HELP BY WIRELESS
FOR GERMAN NEEDY
Monthly Aid to Berlin-More Than
Million Widows and Orphans.

New York, October per
readers are accustomed. ever since
the days Of Jack Dinns. to tales of
the wireless, and the wonderful work
It has done In the saving OF the lives
OF those who go down to the sea in
ships. But what most persons do not
know is that the wireless is now being
used for the saving of lives on land.
Those rescued are not hardly mari
ners nor error-strIcken passengers Of
ocean liners. but the widows and or
phans of men IN the grip of force
far more terrible and relentless than
the sea Already the health and in
MANY cases the lives OF several hun
bred widowed mothers and their chill
dren have been saved by the mes
sages carried through the ether. and
more are being added every day.
The scheme Is that adopted by tho
American Relief Committee, a coun-
trywide organization, which is raising
a fund for the German widows and
orphans OF the war to overcome the
barriers tho struggle has put in tho
way of communication with Ger
many. The men behind the plan,
prominent Americans of every shade
of opinion, are endeayoring by this
and to the world at large that what
ever path the sympathies of this
country may have trod as far as the
international situation Is concerned
charity rises above craftsmanship.
Americans In Berlin Began IL.
Members of the American colony In
Berlin, under the patronage of Am
bassador Gerard. instituted the
movement. At their instance the
committee on this side was organized.
Figures were shown to prove that
there are now something like 400, 900
widows in Germany. and a total OF
more than a million widows and or
phans. 1t was also shown that the
pension allowed by the German gov
eminent, while ample in more normal
times, falls woefuly short in this era
of high prices.
The crying need of the helpless
ones, they learned. is for money to
exc out their incomes, and bridge
over the gap between starvation and
the necessary minimum of food and
clothing, This tremendous task the
committee undertook. not, indeed.
with any hope of saving the homes
and the lives of all those in want, but
rather to do what they could for the
most needy-the widows with the
largest families and in the greatest
want.
The only positive way OF communi-
eating with Germany in these DAYS of
blockades and censors is via wireless.
and accordingly the wireless has been
called into play. Through a bank in
New York and another in Berlin. con-
nections were established and now.
after weeks OF effort, regular trans
missions of money are being made
through this impalpable medium.
Already, nearly a quarter of g. million
marks have been sent over, sum
which means that more than 400 Ger
man amilies--widows and their chill

SAYS AMERICAN SPIRIT
is OPPOSED TO WAR
It's Because There's Work to Do and
Not Because of Cowardice, Says
Secretary Lane.

PROVIDENCE. r. l., June 21-The
American spirit is against war. not be-
cause Americans are afraid to fight,
but because they are too busy with
other enterprises more important than
war, Franklin X. Lane, Secretary of
the Interior. declared in a commence
ment address at Brown University to-
day The. degree of doctor of laws was
conferred on the Secretary. Charles E
Hughes, republican nominee for Pres
ident, was another honor guest of the
university.
The spirit of America is against
war. not because we have grown cow
ardly and fear DEATH" said Mr.. Lane,
soft, orr even because we have
become conscious converts to the
Prince of Peace. But we in America
have something larger to do. We are
discovering our country We have not
time for war We are doing some
thing so much more important. We are
at work That is the greatest of all
adventures. When war comes to a
democracy it comes because We are not
allowed peacefully to work.
What would we fight for? For
what Roger Williams fought for-to
be let alone, to have the opportunity
to show what man can do for man."
