Austria's Starving Children

Paris. Nov. 10--(By Associated

hungry children is told by Pierre
Hamp, writing in Paris weekly.
He watched the breadlines before
the soup kitchens where American
relief agencies are. feeding all those
under II years of age.
Al the door each child must show
card and when they leave they are
searched, says NJ. Hamp.
Because there is not enough for
all the hungry to be fed, the chill
dren may not carry away food. Yet
the keen intelligence of the young
sometimes outwits the watchfulness
of their elders.

Squandermania
Getting England

London, Nov. 12-(By Associated
Press)-A spirited defense against
| charges of "squandermania" the pop
ular term for official extravaganza, is
made by Captain Frederick Guest,
joint Parliamentary Secretary to the
Treasury.
Captain Guest says he doesn't see
where the government can cut down
expenses. In a letter to a political
correspondent published in the Lon
don Times, he examines the expenses
Ct departments of the state thus:
The navy and army-The personnel
of the fighting services has now been
reduced practically to pre- war num-
bers. In 1914, however. the private
soldier received one shilling per day.
He now receives two shillings and
nine pence. There has been O COR
= responding increase in the pay of ma
val men. The result is that while the
. fighting services cost eS6,000,000 in
! 1894, owing to these and other
consequential increases, the figure is
9269, 100000 today.
In 1914 the interest on the national
debt was 924.000.000; today it is
e345, 900, 900.
War Pensions-In 1914-15 these
were nil: today. s123,OO0,00O.
Education-In 1914-15 this cost
e19,000,6Uo; today, E53,0O0, 900.
Bread Subsidy-This year it has
cost 945,000.0O0
Old Age Pensions-In 1914-15 these
cost G13,000,000. Today they cost
e26. 100000.
Unemployment grants to ex-sol-
diers-e27,e 100000
Railway and housing subsidies
s52.000,000. These, Captain Guest
states, are the most considerable
items in the government expenditure
for the year. "No liberal in the coun-
try" he declares, will wish to re.
trench on education. AS for the other
items, no fruitful suggestion has SO
tar been made as to how they can be
reduced and no specific case of ex-
travagance has been made out
against the administration.
The more the financial commit
ments Of the government are exam
ined, the. more it will be realized how
profoundly the war has affected ma
tional finance and how difficult it is
for the government, with the best in
tentions in the world. to keep down
the national expenditure" Captain
Guest declares

Council Of Social
Agencies Takes Over
Work at Cincinnati

Cincinnati, Ohio. Nov. 29-One OF
the most pretentious experiments in
social service work in the United
States passed into history recently
with the announcement of the dis
solution of the Social Unit here
After rather tempestuous career OF
four years the operations of the Unit
were curtailed by the paucity of funds
and hereafter its work will be sub
divided and pass under control of the
various branches of the Council OF
Social Agencies which is financially
supported by the public at large and
centralizes charitable work.
The crowning blow to the Unit was
the complete failure of a recent cam
paign to raise funds for the continu
ance of the work. although $4,000
was contributed by the citizens with
in the territory of the district in
which the Unit operated.
In many lines of human endeayor
the Unit performed splendid services.
as in the district where the Unit
operated it engendered a remarkab BILE
community spirit and a neighborly
friendliness. Originally the Unit was
financed to the extent of $135,O0O by
interested citizens of Cincinnati and
New York. The money called for a
three year program. Mr.. and Mrs
Wilbur Phillips of New York were the
prime movers of the organization
AS the basis of the experiment the
promoters selected the Mohawk
Brighton district, one of the most con-
gested sections of the city.
The establishment of health clinics
was the first step of the Unit. This
found expression in the weighing and
measuring of babies; the distribution
of milk: free nursing. etc.
"Block mothers" also were chosen.
These were to ascertain the most
urgent needs of the families in the
block in which they lived, and report
the various needs to the subsidiary
councils having necessary supervision.
During the war when drives were
numerous the Unit conducted the
campaign in It's district. During the
influenza epidemic its nursing and
preventative services were instrument
tai in holding down the death rate in
that section of the city.
Mayor Calvin of this city, however.
expressed opposition to the Unit. He
designated it as a government with
in a government" and declared that
its tendencies and teachings were SO :
cialistic and Bolshevistic. It de-
veioped that in war matters MIR.
Phillips was n pacifist. Phillips re-
signed as the titular head of the Unit
and he and Mrs. Phillips left the city.
An investigation OF the operations
of the Unit was made by the Council
of Social Agencies and the inquiry
did not add to the prestige Of the
Unit. Some features Of the work
were severely censured by the Coun-
Gil. The Social Unit buildings will be
