OPENS COFFERS TO BELGIANS Oil King's Pet Philanthropic Organization Also Plans Inquiry Into Industrial Relations, Seeking to Prevent Future Mine Wars. York, Dec.

Rockefeller foundation already has spent about 000 for the relief of the starving Belgians. The foundation further is ready to spend millions of dollars, if necessary, in this direction. This announcement is contained in a statement detailing the activity of the foundation, which was authorized tonight by John D. Rockefeller, as president of the foundation. The statement was issued "because the international interest aroused in the work- of the Rockefeller foundation through its efforts in behalf of Belgian relief has led to innumerable inquiries for details as to its work and regarding the relief work in Belgium.

The statement says further: The foundation, has food, thus 4,000 far tons, to dispatched Belgium, one which already. has been received and distributed; it is now loading a second ship in New York harbor, which will 6,500 tons; and has purchased for delivery at Philadelphia a third ship, 280,000 bushels of wheat. These three shiploads represent an expenditure of about $1,000,000. It has also sent a commission to Europe to advise as to how and where further relief to noncombatants may be most effectively provided, and is to spend millions of dollars if necessary in this direction." Aid New York Poor. The foundation also has just voted to contribute $45,000 to assist in -the relief of the poor in New York city, realizing that the war and the industrial depression have created great want at and acting upon requests from various local charities." The statement cites the fact that the federal commission on industrial relations is contemplating an investigation of the foundation's plan to conduct an inquiry into industrial relations, and regarding this branche of the foundation's work says: "Next in public interest to the Belgian relief work has been the establishment of department for the investigation of industrial relations, to: direct which Mr.

Mackenzie King, former minister of labor of Canada, has been appointed. "For several years past Mr. John D. Rockefeller and his advisers have had under consideration the establishment of an organization for social and economic research. Upon the establishment of the Rockefeller foundation one of the first matters discussed was the ability of the organization of such an institution, and a committee of leading economists and business men was created to consider whether such an organization could wisely be established.

Would Prevent Mine War. While the general subject of economic research was under consideration the industrial disturbances in Colorado impressed the president of the foundation with the great need of finding an effective means of preventing such conflicts and caused him to urge a far reaching study of industrial relations as the most important immediate inquiry to which the foundation could direct its attention. of the passion aroused in Colorado and many divergent interests involved there it was felt that the foundation itself should not interfere in that situation, but that it was of the utmost consequence that the root causes of that and similar disturbances should be ascertained and, if possible, removed, not only in Colorado but elsewhere. Rockefeller foundation is- moreover a large owner of corporate securities and in that capacity is itself directly concerned in maintaining harmonious relations between the companies in which it is interested and its employes. It was therefore felt that if the foundation could work out on a basis commensurate with sound economics a substantial improvement in the relations between capital and labor, it would not only be discharging its obligations as indirectly a large employer of labor, but would also perform for the general public a greater service than it could render along usual philanthropic lines.

It was also felt that there was hardly anything the foundation could do which was more important. "Mr. King has from the outset indicated to the foundation his desire to avoid any form. of organization which may cause it even to appear that his work is intended to rival or encroach upon the work of existing organizations and in particular the work properly assignable to government departments. and agencies." Cornell Poorly Located.

Ithaca, N. Dee. financial disadvantage of geographical isolation, as far as athletics are concerned is strikingly illustrated in the statement of the receipts and expenditures of the Cornell Athletic association for the year ending August 31, 1914. In spite of the fact that Cornell ranks among the leading institutions of the country in every branch of sport, the athletic association's financial statement shows that the income from the various games is probably lower than that of aby of her great competitors. The statement shows that during the fiscal year ending August 31 the receipts of the athletic association were $90,142.65, and the total expenditures $93,148.65, leaving a deficit for the year of $3,000.

This deficit is chargeable mainly to permanent improvements to property of the association and additional expanse incurred in the maintenance of Bacon hall, the new baseball cage, which was opened only a year ago. With the track teams and crews showing a big financial loss, nothing bat the sale of the season tickets pulled the association through. Direct undergraduate support of athletics, as represented by the sale of season tickets, amounted to $18,811. Vote to Strike. St.

Gutier-1 rez, the provisional president of Mexico, sustained by the Aguascalientes conference, together with Gens.

The occupation of the capital, however, was not confirmed by press dispatches from the south, which for the last few days have failed to arrive at the border. The delay in entering the Mexican capital has been attributed by the' Carranza element to a misunderstanding between the northern and southern leaders. Villa agents declared that it caused by fear that Carranza troops had mined the central part of the city.

George C. Carothers, the agent of the Washington state department, with Villa, had visited Gen. Zapata just before the two chiefs decided to join.

Lodz, the second city of Poland, and lying seventy-five miles to the west southwest of Warsaw, has fallen to the German army, It was occupied Sunday, according to the official announcement from Berlin. Around this.

Important town a desperate battle has raged for days. Here countless thousands have fallen in desperate hand to hand conflicts and from the shells of hundreds of guns. It was evident of the occupation by the Germans that the heaviest kind of fighting has been going on, for late advices told a vicious attack and bombardment of Lodz, and fighting on the outskirts of the city, and previous to, that, of operations twenty miles west of Piotrkow, which lies considerably south of Lodz, and along a line from -Glowno, sixteen miles northeast of Lodz, to the Vistula river. Lodz has been an objective point of the Germans. It has grown in recent years from an insignificant place to be one of the most populous cities in the Russian empire.

In 1910 its population numbered 415,604, and with this important place as a base, it is expected that the Germans will make a strong effort to reach the Polish capital of Warsaw. Regarding the other operations the east, the Servian war office reports Servian successes on the whole front, with the capture of 2,400 men and four complete batteries. On the other hand Vienna reports that the Austrian troops are gaining ground to the south of Belgrade. In Flanders and the north of France, Sunday was comparatively quiet, the French war office having nothing to report, and no marked successes on either side were reported in that territory for the previous day. While the attitude of Rumania from an official standpoint is not yet known, a Swiss newspaper asserts that Rumania has decided to enter the war on the side with the allies.

The time for doing so, however, has not been determined upon. Forty British and French warships have assembled at some place, the name of which is not given in the dispatch, making this announeement to "force their way through." It is probable that the correspondent intended to foreshadow an effort by the allied ships to break through the Dardanelles, but the name evidently came under the eye of a censor. A German field marshal, Baron von Dergoitz, who spent many years in reorganizing the Turkish army, is reported to be on his way to Constantinople to attach himself to the entourage of the sultan. Petrograd says that the Turkish cruiser Humidieh has been damaged by a mine and has returned to Constantinople.

An official statement from the German general headquarters given out earlier in the day was as follows: "The report given in the Russian statement of November 29 that the German attacks in the vicinity of -Czenstochowa failed, with many casualties to the Geris false, the truth being quite the mans, contrary, The attack of the Seventeenth Russian corps, which approached to within sixty-five yards of our lines, was repulsed, the Russians taking positions further back and leaving a large number of killed and wounded.

"Southeast of Arandjelovac there is stubborn fighting without decision. Three hundred prisoners were taken yesterday." Ridicules German Claims.

Petrograd, 6, via London, 11:40 p. -An official statement issued here describes as ridiculous the German claims of having captured a great number of prisoners, cannon and machine guns. It says that the armies have, been fighting continuously and that impossible to estimate the losses. "This fact," continues the statement, prevents us from publishing an official denial, as the general staff carefully avoids giving any, details that have not been verified. "On the other hand, the German denial that they have lost a single gun is covered by the fact that in Brzeziny district alone we took from them twentythree guns and a large amount of spoils.

As to German prisoners, 10,000 have passed one point alone of our front where prisoners are registered. "Neither do the Germans mention the supply columns which they burned nor the cannon and ammunition which they abandoned in the forests and which we are gradually finding. Germans also conceal the losses which they sustained in the November fighting, although they were fearful. "Several German divisions, especially that of the guards, have been SO severely tried during their efforts to escape our clutches that they have completely disappeared from the front in order to recuperate and reorganize their formation."

m. -With reference to statements implying that Great Britain ever contemplated violation of Belgian neutrality, the British' foreign office issued tonight a record of the conversation which Sir Edward Grey, secretary for foreign affairs, had with the Belgian minister on April 7, 1913: "In reporting the conversation to the British minister in Belgium Sir Edward Grey said it had been brought to his attention that there was no apprehension in Belgium that England would be the first to violate Belgian neutrality. "He pointed out to the minister that he did not think this apprehension could have come from a British source, and he was sure England would not be the first to violate the neutrality of Belgium. What England had to consider was what it was desirable and necessary for England, as one of the guarantors of Belgian neutrality, to do if Belgian neutrality ward were Grey violated continued: by any power. Sir Ed'For us to be the first to violate-1 and to send troops into.

Belgium would be to give Germany, for instance, justification for sending troops into Belgium. Also what we desired in the case of Belgium, as in that of other neutral countries, was that their neutrality should be respected, and as long as it is not violated by any other power we should not send troops ourselves into their XMAS SHIP SAILS ON.
