LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROPE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies
Combine to Save 100000
Children Death Menaces.

Eight great relief organizations,
working among and for every race and
creed, have united under the name of
the European Relief Council to CO.
ordinate child relief in Europe this
winter. The Council will seek to pro-
vide funds for 100000 starving and
diseased children In Eastern and Cen
trail Europe and to administer this
relief economically.
1t consists of Herbert Hoover, chair
man, and Franklin K. Lane, treas
urer; Edgar Richard, representing the
American Relief Administration DR..
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warburg,
representing the Jewish Joint Distri-
button Committee; Wilbur X. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers); James
A. Flaherty, representing the Knights
of Columbus DR.. c. " Hubbard, repre-
senting the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION; Miss Sarah S. Lyon, repre-
senting the Young Women's Christian
Association; DR.. Arthur Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council of Church
es of Christ in America.
1t is the purpose of the Council to
raise $33,O00,00O, in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the desperate situation re-
garding child life may be met. In
every town and community of the ma
ton, it is planned local committees,
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the vi
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, $23,0O0000 will be used for
basic food and $10,00O,O00 for medical
| service.
For every one of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form of transportation,
labor, guards, clerical help, cash con-
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free food except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
$10,000,000 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 child saving fund.
1t will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencies, keep constant
eye on the administration Of Amer
ica's merciful gift in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
! toward pauperization.
"This is the largest cooperative be-
nevolent organization ever attempted
in the United States" Mr.. Hoover
says. 1.-THE organizations represented
have come to the unanimous, though
Independently formed conclusion, that
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can
avert incredible tragedy for the help
less children involved The organiza-
lions forming the Council will organ
lie their representatives in every
town and community of the nation
for the raising of the necessary funds

"They are no more my children than
yours" is Herbert HoOver's homely yet
eloquent plea for 3,500,000 European
children who face incredible tragedy
this winter unless America comes to
their rescue. The funds by which
American aid has been feeding mill
lions have run out, and that the work
may not stop and thus precipitate
what would amount to "a massacre of
the innocents" seven other great Amer
lean relief organizations have united
with Mr. HoOver's organization under
the name of the European Relief Coun-
Gil in a joint appeal for funds. The
collaborating agencies are the Ameri-
can Red Cross, the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers), the
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee,
the Federal Churches of Christ in
America, the Knights Of Columbus,

Uncle Sam never does anything by
halves, and the u. S. Marine service
is proud of that fact in connection
with their work. According to Major
j. c. Fegan of he marine recruiting
station in Los Angeles, when the ma
rines undertake any accomplishment
a record goes into Washington with
the most complete detail. From it
Uncle Sam can figure just what each
man has accomplished, where he has
been, and exactly what it has cost to
make the trip.
To illustrate the thoroughness with
which these records are prepared: A
telegram was received last week from
Sergeant Harvey A. Kern who tested
the Maxwell Marine No. 2 on its in
itial trip from Los Angeles to Bak-
ersfield March 1. The telegram read
"132 miles Bakersfield trip. TETON
Pass on high gear, 5R gallons gas.
No additional oil or water" Signed,
Kern.
at is great satisfaction when the
marines are out on the road in serv-
ice to know every day just where they
are and what they have accomplished"
said Major Fegan. when Sergeant
Kern sent in that brief report, it told
me more than the mere words ex-
pressed. 1t told me that he had made
one of the really difficult trips OF
the month because of the heavy rain
that day and because part of that
trip was through dense clouds which
prevailed above the 5000 feet eleva-
ton. AS Libre Summit and TETON
Pass are over 1000 feet above sea
level, it undoubtedly meant that Ser
geant Kern drove his Maxwell 40
miles or more through fog so dense
that he could not see Is feet ahead
of his car. 1t meant that in addition
to "a miles to the gallon as the ecoh-
omy mileage of the Maxwell he made
a safe trip even under the most ad-
verse conditions"
