A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat OF serious
difficulties and only a small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point, With the exception or the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies TO meet
actual needs until nsxt harvest, and
ever 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 a different rela-
Tor from ths other nations to the peo-
pie Of inc United States. America mas
Tor four years maintained the small
wal rations Of Belgium and northern
France and b already making special
efforts to ARE for their Increased
after.the-war needs, whicts, with those
OF Serbia, Aust be included In this
plan, are urgent ia the extreme and
must have Immediate relief.
The gratitude OF the Belgian nation
Tor 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 and she

Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering a heavy
toll of death. The Armenian popula-
tiOn is falling each week as hunger

Paris-(By Mail)-Not best sellers" but serious works Is the liter
airy refreshment demanded By the American soldiers in France, now
that the war is over. and our boys are waiting to get back home. The.
soldier is a serious minded person. with decided intellectual views, all
reports to the contrary. He wants to make his way in the world.
The American Y. M. {. A. in France came to this conclusion when a
group Of 300 doughboys, when asked what they would like as light read
ing matter, spoke up with one vsios, and demanded books on applied Math-s
ematics. They were so much In earnest about 1t that the Y. M. c. A
decided 70 start its hst class in practical arts in France. B. II MornL
son, formerly an instructor in the States Teachers College of Greeley
Colorado, was sent for TO take charge Of the class.
The first real impeachment to intellectual research among the buck p-
Yates presented itself when It was discovered that there wasn't so far as
any could find out, an American book On applied mathematics in ALI
France. There ere the French ones. Of course. but none should be ey
peced TO study French and Mathematics simultaneously. It really isn't

ENGLAND EXPECTS
 10 BUILD HOUSES
Will Erect 300,00O Within Next
 Few Years

London, March 28 (Corresondence of the Associated Press .)-The gov ernment plan to build S00,00O houses for workmen within the next few years apparently has aroused the British public to demand abolition of the archaic English fireplace, and substitution of the American steam heating system for homes. The de- mand is voiced by numerous contrib- utors to the London newspapers.
 ''If I had my way I would at once send out a commission of British ar chitects to America and Canada to learn there the elements of the busi- ness of building houses and equipping them,' declares one writer.
 "One fundamental defect runs through practically all British houses of whatever grade," he continues '"They depend for their heating on fires Now the English fire is an ad- mirable invention from every aspect except that of utility and cleanliness. It is cheerful, companionable, sopo- rife, sentimental-an altogether de- lightful thing to have in 8 room. It has, however, two vital drawbacks, it dues not heat and it is abominably dirty.
 T mean that it does not heat prop erly. It's radius is so limited that over half an average English drawing room is not used in winter time. To move 12 feet away from the fireplace is to leave the Tropic of Capricorn and en- ter the Arctic Circle, while as for sitting comfortably near the window, the thing is inconceiva b1e
 '1n the second place, even within it's meager radius, a fire never does it's work thoroughly. It never warns you all over. One side is grilled, the other IS underdone. Your face is agloW, your back a ripple of icicles.''
 The writer called attention to the acknowledged fact that in spite of the labor of carrying coal for grate fires, fully 80 per cent of the heat is vast ed, going up the chimney.
 Could anything be more barbarous. more expensive or more inefficielt?' asks the writer. We shall never have either sanity or comfort in our homes until we adopt the central heatfrg system (steam or hot air furnaceS) spread warmth throughout the house. not in patches, and burn wood on the hearth to supply the element of cheerfulness with a minimum of trou- bIe and dust"

SMALL BOY WOULD
 BE HAPPY IN RUSSIA
There Children and Not Teachers
 Rule the Schools

London, March 2S Correspondents stead of teachers control the schools of Russia under the BolsheVik re- gime, according to two Englishmen, one of them an experienced school master, who has just returned from Russia
 Boys and girls are herded indis- crimina,tely and there is no discipline, says the Englishmen. Pupils control the teachers. In a I<olma school a youth of IS was appointed commis- sioner of the institution and was in charge of all teachers. On one occa- sion he closed the school for a week as a protest against the action of the master who had reprimanded a. pupil.
 Should a master prove unpopular, he is promptly elected by his class Often the master appears for class only to find his pupils engaged in a com mittee meeting which must not be dis turbed.
 Each class has it's own committee and usually the most popular boy rep resents the others at the masters council These committees not only direct the masters but control the distribution of food which is provided for the midday meal and which is the chief cause for any school attend ance a all.
 Pupils do exactly as they please, walking into the classroom and leaV- ing it while a lesson is in progress. This is particularly true as regards lunch time, for the first to reach the dining room is the first to be served and he usually gets the best. No pun ishment of any kind is inflicted on the pupil as each pupil is his own mentor as to right and wrong.
 No home work is set, the pupil do- ing all his school work during the hours set apart for each session. At tendance is not compulsory, or even regulated by rule, each one attending classes or staying away as he sees fit. No marks for good work are allowed, and consequently none for the slug gard who makes no attempt at schO- lastic attainment.
 The same chaotic conditions were observed by the Englishnlen in the universities and other seats of higher education. Any boy of 1 6 may enter without qualification. Even though he may be unable to read and all Rol- sheyiki children have not yet attained that dignity, he still may become an undergraduate, entitled to all the food and other advantages enjoyed by more advanced persons in search of such education as the demOralized system has to offer.
