Soldiers Enjoy King's Visit So
Much He May Stay Indefinitely
LONDON, Deo. . Stich enthusiasm has
been aroused among the allied troops
by the visit of King George te the battle
front that his stay In France may be
extended considerably. '
On Wednasday, according to a dispatch
to the Dally Mall, there was a meeting
of the king of Great Britain and Bel
glum, President Polncalre of Franca, Gen
eral Joffre, commander-in-chief of ths
French forces; Field Marshal Earl Kitch
ener. British secretary of state for war;
General French, commander-in-chief of
the British forces, and Abbe Lemalra, ths
famous mayor of Hasebrouck.
Tha meeting was In tha region where
tha three allied armies were nearest to
gether. General Joffre came from a point
in tha battle Una XX miles distant, by
special train. Abba La Malre met bun
and acted aa guide for tha diatlnguiahed
group.
King George inspected the British troops
yesterday. He traveled along tha lines In
a motor car. At several points he vis
ited the trenches and bomb-proofs, and
talked with the officers and men. A
desultory German cannonade meantime
was progressing.

troops, particularly at La Corne. to the
nothweet of the forest of Orarta.

The fighting la Russia Poland, la tbe
opinion of British observers, appears to
nava had no effect on tKa.'B.uaslaa opera
tions against Cracow, to atop ahlcfc has
been tha main object of Germany. In
the posssasloa of heights within three or
four miles of tha outer forts of the for
mer capital ot Poland, the Russians ap
pear to have tha Cracow fortress at thetr
mercy. The very fact that tha Muscov
ites have been able to gat to such close
quarters seems to indicate that the guns
of Cracow are not so formidable as baa
commonly been reported.
If this city falls It is anticipated that
It will have an Immediate affect oa the
campaign In Poland. It being argued hare
that the Germans would be then foced
to double back to stem the Invasion of
Silesia, which would be tha Immediate
sequel to the Busalaa oaptur of Craeow.

position of rolling stock on the railroads
and tha billeting of men. These Instruc

the active assistance of the Belgian gov

LONDON, Dec. eV-Herbert Clark
Hoover, chairman of the American com
mission for relief In Belgium, returned
to London today after a week'a trip of
inspecUjan in Belgium. Mr. Hoover re
Ported that the distribution of foodstuffs
ent in cam of the American commis
sion is well under way, but stated that
the condition of famine which threatened
the population is still desperate and that
on account of the attitude of the bellig
erents the Belgians must atlll appeal to
the people of tha United State for relief.
"It Is difficult to atate the position of
tha clvU population of Belgium without
appearing hysterical," Mr. Hoover said
In his statement. "I do not know that
history presents any parallel of a popa
latkra of 7.000,000 surrounded by a ring of
teat and utterly unable by any eon eel v.
able effort of their own to save them
selves,: . . , t ,. , ., .. . -:, :
g ta tesaeat of Germaaa.
' "From tha nature of things It la Impoe
slble for the commission even to possess
an opinion on the rights and wrongs
which hava created this situation. The
ffermuha state flatly that the people ot
Belgium are nominally dependent oa the
importation of foodstuffs for five-sixths
of thetr subsistence; that the Germans
havw not ths slightest objection to tha
Belgians or anyone else Importing food
stuffs Into Belgium: that it la not h.
Germans who have blocked the aea and
there Is no obligation on them, to feed
the population who eonld. thrnnarh fh
normal course of trade, obtain sustenance.
The allies, en the other hand, insist that
a free port for the Importation of food
stuffs into Belgium would practically
amount to an Intrenot for fanA luimllMi
for the Germans. It is enough for aa that
there are T, 000,000 people ground, between
gigantic millstones.

"So far our efforts have necessarily
been devoted to provisioning the larger

patience to be able to penetrate the out
