Europe Faces Winter Hunger
With 100000 Orphans
To Feed, Says Red Cross Head

Marked improvements in living
conditions in Central Europe since
the armistice was signed are not
sufficient to forestall a threatened
shortage in food supplies and wide

Livingston Farrand, chairman of
the Central committee: American
Red Cross. DE. Farand returned
yesterday to Washington from a
visit to Europe.
Aside also from the food problem,
Europe is faced by a child problem -

. DIR. Ferrand praised the work of
Herbert Hoover in leading the
American Relief Administration
which is planning to continue it's
work of feeding the children in the
countries where there is likely to be
food shortage.
Another important problem. is
that of preventable disease" DR..
Farrand said. The war has created
the most favorable soil lima ginable

ease and international attention is
now being drawn to this danger.
1t is quite evident that the American
Red Cross can not withdraw from
Europe but must remain to help
save the children and fight disease
to whatever extent the resources
placed at its disposal by the Ameri-
can people make possible"
