NJ. BRAND. the French premier.
began the discussion Of the Russian
famine by saying that the Russian
people. who had fought with the
allies in the beginning OF the war,
might justly look to them now for
help.
I propose that all the allies join

nations who are interesting them
selves in the administration Of re-
lief through Red cross societies and
other private sources" said Mr..

claimed Mr.. Lloyd George. But !
wish TO point out" he added, that
such efforts could not reach many
OF the sufferers. The Red Cross
cannot perform the miracle Of the

on a great scale. not only for the
sake OF Russia, but for the sake OF

mine would cause more losses than
the last war.
I have no admiration for the
soviet government" Mr.. Lloyd
George continued. but relief Is i'm
possible without it's cooperation, in
asmuch as IL controls transport and
all the official machinery. No one
could move about Russia without
its permission. think for this pur-
pose. and for this purpose only. the

Biggest Fos.iI. in Berlin

Dinosaur specimens in the Berlin
Museum are described by DR.. w. D.
Matthew of the American Museum of
Natural History. who has just re-
turned from trip Of four months in
Europe. The German collection has
been unknown in this country hith-
erto.
There is brachiosaurus he be-
lieved to be the largest land creature
that ever existed on the earth. The
remains have not been mounted. The
skeleton was practically intact ex-
cept for the tail. The huge reptile
probably was several sizes larger
than the brontosaurus which is to be
seen in. the Museum here. 1t may
have been 100 feet in length and pos
SHY fifteen to twenty feet high.
This treasure and several dinosaurs
were obtained by the Berlin Muse
um's field expedition in East Africa
before its activities were checked by
the outbreak of the war. Owing to
the lack of funds since the armistice.
the specimens have been kept nm
mounted. and nobody who has known
about them has seemed to find time
to write their story. DR.. Matthew
made arrangements for an early ex-
change Of publications with the cura-
tors and scientists of the countries he
visited. He says that the German
Museum officials whom he met gave
no evidence of bitterness against
Americans.

Maine Behind Quota
European Children's Fund

Portland, Jan. 14-Several Maine
towns and cities which have already
completed their quotas for the Euro
pean Childrens Relief Fund were
today still forging ahead with their
subscriptions in order to make up
any deficit which might arise from a
proper lack of interest of other towns
and cities in Maine. A large num-
Der of towns sent in contributions to
State headquarters yesterday but the
amounts were small and the aggre--
gate was not, large. The State, to
date, has raised only about third
of it's quota to save the lives of the
100000 starving children in Europe.
Checks for this fund may be mailed
to Herbert j. Brown, State Chairman,
State headquarters, City Hall, Port
land, and the amounts will be credit
ed to the towns from which they
come. or to the places designated by
the people sending in the checks.
Some confusion has arisen owing
to the fact that the Near East Relief
and European Relief Council are
conducting simultaneous campaigns
