CHURCHMEN TO

Federal Council Of Churches Sends
Appeal for Starving Russians
To Many Churches.

New York, Dec. IA. - In behalf Of
the starving children of Russia the
Federal Council of the Churches Of
Christ in America will issue q Christ
mas and New Years appeal to the
churches, to the Sunday schools and
to the Christian homes of the United
States. 1t will ask for money to help
same 100000 children from starry
ing.
The message will go direct to 1885,
900 congregations, the entire relig-
ious press and through them be pre-
sented to constituency of 50,000,000
persons.
Because OF what the churches have
done in the past for the children of
Polgium and Central Europe, for de-
Y. stated France, for China sufferers
an dthe Armenians, generous re-
sponse is expected in spite of the
many appeals that are already before
The churches.
Tie call for funds is being issued at
he request Of Herbert Hoover, who
declares the need to be imperative.
President Harding has given his en-
platte approval to the plan.
The relief made available by these
funds will be distributed through the
american Relief Administration and

mittee, which are in closest coopera-
ton. The distribution will lbe under
lie supervision Of a representative of
he Federal Council on Herbert Hoov-
ers staff in Russia. Though it had
net bee nJhe intention of the Federal
Council officials to ask for funds at
this time, reports of famine conditions
in Russia show such an appalling need
l'at 1t was absolutely imperative to
90 ahead with the appeal at once.
To handle the situation the Commits
sion on International Justice and

appointed special committee on
