STARVING MEXICANS
TO GET SPECIAL AID
Relief Society Hears That Hun
dreds Are Dying of Hunger
More Help for Europe.

The Special Relief Society, which has
been concerned chiefly with supplying
materials for convalescent soldiers in
Europe, announced yesterday that 1t
is to increase the scope Of their re-
lief work to include cooperation with
the National Mexican Relief Committee
of the American Red Cross.
The society recently has received re
ports from Mexico saying that condi-
lions there are worse than at first re-
ported, and that no immediate relief is
in sight. Hundreds Of poems IN the
outlying districts are dying from lack
of food. Similarly distressing condl-
tons prevail along the west coast.
when a Loatload Of grain was un-
loaded recently at Acapulco, so great
was the rush CT the famished people
TO get a few handfuls of grain that
children were trampled to death ana
many women were injured.
Another innovation for the Special
Relief Society will be large contribu-
ton of wool to the Tom Brown knitting
class at Sing Sing prison.
Mrs. Borden Turner writes from Field
Hospital No. /, Sth French Army, for
whose support she has instituted fund
in this country, that the work in che
hospital is making splendid progress.
william Wolverton offered the hospital
q completely equipped motor ambu-
lance, together with the money for It's
running expenses and his own services
Other relief contributions acknowl-
edged yesterday were: Persian War
Relief, $3.50; Serbian Agricultural, sl9,-
27S, including $4,000 from the Boston
committee, and Lafayette Fund, Sill.

arranging for an American meet
ing in Independence Hall. Philadel-
phia, which they purpose to hold in
July. This meeting will be attended
by representatives Of the various well
fare organizations and by individuals
interested in the cause of better de-
velopment Of the race.
"The time has come, believe,
said Mrs. Brown, when the rights OF
the child must be placed before the
interests of commerce. In the seven
hundred years Of democracy's devel-
opment the child has had but little
attention from the leaders Of the ma
tions. Yet the child is the important
factor of human life. We feel that
this is the opportunity long awaited
wherein the cause Of childhood will at
last receive q most necessary atten-
ton. And after seven hundred years
Of democracy we are planning to get
for the children q Magma Charta OF
their own"
Edward F. Brown, who outlined the
international programme for child
care. is the head of the Bureau OF
Welfare of School Children in New
York City and secretary Of the School
Lunch Committee.

equity of nations? Not war babies, not
war orphans merely, but the whole
status Of childhood in the world shall
find a voice at the wars end. il the
plan of the international Welfare
League to make the cause of childhood
heard to gain the worlds ear wins.
DR. G. Stanley Hall, DR.. Albert Shaw,
Anthony Camietti and Mrs. Florence
Kelley are among the officers Of this
leaghe, which asks that; not the mere
feeding and clothing of children or
phaned by the war is enough. As well,
they feel that by some constructive
and educational plan the childhood of
the future must be protected against
the evils bred Of wars and the cause
of childhood given some self-reliant
strength through a code of children's
rights-an international Magma Charta,
that shall diminish paternalism and
ring in a new democracy.
"The child is the most dsregarded
and pitable figure in the whole war
drama of Europe to-day" said Edward
F. Brown, author of the plan for this
international protectorate, to me. THE
father is removed from the family.
The mother is put into factories that
she may perform the work of men. And
the child is left without its natural
protectors. Little or nothing is done TO
save this future citizen, and he is left
10 care for himself as best he can.
Items Of thousands of boys are work
ing in the fields of Great Britain in
stead Of being in schools, and the
schools, according TO an educational
journal which ! received from London,
are being used for the accommodation
Of the soldiery.
"The ammunition factories Of Eng
land are manned by women who are
the mothers and the prospective
mothers of the race, for the men are
either at war or dsinclined to work.
Starvation has driven these poor wom-
en- into labor beyond their natural
strength. This is but one Of the many
abnormal conditions of the world war,
and it means that future generations
will not yield sound bodies to support
the ideals of peace. In short, it is the
survival of the unfit. The fit are going
to war to be killed off or to return
manned and burden on their coun-
try. And with the mothers of the ma
ton badly nourished and overworked,
the children neglected and growing
girls prey for drunken soldiery moth
ing but a decadent race can be ex-
pected

Fresh Air Fund and Keans-

Beach Party.
700 THERE, NOT TO
SAY LUNCH BOXES
Band Missing? Ish kebibble,
We Have Voices-Trip and
Stop Please All.

The Tribune Fresh Air Fund and the
Keansburg Boat Company Joined forces
yesterday TO give 700 mothers and chill
dren a days outing at Kesnsburg, y. j.
The party left the Battery aboard the
Keyport, Of the Keansburg Line, at
$3.50 in the morning, arrived at keans-
burg ST IL o'clock, spent about I'VE
hours on the beach and started for
home a little after in the afternoon.
II was a typical picnic crowd that
gathered al the starting place. IL far
ly bulged with lunch-some OF 1t
jammed in jacket pockets, some OF u
crammed in satchels, much OF II, OF
course, slowed in shoe boxes. THAT
is to say, the crowd-also had its hats
well clewed down with hatpins or an
chored to buttonholes with strings; ad-
visedly so, too, for there was a stiff
wind sweeping up the bay when the
lines were cast off and the boat slid
away from the bulkhead.
The crowd didn't mind the wind,
however Wasn't it out for fresh air ?
In fact, all the juvenile portion of the
party, as soon as 10 crossed the gang
plank, both on the outward and return
trips, rushed for places "up 'front.'
where il might be sure Of getting all
the fresh air going.
Like all picnic crowds. this one, after
IL had finished its inspection of the
boat, settled down TO sing all the songs
it knew. IL sang them, too, with an
abandon possible only in a crowd that
learns its tunes from hurdy gurdles
and that enjoys only few off days in
the year.
There was only one disappointment
in the days programme. That was
caused by"t the failure of tire band OF
the East Side House Settlement TO APP
pear. The band was scheduled 10 lead
the singing. but at the last moment
1t was forced TO send regrets. Judging
by the volume of sound produced. how
ever. the band wasn't really seriously
/ missed.
At the beach the weather was a lit
/ tie too cold to permit Of call over"
bathing, but every boy and girl-and
! some that had been boys and girls a
| long while ago-went wading. All tho
| youngsters tried the merry-go-round.
! too, some on the strength Of spare
nlckels they possessed. others because
some one one may have told the man
who collects the tickets to shut both
eyes every once in a while when the
/ crowd was piling aboard.
I IL did other things. did this crowd
/ in fact. it did about everything there
was TO be done. not forgetting, OF
course, to eat the luncheon it had
| brought along. There were so many
things to be done. so much fun to be
had. indeed, that it was some time after
the scheduled sailing time of the Key
/ port before'the crowd could be rounded
UP for the return trip. This was finally
/ accomplished. however. and the party
, was landed at the Battery at o'clock,
/ nearly on time.
The success of the days outing was
/ largely due to the Keansburg Boat
Company. 1t gave the use of the boat
| and the beach free. The tickets for
! the outing were distributed through

"a campaign ~ education is needed,

an the volumes of green, red, white

reference to treaties securing the in
tegrity Of land and all sorts of com
mercial rights, but not one word about
the child, the seed Of the future.
after seven hundred years Of the
development of the Magma Charta the
right of the child is more than any
other still ignored. Indeed, all that has
been done since King John was COM
PEELED TO give that charter to the PEG
pie of England is to change from po-
litical 10 industrial servitude, and the
child is the greatest sufferer in this
servitude. What we want is n Magma
Charta or the child. This will mean
a fighting chance for the race Of men,
To accomplish its purpose the Com
mittee on Care of Children in War
ring Countries will appoint a national
committee in every country in Eu-
rope, belligerent and non-combatant.
The chairman Of all these national
groups will constitute q central inter
national council These committees
will comprise the eminent persons of
Europe interested in child welfare.
Mr.. Brown is the secretary, and he
has already started his machinery in
motion by communicating with such
persons as Ambassadors Gerard and
Whitlock, as well as those persons in
terested in welfare work whom the
International Child Welfare League
has upon its correspondence list. The
State Department has also been ap-
pealed to for its help in organizing
this new movement.
The first work which the foreign
committees will be requested to do
will be to gather information as to
the specific unfavorable conditions af-
fecting the children of their country.
They will be also asked to advise the
central committee what governmental
as well as unofficial steps have been
taken or are in contemplation to
ameliorate these conditions.
When the information is gathered
from all the countries with sugges-
tons from the leaders Of thought the
International Child Welfare League
will call an international conference
on child care. This league plans to
have this conference take place in
some European capital, preferably at
The Hague.
