Success obtained in lowering the cost of
living in Washington through two CO.
operative experiments now in progress
may result In the extension throughout
the country of a system OF cooperative

Both experiments were started as the
result of community activities in public
schools OF this city. Both have proved SO
successful that representatives OF the
Hoover food administration are taking a
keen personal interest in the methods en-
ployed and representatives of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture are cooperating as
far as possible. In the meantime. about
200 families in each community are eff

and cents.
Added impetus is expected TO be
given the movements at a meeting
Monday night at the Wilson Normal
School. when two 1--WE dollars worth"

food and are in many cases i'll. in Char
kov. Polatava and other cities immedi-
ately beyond the reach of the invading
forces, and which. through the collapse
of the Russian offensive in Galicia, are
more particularly affected.
The nationwide appeal for funds is
made by the central committee for the
relief of the Jews suffering through the
war, of which Leon Kamaiky is chair
man, with headquarters at 81 Chambers
street New York.
The circular letter sent out to all
Jewish societies says that. dispatches
received through the State Department
show that frightfui havoc wrought by
the Germans in the recent advance of
their armies into Russia, brought suf-
fering and death among the non-com-
Blatant population. These cables, the
letter explains, indicate that the Jews
in the territory newly occupied by the
German armies due to the Russian re-
treat have suffered the most severely,
and that there are hundreds of thou
sands of new Jewish refugees as a con-
sequence. The cables are from Herman
Bernstein. a director of the central COM
mittee, now in Russia. and prominent
Jews in Russia.

MISS LATHROP ARGUES
FOR SOLDIERS INSURANCE
Children's Bureau Chief Urges
House Members to Approve
Measure.

Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the fed
eral childrens bureau. appeared before
, the Interstate and foreign commerce
committee of the House today and
lchampioned the cause of children whose
fathers may fall on the fields of battle
in France. She appeared as witness
on the proposed big change in the pen
ance schedule is to be set up by the
government and insurance sold to SOL
diers at the actual cost.
However. Miss Lathrop pointed out
that because a widow is to be allowed
a certain amount of money for each
child is no reason why she should not
also have the benefit, Of $4,000 of life
insurance which could be bought for
her out of her husbands Army pay.
The allowances for dependent chill
dren under the proposed bill are meager
enough, to use Miss Lathrop's words.
They run from $40 to about SIS, ac-
cording to the number of dependent
children.
Miss Lathrop gave scientific figures
to show the cost of living and the in
creased prices Of necessities, and de-
clared that unless the pending insur-
ance bill provides for a regular in
surance policy for the widow and an
allowance for the children there will
be repetition of the conditions after
the civil war.
I'VE will have soldiers homes and
soldiers orphan asylums" she said,
only this time 1t will be increased a
thousand fold. The allowances for chill
dren alone are not sufficient to support
family, and therefore / beg that the
insurance features be left untouched
and that the allowances be permitted
to remain In as we'll"
Miss Lathrop argued also that such
orphaned children IL brought up in in
situations and with meager allowances
would probably not be as strong fac
tors in the development of the coun-
try as they would be under better al
lowances.

POPE THINKS BELGIUM
SHOULD GET INDEMNITY
Believes Restoration Of Serbia Es-
sential, Though Not Mention
ing It in Note.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON. August 24.-Telegrams re-
ceived here from Rome say that prom
inent persons at the Vatican, inter
preting the papal peace note. assert
that Pope Benedict believes an in
demnity is necessary for the restoration
of Belgium and northern France. and
also that the Pope takes the view that
restoration of Serbia is essential, but
did net mention it in his note, as he
believed the whole Balkan question
could be dealt with more effectively
by negotiation as a separate problem.
From the same source II is said that
issuance of the peace note was pre-
coded by unofficial conversations with
prominent Germans in an endeayor to
obtain Germany's consent to provisions
for restoration of invaded territories.
