assume charge of the work and act as
his agent Mr.. Hoover pointed out that
the Friends already have begun the
work successfully. Furthermore, he
said, the Society of Friends would be
entirely beyond criticism or misundcr-
standing in such an effort"
The work to be carried on extensively
in Germany will be similar to that
begun by small unit, including Jane
Adams, which crossed the lines after
the armistice with a message of help
fulness and good will, together with
$50, 900 of foodstuffs supplied by Mr..
Hoover.
In a recent letter to the Friends
service committee Mr.. Hoover declared
child mortality in Germany is higher
today than during the war.
The plan in Germany is likely to be
similar to that employed in Austria
where Mr.. Hoovers commission has
been feeding 100000 children day.
The children, most of them under the
school age, go TO central stations once
a day for good meal Nothing is taken
home and the adults do not share in the
food.
