the differences in the Cabinet appear
TO be only over the nature of the

that the shock caused by the nature Of

be no foundation FOR the reports in

Four hundred thousand persons and
more served in the cafeteria in one
year Is the record of the Y. w. C. A.
Hostess House at Camp Lewis, Amer
lean Lake, Wash.
The majority Of the 100000 diners
were mothers, wives, sweethearts and

their soldiers. The remainder were
soldiers themselves who broke the mo-
notony of "chow" with home cooked
meals In addition to all these guests,
$4,000 little children were cared for In
the nursery and the rest room served
10000 tired wives and mothers.
The workers at the information
desk received and answered $1,000

best connections to a destination clear
across the continent, the rates Of SOL
diers' insurance and the kind of Gre

the signing of the armistice.
Each OF these hospitals contains 100
beds and complete equipment except
for kitchen utensils. The buildings in
which these hospitals will be housed
iu the Near East have been erected.
With the hospital equipment the com
mittee will purchase large quantities of
medical supplies which have been
stored in France to safeguard the
health of American soldiers. These
supplies will be rushed to the Near
East from French port
Careful surveys OF the situation in
the Near East indicate that lack of
transportation facilities Is the chief
cause of famine. There is food enough
TO keep the Inhabitants from starving,
but it cannot be distributed to supply
62S,00O square miiG $ of country. There
are only 50 miles OF railroad. COnse-
quently there Is plenty of food In some
sections Of the country where food Ia

Entertain Roumanian Countess at
American Show in France.
Picture shows are being put on in
France without cameras, scenery or
any of the necessary properties, ac-
cording to reports reaching the Ma
tional Y. w. c. A. from a Y. w. G. A
nurses hut in Base Hospital.
Having no film or camera, the
nurses at Base decided to put on a
living picture show and invited a
group of nurses from a nearby hos
pital to be the audience. 1t was a
real thriller, one of the wild and wool
ly west variety, with bucking bron-
choes and wild rides on broom and
mop horses.
Imagination supplied the scenery,
with the exception of placards, which
announced "the sun" when 1t was sup
posed to be shining or "cacu" when
the COW punchers rode across the
desert.
Countess vacaresca Of Roumania,
who had been talking to the nurses on
conditions In the German courts at the
time she was lady-in-waiting to the
Queen of Roumania, was the most ap-
preciative Of all the guests.

within short time. Wheat was plenti-
full in a district not far away, but there
were no facilities for transporting 1t to
the starving sufferers.
For this reason the committee has
purchased the 200 trucks from the
American Government, and plans to
buy more from the British Army,
which, though lmpeded by the necessi-
ties of military operations, has greatly
aided the distress in the Near East.
AS consequence of malnutrition.
sickness Is rife in many communities
throughout the Near East. Diseases
which the people could resist II they
were adequately nourished have taken
loot throughout all this territory on
account of the wasted bodies OF the
whole population. Representatives of

When the war work of the Y. W. G.

the most interesting stories will lie in
the establishment of the first Womens
Cooperative Association at Moscow.
There day after day princesses work
side by side with peasant girls, wives
of high Russian officials make dresses
or trim hats at long tables with simple,
unlettered women, and the money is
used for self support of these prin-

The population is ridden with sores.
Every day. more moving appeals
come from distressed Armenia, Syria.
Persia and the Russian Caucasus
Tens of thousands of people are as
gaunt and hungry as those gathered
around the dead horse in the accom-
panying picture. Many have been
without food for days. An Associated
Press dispatch from Salonika of re-
cent date December 49, reports that
of the 100000 Armenians deported
by the Turks only 100000 survived
and that not more than one-fourth of
the present Armenian population can
survive until the next harvest without
outside help.
Distressing as seem these reports,
1t Is encouraging to know that even
causes of advanced emaciation, such
as are shown in this Illustration, readi-
ly respond to treatment. With food
and medical care millions can be made
strong and healthy. Thirty million
dollars, the sum to be sought In the
January ~ to 10 drive, will help save
1000. 900 lives. Considered only as an
investment, 1t should be worth while.
