Home, Aid Society and

Three of the more important asso
Citations of the city engaged in work
among needy children have been con-
sulting over a proposition to merge the
three organizations in one for more
efficient effort.
At meeting of the managers of
the Children's Industrial Home on
Monday, after thoroughly discussing
the matter. a resolution was adopted
agreeing to cooperate with the Chill
dren's Aid Society and the Nursery
Home Association. but the sentiment
was against any merger which would
destroy the identity of the Children's s
Industrial Home, one of the oldest in
stitutions of the city. Yesterday fur
ther conferences were held between
those interested in the Children's Aid
Society and the Nursery Home with
representatives of the Children's In
dustrial Home and the Directors of
the Poor. The matter was threshed
out at some length and all kinds of
suggestions were submitted, but no
agreement as to the consolidation of
the three institutions was reached.

MISS BUEHLER TELLS
. Of WAR TORN EUROPE
How Little Holland Is Bearing
Up Under Increased
Responsibilities

Miss Martha Wolf Buehler. who ar
North Second street, after years trip
abroad, is being kept busy telling of
her travels, especially since war was
declared in Europe.
Miss Buehler Joined Miss Mary Rob-
inson and the Misses Fleming, of this
city, last June for a tour of Norway
and on their return they went at once
to Berlin. where they remained in
safety and comfort until the end of
September. Having booked passage
on the Rotterdam, of the Hamburg
American Line. for October 3, they
went to the land of dykes September
20 and found that their boat, contain
ing a cargo of copper, was held by the
British. John Bull had declared the
metal contraband. At Dover they had
to wait until October Is, when the
matter was adjusted.
In Holland were 1900 Americans
awaiting transportation home. With
the number of Belgian rufgees ever
increasing, it's own army mobilized on
the border. the little country is quite
overwhelmed with its responsibility
and lack of facilities for caring for
the increased population. Her indus
tries are paralyzed for lack of coal
Much suffering prevails, especially
among the working people.
Miss Buehler says that in Berlin
everything was quiet. although there
was an undercurrent of war felt every
where. 1t was wonderful to see the
quick organization of the relief funds
for families of the soldiers; commit
ices for Red Cross work and soup
kitchens and lunchrooms for the
needy. In their pension on the ground
floor there was a lunchroom, where
the young girls took their turn in
assisting, and at all tables in restau-
rants there are boxes for contributions
for the Red Cross work. Women of
all classes are knitting, knitting, all
the time the heavy woolen stockings
for the soldiers. These hose outwear
anything that can be bought and are so
comfortable on the long marches.
In Berlin the theaters and concerts
have been resumed, for the musicians
and actors must be supported. Miss
Buehler says her party was able to sec
and hear plays and music much as
though there was no war. They found
that most of the trouble of foreigners
was lack of ability to speak the lam
guage. They spoke German all the
while, everywhere. and always wore a
little American flag.
