Achievements.
London.—Some time ago the king of the Belgians conferred on Herbert C. Hoover, the founder and first president of the commission for relief in Belgium, the title of "friend of Belgium." To commemorate the conferring of this unique title, the Belgian order of St. John of Jerusalem has opened a subscription for the purpose of offering Mr. Hoover an address, and also a work of art symbolizing the life which this American managed to maintain in the oppressed country during the German occupation. The Belgian army joined in the movement and each unit has sent a subscription. The contribution from the army alone is more than $3,500.
