AMERICAN RELIEF FUNDS
ARE POOR IN CONTRAST
Federal Council Of Churches Issues
Statement Showing Efforts of
Other Nations.
POPULAR DONATIONS SMALL
Belgian Commission Has to Seek Aid
From Entire World, Instead Of
United States Alone, to Help Suf-
fererS.

The nation wide appeal for funds

by the war in Europe and Asia issued
by Tie Federal Council of the Churches
OF Christ in America contains state
| inent Of the facts in regard to the
American efforts at relief which shows
that they contrast poorly win those
of other nations II says in part:
The Belgian Minister OF Finance
stated recently that our country has
given s7,00o.oo0 directly to Belgium. In
other words. only cents per capita /;
while New Zealand. bearing its own
war burdens. has given s1.25 per capita
10 Belgian relief England. staggering
under the war load, has received and
cared for thousands of Belgian refu-
gees. and given millions of pounds be-
sides
POPULAR CONTRIBUTIONS
SMALLER THAN APPEARS
1T was thought that the United
States. the only great nation untouch-
ed by the war, might furnish the food
supplies for Belgium, but the COM
mission was obliged to ask food from
the whole world to save Belgium from
starvation. 1t must be remembered
also that the gifts to Belgium from our
country include the large contributions
from her philanthropic foundations, so
that the total of popular contribu-
tons is smaller than it appears.
THE American Serbian Relief Com
mittee has raised about 100000. Tho
British Serbian Relief Committee three
months ago had raised a million and
half pounds (s7.500.00o) and France
two million francs tS4oe,oo0). To the
Armenians we have given about 81 for
each sufferer, covering the entire Pc
Rod. and this is largely money from
two or three large givers. 1t has not
touched our people as n whole.
This is a pretty fair indication of
the way war relief is being contributed
in other countries beside America 1t
should be said that the Jews Of Ameri-
ca have given In aid of their people
generously.
I'm answer to our inquiries. an Of
ficer OF the Belgian Relief Committee
reports that the total money gifts from
this country to April /, 1915, to all of
the war sufferers was S23.740,3i2. Since
these gifts were compiled, the Bel
gain Commission alone has received
somewhere around s125.00O through the
efforts of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution In celebration Of King
Albert's birthday. OF course, the sums
mentioned do not include the vast
amount of work performed by different
societies. organizations. groups Of wo-
men. etc. who devote a great amount
OF their time to providing all sorts Of
surgical necessities. No price has ever
been put on this material II is mere

AS we go about our accustomed tasks,

fall upon all the people whom we meet;

realized a profit of $4,000 above all ex-

The inaugural balls of Presidents Nc

kinley was the first President to review

The parade reviewed by President Theo-

it was still marching at 8 80 pm, and

intended to be at the inaugural ball were
unable to- get to their hotels and change
their clothes until after 10 o'clock.
