Children of the Crusade
By JEANNE JUDSON.

Frightened and pitiful, they walk apart,
Through the familiar village street, grown strange,
Hand clasped in hand, they hear weird echoes start
From ruined homes. Fear dumbs each small, child heart.
No tears rain down like dew to ease their woe;
Horror has dried the wells from which they sprang,
Like wee crusaders of the long ago,
Their phantom banners in the breezes blow.
If one should call out Follow" they would run,
Crime of the highway on their tiny feet,
Needless alike of dust and blazing sun,
Forget, as dreams, the horrors that were done.
None calls; weary they rest within the shade,
The ruined church, where once they learned to pray,
Long years before the war had come, and laid
Their homes in ruins, made their hearts afraid.
Before the Holy Mother low they bow,
Perhaps she hears and soon will bring them aid,
1t must be she whose voice is calling now,
For see the cross is shining on her brow!
The light around her head, a nimbus CLEANS,
A Red Cross worker, not from Heaven, they know,
Yet Mary heard and sent her here it seems,
To lead them home to shelter and to dreams.

200 MILLION MUST BE FED
Food Administration Now APP
meals TO a 'WOrld Conscience"

peals to a "WOrld Conscience"
Columbia, Mo-, Dec 2.-Up-
wards Of 200 million people are
looking to this country in their
misery and famine for relief and
the appeal today of the Food Ad-
ministration is larger than the
former appeal to the "war con-
science" of the people of Ameri-
ca. The new appeal Is to the
world conscience" which must
be the guiding inspiration of the
future program for food conSer-
walton. The American people, In
this most critical period of their
history, have the opportunity to
demonstrate not only their abll-
ility to assist in establishing
peace on earth, but also their
conservation, by self-denial, to
the cause of suffering humanity.
This is the message of Her
bert Hoover to the people of this
country which was read in the
churches Sunday. The read
mig of the message on Conserva-
ton Sunday was the first gun
fired in Conservation Week for
world relief. All during this
week meetings will be held in
the interest of world relief.
Special programs have been
planned for the schools and
women's clubs.
Last summer, when the mill
tary situation was acute, the
Inter-Allied food conference was
assured that whatever the war
food program of the Allies re-
Quire, this country was prepar-
ed to meet, Mr.. Hoover said in
his message.
"The ending Of the war does
not release us from this pledge.
The same population must be
fed, and until another season
has passed they cannot feed
themselves" the message said.
"The change in the foreign
situation necessarily alters the
details of our food program, be-
cause the freeing of the seas
from the submarine menace
renders accessible the wheat
supplies of India, Australia, anC
Argentine. The total food de-
mand upon the United States il
not diminished, however. Oh
the contrary, it is increased. Ii
addition to the supplying o
those to whom we are already
pledged, we now have the splen
did opportunity and obligation
of meeting the needs Of thesI
millions of people in the hithert,
J occupied territories who ar,
facing actual starvation. TIL
people Of Belgium, Northern
France, Serbia, Roumania, Mont
r anegro, Poland, Russia an.
Armenia rely upon America TO
immediate aid. We must ais
participate in the preservatio
re Of the newly liberated nation
=. in Austria, nor can we ignor
as the effect on the future worl
to development of a famine cond.
re ton among tho other peopl
whom we have recently releas
ed from our enemies. All thes
considerations mean that W
wards Of 200 million people i
addition to those we are alread
pledged to serve, are now lool
ing to us in their misery an
famine. Our appeal today
therefore larger than the formt
