Dollar Getters" or Dollar Givers,'
Which?
By DAVID HINsHAw

America has been called the Land of the
Almighty dollar" and certain surface indications
in our national makeup have partly jus .tied this
characterization The folks of the vast coun-
try west of the AlleghenieS are scarcely more
than two generations removed from pioneers who
wrested life and fortune from Nature. Many Of
those on the Atlantic seaboard are immigrants
from Europe, who have come to this land of
opportunity and promise to better themselves and
their children. The struggle for advance, conf
fort and means still in our blood, therefore. oc-
casionally gives lis the appearance of dollar
g~etters." But the great majority of us have
fully appreciated that money making is not our
fundamental aim.
The fine spirit of equality, the certain eli lima
ton OF class lines which exist III Europe, the
gradual removal Of chronic poverty should have
characterized us as practical idealists. But we
were judged by appearances. Then came the
Graf War.
We entered this war for no material gain, but
that autocracy might be forever crushed from
the earth that small nations might be protected
from large nations; that the agreement between
one nation and another nation might be sacred
and binding. We ask nothing for ourselves; we
insist only that humanity shall be benefited. Now
we are being acclaimed as the worlds greatest
idealists.
Because we entered the war late and the sur

barely scratched. it is Our particular duty to see
this great effort through to the very end. More
than four million persons are looking to Amer
lean generosity for their very lives. The big task
is all but completed. One corner alone needs
to be cleaned up. America must finish the JOB.
Impoverished, stricken Europe can help but little.
When America has cleaned up the last corner.
the Near East. as she will certainly do, we will
be known as the land Of "dollar-givers," not the
land of dollar g%etters."

Our Allies in the Near East
BY CHARLES EVANS HUGHES

Probably at no time in the history of the world
have there been so many fatherless and mother
less children as there are today. Tens of thous-
ands, probably hundreds of thousands in Ar
menia, Syria, Caucasus, Persia, Mesopotamia
and Palestine are not only without parents, but
are without any strong parental government to
give them the help and protection which orphan
children of other lands enjoy.
American Consuls and missionaries cable
the American Committee for Relief in the Near
East, almost daily regarding the situation. One
message from the Russian Caucasus pleads for
the support of 10000 children at an average
expense of two dollars per month per child.
Another from Tifis reports 10000 children in
one region waiting for an answer to a previous
cablegram requesting help. Reports from other
points indicate similar conditions. Among the
many appeals it is possible for this committee to
assume responsibility for only the most pressing
cases, and it is upon these that the committee
would focus the attention OF the American peo-
pie. Splendid help has been rendered the little
ones in other lands, but these in Western Asia
are no less human than those who have already
been aided by American charity. 1t is the duty
of Americans, as we'll as a privilege to respond
to this great opportunity and help keep alive the
best civilization that Western Asia he's developed.
All expenses of administrator for this relief
are privately met, so that every dollar sent to the
committee is used directly by their agents in
purchasing food and supplies for the needy who,
according to the best advices and from audited
reports, receive the full benefit of the funds sent
them.
Out of the horror and nightmare through
which these people have passed comes the crafty
ing word that we can be of assistance; that our
efforts will prove availing, and that we can share
with these orphan children the bounty which we,
as Americans. have enjoyed for years. The work
done by this committee has been most unselfsh
and effective under conditions OF great personal
sacrifice. May America respond to their appeals.

 Armies in Russia

 London, April 3.-The curtain was raised for the British public on the position of the allied armies in north Russia for the first time this afternoon.
 The serious situation in the Murmansk region and the attempt by the bolsheviki to drive the allied troops on the Archan- gel front into the sea are the cause of much anxiety. The London afternoon papers circulated posters through the streets with startling phrases, of which "the British army imperilled,'' was typi- cal The public bought the papers eager ly, having no idea which army was re- ferred to. Some of the papers declared that another Kut surrender of Khartum tragedy theratened.
 Sir Ernest Shackleton, the explorer, who has just returned from Russia. where he superintended the winter outfitting and feeding of the expedition, confirmed the danger to the allied position and armies. He is credited with stirring British off cials into keener realization of the seri- ousness of the position in Russia.
