A. II. Hurst, chairman Of the Ma

the relief committee has its hesdqusr-
tiers, TO awaken Americans to Ru-
mania's needs.
Nearly three-fourths Of Rumania is
occupied by the armies Of the Central
Powers to-day he said yesterday.
This means that hundreds Of thou
sancs Of civilians have been driven
from their homes. Thousands of these
arc without food or shelter.
Russia has been attempting GER
tain amount of relief, but 1t must be
evident that a great nation who ~ her
self at war is not capable OF caring for
hundreds Of thousands Of civilians IN
