in which unhealthy children. arc
helped back to strength through
fresh air aid treatment. was entire
" incapable Of handling the number
Of cases which should go there. Last
year, she declared. more than $50

in the preventorium were reported
but due 10 the lack If facilities only
80 OF that number were able 10 un-
dergo the treatments. SO far the
preventorium has been operating
only six months out of the entire
year but authorities Of the league
are making a great drive this year
in which they hope that enough
money may be gathered 10 permit
the preventOrium to operate during
the entire year and to increase facil-
tiles TO admit so instead Of 80.
Many UndernOurished.

school children by capable physI-
clans, out Of total number Of 1868,

About $50 people. including rs
credit men from Niles, Plymouth,
Laporte. Mishavaka and South

wives and friends, at the Novem Der
dinner Of the South Bend Associa-
ton OF Credit Men, held last night
In the Chamber of Commerce gym
nasium. F. r. Mccarthy, professor
Of foreign commerce at Notre Dame
university. spoke on Consumers
Cooperation" in place OF +. H.
was forced to cancel his engagement
here because Of business. DR.. James
l. Gardiner. pastor of ST. PauPs
Methodist Episcopal church OF this
city. spoke on The Fundamentals
Of Prosperity"
Dr. Gardiner used as his theme
Roger W. Babson's book. THE Fun
damentals Of Prosperity" in which
he lists integrity. faith and vision.
Industry. cooperation and the de-
velopment Of the human soul, as the
five fundamentals. In talking on the
first Of these principles, DR. Gard
liner referred to the peace confer
ence now being held in Washington
and said: You and I can thank
God tonight for the return of Amer
lea as the moral and spiritual lead
er of the world. She is showing it
at the Washington conference. The
conference will not be worth a scrap
Of paper however. unless the ma
tons concerned are honest"
Faith and Vision.
In developing his second point
DR.. Gardiner said that faith and
vision have made America what II
is today" He said that all the
great railroads and other industrial
developments had come as a result
Of these qualities.
He then went on 20 explain that
IL was wrong to think that genius
alone was the mother of invention.
The first two fundamentals without
industry will accomplish little" said
the speaker. Edison is undenia bly,
a genius but that fact alone. without
drudgery and hard work. would
never have made him. the man he is
today"
The fourth and fifth fundam entails
were developed along similar lines
and the speaker gave some interest
ing examples TO illustrate his point.
In his address Mr. Mccarthy
traced the cooperative movement
from It's beginning up 10 the present
time. He said: There is a grow
ing conviction that the industry OF
the world should be carried on for
the sake OF the many and not for
the betterment Of the few. Our
present competitive system creates
needless expense in distribution At
the present time In this country,
according to government statistics
two per cent OF the people own
more than the other lO5.000.O0O."
He then explained the principles
a cooperative movement should fol-
low and he also emphasized why
so many stores in this country had
failed.

"that one government" had proposed
cancellation by the United States of
loans to it. He preferred mot to
say" what government and the ques-
ton was not further pressed by Sen
ator Reed.
Most of the session was taken UP
with discussion of Mr.. Houston's as
sertion that he did not propose to
make further loans to foreign gov
ernments.
Senator Reed said Secretary Hous-
toms assurances as to his plans would
not bind his successor in office, which
he said his measure sought.

placed.

the railroad labor board tNat the car
riers must adjust wages or face bank
ruptcy. He also declined to submit
the matter to Congress.

railway labor unions and to the As
sociation of Railway Executives, who
also had sent communication to the
White House.
Confidence was expressed by the
president that all questions dealing
with railroad labor and management
might be left safely to the two bodies
intrusted under the transportation act
with such matters-the railroad labor
board and the Interstate Commerce
Commission. He accordingly informed
the labor and carrier representatives
that he was submitting copies of tele
grams received from them to these
two bodies as "the only action deemed

resentative MondelI of Wyoming, re-

II an agreement is not reached in
the near future, Mr.. Mondell said, the
fault will be that of America, as in
former days the fault was that of Ger
many.
"The fault will be ours" he assert
ed, because as we are the only great
nation which could maintain enor-
nous establishments on land and sea
without bankruptcy.
More than that, it is our duty to
lead the way, because, strangely
enough, we are the only great nation
that since the world war has officially
taken a position favorable to the in
crease rather than decrease of ar
maments and warlike expenditures
and the one nation in which, l fear,
there is a really dangerous sentiment
in favor of increases rather than de-
crease Of military establishments; a
sentiment limited, it is true, to the
number of people openly avowing it,
but sentiment, nevertheless, deeply
planted, shrewdly calculating and very
persistent.
1T is true that the government of
Japan. stirred ard spurred by the

Washington.-The famine situation
in China has reached such crisis that
15,000,00O people may die unless i'm
mediate help is given, according to
information received by the State De-
partment.
Another famine equally severe may
arise next fall unless food is. made
available to the Chinese farmers who
are physically unable to undertake
the spring blowing, statement is
sued by the department said.
The Chinese are doing all in their
power to relieve the situation, the
statement added. and it is estimated
that S5,000,000 win be obtained for re-
lief by surcharges imposed on the
railway, telegraphic and postal serv-
ices. Red Cross funds amounting to
S1,000.O00 will help $4,000 persons for

Berlin.-The premiers of the several
federated states of the German nation
were in session with the Berlin cab
met over the reparations question, the
meeting being followed with the an.
nouncement that complete unanimity
prevailed among all the participants
in the conference.
The invitation extended by the en-
tente for Germany to send representa-
tives on March / to the London con.
ference on reparations is construed
here as indicating that the allies ex-
pect Germany to submit counter pro
posals and that the negotiations at
Brussels by the experts on financial
and economic affairs are therefore
superfluous for the time being.
Leaders of German industry, ship
ping and finance have been arriving
in Berlin for consultations with the
governments staff of economic ex-
perts.
| Much of the press comment in re-
gard to the situation warns the
government against pinning its faith
on the possibility that the attitude OF
the new Washington government will
supply Germany with moral backing
These commentators urge the govern
ment to present Germasy'ss sscase strict
| ly on its own merits.
Commenting on the conference OF
the premiers with the cabinet, the
Tageblatt says the participants left
it with confidence that their interests
would be safeguarded at the London
meeting of the allies. The Lokal An
zeiger, dealing with the disarmament
question, says Bavaria will submit to
the disarmament requirements, but

agree that reservations were made as

ward Pilsbury, secretary and credit
manager Of the B. Rosenberg & Sons
Inc, large shoe manufacturers and

Pilsbury sums up the situation in
the following statement:
''The price slashing sales of Decem
Der and January have started the con
sumer buying. The completion of Jan
uary inventories, although showing
stocks on hand to be below normal
has brought about a general read
justment of prices to present level
