London, July 3.-Hundreds of
German and Austrian students are
starving to death in their desper-
ate struggle for education, accord
ing to DIR. Jesse Holmes. of Swarth-
more College, who was in London
for a short stay recently after tour
ing the continent in the interests
of the Friends war victim relief
work, of which he is American
commissioner.
B The condition of the university
students in these countries. said
Doctor Holmes, Is as critical as that
of the question and most of the
lies. Few of the students have one
good meal a day. Books are out
o fthe question and most of the
men wear their old uniforms but
toned up to the neck to conceal the
absence of a shirt. Men students
have gone to bed exhausted from
hunger and have been founddead
days later.
Professors at Vienna University.
many of whom had a worldwide
reputation before the war, are liv-
ing on the aid provided them by
English and Americans. An aged
professor, world famous, lived for
three months on tea and soup.
Twenty thousand men and 1900
women, said Doctor Holmes. are en-
rolled in the universities of Wen
ma. An even larger number is at
tending the schools in Germany.
Germany's condition is critical.
according to the Friends commis-
sioner. People are dying quietly in
, their homes of hunger. Nobody
has enough food but the people who
became rich through the war, and
the people show a despair and ap-
athy that makes them unfit to cope
with conditions.
professional people show the
signs of starvation in Vienna" said
Doctor Holmes. Working people
do not look so bad. but teachers
and professors. educated employees.
show every sign of wretchedness
and hunger. Union workers are
comparatively well paid: Wages
have been increased 500 to 1000 per
cent, while salaries have been only
doubled"
In Poland and Serbia. which
were also visited. the problem was
stated to be chiefly that of disease
and undernourished children. Ty-
/ phus is raging in Poland. while in
Serbia. though food is more plenu-
; full. the number of tubercular chill
dren constitutes d grave problem.
! A conference of relief workers is
to take place in Vienna and DOC
tor Holmes is to attend this and

! fore returning to the United states

DOWNE.

London, July 3.-If wars continue,
famine will spread and the cost of
the British Army and Navy win
be more than taxpayers can sup
port The burden of taxation is
already dangerously high. 1t is to
public economy, that is to say, to a
reduction of the cost Of govern
ment, that we must look as the only
means of relief.
While the war was in progress eI-
travagance had its own way. SPEND
ing departments grew up like mush-
rooms and were necessarily stated
by persons many of whom were
wanting in administrative expert
ence.
We should be more than human IL
some ething Of the old recklessness
did not still survive. The spirit Of
lavishness is especially discernible
in the peremptory demand for a
rapid restoration of the standards
of comfort and well-being which
prevailed before the war. in the en-
couragement of vast philanthropic
enterprises (out. of rates or taXes)
for better housing. improved educa-
tion and military land settlement on
ruinous terms.
Retrenchment Unpopular.
Pleas for delay and circumspec-
ton seem ungracious or wanting in
sympathy; and in the face OF ex-
penditure, private and public, which
Is in progress on all sides, people
are impatient of suggestions that
this, that, or the other project may
be wholly admirable, but that We
cannot afford to carry IL out until
we have attended TO the cure ncy,
restored public credit and lowered
the general level of prices.
With such forces arrayed against
him, IL is hard indeed for the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer to hold his
own, and he will be not ungrateful
to those who endeavor to strengthen
his hands in the courageous resist
snce which he has offered to more
than one extravagant proposal
We must avoid ambitious VEN
lures, and notably commitments
abroad. The Mesopotamian venture
is a case in point. The old frontier
of the Indian Empire was difficult
enough to defend. What will be the
strate gical position when we find
ourselves obliged to defend what
will, in effect. be a new frontier?
Ine lateSt news from TerSla is pro-
foundly disquieting.
Again, we must make up our
minds that England cannot afford to
act as fairy godmother for the new
communities which We have carved
out of the map of Europe. We can
not run the risk of entangling our
. selves in any more of the twenty
or thirty wars which are. accord
ing TO Sir Henry Wilson, going on
at the present time.
Curtail Expenses.
Unless the utmost vigilance Is
shown in the restriction of such VEN
lures as these. the people of Great
Britain will become more and more
impatient of the burdens they are
called upon to bear. To these bur
dens they will submit. reluctantly
perhaps, but still without rebellion,
SO long as they feel that their in
terests are carefully regarded. and
that we are, year by year, making
steady progress in improving our
financial position, but that patience
will not be forthcoming if there is
! reason to suppose that money is
being spent because our government
is careless, or ambitious, or afraid

Paris. July 3.-British "domina-

Mesopotamia were denounced at q
meeting OF the parliamentary group
for economic action" at the Chamber
of Deputies by NJ. Gabriel Bonvalot
and Prof. A. Tassart. explorers who
have just returned from those coun-
tries. The explorers urged the dep
titles not ito abandon to the EngI
lish those regions which are the
richest in the world and which were
sllocated to France by the UNDER
standings Of 1915"
The revolution in Mexico Is up
held by the. Americans solely on ac-
count Of the oil situation and be-
cause the wells on their concessions
are beginning to give out" said NJ.
Bonvalot. In the LevAnt, the Eng
lish are endeavoring to monopolize
the oil production. While we are
talking politics these countries are
doing business and to our detri-
rent."
OIL Not Only Wealth.
THE oil wells pf Kurdistsn," said
Prof. Tassart. are in the zone sllo-
Gated to France by the agreement
OF 1916. These concessions have
been accorded by the Turks to Eng
lish companies but not to the Eng
lish government. The best proof of
that is that Mr.. Lloyd George has
attempted to sake these wells for
TIE government. II we cannot at
present do anything about these in
dividual contracts We should not
fail to take political action which
sooner or later will lead TO the ex
, ploitation of these oil wells for our
own account.
"Kurdistan is not only rich in oil.
II has also agricultural wealth,
which could bring us from 27.00o.-
600. 900 to 10000. 900, 900 francs year
ly. Kurdistan is country OF
grapes and apricots. 1t could pro-
duce the worlds preserve supply.
1t is also a wool-producing tcoun-
try and that is why the English

children who speak French. An open
road therefore is prepared for us.
; When the public learns what is
/ going on in the Orit mt" said NJ.
! Bonvalot during his address, there
i will be great indignation. 1t must
be understood that English colonial
agents are supreme in these coun-
| tries. Habituated to dealing with
people of color they employ the

us. The attention of the British
