gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a 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 fulfill 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 a minimum of 20O0O,O0O
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-
war exports and 11,S20,000 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 spots
on the hunger map or II 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.

MR.. HOoVER's MESSAGE TO
The GIRLS AND BOYS
OF AMERICA.

Now that the terrible war is
over you must be glad that you
helped to win it by saving food
for our soldiers and our unhappy
friends across the sea. But our
work of feeding hungry people is
now to be greater than it has ever +.
been. Many millions of people
have been made free by our VIC
tory. but they are in the greatest
danger of death from starvation.
They look to America for food
until the next harvest.
We must go on saving and shar-
ing with them as faithfully as
ever. And, of course, you will
want to do your part as you have
been doing. We have a greater
task than any of us can imagine
in saving the world from famine.
but we can do it if each of us does
all he can. | am counting upon
you. Faithfully yours,
(Signed) HERBERT HOOVER.

Here was territory almost twice the
size of the German empire and with
considerably more than half its pop
ulation, ripe for exploitation. 1t pro-
vided many of the resources which
Germany lacked-timber, hides and
wool from Finland and the Baltic prov
inces and minerals and grain from the
districts farther south. 1t provided
millions of people industrially far
less advanced than those of Germany,
who would have to exchange their raw
products for German manufactured
goods on Germany's terms, who could
be denied political rights and forced
to do the heavy work while the Ger
mans took the cream of the profits.
Industrial Germany even under a So
cialist government will not give up
such spOils unless it is compelled to.
Must Break German Grip.
1t is plain therefore that the United
States and her associates not only
should be most watchful that Germany
gives ur every shred of political con-
troll over these Russian lands. but that
she is not allowed to build up a com
mercial control which will in the end
amount to the same thing
Whatever the territorial settlement
may be Russia and the states formed
from the territory of what was Russia
must be helped and guided for a long
time after the peace treaty is signed.
This help and guidance cannot be
given by individual states without
arousing suspicion that self interest is
the principal motive. A league of ma
tions, composed of the civilized demo-
cratic states of the world. and backed
by their united military police power,
would, however, be in position to fur
nish such help and guidance without
arousing jealOusies.
Unless the newly created states have
such protection the future may show
that predatory Germany won the world
war even after suffering military de-
feat.

SERVICE ON WHEELS

In modern warfare there is much
portable relief work done. Instead of
carrying the wounded man to hospital
and canteen, canteen and hospital are
moved to him. The first thing that is
done for a man after the battle is to
give him something to eat. The Amer
ican Red Cross has rolling canteens
that take hot bouillon, coffee, tea, CO.
Goa, lemonade and sandwiches right to
the front line trenches. To the man
who is wounded there is mobile hos
pital brought to his very elbow. This
is the "autochir," special motor truck
that carries complete surgical hospi-
tai right to the front.
These are some of the things that
the people of America are doing for
the comfort and welfare of the boys
over there by enrolling their names in
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
The Red Cross button and the Red
Cross Service Flag should everywhere
be in evidence during the week of De
cember 18th to the 23d as outward
symbols of this annual rededication tC
Red Cross service.

A food map Of Europe today shows
not q single country In which the fu-
ture does not hold threat Of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception Of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
In the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela-
tion from the other nations to the peo-
pie Of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs. which, with those
OF Serbia, must be included In this
plan. are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude OF the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. the moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more in her own

SICK FOLKS HUSTLE
FOR THE RED CROSS

Through the National tuberculosis
Association and the Journal of the Out
door Life, its official magazine, a cam
paign Is being organized to get tuber-
culosis patients of the country to en-
list every fellow "cure chaser" as a
member of the Red Cross during the
coming Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
Special campaigns have been organ
lied in all of the large sanatoria, of
which there are nearly 900 scattered
throughout the United States. Efforts
will be made to enroll one hundred
per cent. in each institution and also
to go after all patients and enroll
them as well. Every patient in the
sanatorium will be responsible to get
one more patient. The movement will
be a contribution of the tuberculosis
patients Of the country to the Red
Cross.
Since the National tuberculosis AS
sociatIon and its affiliated agencies are
being supported by the Red Cross
through direct appropriation during
the year 1919, this effort of the tuber-
culosis patients is considered to be an
unusually appropriate one.

tude to the Commission for Relief in
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 If 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
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re.

RED CROSS SUNDAY

The Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
week begins with a special Red Cross
Sunday on December the fifteenth
From every pulpit throughout the
country will be told the message of the
American Red Cross. Special pro-
grams should be arranged in the Sum-
day Schools on this day.
The Sunday School room should
fame with Red Cross posters and en-
blems, and there should be prominent
ly displayed both Red Cross flag and
a Red Cross Service flag. Teachers
and pupils should carry home this Red
Cross message to the members of their
families and see to it that each one of
these Is wearing the Red Cross mem
bership button before the week is over
The Christmas spirit should express
itself In Red Cross service and sacri-

The Peace
Table and After
NO.2
The Problem of Russia
By CLARENCE L. SPEED

By CLARENCE L. SPEED
CWritten for and Approved by the War
Committee of the Union League Club of
ChicagoD
Russia, that great enigma of the
war, likewise presents probably the
greatest of the peace problems.
Is the Russian experiment in self
government a failure? Have the ac-
tions of the Russian people proven
that the principle of selfdetermina-
ton cannot safely be applied? Should
Russia be coerced or helped back into
a position where she can again become
one of the greatest in the family of
nations, or should she be split up into
numerous independent states?
All of these are questions which,
considering the insufficient informa-
ton at hand on which to base our con-
clusions, permit of wide differences of
opinion. But one thing is certain.
RUSSIA MUST NOT REMAIN UN-
DER THE CONTROL OF GERMANY
IN A POLITICAL, MILITARY OR
ECONOMIC SENSE.
Germans Strong in Russia.
The word remain" is used advised
ly. The greater part of Russia was,
at the time the war came to it's dra-
matte close, under the heel of Ger
many. Whole districts, such as Fin
land, the Baltic provinces, Russian
Poland and the Ukraine were under di-
rect German control. German and
Austrian prisoners of war were fight
ing against the allies and the CZechO-
Slovaks in Siberia.
The armistice terms which the Ger
mans were forced to sign provided
that the treaty of Brest-LitOvsk and
the supplementary treaties by which
Russia was despoiled should be abrO
gated They likewise originally pro
vided that all invaded territory on the
east front as well as that on the west
should be evacuated within IA days.
This was the first provision of the
| armiStice terms at which. the Ger
man delegates protested. They asked
for more time and they got it. Thu
armistice as finally signed provided
that the east front territory should b.
evacuation at some indefinite time t.
be decided on later by the allies.
Want to Keep Control.
The significance or this may b.
merely that the disorder in Russia wa
so great that the allies thought Ger
man control for time was better thai
none. Again it is possible-evel
highly probable-that the German del
egates hoped by this means to let Gel
man occupation drag on into the pc
riod of peace negotiations, thinkin
thereby to retain something of wha
they have gained from Russia.
Knowing as we do that German
must depend upon outside territOr
for raw materials and markets for he
manufactured wares we may well loo
with suspicion on delay in the evacu;
ton of the Russian provinces. If the
. need policing the allies should PR
ceed to police them at the earliest po
sible moment-and police them witt
out any German assistance.
What the Germans Held.

German armies were laundering {

AID OF CONGRESS NEEDED.
Secretary Lane Discusses Plans for
Aiding Soldiers After War.

we can have job at good pay for
every soldier who returns from
France" says Secretary of the In
terror Lane. "if Congress will give us
the financial support needed.
And while at work." he adds. "the
soldier can be making home for
himself for which he can pay the
government in forty years time.
This plan has received the indorse-
ment Of so large percentage Of Con-
gress and the press Of the country
that it appears to be a probable pro-
gram; it certainly Is practicable
one"
The foregoing announcement has
been made by Secretary Lane in de-
c1aring that the preparation Of a pro-
gram looking to providing farms for
returned soldiers has been placed in
the hands of A. p. Davis, director and
chic engineer of the reclamation serv-
ice. He will be assisted by Elwood
Mead, H. T. Cory and Frank W.
Hanna, all of whom are engineers
prominent throughout the country in
reclamation work.
I'VE have but $500, 900 now for pre-
liminary surveys and reports" asserts
Secretary Lane, but this will be in
creased undoubtedly by the incoming
Congress. There is enough waste and
undeveloped land in the country to
give every soldier a farm, but, of
course, no such program is contem-
plated. because all would not want
farms"
