POLES PUT FAITH
In YOUNGER RACE
Hopes for Their Children
Inspire People of
Country.

REST-LITOVSK. Jan. 81. The
one optimistic note in the deep need
prevailing throughout the wsr-torn
areas OF eastern Poland is the eX
traordinary faith OF the people in
the children The elder generation
has put all its hope and trust in the
future OF the younger element In
fact. in many instances, IL is de-
liberajeIy sacrificing itself for the
children Of the nation, the citizens
Of the future.
Government reports show that.
while many hospitals are in neg
Iected condition. while homes Tor
the aged are run down and are per
mitted to remain so. every where
the orphansEes are eNcellenUy
eqipped and in nearly every case
splendidly conducted. Every IA
cility is placed at the disposal Of
these institutions by the local au-
thorities. In wsr-rsvaged districts,
where supplies Of All kinds are
lacking, the orphsnaEes get the
best OF everything which can be
obtained.
How far this is true is well indt-
Gated by the fact that in one dis
trict the authorities, applying 10
the American Red Cross for aid
asked assistance for one military
hospital. four general hospitals and
twenty orphan asylums- The pro-
portion, so markedly fsvorinE the
orphansEes at the expense Of other
Charitable institutions. indicates
the extent to which the elder gen
Grafton Is ready 70 sacrifice itself
for the sake OF the children.

TELLS OF WEALTH
ON CHINCHA ISLES
Birds Cover Land, Fish Teen
In Waters, Says Geographic
Lecturer.

OFF the Peru coast are about forty
groups Of islands to which the
wealth of the Indies" of olden
times is mere bagatelle, according
TO Robert, Cushman Murphy, who
lectured before members of the Ma
tional Geographical Society last
night on the wealth of bird and
fish life of, this region.
He explained that the Humboldt
current, bringing to the tropical
shores the cooler temperature of
Antarctic waters, made this abund-
ance of life possible. He showed
motion pictures of the guano pro-
ducing birds, including photographs
of their most famous habitat, the
Chincha Islands.
On some of the islands the bird
population is so thick that it hardly
seems as IL another could alight,
and the waters off these islands con-
tains masses of fish life which oc-
casionally resemble closely packed
sardines, with heads all in one d.
rection.
Realization of the value of these
bros mas put an end to their rapid
depopulation and a conservation of
this wealth which is shipped to the
four corners of the world, Recent
study of some of the varieties of
life has dissipated many traditional
beliefs. For example, 1t was thought
that the otter was an enemy of the
birds. 1t was found that this was
not SO. the otter now is being saved
from depreciation, and its skin fur
nishes shoes for the Peruvian army.

PROSPECT FOR Aid
TO DISABLED VETS
GROWS BRIGHTER
House Committee Virtu.
ally Agrees to Increase
Hospital Fund.

The prospect OF Congressional ac-
tion to meet the crying need for
adequate hospital facilities TO care
for the disabled veterans Of the
world war assumed yesterday a
dehRite and brighter aspect, FOL
iowibg two days on hearings in
which the wounded men were de-
scribed as in an increasingly pit
liable plight, the House Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds
virtually agreed to increase the
proposed appropriation Of $4,000. 900
for hospitals to &I5,OOO.OOo.
Refuse TO Rent.
The hearings developed the fact
that the old soldiers homes in dir
ferent parts OF the country, which
Congress was informed last spring
had a capacity Of 10000 beds. were
capable OF holding only LOO.
The Information also forthcoming
was that the House Appropriations
Committee had refused to approve
the plan providing that the Federal
EuONAu ENNl HOePAAdle :
built especially for wounded men
by States.
The State Of New York has al
ready appropriated $4,000, 600 for the
construction of such a hospital while
Oklahoma has appropriated $780,
900. The program has been 10 have
the State construct the hospitals
and rent them TO the Federal gov
ernment at 10 per cent of their cost
per year so that within ten years
they would be paid for.
Asks Six Hospitals.
John W. Langley, Of Kentucky
said that the committee had about
come to the conclusion to INTRODUCE
a bill providing an appropriation OF
Sl5,OO0,000 for six hospitals. Lang
ley, who is chairman of the COM
mittee. has previously introduced a
bill sppropriating $4,000, 900 or five
hospitals, but the measure was de-
layed and finally came back to the
committee for consideration.

Congressional Committee 10
Visit Porto Rico,
Davila Says.

Congress will send a committee OF
Senators and representatives to
Porto Rico at the request Of the
island government about March Is
to look into conditions there, Resi-
dent Commissioner Davila an
nOHnced last night.
AS stated by the delegation Of
Porto Rican Senators who visited
Senator Harding at Marion last
week, the Porto Ricans desire more
adequate self-government and the
Congressional committee is being
invited to visit the island in order
to gather first-hsnd Information as
to the desirability Of giving the
Porto Ricans a native governor.
Porto Ricans feel that under the
tutelage of the United States the
people of the island have progressed
far enough to be entitled 10 elect
their own governor. What they
will ultimately ask for will be prac-
dcally statehood, according TO Ds-

make the trip probably will be
