poor that Belgium would have been
during the war, had there been no COM
mission for relief in that country, &C
cordlng to DR.. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri-
can Relief Administration official, who
recently returned from Warsaw.
DR.. Kellogg was member Of Mr..
Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the
conclusion Of hostilties, entered Po-
land as the Hoover emlssary In charge
of food relief He first entered Poland
in 1915, few months after the Ger
man occupation. His report Of starva-
ton, disease and suffering that exist
ed at that time Is one Of the most
narrowing documents In the records
of American relief work overseas.
DR.. Kellogg made the following
statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
with Warsaw as our headquarters.
we began operations In Poland In jan
uary, 1919, and within a few weeks
there. was established a steady impor-
tation of food into that country. Tons
and tons Of 1t came from overseas
through the Port of Danzig.
ut was impossible to do all that
the administration wanted to do, be-
cause the need of Poland was too great,
but 1t was agreed that enough food
should be sent to Poland to care for
the four million people until the great
agricultural districts could again pro-
vide for them.
But In addition to these four mil
lion people who so presslngly needed
relief, there was another call for relief
from source that could not be re-
of these were orphans, hungry, ema-
ciated, destitute and diseased. SO the
American Relief Administration added
to its work by instituting system of
feeding these children. In few
months million and quarter Polish
children were getting free meal ev-
cry day Of special food prepared to
counterfeit the effects Of their previous
undernourshment."
To tinsh the Job eight great organ
lzations have united under the name
OF the European Relief Council to raise
the funds necessary to care for the
food needs and the medical needs of
the 100000 children of Eastern and
Central Europe. These organizations

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

One year ago today, the nation was
shocked by the news of the Ode
death OF Theodore Roosevelt. One of
the greatest characters in American
history had passed on" We doubt
IL any man ever was held IN higher
Esteem or welded greater influence
fhan this great leader.
Although stricken at r. time when
his country needed him most. his
wonderful personality is still the in
SEPARATION and guidance of hundreds of
thousands of his fellow-countrymen.
With each passing year the hold
that Theodore Roosevelt had on the
American people will increase. Only
now are we beginning to understand
this great man and our admiration
and love increases as the many sides
of his character are unfolded.
Tho success of this gloriou republic
may he said to be due largely to the
fact that such personalities have been
raised up among US. Theodore Roose-
Welt was, indeed, n of these.
