 The Society of Friends operates on a non-sectarian basis, the percentage of Jewish children fed being small, but the Joint Distribution commit tee made the contribution, it announc. ed, because of the vital need of rellef measures for the children of Ger many.

 March 1 to July 10.
 "German children are seriously suffering from the cumulative prl- vations of at least five years.

Russian Railway Lines Ten Years
 Behind Normal

Moscow, May 2.-Russian railroad shops, working at maximum of peace time capacity, will require more than tetn years to restore nor nal traffic with the present facili. ties of production, according to sur vey recently published in the Eco homie Life. The chief needs are shown to be the importation of roll ing stock and the home development of the transportation industry.
 The survey shows that in 1914 the number of locomotives was approxi- mately 10000 with 16 per cent unfit for use. The present number of To- comotives is about 10000 with fifty nine per cent out of commission O. in need of repairs, and the number of cars 250,O00. Lines in operation have also diminished about 20 per cent.
 The maximum pre-war production in the Russian shops was 1900 To- comotives and 10000 cars annually and the number that retired each year was 1,5OO locomotives and 30,000 trucks. The present need is for 15,- 900 locomotives and 450,O00 cars.

LOWDEN ALONE HAS
 RECEIVED APPROVAL
 OF THE DRY FORCES
On All Others the Pr0hibi tiOnists Cast Some
 Doubt

Westerville, O., April 3O.-Gov. Fnnk O., Lowden of Illinois is the ofiy presidential candidates so far nom the anti-saloon league of rerica has approved as suitable to c prohibitionists.
 In statement given out tonight. '. F. A. Baker, general superin- ndent of the league, says, after
 brief review of Governor Low en's record on prohibition that Prohibitionists consistently can pport him if he is nominated" Senator Warren G. Harding's pro- bition record is reviewed at con- \ Bderable length, but no definite yatement as to his acceptability or on-acceptability is made.
 Senator Hiram Johnson of Califor- ia, the statement says. "is being plidly supported by the liquor in- srests of California not because of nv particular service he had rem cred him, but he seems to command he support of the discontended and he liquor people just at this time he very much discontented."
 Commenting on Governor Lowden, he statement says he was opposed pr election as governor by many of he prohibitionists of Illinois, but ince his election as governor he had been eminently fair and friendly 0 the prohibitions laws.
 The statement reiterated the posi- H ion of the league as regards Cover for James M. Cox of Ohio and Gov fnor Edwards of New Jersey, as an bounced some time ago, by declaring hat Governor Cox is "thoroughly ket" and that Governor Edwards is lot really a candidate, but "simply Running as side partner to Cover hor Cox in the hope of accumulat- Eng some wet strength that may be Burned over to Cox at an opportune lime"
