~ 2CI verge of actual starvation,

certainly doomed unless
American aid is forthcoming imme-
diately, leading citizens throughout the
entire South are rapidly organizing TO-
render assistance during the Christ

does its part in preventing what may
be the greatest tragedy the world has
ever known.
Headed by Herbert Hoover, every
relief organization now operating in
Europe has joined in an atfort to pre-
vent the disaster and all Of them have
agreed that the plight Of these helpless
children shall have complete priority
in overseas charity until the situation
is met. The organizations which are
actively engaged with the problem, and
which are Jointly making the appeal,
are the American Relief Administration,
