Mr.. CUMMINGS REPORTS
HARMONY IN MISSOURI
Democratic Chairman Confident He
Has Eliminated fractional
Troubles There.

According to a statement issued by
the democratic national committee,
Chairman Cummings of that organ
ization. in the course of his coast-to-
coast tour of the country, has ef-
fected reconciliation between the
warning democratic factions in Mis-
souri, and has ironed out the wrin-
kies in the party there to an extent
warranting confidence in harmonious
action hereafter.
The statement says that, summed
up, these are the results of Chairman
Cummings efforts in Missouri:
"A state club was formed to work in
conjunction with the democratic state
central committee. each county pro-
viding its quota of membership in the
working organization.
Fractional differences that have
initiated against party success in St.
Louis were completely eradicated and
a strong committee Of representative
men. embracing all factions. was Gre
ated through which the democratic
city committee and the newly formed
Democratic League Of st. Louis will
work in absolute harmony in the in
terest of democratic principles.
"oHoH, ToCeHtiy given the pfoSf-
Dental vote in the state, were invited
to equal participation with the men in
the State Club and the St. Louis
League. leading women Of the state
forming the nucleus Of an auxiliary
force that promises to WELD a potent
influence in the forthcoming cam
paign.
Mrs. George Bass. chairman Of the
woman's bureau of the democratic
national committee, aided Chairman
in laying the plans through
which women Of Missouri will be
brought into the party councils.
THE net result Of the democratic
leaders visit to Missouri was a re-
vival Of the old-time party enthu-
siasm that invariably assured the
party a majority Of 10000 in former
years. The danger that the upstate
margin, always to be
counted on. might be wiped out by
abnormal republican advantage in st.
Louis. has now been dissipated by
reason of the harmony pervading all
branches of the organization in the

252 MAY LOSE Jobs
Woman Workers in Department Of
State Are Not Included
in Appropriations.

Unless Congress provides a remedy
before July /. 252 woman war work
ers at the Department of State will
be dropped from the rolls on that
date. They are part OF the additional
force of 400 extra employees taken on
during the progress Of the war.
The legislative. judicial and execu-
tive appropriation bill for the cur
rent year provided 100000 for the
employment of that additional force.
The same bill for the next fiscal year.
beginning July 1, next, provides but
100000 for that force. and If not In
creased will call for a decrease of
252 in the total force.
Acting Secretary Polk and Chief
Clerk Davis have made urgent ap-
peals to the appropriations commit
tees to increase the appropriation to
100000 on the general ground that
the business of the department will
be seriously impaired by even the
smallest reduction of the present
force. It is recommended that the
additional appropriation requested be
put in the sundry civil bill now be-
fore Congress.

5000 Orphans in 40. o0C.

"It Is impossible at this moment to
cay what is the total number of these
orphan children" said Mr.. Lucas in
a report made to the committee. The
only guide upon which to base any
such estimate is to be found in the
reports coming from Palestine We
in a population of 10000. 1t Is to be
hoped that no such percentage OF
orphans will be found in Poland,
Galicia, Lithuania, Rumania or Russia.
THE. generous contributions MADE
by American Jewry to the funos tnat
baye heen used for war relief permits
the assumption that America VIII be
the largest contributor in the adop-
ton of war orphans. There Is. how
ever. no doubt that the Jews OF other
countries will also gladly undertake
their proper share in the RESPONSE
bility."
