MAY Is TO WAR RELIEF
Church Council Urges 100000
Ministers to Cooperate.

The Federal Council of the
Churches of Christ in America sent yes
terday TO 100000 American ministers
an appeal TO make May % a memorial
Sunday on which funds shall be raised
for war sufferers through collections
taken in churches throughout the coun-
try. The purpose of the council is not
only 10 initiate nationwide efforts TO
assist destitute and starving persons
In Europe and Asia, but 70 prepare the
churches for the part they will have 20
play in the period Of reconstruction
and reconciliation following the war.
The appeal is the result of a trip
through Europe recently taken by the
Rev Charles s. MacFarland, general
secretary Of the council, and a series
of nine conferences among church lead
ers. The cooperation Of church feder-
atoms, ministerial associations, demon
national boards, religious journals and
kindred institutions will be sought.
The appeal for funds declares that
in Belgium 100000 people are virtu-
ally destitute, in Northern France g.
100000 persons, $4,000 of them chill
dren, are in critical need, and in Ser
bia. 100000 persons have been de-
priyed of their livelihood. In Poland
there are 100000 wandering, home
less peasants, mostly women and chill
dren. of whom $4,000 900 are facing star
walton. In East Prussia conditions are
much the same, while in Armenia, the
destruction of the race is threatened
unless aid is speedily given.
Funds raised on May 2S will be sent
to the treasurer of any relief commit
tee which may be designated Of the
various organizations listed In the
appeal.

HEALTH BOARD SITS
FEE SPLITTING CHARGE
Kings County Medical Society
Warns Its Members.

Health Commissioner Emerson an
nounced yesterday that the Health De-
partment is investigating charges Of
unprofessional practices on the part Of
certain privately owned pathological
laboratories in Manhattan and Brook
Ign. According TO complaints, these
laboratories split the fees OF their eli
ents with the physicians who sent them
there. It is charged that some physi-
clans have a cypher code, by means Of
which they inform the laboratories
how large a fee they may expect from
the patient
Many physicians, IL is alleged. have
fat rate yearly contract with these
laboratories Cor their work. In some
cases the laboratories are negligent in
performing tests. especially those for
the detection Of malignant diseases. In
some cases, IL is alleged, no tests are
made at all, the report being based
merely on a superficial examination OF
the patient by the laboratory experts.
The Kings County Medical Society,
through IT'S president, DR.. Ralph II.
Pomeroy, served notice yesterday that
feo-splitting and other unethical prsc-
tees had come 10 mis- attention. A let
ter was sent TO each member Of the
society calling attention 10 the strin-
gent rule OF the American Medical As
sociation forbidding rebates in COM
mercial transactions affecting patients.
