impossible TO conceive how it could have been
uttered. Real distress is the only condition
for obtaining assistance from this committee.
1t acts exclusively through local organize
tons, which include clergymen and represent
alive laymen of all denominations and opin-

ton between sufferers. This committee meets
three times weekly, and is composed of rep
resentative men of all shades of opinions,
whose sole anxiety is to keep their fellow
countrynen from perishing of hunger. The
meetings of this committee are open to the
press. Also, with reference to the state
ment alleged to have been made at Roches-
ter, n. Y, it is hardly necessary to say that
no individual newspaper was privy to the or
ganization of the fund, and that it is utterly
incorrect to say that any outsider paid for
the kilograms sent by the committee. The
first telegram the committee itself paid for.
Subsequent kilograms, including this one,
were sent free through the Associated Press
by the generosity of the Apglo-American
Telegraph Company.
