more deeply interested at the time in his own war-ending enterprise. He promised financial support, however without naming an specific sum. That he is likely to be, after the present fiasco, extremely chary of war relief enterprises for long time to come is the opinion generally expressed among many of his followers and the possibility is frequently suggested that this may prevent him from be- coming a very prominent figure in the Lindsey project. This will not dis courage the Lindseys. As soon as they have gathered necessary data and statistics they will return to the United States to launch their cam paign for funds.

 orally which could not but dwarf their development and embitter their lives. The present war is so much greater that the situation must be still worse unless remedial steps are taken on a huge scale.
 Already it is terrible The stories I have heard are almost beyond be- lief, yet most of them undoubtedly are true. As have not yet been able to verify individual cases I am not ready to give them out, but my first work will be to compile a long list of them, fully authenticated, as proof of the necessity for a vast home-fnding campaign" The Lind seys will seek funds wherever they are to be had, but it is to American muntiOn makers, as the wars chief benefciaries, that they look for their biggest contributions.
 " have never agreed" says the judge, with those who think our munition makers have done wrong. ! It's my view that so long as there was a war, they had a right to sell their product to anyone who wanted it. However, l do feel sure under the circumstances that they will be glad tO.give freely to help the orphans the war has made" Fifty million dollars is the sum Judge Lindsey suggests tentatively as an adequate fund for the home-fnding plan.
 Probably it will take two or three years" he admits, Ito raise so much, but it ought to be possible to raise enough for a start on large scale | within, say, six months. Naturally our work will lead us into relations with the belligerent governments and | think it more than likely we may thus find an opportunity to make peace suggestions. It must be taken into consideration that we will be en- gagged in a concrete good work, which the government unquestionably will appreciate, so we shall not be on the same footing as the present expedi- ton.
 "Clearly, too, it is a move the war ring countries must welcome, for with the terrible burden of taxation they will have to bear after the war it will be impossible for them to do much re- lief work of their own.
 "The belligerents would never con- sent to the transfer of large numbers of their children to other lands, nor would it be for the good of thechildren or of the world at large. Where pos sible the aim must be to help war widows keep their children together. For little ones who have lost both fathers and mothers, homes must be found in other families. There will have to be close supervision, that we may be sure our wards are we'll cared for. If my own services should be needed, l would even be willing to resign the judgship of the juvenile court until the system can be thor oughly established.
 "There must be a big agency open ed at some central point in Europe, with branches in every country where the war has ragged, and with still smaller branches and field officials in many localities. To my mind the work will be the most important sequel to the war"
