American Relief Arrives "The American relief steamer Co hlez, carrying more than 1,000 tons of good stufts, arrived at Rotterdam from London at 3 o'clock Sunday morning. The Dutch government, with great kindness, made an excep tion to the rigid rule against working on Sunday. The labor unions made equal concessions, with the result that on Monday morning eight barges, towed by four express tugs, left Rot terdam enroute for Brussels with re lief supplies. • On each barge was a large printed notice certifying that the cargo had been sent by tho Amer ican Commission in care of the Amer ican Minister to Belgium. On the door of the captain's cabin in each barge was a copy of General Von Der Goltz's proclamation instructing all German officials to give safe conduct end assistance to the American relief cargo. General Von Der Goitz is Ger man military governor of Belgium. "The crews of the barges and tugs were Dutch and each man carried with no little pride an order for safe conduct from the German authorities permitting him to go to Brussels and return unmolested to Holland. "Accompanied by M. M. Langhorne, secretary of the American Legation at Brussels, and Mr. Wyman, an Ameri can resident, in an automobile, I fol lowed this old flotilla of mercy as it threaded its way from canal to canal nnd from lock to lock. At Hanswert, (i town on the Belgian-Dutch frontier, 1 anticipated some difficulties as to this first consignment of relief. On the contrary, the German officials were fully informed and there was no de- Jay whatever. "Thence to Brussels the German ar rangments for getting our cargo through expeditiously were perfect. Cl'he sealed hatches of the barges were Biever opened or touched on all the way to Antwerp, Malines and Brussels. "Tho country people came running to the banks of the canal, where they istared at our flotilla as if it were a mirage. For a week not a single barge had passed where formerly there were a thousand hourly. Food Was Godsend "To the Belgian country folk it was at first just a Godsend dream to re mind them of tho peaceful days pre ceding the nightmare of war. When they found that there were real barges bearing food their great thankfulness found ready expression. ' "On Wednesday morning, just one week after the ship left London, we drove up in front of the American Le gation at Brussels and told Brand Whitiock, the American Minister to Belgium, that the relief barges were safely moored in a pocket of (the main canal. A few minutes later Mr. Whit lock's automobile brought the Marquis De Villalobar, the Spanish Minister, and the heads of the Belgian Central relief committee. The Marquis was all enthusiasm. He grasped my hand, exclaiming, 'What splendid news! You Americans are wonderful. When you take a thing in hand you certainly do und do it quickly.' "There was no need for the news papers to spread the report of our arrival. In one hour all Brussels knew and rejoiced. Many people had feared that we would never get the food into Belgium and that if we did we would' not get by the wall of sol diers surrounding Brussels. "We drove back to Holland by way of Louvain, Aerschot and Thourot to Breda, on the Dutch frontier. Wo found several villages in the Limburg district that had been without salt for a month. At almost every bridge we met men with boxes soliciting relief from travelers I'roni more fortunate districts. This looks like begging, but there are some conditions justifying anything. We met few Belgian men. Eighty per cent, of the people in these country districts are women and chil dren. We saw them eating green vegetables, beets and apples. They liad little else. Children Afraid to liaugli "There were thousands of children nil afraid to laugh. Like their mothers, they seemed spellbound by the melan choly fascination of the ruins in which they found shelter. The contrast be tween them and the contented song loving German soldier is appalling. "The Germans, who throughout treated us with the greatest courtesy and consideration, are clearing the debris from the water fronts so that the shipments of relief supplies from America can be landed in the various towns without difficulty. They also nre working on the canals and prom ise us by November 17 to clear the ■waterway to Liege, which at present Is very hard to reach." Mr. Bell will return to Rotterdam to-day to continue the work of rush ing Ihe emergency food supplies Into districts where they are most needed.
