SURVEY SHOWS T0BACCO'S
LA. q FOES ARE LOSING GROUND

New York, May 1S.-Statutory
prohibition of the use of tobacco by
adults Is still a long way off If the
editors of the country truly interpret
public sentiment in their communi-
ties. This statement is based on the
results of a. QUESTIONABLE conducted
by Edward A. Moree of this city for
the Tobacco Merchants association of
the United States. The QUESTIONABLE
was sent to nearly $4,000 editors. Re-
plies were received from nearly SO
per, cent representing total circula-
ton of 20, 100000. '.-
OF the 7,S47 editors replying, 1898
or IS per cent declared their COM
munities against tobacco prohibition.
Only per cent of the remainder
found any considerable sentiment
favoring such prohibition.

London, May 18.-(By Ed. L.
Keen)-Premier Lloyd George in a
public statement today again chal-
lenged French procedure in Upper
Silesia, he declared. He adhered to
his speech in commons last week when
he said the Silesian situation imperil-
ed the peace of Europe and declared
Germany has as much right as Poland
to invade Silesia. The French press,
he said, had been impairment in its
criticism of anyone disagreeing with
its view. He said such action by the
press would be fatal to any entente.
The premier declared that the ma
ton which had come to Frances sup
port during the war agreed with
Great Britain that Poland had ex-
ceeded its rights by invading Silesia.
The allied supreme council or the
Polish leader Korfanty, must decide
Silesia's fate, Lloyd George declared.
"Likewise," he said, "the allies CO.
operating must decide the fate of the
world"
"The treaty Of Versailles is an in
finitely momentous document. Those
who treat its provisions as the sport
of passion are prejudiced and may
not have to live long before they lack
their hot-headedness. It is temporari
ly difficult to send troops into Upper
Silesia but the difficulty will be over
come"
II call attention to the fact that
we agreed to use the British fleet if
Germany disobeys the supreme coun-
ellis mandate"
"Great Britain Isl willing to accept
the decision of the treaty signatories
but we will not consent to have the
treaty we signed trampled down."

HOOVER RELIEF MONEY
ACTUALLY SAVES LIVES
EVERY DOLLAR GIVEN BY AMER
IcA BUYS FOOD OR MEDICINE
FOR STARVING TOTS.

| Every dollar given by an American
10 save the lives of starving Euro
pean children will go to the purchase
OF food, and will not be used for anv
other purpose.
This statement has been made nuh.
lie recently by the Louisiana Commit.
tee OF the European Relief Cour Gil.
which has Its headquarters in the Az
ISOLATION of Commerce building. New
orleans. 1t was made at the request
OF Herbert Hoover, who is heading
the national campaign to raise funds
to feed 100000 little ones in Central
and Eastern Europe. The campaign is
being financed entirely out Of the
pockets of philosophical citizens.
For instance, in one city, where ad-
vert1sements are being published in
the newspapers by the local commit.
tee, number of leading men of the
community are paying for them. Like
wise, such clerical work as is neces.
sary is being paid for in this way, al.
though most of the workers in the
campaign are giving their services
voluntarily.
The expenses of transportation and
distribution of the food after it lie
bought will be borne by the American
Relief Administration, the organiza;
ton Of which Herbert Hoover is the
head, In conjunction with tie govern.
ments of the stricken nations, which
are appropriating 81 for every 81
given in America for relief.
Thus, every man or woman who
gives SO to save life-the sum that
will keep one child in Europe alive
until the next harvest is gathered
will have the satisfaction of knowing
that his money will do exactly that.
It will buy food, nothing else.
Donors should get into Immediate
touch with their parish chairman, OF
send their money directly to state
headquarters, to Felix g. Gunter,

100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izations to Avert Tragedy.

The most spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation Of effort In the
history Of American relief and charita-
BILE organizations has grown out Of the
disaster which threatens 100000
European children. this winter. To the
headquarters Of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers In the track Of war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them !
When DR.. Livingston Farrand, chair
man Of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, returned from q
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
with the need Of the children. From
the feeding-stations Of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas Of every sort. The Pro
testant churches sent Investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
Of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
child life Of Europe IL threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole. power Of American charitable
thought and effort behind it, has been
formed. It consists OF Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
Administration DR.. Livingston Far
rand. representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee; Wilbur x. Thomas, representing
the American Friends Service Com
mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights Of Columbus; DR.. G.
V, Hibbard, representing the Young
Mems Christian Association; Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Young
Women's Christian Association; DR..
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council OF Churches.
1t is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $Ss 100000, in an appeal center
ins ut the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and
community Of the nation, It Is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
cooperating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitality necessary funds.
OF tho amount sought, $23,OOO,0O0 will
he used for basic food. For every one
OF these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, in the form
Of transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help. cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex-
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $11O00,0O0 Of the fund is
Just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising Of the childsaving fund.
It will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep constant
eye ON the administration Of Americas
merciful gift, in order that there shall
be no wastage and u. tendency toward
pauperization.
