NEARLY sz.see RAISED FOR
 STARVING EUROPEAN CHI

Almost $500 was added to the "Inyis- ible Christmas Guest" fund on Monday bringing the total to date 10 S1e0s- There have been several contributions of less than s10 but such contributions only keep child for as many months as the amount of the contribution. The SIG contribution keeps the child for one year
 It has been arranged with theatre managers to have speakers in all the theatres during the drive and ple1gs cards will be sent out to a large num- Der of people in the city. There will be no canvassing and the size of the con tribution is left entirely to the generos- ity of the giver. The cause is one llat should command the instant attention of every person who has good red Ameri- can blood flowing in his veins. It is Humanitarian cause, the saving of little children from starvation.
 Contribution to the feeding of Euro pesn children is more than charity ard Is demanded by more than humanitarian impulses, strong as those are. says a statement issued by the European Re lief Council of Boston. This vast relief operation which. Americans have carried on since the armistice has been one of the greatest aids to, the restoration of confidence and normal life in the most disordered sections in Europe Its ces- -sation- this winter would invite a major tragedy in the countries depending up- on it and would greatly jeopardize their chances of recovery. It Is capable of demonstrable proof that contribution to | this work is not only wise philanthropy, but sound and broad statesmanship.
 All who have knowledge of the cur rents of trade of the world, realize that all will suffer of a considerable portion
 of the coming generation in Europe sue. l fn fra oa15 E,s-
 it. Charity to save mind and body also ] serves the purpose of economic rehabili. | ta ion and the essentials of the inter.
 pendence of nations are thus preserved. . While the slow. machinery of govern.
 ments is operating to meet those con
 ditions which they alone can remedy. v, can continue to minister to the one mos
 critical need-the daily call for food bS the hundreds of thousands of little chil.
 dren who have no C> to depend on fol that food but America. This appeal |. the American business men for contri
 button to the European situation is di
 rect and efficient The solution of othei problems confronting Europe can possi
 ply be postponed for a few months. O,
 longer, but this problem of feeding th,
 waif and undernourished children ad
 mits of no Dostponement and no break ii
 the continuity of the supply Of food I
 lished and functioning- under Americai
 supervision. Its cessation would charg
 us with a moral responsibility for th catastrophe which would follow in it wake-a responsibility which does no
 attach to failure over which VIC. nav,
 no control
 Nothing could be more practical thai
 this relief work. The system Is On
 perfected by the organization under Mir
 Hoovers direction after six years ex
 perience in the same kind of work on,,

 quantities by expert buyers on the Thar
 rovest margin obtainable. It is shippe
 in bulk shipments and. when possibl,
 in cargo lots. It IS distributed under h most rigid governmental supervision [
 the kitchens where it is prepared int meals for, the children. At every stas ; precaution possible is taken to preycn pilfering or wastage.
