The neutral countries of Europe are
beginning TO suffer severely for lack Of
food. oil and coal and other necessities
as result of the plan adopted by the
United States in cooperation with the
Allies several months ago OF keeping

reduced 10 the lowest possible minimum.
The shoe Is now beginning to pinch.
The latest advices received by the state
Department in regard to the effect OF
cutting off of exports TO the neutrals
show that in Holland, where conditions
are perhaps worse than in the other
European neutral countries the people
are virtually on a war ration.
The serving of bread in cafes and all
public eating houses has been entirely
suspended. aud bread served to the
homes Is of very poor quality.
Bread. tea. coffee sugar and almost
all the other food necessities are obtain

acting scout commissioner.
Graham received word today that
Charles H. Hill. deputy scout COM
missioner for New York City, would
arrive in Topeka tomorrow to begin
the preparations for the campaign.
1t is planned that the campaign be
brought to as rapid a conclusion as
Is possible, in order that 1t may not
interfere with the various war work
campaigns slated for Topeka and all
sections OF the state this fall and
winter.
The five thousand dollars which Is
asked in this campaign will be used
TO employ a permanent executive to
take charge of and direct all scout ac-
tivities in the city. 1t is planned that
the campaign for the money shall also
be- resolved into a campaign of or
ganization and it is thought that the
employment of a scout executive Civ
ing his whole time to the work will
go far toward breaking up the gang

and more evident in certain parts of
the city.
