RELIEF FOR OUR DIPLOMATS.

I F We read the war figures from one angle, the cost
of living in Europe looks only to be a little above
normal, but If our sympathies are of another bias,
We are easily convinced that starvation hangs over a
large part Of Europe.
The best inference as to actual living conditions
abroad probably can be made from a letter which secrc-
tary Of State Lansing sent recently to the house Of rep.
resentatives asking financial relief for our foreign dip.
lomats. The secretary requested a special appropria.
tion Of $4,000 on the ground that all of our diplomatic
officials in Europe are finding 1t necessary to draw on
their private incomes to cover ordinary living expenses.
The secretary does not name any particular country,
but he declares that the cost Of living has increased
more than 800 per cent in many European capitals, and It
is inferred that the economic conditions in neutral coun.
tries reflect conditions in the territory Of the belhgerents.
The cost of living abroad has caused intense anxiety
to thousands OF Americans who have relatives in Europe
to whom they are accustomed to send funds. Therefore.
any exact Information, such as that quoted from Secretary
Lansing's letter. is highly important.
