GREAT DISTRESS IN SPAIN.
Thousands Reported Begging in the
Districts of Andalusia.

A dispatch to the London Express from
Madrid says that thousands of persons are
reported to be starving in Andalusia. A
mob of hungry peasants tried to storm the
army granares at Lebrija, twentynine
miles southwest of Seville. Failing to cap
ture them, the peasants set them on fire.
Hundreds of cattle are dying owing to the
lack of pasture. Two thousand inhabitants
of village near Seville have gone to the
roadside to beg. This Is a permanent re-
source in other places in the famine strick-

Would Foster Carelessness.

IF relief were to be guaranteed for GER
tain classes of accident or certain types of
irresponsible misfortune, it would soon be
observed that men did not prepare for these
exigencies, or even avoid them or help each
other through them as they ought to do.
Present charity may be future right On
the other hand, however, there is a phase
which has recently become so popular that
it is printed every week as the motto of
may be Justice tomorrow This means, I
take 1t, that insane people, for example,
who at first were left to the care of volun-
tary charity, are now provided for by the
state. Imbeciles are still left In many COM
munities to the incompetent treatment of
their own families and immediate charit-
able agencies, but there is a strong proba-
btlity that governmental agencies will and
should provide invariably for their free
custodal care. Possibly the time will come
when the worthy widowed mothers In a
community will be regularly pensioned for
the proper upbringing of their minor chill
dren. Special aid in cases of sickness ac-
cident, or even unemployment may come
to be provided universally by kind OF
compulsory, government insurance. With
such communistic tendencies we need have
no quarrel. Finally, there is nosrule but ade-
quacy. Justice must naturally be universal,
but charity can be wholesome only as 1t is
individualiZed. When the benefciaries of
relief agency can be readily grouped into
large classes there is danger. When all
the recipients of material aims begin to
look alike, it is an evidence that too little
insight has been manifested.

Begins With Material Relief.

''Those individuals among us who have
grown to exemplify the wisest philanthropy
have usually commenced their charitable
activities, as the race did, with material
relief. Mr.. Robert w. De Forest for ex-
ample, has obtained a position of national
leadership in the most advanced forms of
philanthropic work, but his first act of
charity was the gift of a little money and
food to an unknown applicant at his moth
er's door. Both historically and at present
in the race and in the modern individual
charity has usually begun as the mere CIV
ing of lll-considered material doles.
THE corollary proposed If the individual
experience is likely to epitomfze race his
tory Mr.. Weller said, ut may be sugges-
tive to review the charitable developments
OF past years as a guide to living individ-
uals interested in philanthropic work I
should not strain the analogy thus far
however, were 1t not that a historical study
or material relief seems to afford one of
the most effective means of learning its
limitations and dangers
Mr.. Weller then spoke of aIms-giving as
an ancient practice. The first mention is
made where the Hebrews before the time
of Jesus had an elaborate system of poor
relief, which was looked upon as an essen
tial part of religious duty. He quoted
from the Talmud a significant saying: 1.-The
house that does not open to the ,peor shall
open to the physician" Every Egyptian
temple had aims fund for the relief of
the poor. Fifteen centuries before Christ
we read the eloquent praises and the most
urgent commands to give aims

AID FOR THE NEEDY
MEETING OF ASSOCIATED CHART.
TIES YESTERDAY AFTERNOON.
Mr.. Charles F. Weller,s Address on
Material Relief-Discussion Of
Local Work.

The monthly meeting of the Associated
Charities was held last evening at the gen.
erat office, at 81 G. street northwest, at S
o'clock, with good attendance. There was
a general discussion among those present
as to the best way of reaching the needy,
and Mrs Mary c. Rugg led a discussion In
which she outlined plan for the members
of the Associated Charities to cooperate
with the Citizens Relief Association. Mrs.
K. E. Howels spoke of the Golden Book
fund and the work that was being carried
on In the northwest section of the city in
the interest of the poor. 1.-THE Golden Book
fund" Mrs Howels said. is for the paying
of rents for needy persons and for other
things which the charities do not extend
to-"
Mr. Charles F. Weller, the general secre-
tary of the Associated Charities, spoke on
Material Relief, Its Uses Limitations and
Dangers Cosmos and MicrOcosm."
THAT the individual man repeats in his
own development the evolution of his race
is a familiar suggestion he said. 1T is
stated that the growth of one human body
from a simple cell to highly differentiated
organism reviews the age-long evolution
of the race from primitive life forms. 1t is
claimed that the same principle obtains in
social life also, the young boy, for instance,
representing some of the traits, at least, of
our savage or barbarian ancestors. Whether
fact that charitable individuals often epito-
mize in their development from lower to
higher forms of charity the philanthropic
history of the human race
