100000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ
izati0ns to Avert Tragedy.

The o spontaneous as well as the
largest consolidation of effort in the
history of American relief and charita-
bic organizations has grown out Of the
disaster which threatens $4,000 o
European children this winter. To the
headquarters OF every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come n steady cry for months past

When DIR. Iiviagst O IA Fsrrand, chair
man of the Central Committee of the
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
testaDt churches sent investigators
into after-war conditions and every
report breathed the impending tragedy
Of starving and diseased children.
child life of Europe is threatened with
h~eartreDdiHg 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. 1t consists Of Edgar Rick

Administration; DR.. Livingston Far

Ii is the purpose Of the Council to
raise s:33.0 600 1000, in an appeal center
ing at the. Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child

of transportation, labor, guards, cleri-
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally o~btainable.
No children receive the free food eX-
after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under Hourished. The
100000 600 of the fund is
just as urgently needed for medical

Response to Joint Appeal.

1t il utterly impossible for one who
has not actually seen the misery of
the early Autumn in Europe to visual
ke what the children Of the Eastern
and Central portions of the continent
face this winter. To say that $4,000 600
children have no alternative to starva-
ton or death from disease except
American aid. is startling, but independ-
ful scientific surveys of the economic
xnd crop conditions overseas brand
the figure as conservative.

The search for the oldest living

of the class of 1S48 and was in his
ninety-seventh year.
His death leaves DR.. John c. Ed

the alumni office of the institution.
DR.. Edwards is a graduate of the med
ical school class Of 1853 and is in his
ninety fifth year. He has already
signified his intention of returning for
the universities centennial.
In point of gradual ion DR.. Francis
FL. Smith, Emeritus professor of natu-
raj philosophy and q resident of the
university, is the Oldest alumnus. He
received his master of arts degree in
1851, and is in his ninety second year.
There are several alumni on the rec
ords of the alumni office who are
among the inatitItion's oldest sons
and efforts are being made to secure
information concerning them.
William Wills Garth. Huntsville,

FLYING LION Is
PITIFUL SIGHT
Was Mascot of Lafayette Escardille
and Had Many Wounds.

PARIS, Jan. 15.--The lion cub which
was adopted as a mascot by the Laf-
ayette squadron of aviators, the first
die for France in the war, now is a
melancholy spectacle in the Paris zoo
logical gardens but the keepers refuse
to kin him because OF the sentiment
resulting from his connection with the
American fighters. One eye is miss
ing, much of his hair is gone, he seems
decrepit with age, and if met in the
desert, his appearance would inspire
nothing bue pity. The Indignation OF
some members of society for pre-
vention of cruelty to animals has been
aroused by his mournful appearance,
why don't you chloroform the poor
old fellow" a visitor asked of the
keeper, the other day.
What do you mean by old fellow. +"
retorted the keeper THAT lion is only
four years old. He is a victim of the
war. If that lion is lame it is he
cause he got rheumatism in the first
line trenches. One of his legs was
broken when he fell out of an air
plane so feet from the ground. He
lost his eye from a well directed right
hand swing of one of the mechanics
whose fur coat he had stolen and
played with a bit behind the sheds.
"Kill that lion?" he exclaimed.
"Why he is the symbol of those tall
happy lads in khaki whose bodies now
lie along the Vesle and Meuse. / viii

ELECTRICITY TO
COMBAT CRIMINALS
Police Authorities Unit In Declaring
Dim Lights In Households Valu-
able Protection From Crooks.

Stirred by the increase of crime in
the largely populated cities of the
country with New York at present as
the centre of attention-police au-
thorities everywhere are endeavoring
to prevent its spread to territory un-
der their jurisdiction.
Education of the public in ways best
adapted to prevent the spread of So
called Crime waves" is playing a
major part in preventive campaigns
now under way in scores of smaller
cities.
Police officials in general are Unan-
inouS in declaring that burning dim
night lights in homes and stores is
one of the most effective ways to
discourage any contemplated activi-
, ties of crooks or burglars.
AS an example, Chief of Police ]. w.
RyneX of Schenectady, n. Y, after a
study OF the situation declares
dim lights are sensible investments
in home Railways, or passageways.
Records prove that the thief invari-
ably sGects the darkened home in
preference to the one that shows even
the smallest light. There are both gas
or electrical attachments that may be
used without any havoc with light
bills"
Regarding lights in stores. chief
Rynex says:
Above all, every store should have
at least one pilot light burning after
night fall. The light, if possible should
be directly over the safes. Another
light may prove a good invest
1nent if located in front of the store.
Brilliant lights are unnecessary, just
enough illumination to assure any
passing theft that his entry may be
detected. Burglar alarms, unfortu-
nately are not always reliable, and
stores thus equipped should be doub-
" fortified by the night light
Flood lights for the protection of
industrial establishments are also
endorsed highly. They have also been
used advantageousIy in homes. One
OF the leading engineers in the Cen
eral Electric Company, Schenectady is
protecting his home by having at each
corner Of the house a so watt lamp

BERLIN, Jan. 15.-German radical

planning to overturn the present Ger

that they have drawn up lists OF
Capitalists and undesirables" who
shall be killed when the revolution be-

One of these men, a hotel waiter,
who calls himself a precinct leader
complained the other day that his list

money. He said, superior came
to him one day and read a list of
names. and announced these We're to

the killing began. The waiter de-
clared he acknowledged orders but
thought the program was being car
ried too far.

pected to kin a lot of folks when the
revolution gets under way, he said.
My list is certainly big enough, What
DO you think about that?"
Apparently his opinion of his or

he would carry them out if oppor-
tunity offeredAbe merely laughed.

not much concerned about the "red

are very infrequent.
