BY WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

The greatest personal victory yet
won in this Democratic convention was
scored by a young Filipino by the name
OF Jose 2. Melencio. He has charge OF
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He Is only twenty-slx years old and
received his education in the public
schools Of he Philippines-under
American teachers. as he proudly
boasted-and at Georgetown. d. C.
He is a remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace Of EN-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astonished at the
strength Of his argument the skill
, 1920-10-21

with which he marshaled HIS facts and
the high tone of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.
When one of the committee asked
him some questions he returned to the
platform and answered them with as
much logic and precision as II he had
taken weeks to prepare his answer 1t
was a remarkable triumph.
As n who began twenty-five years
ago to fight for the promise of indie
pendence l was proud of this illustra-
tlon OF what the Filipino Is capable.

The letter continues. America has not failed in the past in great-heart- edness. She never had a more poignant call than this. Winter is on the land. The money of many nations is value less outside their own boundaries Economic and crop conditions, aggra- vated over considerable area by actual warfare last summer, make famine with its terrible train of diseases cer- tain visitor until next harvest. In evitably the helpless children Will suffer most. No child can grow to health and sanity on the pitiful make Shifts for food with which millions of selves this winter. It is obvious that European adults must content them the remedy can come only from the outside.
 America saved 6,OOO.OOO European children winter before last. Normal remuneration cut the need nearly in half last year, but unusual conditions have resulted in scant shrinkage of child destitution during the twelve months just past. The response of America must now decide whether B. 500 900 of these charges, in acute dis tress. shall begin in January to be turned away from more than 1700O

Clergymen Tell Of Help
 Needed In Central Flu rope-Relief Council Ap- peals To All To Aid Cause

ClsrEymen in churches yester- day spoke of the help needed to keep European children from star vation until the next harvest. Christian Civilization is on Trial" was ths principal text. Here are some of the words of appeal
 The war was proof that ethics, commerce and civil government as they now exist have failed.
 When this fact breaks in all it's grim reality upon the human mind there may come the dawn of a new day.
 ~Selfishness has all but ruined the world Unselfishness alone can redeem it. Christianity is on trial.
 Jealousy, greed and selfish power still assert their right to rule. Pestilence, famine, poverty and death are the harvest of their planting.
 -Will unselfishness, pity, service and sacrifice loom large now in the shattered world and prove that justice and righteousness are pos Gible7
 els love stronger than hate? Can charity outreach avarics7
 The answer lies as by divine challenge in the hands of America.
 T know America has tasks and noeds at home. but I make no apology for seeking to lay at your hearts our obligation to avert the incredible tragedy that threat ems these children. They are no more my children than they are yours. Neither of us can dare let them suffer through our indiffer- ence and claim stewardship to Christ"
