IMMEDIATE RELIEF
IN BALKANS URGENT
Conditions So Serious That spc-
cial Appeal Will Be Issued
This Week.

Especial Cable to Tho Times Dispatch
London, December g. As q result
OF the widespread publ ity given to
the appeals Of the Mace, oman Relief
Fund Committee, Bertra, Christian,
chairman Of tho committee. to-day re-
ceived scores OF offers of isistence.
Among tho contributors were many
notable mon. including Thomas Gibson
Bowles. the well-known econoi list :
General Sir Alfred Turner and r. B..
Cunninghame-G Graham.
Mr. Christian, who recently returned
from an inspection OF the entire az
tec'ed area In tho Balkans. said to-day
that the conditions there are SO serious
mat the fund committee will Issue
Special appeal this week. In which
CHRISTIAN will describe tho exact con-
dit,ons he found In the Balkans
Tho necessities OF the inhabitants Of
the Balkans arc moro extreme this
winter than ever before said Chris
tan Scores OF villages have been
evacuated. and thousands of Bulgars
arc crowding into the already over
crowded towns. Although many OF
these destitute creatures are now quar-
tered long distance from their homes
and they have lost all OF their pos
sessions, all OF them are eager to re-
turn to their villages. II the prob
lem OF their maintenance during tho
present winter Is solved. they will have
Tor the frat time the prospect OF free
dom and assured subsistence without
further aid from abroad
AT present thls problem has not
been solved, and relief Is most urgent
In
to alleviate the most profound misery
and starvation which now exists
II Is generally recognized that tho
SITUATION Is grave enough to call for
some action by the powers, but as yet
nothing has been done.
The hostilities during tho past sum-
mer In various parts Of the Balkans.
and the general unrest In Albania re,
suited In an almost total loss of tho
harvests. This has resulted In thous-
ands OF families. who would be self
supporting under normal circumstan-
ces, moving to Sofia and other large
towns. These families must be cared
for at least, even though they are not
returned to their farms"
Mr.. Christian showed a letter from
G. II Greig, British vice-consul Mt
Monastir, dated December 8, In which
the latter says:
The need for immediate relief has
become SO genuine that l have been
forced to telegraph for funds sufficient
to assist portion OF the sufferers
II is impossible to exaggerate the fear
fui condition of the refugees who have
oeen pouring In from the ruined vii
lagos During the past three weeks
5000 refugees have applied for help.
and more than 1000 inhabitants OF this
town have done the same. Those
refugees who contrived to spend the
summer on their devastated farms are
now hocking Into the towns. and few
OF them have any clothing on their
backs. let alone money or food What
iocal help there was has run dry, and
II now seems necessary for England
and the United States to step In and
assist In this highly deserving cause"

explained. IL nervous phenomena OF the
brain. Swallowing "a small cigar shaped
rubber balloon. which had been fitted with
long rubber tubes, he inflated the balloon
In his stomach through the tubes and then,
attached the latter to sensltlzed paper.
Hunger. he declared caused the muscles
OF the stomach to grip the balloon ard drive
out the air. This registered the amount OF
hunger the sensitized paper. White rats
