u. S. FEEDS FOUR MILLION
CHILDREN IN EUROPE
Report of Work Accomplished by
Relief Administration
gram for the Future.

PARIS, July II (by the Associated
Press. -Four million children in Europe
are being fed under the auspices of the
American relief administration. This
work will probably he continued through
private charity under American direc-
ton, even after the conclusion of the
work of the American food administra-
ton in Europe.
Enough supplies are now available to
continue operations for several months
and experts who came to Europe with
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the inter
allied supreme food council believe
they will be able to obtain sufficient
funds from private sources to keep up
the feeding of children as long as the
necessity exists.
One million children are being fed in
Poland alone, Finland. the Baltic pro-
vinces. Russia. Serbia, Rumania and
Croatia being the other fields where
there is necessity for this work. which
has been rendered necessary in many
cases because of the inadequacy of the
local milk supply, while other supplies
necessary for a balanced ration cannot
be obtained without Importation. The
Americans have the children subjected
to an examination and feed only those
who are undernourished until the doctor
pronounces them strong enough to thrive
on a diet which can be afforded by the
home supply.

Not a bit" replied Jenny Wren.
Mrs. Whip-poor-will lays her eggs
