CRY OF EUROPE
HEARD BY.GLASS
Holland Describes How He
Listened to Hoover's
Plea.

Henry MUrgenthau and Herbert
Hoover apparently found a more
ready listener in the Secretary VI the
Treasury to communications they
were to make than they discovered In
the financial district For some time
Mr. Morgenthau and Sir. Hoover have
made earnest approach 20 bankers
and others who have gained reputA-
ton as men " finance. In the hope
that In that way Il would be possible
10 prevent n national campaign where
by funds could be secured with which
10 alleviate distress In Central Europe
and IN Ameaca
Both are we'll qualified TO give IN
formation which pictures forth the
real condition OF suffering and OF half
starvation which prevails In those
countries. BoIh cat speak at nrst
hand. not merely echotng reports that
were made by Others
Both became an o little while dis
Outraged. They were unable TO xtin-
ulate any other feeling than that Of
remote sympathy. They found that
the financial world IT, now Intensely
occupied with the attempt TO learn
how best foreign exchange can be
stabilized. International obligations
paid. and In addition to that how the
prrsent-day prosperity, which IL with
out any precedent Ia the United
States. can lie maintained and how
Possible collapse can be prevented.
Both MIR. Hoover and Mir. Morsen-
thau were confident that IL the people
VI the United States could have good
understanding Of the prrils which
Central Europe now faces and In fact
u the real danger Of famine which
may directly Or indirectly cost mil
lions Of lives. then our p,.UpIs would
subscribe willingly TO q fund amount
ing To perhaps one hundred millions.
Al last Mr.. Hoover and MIR. Nor
Santhau turned to Washington. II
II WAS impossible go TO stir I'D the
sympathies OF the American people
and Ia Causc them to come forward
with large offerings of money, il
might b. possible to persuade the
government at Washington that
both from the economic point Of
view and also from that Of human
ty itself. il is imperative thai
speedy assistance be given by means
OF which these peoples can be car
RED over the winter season and
through the time Of cultivating and
planting OF the spring and harvest
ing OF the summer. and in that way
TO set industry again in operation.
What was said TO the Secretary Of
the Treasury, Mr.. Glass, he alone
knows. But ConGess and the ma
ton now know what was the effect
or the communication that was
made to him. For the Secretary has
made appeal to Congress for Iegisla-
ton which will enable him to st in
motion the movement of food and
the providing of funds whereby this
distress can be relieved.

There were rooters in plenty
from Sunny Hill to support the
blue and gold, and as both teams
trotted out on the court, yells
rang out from all sides to encour.
age them. From the beginning
the game promised to be hard
fought and full of pep. Brock
from Sunny Hill distinguished
himself for swiftness of pass work
and Magee for his long distance
goals. 1t is hard to say which of
the visiting team is deserving OF
most credit, Connolly, Smith and
Afford are easily worthy of mem
ton. Bannister and Breland
|proved themselves Mt. Hermon's
star players, strongly backed up
by Brock aud E. and M. Miller.
