tual rehabilitation OF the Near East
could be begun. Now that the war is
over. that time is at hand. Experts
OF the Committee have estimated that

10 start this work and drive will be
carried on through the United States
from January 18th TO 18th.

Half of the amount TO be raised
during the drive will be expended in
keeping alive the destitute More
than ITO 900 exiles are 10 be return

be provided for 100000 refugees.
There are more than 100000 children
made orphans by the war who must
be cared for at once il they are to be
made assets to the world An esti-
mated expenditure of $40 for each
child brings the total needed for these
orphans TO 100000. Houses for the
1,770000 persons whose homes have
been destroyed will cost $4,000, 900,
and many more millions will be need
ed to buy seeds. cattle and farm inn

value in feeding animals as well az
for improving. the fertility of the soil.

The navy department early today
had not been informed as to the un-
officially reported rescue of the crew
of the seaplane NC-3. 1t was stated.
however, that interrupted cable serv-
ice between the Azores and the Unit
ed States might account for a report
of the rescue reaching American ofm-
GERS in London before it was re-
ceived here.
No news from the NC-3, missing
since early Saturday morning, when
Commander j. II. Towers reported
the plane then was off her course
about 800 miles from her destination.
has been received at the navy depart
ment.
Uneasiness of naval officers for the
safety of the mammoth flying boat
and the five members of its crew in
creased over night.
The more than a score of naval
vessels which have been sweeping the
seas since a short time after the
NC-3 became lost, kept up their
search throughout the night. High
seas and foggy weather around the
Azores have handicapped the patrol
work and also increased the doubts
as to the ability of the craft to re-
main afloat. Wrecking of the NC-1
by the wind and waves was pointed to
to show the difficulties the flyers face.

CLEAN UP WEEK STARTS;
EXTRA TEAMS At WORK
Piles of Refuse at Curbs Today

Drive
Clean Up Week started with a b

Clean Up Week started with a bang
this morning.
With eight wagons and teams from
the contractors yards and twelve from
the street department, the city is be-
ing covered thoroughly today, collect
ions being made in every section of
refuse material placed at curbs for
these teams to remove. From var
ious sections of the city it has been
reported that ane cooperation is be-
ing evidenced, and people are taking
advantage of the annual opportunity
to rid themselves of the refuse which
has accumulated for the past year.
Street Commissioner Munoz report
ed this morning that Graham & Nc
Keon, who are the contractors for the
regular garbage removal have eight
wagons woking, two more than under
normal conditions. He said that the
street department has twelve wagons
at work, manned by crews that are
used normally for clearing basins and
other street department work. The
routine street cleaning work is not be-
ing interfered with to any extent by
this work, however and the street re-
pair gangs are kept at work. he re-
ported.
That the city is taking the clean up
week to heart is shown in the piles of
refuse that have been put at the curb
throughout the city. In every sec
ton there are piles of materials await
ing the wagons and the street COM
missioner said this morning that his
wagons working, two more than under
daytime and the contractors wagons
at night, thus bringing about a rapid
at all times.
The commissioner and Mayor Dor
sey expressed satisfaction at the man
ner in which the clean up project has
been taken up throughout the city.
Such cooperation should result in
much cleaner week after the period
as proclaimed by the mayor has ex-
pired on Saturday.
The mayor continued to urge COM
plete support of the plan in all it's
ramifications, including the planting,
painting. sweeping, raking and gen.
eral cleaning up of yards. homes, cell
lars, attics. outhouses and barns.
