years was supposed to be incurable. For

LAUNCH VAST EFFORT
FOR EUROPE'S YOUNG
Eight American Relief Agencies
Combine to Save 100000
Children Death MenaCeS.

Eight great relief organizations,
working among and for every race and
creed, have united under the name or
the European Relief Council to CO
ordinate child relief In Europe this
winter. The Council will seek to pro
vide funds for 100000 starving and
diseased children In Eastern and Cen
trail Europe and to administer this
relief economically.
1t consists of Herbert Hoover, chair
man, and Franklin x. Lane, treas"
urer Edgar Richard, representing the
American Relief Administration; DR..
Livingston Farrand, representing the
American Red Cross; Felix Warburg,
representing the Jewish Joint Distri-
button Committee: Wilbur K. Thomas,
representing the American Friends
Service Committee (Quakers) James
A. Flaherty, representing the Knights
OF Columbus; DR.. G. V. Hibbard, repre-
senting the Young Mems Christian AS
ISOLATION; Miss Sarah S. Lyon, repre-
senting the Young Women's Christian
Association; DR.. Arthur. Brown, repre-
senting the Federal Council of Church
es of Christ in America.
1t is the purpose Of the Council to
raise $50, 100000 IN an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays. to the,
end that the desperate situation re-
garding child life may be met In
every town and community of the ma
ton, 1t is planned. local committees,
representing all the cooperating agen-
cies will be formed to secure the VI
tally necessary funds. OF the amount
sought, $23.0OO,O0O win be used for
basic food and $1O.OO0.OO0 for medical
service. ~ &
For every one of these American
dollars the local governments and
communities aided will furnish two
dollars, in the form Of transportation,
labor, guards. clerical help, cash con-
tributions and such food supplies as
are locally obtainable. No children
receive the free fooG except after
medical tests showing them to be seri-
ously undernourished. The remaining
$10,000,O00 of the fund is just as
urgently needed for medical service to
the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising of the child saving fund
1t will, with the inspecting forces Of
eight great agencies, keep constant
eye on the administration of Amer
,ica's mercifui gift, in order that there
shall be no wastage and no tendency
toward pauperiZatiOn.
"This is the largest cooperative be-
nevoleni organization ever attempted
in the United States" Mr. Hoover
says. 1.-The organizations represented
have come TO the unanimous, though
independently formed conclusion, that
nothing but prompt and united action
by the whole American people can
avert incredible tragedy for the help
less children involved. The organiza-
lions forming the Council will organ
ize their representatives in every
town and community of the nation
for the raising of the necessary funds"
