. AIDED BY LUTHERAN
RELIEF FUND LOANS
tBy Associated Press)


BERLIN, March 8.--American Luth-
Grams have just completed year of
relief work in Poland, designed to help
Poles to help themselves. which is
highly gratifying to DR.. John Alfred
Morehead. European commissioner of
the National Lutheran Council of
America, who has just finished an in
spection tour in Poland.
With $25O,000 which we loaned to
Polish farmers, and did not give to
them, we have enabled the agricul-
turalists in nearly 500 villages, with a
total population of probably 100000,
to erect temporary homes, restore
their farms and become self-sustain-
ing" said DR.. Morehead. Il have just
visited the section to which the loans
were made. The farmers have paid
four percent interest on the small
loans, as they agreed, and in some
cases they have even paid off the
principal in a single year."
The villages aided by the American
Lutherans are chiefly in the vicinity
of Lublin and Cholm, where DR.. More
head found the population living in
cellars and shacks in the fall of 1919.
The country had been laid waste by
years of fighting. 1t was a land Of
small farmers having tracts of lands
varying from five to 40 acres, but with
little machinery, no stables. no houses,
no animals and no seed.

head for food and clothing he called
together local committees and told
them ne would rather help the COM
munities re.estabIish themselves on a
permanent oasis than grant temporary
relief which would only better their
situation for a short time. Loan banks
were established in each of the vii
lagos under the direction of local COM
mittees.
The farmers were able to get their
fall blowing done and many of them
planted rye. Buildings were thrown
up, and spring found them ready to
plant vegetables, wheat and other
grain. The $25o000 advanced by the
American Lutherans was equivalent to
roughly S5,000,00O Polish marks be-
cause Of the favorable exchange.
Outlook is Changed.
81 found the villages have differ
emit outlook upon life," said DR.. Moor
head. 1.-THE spirit of hopelessness and
ruin Is gone. Workmen and mer-
chants have profited by the good for
tune of the farmers, and there has
been a general spiritual. as well as an
economic, regeneration. The plan
worked so we'll that the interest is be-
ing used to help other villages and ad-
ditional appropriations will be made
from our relief funds to extend this
sort of relief in Poland" st.
All in all, the American Lutherans
have given $4,000, 900 for European re,
lief work in the last IS months and
this has been expended in IA coun

from the new Baltic governments
made out of Old Russia to Bulgaria.

views as to the results of American occu-
patton in Haiti were presented yesterday
to the special senate investigating COM
mittee by trio of witnesses.
Richard f. Forrest of Rye. y. Y, the
first of the three, said that the work
done by the American forces toward res
toration of law and order was truly re-
markable" and that disappointment which
he said was felt by the Haitiens was due
to failure in their expectations of being
quickly raised to a state of prosperity.
The second witness, Max Zuckerman
of Boston, who enlisted in the marine
corps As Joseph Rosenthal Of New York
city and served in Haiti from November,
1915. until October. 1915 testified that
third degree practices were inflicted upon
native prisoners, who, he said. were pelted
with sandbags and lifted until their toes
only touched the ground in order to wiring
from them information concerning cacos,
or bandits. .,..
Fines imposed by provost court upon
natives was used TO purchase furniture.
stationery and other supplies, and 10 pay
marines serving With the court additional
wages, Zuckerman declared.
The marines. as a unit, did very good
work, but there was some Individual feel
ing among the men against the natives -
he added. Later, under examination by
counsel for the COMMITTEES, Zuckerman tes-
titled that the marines followed orders
not to fire until fired upon, that sand clubs
were used upon natives in the presence
of Captain Torrey of the marine corps.
who questioned prisoners after they had
been beaten, but that no American officer
was present when prisoners were strung
up to force confessions, or when natives
were fired upon by gendarmeS. He placed
the responsibility for the ill-treatment of
the natives, with the exception of the
sand clubbing incidents, upon the native
gendarmes.
