starving children of Europe.

I starving children of Europe.
From the schoolhouses of the nation,
east, west, north, and south, where the
ideals of American liberty are instill-
ed in the hearts of tens of millions of
our own boys and girls, has come a
great offering of sympathy and gene
rosity for the cold and hungry chill
dren across the sea. In the imposing
buildings of stone, marble, and brick,
the pride of our great cities, where
millions of children of every class and
condition assemble, the enthusiasm of
youth in this service of love was un-
restrained; and in the little red school,
houses nesting in rural valleys. dot
ting country hillsides, and sentried at
the crossroads throughout the land, the
eagerness of Americas boys and girls
to help the needy boys and girls of
Europe found equal expression.
From Portland, Oregon-from the
Canadian border to the Mexican gulf,
from every village and hamlet and
every town and great city of the Ma
ton, the appeal of the starving chill
dren brought quick and generous re-
Spouse. Kiwanis clubs, Rotary clubs,
Freemasons Elks, knights of Pythias,
Moose, and all fraternal orders gave
strong support. Local Red Cross and
Junior Red Cross chapters everywhere
sent offerings. Daughters of the
American Revolution did marvellous
service. Twentyseven thousand news
papers with the quick sympathy and
public spirit which distinguish the
American press, threw open their col
umns in support Of the cause, many of
them calling for local contributions,
which they gathered and turned in to
the great Child-F Feeding fund. Not only
did these editors give column after

and the millions of our fellow coun-
trymen who have contributed to this
fund will share in the thrill of joy at
the glad tidings.
Among the very first to respond to
the appeal wasPresident Harding. On
the very morning after his election he
turned from the deluge of kilograms
and the imperative clamor of telephone
calls and besieging visitors to consid-
er with Mrs. Harding in the privacy
of their own room this heart ssearching
appeal of suffering childhood, and
then he dispatched to us his wonder
full telegram, challenging Americans
everywhere to give their most gener-
Gus support, and sending his own per-
sonal check to give life and comfort
10 TWO hundred and fifty children.
During the four months since then, a
great flood of life-saving gifts has
ben pouring in from all parts of the
Nation. Many and many a widows

ing our souls, not with the haunting
gaze of suffering and death, but brim-

on the winds from the east, and they
