is incurred as a result of patrio-
tic motives and action in doing
that to ones judgment and
firm convictions are for the best
interests of his country in so far
as the facts are known at the
time can not at it's worst be
classed other than a divergence
of opinion. Only a fool or
knave would ever confuse these
convictions with pacifism, pro-
Germanism, or Bolshevism. But
so thoroughly confused are the
people the universities the Unit
ed States congress, the govern
ment departments, every news
paper office is stocked with men
who are in mortal terror of those
terrible epithets. They tip toe
by day and quake and quail by
night, because they know that at
this moment the man who in
domestic policy stands about
where Roosevelt stood in 1912
and in foreign affairs where
Woodrow Wilson stood when he
first landed in Paris, and in his
doctrine of federation where
John Milton stood two and half
centuries ago, is certain, abso-
lutely certain to be called paci-
fist, pro-German and Bolshevist.
And thus the nation finds itself
in the face of aggravated pro-
blems without any source of in
formation that it can really
trust, and without leaders to in
terpret events.
People become restless and UNI
certain, and highly sensitive to
moral epidemics. The one thing,
the only thing that can stabilize
mems minds in the gigantic flux
and shift of the present world, is
trustworthy news, unadulterat-
ed data, fair play of newspapers
giving disinterested fact, and the
free play of public opinion. AS
to other insinuations of our at
titude' while in the legislature,
we do not care to burden our
reader with an explanation of
the facts in the case as they con-
Germ only our own honor which
cannot lightly be impugned. Suf-
flee to say that when we were in
the legislature our country was
not at war and any action that
had for its purpose the preven-
ton of war cannot be construed
as unpatriotic, especially when
we where elected on a peace pro-
gram. To those who care to
know what our attitude was at
that time we suggest that they
read, Review of Reviews, April
edition 1917, Clapp's Economic
Aspects of the War;, George
Bernard Shaw's Common Sense
about the War" as also Bertrand
Russels writings. But who
cares? The war is won even
though peace is not.
If some of the element in this
country who pose as Super.
Americans had come to the sup
port of Woodrow Wilson at the
proper time and Wilson had not
show quite such an intolerant
attitude towards the Senate w
might have realized the idea
principles of his pronouncements
as to our aims in the war and
also have had a workable League
of Nations. But as it is, it il
lust what Brailsford says it is.

.B,5OO,OOO CHILDREN
/ FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
| Eight Leading American Organ
izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation Of effort In the
history Of American relief and charlta-
BILE organizations has grown out OF the
disaster which threatens 8.6OO,OOO
European children this winter. To the
headquarters OF every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past !;
The children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers in the track Of war, will
perish BY the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them
When DR.. Livingston Farrand, chair
man Of the Central Committee Of the
American Red Cross, returned from
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need Of the children. From
i the feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas Of every sort. The Pro-
testant churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
Of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life Of Europe ID threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power of American charitable
thought and effort behind 1t, has been
formed. 1t consists Of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand, representing the American Red
Gross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee; Wilbur X. Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights Of Columbus; DR.. G.
w. Hibbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council Of Churches.
II II the purpose Of the Council to
raise $4,000, 600, In an appeal center
Ing at the Christmas holidays to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and
community Of the nation, It is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
cooperating agencies will bs formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF the amount sought, S23, 100000 will
be used for basic food. For every one
OF these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, in the form
OF transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
TO be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $10,OO00OO Of the fund is
Just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising Of the childsaving fund.
1t Will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep constant
eye on the administration of Americas
merciful gift, In order that there shall
be no wastage and NO tendency toward
pauperization.
