RELIEF WORK
Withdrawal of American Aid
in Europe Will Occur
july 1

New York. June 9. - The Ameri-
can Relief Administration, of which
Herbert Hoover is Director General,
received yesterday from him a cable
telling of the arrangements he had
completed with Finland, Esthonia,
Lithuania and Poland for the con-
tinuation OF children's relief bureaus
after the withdrawal from Europe
of American aid on July first
These bureaus were established by
the American RELIEF Administration
to cope with the APPALLING conditions
under which the childhood of Eu-
rope has lived ever since the out
break of the great war. In one of
the liberated countries the investi-
gators of the Relief Administration
visited an institution founded to care
for children whose fathers are in
America and where no bread or milk
had been served for two months.
Here the daily menu of the children
consisted of coffee for breakfast, po-
tatoe soup for luncheon, and tea and
potatoes for supper.
In another district Mr.. Hoover's
field officers, arriving after the Rus
sian retreat, found many children
who did not know their own names
and could not, therefore, be restored
to their families, even If their parents
were living. In one town, until the
arrival Of the American Administra-
tion the children's diet consisted of
bread made OF bark pulp and chaff
with a small proportion OF potato.
An inspection tour made by Ameri-
cans in an isolated province revealed
the fact that sixty thousand of the
inhabitants were suffering from ty-
phus. In thirty villages of this dis
trict every house sheltered typhus
and smallpox cases.

Burleson's Flimflam
Exposed at Washington

Washington, June 9.-The Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee in
the face of Postmaster General Bur-
leson's statement that the telephone
and telegraph companies were still
under his control despite his order
of Thursday night, took steps to eX-
pedite action by Congress restoring
full control of the various systems
to their private owners within ninety
days.
Following meeting of the COM
mittee. at which the Postmaster
Generals statement was read. SEN
ator Cummings. chairman of the
committee, obtained permission of
the Senate to have the resolution Of
fered by Senator Kellogg, providing
for the return of the systems within
ninety days, advanced on the CAL
endar as unfinished business for
to-day. This means that action
probably will be taken on the reso-
luton this afternoon. 1t also
will provide an opportunity for a full
discussion of the situation, including
the strike on the floor of the Sem
ate.
n. c. Kingsbury, vice-president of
the American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. appeared and ex-
planned that actual control of opera
ton had been relinquished but that
the Post Office Department retained
right to control rates. compensation,
and labor conditions.
A letter to this effect from Post
master General Rurleson was also
received. In this letter Mr.. Burleson
said that so far as turning back the
property to private ownership was
concerned. mo such action has been
taken by me nor is contemplated"

LABOR OPPOSES
DEBS CLEMENCY
Metal Trades Repudiate Men
Who Tried to Block
Draft Law

Atlantic City, n J., June 9.-Or-
ganized labor has repudiated Eu-
gene V. Debs and all other agitators
who have been convicted of trying
to embarrass the government IN
carrying into effect the selective
draft law. A resolution appealing for
clemency for Debs brought storm
in the convention of the metal trades
department of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. 1t asked for the
pardon of Debs and all like offend
ers. The overwhelming vote register
ed against the motion proved the
hopelessness of reviving the con-
troversy.
The action taken on the Debs
resolution is said by delegates to re-
fleet the stand of labor for conserva-
tism. The followers of President
Samuel P. Gompers point out that
this is a certain indication that the
radical element opposing him will
have no weight at the convention.
Two millions stronger in member
ship than when America entered the
world war, the American Federation
of Labor convened here to-day to
outline a reconstruction policy for
labor throughout the United States
and it's territorial divisions.
A demand for government action
that will stop all forms of prof1teer-
ing in food products is one of the
certain developments of the conven-
ton, it was said Saturday. Little
hope was held out that any move
ment in the meeting for recognition
of Soviet rule in Russia will receive
serious consideration in view OF

WAR HEARINGS TO
BEGIN JUNE q
Investigation of Expenses to
Start AS Soon AS Com
mittee Is Organized

washington, June 9.-Hearings by
the special House Committee, ap-
pointed to investigate the conduct of
the war will begin about June %,
according to statement made by
Representative Graham, Chairman,
who early next week will name the
subcommittee to conduct the in
quiry into different branches of mill
tary activity.
Some Republican members of the
House are now expressing doubt as
to the wisdom of cevoting time to
such an inquiry while the country is
eagerly looking for legislation of a
constructive nature. Some of the
leaders fear. that the investigation
will not develop anything more than
was told while the war was in pro-
gress, and that, the party Will De
criticized for such post mortem work
and for a possible delay in legish-
tive matters.
Mr.. Graham, outlining the plans
of his committee, said in statement:
THE Select Committee on EX-
penditures in the War Department
of which 1 have been named Chair-
man by the Speaker. will proceed to
business as soon as the necessary
clerical assistance can be procured
and n permanent organization ell
fected, which, I imagine, Will be
during the coming week.
1T is the purpose of the commit
tee to proceed to a careful and COM
plete audit of all the expenditures OF
the War Department during the pres
ent war, including the expenditures
that are now continuing. During the
war vast sums of money were ap-
pointed for the use of the War De-
partment without it smization. Ii
was necessary, owing to the emerF-
cncy of the war to thus trust to the
discretion OF the War Department
the proner investment of these funds
Now that a state of peace is
practically existing, careful audi
and investigation of these eXpendl'
lures ought to be made. The reas-
ons are patent. The people have
right to know. and will know, as
result of this investigation, how thest
vast sums were expended. 1t Il
manifest, also, that from such ar
investigation it will be possible To-
orr country in the future to guare
against the mistakes and wastes
which doubtless have taken place
during this war.

Don't Experiment with Catarrh;

and finally reaches down into the
lungs, and everyone recognizes the
alarming condition that results when
the lungs are affected. Thus catarrh
may be the forerunnner of that most
dreaded and hopeless of all diseases,

No local treatment affords perma-
nent relief. Experience has taught
that S. S. S. is the one remedy which
attacks the disease at its source, the

S. S. S. a thorough trial. 1t is sold
