American Red Cross during the last
year, a large proportion Of the 10000.
900 population of the Balkan States
might have starved or. persisted from
disease or exposure. Six million dol
lars worth Of food, clothing and >medi-
cal supplies have been sent to the Bal
jkans-Rouman!a,, Bulgaria, Albania,
Montenegro. Serbia. Bosnia and Greece
since the beginning of-Red Cross re-
def operations in Central Europe.
while millions of dollars worth Of food
alone has been sent to the needy in
these states.
n The money expended by the Red
Gross in this stricken portion Of Eu-
: rope has been used to set up hospitals,
orphanages. dispensaries, mobile medi-
!. cal units and to help in the general re-
construction Of devastated areas. Amer

mentsAave been sent to the agricul-
( turaF regions where aid has been CIV

This would in- sure the Railroad and steamship lines q tonnage that would last for all time to come.
 Population to create tonnage is what you have got to have and for starter inducements must be offered to get it. Without population create tonnage the R. R. and s. s. lines will simply be failures.
