STARVATION KILLS
CZECHO-SLOVAKS

Due to undernourishment OF moth
ers and children, there is an alarming
mortality rate in the new Republic
of Czecho- Slovakia. according to an
announcement here by the American
Red Cross, which is distributing food
in that country. In Bohemia, Mora
via, and Silesia, the deaths in 1917
exceeded the births by 81, $40. as COM
pared with $4,000 more births than
deaths in 1914. The statistics for
1918, although not yet completed, will
show even a larger mortality, it was
said. Deaths predominant among the
mothers and children.
Many children of the new nation
had never tasted milk. not even
mothers milk, as the women were
too weak to nurse their babies-the
Red Cross found in its Investigations.
''Seven-year- children have the
physical proportiones of FIVE. and ten
year-olds have the growth OF a nor
NAL seven-year- old" said the an
nouncement. "One-third of the school
children never have any breakfast.
and another third are absent because
they are too weak physically to at
tend"

WOULD PAY
PENSIONS MONTHLY

The monthly payment Of Govern
ment pensions is provided for in a
bill introduced in the House by Con-
gresham Oscar Bland of Indiana
Pensions are now paid from the
Pension Bureau in this city at the
beginning of each quarter. Instead
of four payments as now obtains, the
Bland bill would mean twelve month
ly installments payable on the fourth
of each month.
At the present time the Pension
Bureau here has SIC, 900 benefieiaries
on its rolls who receive quarterly
pensions.
Increasing the number Of pay
ments would greatly increase the
clerical work and mean that addi-
tionaI space would be occupied. The
bill provides that the bureau take
possession Of as much space as need
ed in the Pension Bureau to comply
with the proposed law.
The measure carries an appropria-
ton of 5000, 900 for additional clerks
and equipment for inauguration OF
the proposed ney system.

The comptroller later announced
that he had called upon Chairman Nc

Committee of the Senate, to summon
Congressman McFadden before the

Williams added.
When Mr.. McFadden appeared be-

ready to make a favorable report on

that Just because two men, both at

Committee request it, he said he would
be glad to detail them.
He declined to state where he got
the information that evidence is be-
ing destroyed" in the office Of the
Comptroller of Currency.
The McFadden resolution authorizes
the Speaker of the House to appoint a
select committee of seven members Of
the House, which would inquire into
the official conduct of Mr.. Williams in
his capacity as Comptroller. in his re-
lationship thereof, not only to the
functions of that office, but also in
/ his official relation to the following
The offices OF the Secretary of the
Treasury. Secretary of the Navy, Sec
rotary of War, Commissioner of In
ternaI Revenue. to the Federal Reserve
Board, to the War Finance Corpora
ton. to the Capital Issues Committee,
to the United States Shipping Board
and to the Emergency Fleet Corpora
/ ton.
Other Points Raised.
The committee would also inquire
whether Mr.. williams has any pri-
vate banking or business connections
or partnerships or is otherwise di-
rectly or indirectly interested in
banking or brokerage concerns in the
cities of Richmond, Va, or Baltimore.
Nd, or both. and what connection any
or all of these have had in the past
year with purchases or sales of stocks
in the International Mercantile Ma
rine and foreign bonds or other Sc
curities, and whether or not they
have had dealings with the. United
States Government.
A further duty that would devolve
on the committee would be to inquire
into the official conduct OF Mr.. Will
liams in his official capacity as Di-
rector of Finance and Purchases Of
the United States Railroad Admins
tration.
The committee would also inquire
into the acquisition OF sites for naval
operations of any kind.

saying that he was perfectly willing

make to be made publicly"
Mr. Pou held that Mr.. McFadden
should produce witnesses and evidence
to make out a prima facie case before
action was had on the resolution.
Mr.. McFadden is president Of the
First National Bank, Of Canton, Pa.
He told newspaper men that he sought
last winter to have an investigation

the one now under consideration" Mr..
McFadden said. land almost imme-

He sent letters throughout my dis

many others asking for information.
But that I had funds to meet all out
standing obligations he would have
succeeded in running me"
Mr.. McFadden applied to the Fed
eral court OF the Third district OF
Pennsylvania and was granted a tenn
porary restraining order against Mr.
Williams circulating reports that
were damaging to his bank.
The final briefs on which I expect
to have the order made permanent

He says he is determined to de-

What course will you take If the

II am not familiar with the Law
along that line. but I will look into
it thoroughly and will be guided by
a course of action that will insure
