that we have five children in the hos

more than these youngsters who even
with a tandage over their eyes sit al

LAS an officer OF the law you can
greatly help us in our endeavors TO
see that animals get a fair show. You
would thereby be doing good hui

fees of your Office. by bringing all Of
tenders to justice.
"As you probably have not at hand

sending you herewith a copy of our
Charter and Bylaws which contains
the main features of the law A clear
definition is given of what constitutes
cruelty.
"You will also notice that where

AT THE CIRCLE PLAYHOUSE
TONIGHT

David Powell, the handsome young
actor who is playing the role of Ar
scnc Lupin in Teeth of the Tiger,
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT picture Show
ing at the Circle Playhouse today, is
a firm advocate of the strenuous life.
A few months ago Powell felt him
self run down from lack of regular
hours and exercise and engaged a
burly trainer to get him in condition.
The fellow took his job altogether too
seriously, according to Powell, and
turned the actor out of bed every
morning at six O'clock for a brisk
workout and a cold shower Several
times Powell made up his mind to
dispense with his services or disap-
pear or otherwise get rid of this new
conner who was causing him so much
inconvenience. But he weathered the
storm and now feels so much more
zestful and pleased with life as the
result of his strenuous methods that
recently on completion of Teeth OF
the Tiger" when Powell went away
on q long vacation, he engaged ac-
commodations for the trainer and
took him along.

RED CROSS ESTIMATES
SOME ELEVEN MILLION
CHILDREN IN EUROPE

Dr Livingston Farrand chairman of
the Central Committee. American Red

States on the Aqutania, September II.
has Just returned to Washington. Dur
ing his visit abroad, Or. Farrand spent
Z month i'm Paris. Geneva and London,
comforting with Rcd Cross represen-
tatiyes and reviewing reports from the
various countries In Eastern Europe,
in which the Red Cross. has been and
is active.
Accurate figures are necessarily
not to be obtained in the present con
fusion said DR. Farrand. but at the
same time certain broad facts stand
out. Economic reconstruction is pro-
ceeding slowly. hut is evident when
Compprcd with the conditions which
Immediately followed the armistico in
1918 In general. food supply is inn
proving and is no longer the over
whelming problem il was year ago.
II is clear. however. that in Poland
and Austria the coming winter will
find a marked shortage and wide
spread suffering is certain.
General relief must be continued in
those countries and at certain other
points until further stability is reach
cd There is. however. one problem
that overshadows all others and which
the world must be brought to realize.
That is the problem of the children of
Europe. Red Cross estimates. which
are necessarily uncertain, but eX-
trcmely conservative. indicate at least
eleven million children in Europe are
fatherless from war. and who face The
next few years without hope of ade-
uuate caro- unless outside assistance is
given
THE National governments con
Cernod are necessarily devoting their
chief attention and the bulk of their
resources to fundamental political and
economic reconstruction. As a c0nse-

of other children undernourished and

tAe dangerous situation is obvious. Ii
is this generation, devitalized and ne
elected, upon which in few years
the stability of Europe must rest. To
illustrate conditions. the Red Cross
estimates that Poland has at least five
hundred thousand orphans. most OF
whom know no homes but camps for
destitute refugees. In Czecho-Slo-
vakia. Austria and Hungary are one
million war orphans. Recently some
FIVE thousand of these were found ne
elected and wandering like animals in
the Ruthenian mountains. In Jugo-
Slovakia are probably half million,
and many of these must care for
themselves during the coming winter.
Some have been found living in de-
vastated villages from which all the
adults have fed. The picture os ap-

yided that a unanimous vote must be
had on decisions By the Council II
4sas realized that, If America did not
agree, no effective action could be
taken. Now the Republican Senate
has defeated ratification. the Repub-
lican platform has lodged the ques-
ton: and the Republican nominee has
opposed our entrance into the League,
proposing nothing Tut an impenetra-
BILE maze OF words as a substitute.
Contrast with this darkness the clear
provisions OF Article 5:
Except where otherwise ex-
pressly provided in this Cove
nant or 10y the terms Of the pres
ent Treaty, decisions at any meet
ing OF the Assembly or Of the
Council shall require the agree
ment OF all the members Of the
League represented at the meet
ing. All matters OF procedure at
meetings Of the Assembly or OF
the Council including the appoint
ment of committees 10 investigate
particular matters shall be regu-
lated by the Assembly or by the
Council and may be decided by
a majority of the members of the
League represented at the meet
ing. The first meeting OF the AS
sembly and the first meeting OF
the Council shall be summoned
ty the President of the United
States of America.
The only way. under this article,
by which the League could embroil
America in the quarrels of Europe
would be by Congress itself casting
the affirmative vote and behind Con-
grcss would necessarily be the peo-
pic OF the United States.
At meetings of the Council, each
member of the League represented on
the Council shall have one vote, and
may no. have more than one rep
resentative.

articles are the Democratic platform
