SHOCKING CONDITIONS.
Money Given for War Relief Work Less
Than Profit on Sales.

1t will doubtless prove great sur
prise to many Chronicle readers to
learn that the actual profits on the
supplies furnished to the Belgian war
sufferers Is more than the total amount
given by the American people for that
worthy cause. The following taken
frem the Outlook:
TOTAL CONTRIBUTIONS. sEg
2 THE total contributions of food,
clothing and money so tar collected in
the United States are little less than
$4,000, 600. In the aggregate this is a
large sum, but reduced to per capita
basis it makes a somewhat poorer
showing, especially IN view Of the fact
that the commission has spent over
$125, 600, 600, in this country OF more
than fourteen times the amount Of the
American contributions. The United
States has contributed cents per cap
ita to Belgian relief, Great Britain l8
cents, Canada l8 cents, Australia $1.23,
New Zealand 81. SO and Tasm ANA S6. So
per capita.
"The United States, at conserva.
tive estimate. has made cash profit
of SIS, 900, 900, on the purchase of sup
plies IN this country by the commls-
sion. 1t has contributed to the cause
less than $9,000,O0O. There Is a dis
agreeable discrepancy in these figures.
We Americans have made more money
out of Belgian sufferlngs than we nave
given to relieve that suffering. Can
anyone doubt that as soon as the people
realize these figures they will change
themY'
In the matter of the Armenians the |
case IS even worse. Their natural and
only allies are the Christian people OF
the world. IncomparabIy the worst
sufferers OF the war. they are actually !
starving by the tens OF thousands. |
Unless Americans save them they will
not be saved. Despite all the efforts
already made for Armenian relief,
there needs to be some new. dramatic
and intense concentration OF attention
upon the plight OF this oldest of
Christian nations.
That box IS still IN the postoffice
waiting to receive your donations for
the starving and dying people in the
European war zone. 1t is claimed that
three cents Will save humna life tor
one day. Have you saved life for
one day? If you have not, you have
not done what you can; no matter how
small your earnings you can spare
three cents. Don't let another day
pass without putting as small an
amount as HREE CENTS IN that box.
You can rssslbly miss the three cents
and it VIII save a human life for one
day.

DEGREES IN THE CASES.
Findings Of Judge Roberts in the Cross
vile Election MuddIe.

In our issue of last week we made
an effort to give the facts relative to
the recent municipal election and
thought we had made the matter so
clear that any future reference need
not be made to 1t and this case co1ld
be allowed to pass without further no
tice. All realize that 1t was an unfOs-
tunate occurance and one that could
only result IN evil for our town and we
had hoped to dismiss the matter for all
time and thus let it pass out of the
public mind. But some of the attor-
neys in the case feel that their side of
the case will not be given as it should
be until the two DEGREES rendered by
Judge A. II. Roberts are given to the
public. 1t being the purpose of the
publisher to treat all parties to the suit
with equal fairness, we publish here
the two decrees as requested, while we
would have personally much preferred
to have nothing further to say or pub
hsh relative to It, The two DEGREES
follow:
