Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll of deash< The Armenian popula.
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes it's 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 ham
died through our ports. This means at
the very least a minimum Of 100000
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
If we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or il 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

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

have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.

MAKE SOLDIER FEEL He
IS As GOOD AS EVER

Men disabled in the service who are
returning from the front and who find
it hard at first to see their way to-
ward earning a livelihood are a spec
eial problem for the Red Cross. Un-
der the Smith-Sears law fund is ap;
propriated to re-educate every dis
abled man who will take the opportu-
: nifty to make a living. 1t is felt that
such men are likely to be weakened
in their resolution to keep their self
respect and find real work by the mis-
taken charity Of hero worshippers who
will forget them once the first flush OF
war enthusiasm is over. Here the sup.
port of the disabled mars family must
be enlisted, for in the last analysis it
is the mans family who will be the de-
termining influence in his rehabilita-
ton. The relatives must be braced to
meet the situation-to make Of them
selves for the man bulwark against
encouragement and weakness.

SMILES AND TEARS GET MIXED.

Two little stories came to the Red
Cross headquarters from over the seas
a short time ago. One was story OF
bravery that brought the tears, and
one tale of tears that brought smiles.
The first story was of a soldier who
asked for light. He was in bed, and
a cigarette was between his lips, plac-
ed there by the nurse after she had
finished spreading his blanket up
smoothly. At his question, she turned
and gave him a box Of matches and
hurried on, then remembered that the
arms beneath the blankets were with
out hands.
Nurses have to be without tears, but
there we're tears in her eyes as she
turned to strike the match and light
the cigarette for him.
Quit that" he said, "they were good
n,.ts, and they helped get three or four
Germans before l lost them, but they
amt worth crying about, so there!"
And the tears story that brought
smiles? Well, that was the story Of a
big, husky, colored man, who sat read.
ing, and the Red Cross worker at the
canteen saw that he had tears running
down his cheeks. She was curious to
know what he might be reading and
was astonished when she looked over
his shoulder to see that it was the
canteen cook book.
He smiled through his tears as he
saw that she was watching, and said,
sheepishly, "You sure must excuse me,
ma'am, but this here book done make
me blamed homesick. I'm 'shamed to
make a baby outen mahse'f, but this
makes me think O home"
The Era-leader., 1919-01-02

A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country In which the ftl-
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 different rela-
ton 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 aad she
was established once MORE in her OWL

THE RED CROSS
IS REAL Service
BY FRANK MORRISON,
Secretary American Federation OF
Labor.

The work of the Red Cross is not
confined TO our boys on battlefield or
in hospital nor amidst The ruins of Bel
GUM and other portions OF devastated
EuroDe, One of its great activities is
any necessary aid to the dependents OF
members of Americas s military forces.
On the battlefield the Red Cross pre-
sents an heroic figure. In America,
removed from destruction and DEATH
the Red Cross steps silently TO the
side Of the father and mother whose
boy Is lover there" and who need coun-
sci and aid
No service is too small for the Red
Cross, If allotments from the govern
ment or from their son are delayed, or
information on the governments war risl,
insurance is wanted. the Red Cross is
both counsellor and friend. II enters into
the home in the true spirit OF charity
secrecy.
But first and foremost our soldiers in
field and hospital must be given the most
attentive care possible. Nothing we can
do will equal their share in this move
ment for world democracy. and the Red
Cross presents an opportunity for us to
play our part in this great drama by
contributing to the extent of our ability.
The Red Cross appeals to organized
workers because of its one quality
service.
Behind Red Cross service is an en-
noblng charity that is not defaced by
cost marks, democracy that personifies
Jefferson's great principle of equality and
religion that is beyond sectarianism.

MONEY NOT THE OBJECT.

Our obligation to our own soldiers
and saiRrs and the privilege of minis.
tering to the sick and wounded, Of
feeding the hungry, housing the home
less and rebuilding the waste places of
our associates in the war, call the en-.
tire American people to the support of
the Red Cross spirit now as never be.
fore. The money to be raised in mem.
bership dues is secondary. 1t is the
spiritual phase that is important, for
It will show the suffering people of
the world that the American people
viii see them through their experience
a the very end.
