Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll Of death. The Armenian popula.
tion is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and in Greece, Albania
and Roumania so serious are the food
shortages that famine is near. Al
though starvation is not yet imminent,
Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur.
key are in the throes of serious strin-
gencies.
In order to fulfil Americas pledge
in world relief we will have to export
every ton of food which can be han
died through our ports. This means at
the very least minimum of 20OOO,OOO
tons compared with 6,O0OOOO tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,0OO tons ex.
ported last year, when we were bound
by the ties of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the black spc \
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled
will be threatened. Revolt and anarchy
inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see in other parts OF
Europe repetition of the Russian de.
bacle and our fight for world peace
will have been In vain.

Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on, the other hand, need
not figure in such map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem II she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents seri-
GUS difficulties. The same is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already in the
throes Of famine, and 100000 people

A food map of Europe today shows

difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine

Belgium and northern France, as

war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased

of Serbia, must be included in this

must have immediate relief.

A PROCLAMATION.

For more than three years
American philanthropy has been
large factor In keeping alive
Armenian, Syrian, Greek and other
sxiIes and refugees Of Western
Asia.
On the two former occasions !
have appealed to the American
people in behalf Of these homeless
sufferers, whom tho vlcissitudes
of war and massacre had brought
to the EXTREMIST need.
The response has been most
generous, but now the period of
rehabilitation 10 at hand. Vastly
larger sums will be required to
restore those once prosperous, but
now Impoverished, refugees to
their former homes than were re-
quIred merely to sustain life In
their desert exile.
II 10 estimated that about 4,000,-
600 Armenian, Syrian, Creek and
other war sufferers in the Near
East will require outside help to
sustain them through the winter.
Many Of them are now hundreds
of miles from their homeland. The
vast majority Of them are help
less women and children, inoiud-
Ing 400, 900 orphans.
The American Committee for
Relief In the Near East is appeal
ing for a minimum Of $50, 900 900
to be subscribed Jan. 1918, 1919,
With which to moot the most urg-
ont needs Of those people.
!, therefore, again call upon the
people Of the United States to
make even more generous con-
tributions than they have made
heretofore to sustain through the
winter months those, who, through
no fault of their own, have been
loft In a starving, shelterIess con-
dItlon, and to help rs-estabIish
these ancient and sorely op-
pressed people In their former
homes on a self-supportIng basis.

Musical Expression In Children.

"A writer says: "The greater part of
children's time is spent in elaborate
impersonation and make-believe, and
the entire basis of their education is
acquired through this directly assimi-

forcibly to music and gives to those
who have the care of children almost
unlimited opportunity for developing
musical expression.
