevent adulteration) daily to each
adult customer, and at a price fixed by
the commission. For this purpose lie
received daily from the communal ware
house 250 grammes of flour per adult.
Tile communes sell the flour to the
baker at the same price which they pay
for it. The baker is compelled to sell
the bread to his customer for the same
price that he pays for the flour; but, in
asmuch as bread made from 250
grammes of flour increases to 325 .
grammes of bread, by virtue of the
water incorporated in baking, the baker
thus obtains a small margin of profit
with which to pay his workmen. Any
contravention by the baker of the mi
nute rule set down means the punish
ment of having his list of customer*
assigned to some competitor. !j
The same system applies to the hand
ling of other materials. On the benevo
lent side, those who cannot afford to
buy their bread from the baker or their
groceries from the grocer, apply to the
communal store. These tickets equal a
certain ration per head in each family
per diem. The communal store is
stocked with foodstuffs partly imported
and as stated above, partly purchased
locally by the communes from the cash
partially supplied to them by the com
munes. In addition to the handling of
the imported food supplies the commis
sion now handles a considerable amount,
of internal food produce, as it has been 3
necessarv to buy potatoes in some por- f
tions of Relgium and send them to other
parts aside from the very large quantity
of potatoes now being imported. The
commission recently purchased 500)
tons of coffee from the stores com
mandeered at Antwerp and has resold
this throughout the country.
Centennial of Trousers j
From the Boston Globe.
One hundred years ago Napoleon re
turned from Elba, the battle of Water
loo was fought—and trousers were intro
duced into polite society in the capitals of
western Europe. When powdered wig*
disappeared, save from the craniums of
lawyers in court, and the wearing of high
hats became general (the historians oi
fashion say), Jt quickly became obvious
that some appropriate change must b*
made at the other end of the male figure.
Knee breeches and silk stockings did not
correspond with the stovepipe. So the
reformers set themselves to work to de
vise other garments congruous with the
! new headpiece. The result was panta
j loons as we know them. And the Duke
| of Wellington had the courage to don the jk
strange things in London before they !
were regarded there as strictly en regie.
The centenary of trousers should be com
memorated by American men in 1915 with
such ceremonious observances as may be
deemed most suitable.
