GIVES $1,000,000
TO WAR VICTIMS
Rockefeller Foundation Sets
Aside Huge Sum.
FOOD FOR THE POPULATION
Neutral Commission to Bo Organised
and Fund 8pant In Rslisvlng Suffar
ors In Poland. 8orvia, Montenegro
and Albania—Allies and Teutons te
Aid.
The Rockefeller foundation baa an
nounced that It haa appropriated $1.
000,000 for war relief work In Poland,
8ervla. Montenegro and Albania.
This gift Is made, according to the
announcement, as an effort to hasten
an agreement between the allies and
the central powers whereby adequate
provision can be made for feeding the
millions of noncombatants of the coun
tries which it is Intended that this do
nation shall aid.
In a statement which accompanies
the announcement of the gift the
Rockefeller foundation tells of Its ef
forts to relieve the situation in Poland.
After stating that its original scheme,
whereby it agreed to guarantee the ad
ministration expenses of a neutral com
mission for the distribution of food
stuffs to the extent of $120,000, fell
through because of the Impracticabili
ty of importing the food the founda
tion says:
A few mouths ago the German gov
ernment invited one of the members of
tbe war relief commission of the
Rockefeller foundation, Frederic C.
Walcott, to go to Poland with a repre
sentative of the commission for relief
In Belgium in order that fresh and ac
curate information might be obtained
as to conditions of destitution and that
new measures of relief might be devis
ed. The result of this trip was that a
scheme was again drawn up containing
certain arrangements and guarantees
whereby food might be imported into
Germany from abroad, transported to
Poland and distributed among the civil
population under the protection, su
pervision and active management of a
neutral commission directed by Her
bert C. Hoover.
Terms of Sehama.
The terms of this scheme may be
summarised as follows:
A neutral commission to be organized
under the direction of Herbert C. Hoover,
the head of the commission for relief in
Belgium, and to carry on its operations
according to the methods now obtaining
in Belgium and northern Franca
Germany to contribute 15,000,uU) marks a
month for the purchase and importation
of food supplies.
Suitable guarantees to be furnished re
garding the inviolability of food supplies
while in transit through Germany into
Poland, where the distribution is to be
made through the Polish local committees
under the supervision of the American
representatives.
Importations of food by the neutral
commission to be confined to the popula
tions of Warsaw, Lodz, Schenzochow, Vil
na, Kovno, Blala and Ett p (from 3,500.
000 to 4,000,000 persons in and about these
cities); Germany to provide a partial ra
tion for these populations, as well as to
supply the needs of all other parts of the
occupied territory.
Railroad transportation from Danzig,
the port of importation, to the German
Polish frontier at half rate and thence
without charge to the points of destina
tion in Poland.
Ocean transportation of supplies to be
provided by German ships flying a neutral
flag and manned and controlled by neu
trals.
With this tentative agreement In
his possession Mr. Walcott proceeded
to London and made every effort,
through the good offices of Ambassador
Page and In co-oi>eration with Mr.
Hoover, to commend the plan to the
favorable consideration of the British
government and Its allies. As a result
of these efforts the British government
delivered to the American ambassador
on May XI a memorandum setting forth
the terms and conditions upon which
the blockade of German ports would
be relaxed to the extent of permitting
Imports of relief supplies through a
German port.
This memorandum stated that the
consent of the British government to
the proposed scheme of relief would be
given only upon certain additional
conditions, among which the most sig
nificant were the following:
The system of relief in Poland to be ap
plied to the occupied territory as a whole.
Any surplus of local food products in
southern Poland to be employed exclu
sively for the provisioning of northern
Poland.
The constabulary in the occupied terri
tory not to be permitted to requisition
or purchase food imported by the com
mission.
No food supplies to be exported from
Poland unless in the case of an excess of
potatoes over and above the needs of the
entire occupied territory, as certified by
the neutral commission.
The German and Austro-Hungarian
governments to undertake as part of the
present arrangement to supply and care
for the populations of Servla. Albania and
Montenegro.
The next step to be taken was to
ascertain whether the central powers
would agree to the additional eondt
tlons imposed by Great Britain on be
half of the allied governments, and ne
gotiations to this end are now going on.
The appropriation of a million dol
lars by the Rockefeller foundation is
made at this time In order that prompt
advantage may be taken of a favorable
termination of the negotiations, so that
the stream of food may begin to pour
into Poland with the least possible de
lay. At the same time under the terms
proposed the effective relief of Servla
and Montenegro and Allianla would
become possible

OPPORIUIY FOR
THEJPUALIST
Kenal peninsula is of interest to
the Alaska miner because of the fact
that gold In large quantities was Ural
discovered there. This was prior to
the Klondike stampede, and many
comfortable fortunes were made by
the uow crude methods of rocker and
sluice box mining. For a time the
working of placer mines in other
parts of Alaska has overshadowed
its development, but it is again com
ing to the front and displaying pros
pects of an exceptional gold produc
tion. The old methods are being
supplanted by the new scientific ones,
and capital is being employed to
move the almost immeasurable quan
tities of gravel still known to con
tain high values in many parts of the
peninsula.
In the early mining days, the
greatest production of gold was -
made on Bear creek, and thousands
of dollars were taken from its nar
row bed where working under the
methods then prevalent was easy;
but suusequent prospecting has dem
onstrated that tlie great mass of the
creek's wealth has been practically
untouched, and mountains of gravel,
highly impregnated with gold, only
await the advent of scientific mining
to yield up their riches. Alread. j
several hydraulic mining plants have i
been installed in this section of the
country and are being operated with ■ J
the most promising results, and it is j
an assured fact that no mining dis- | !
trict otters such inducements for in
vestments as old Kenai peninsula.
