EUROPEANS PLEADING
FOR THEIR CHILDREN
Elder Generation Sacrifices Self
That Hope Of Future May
Receive Means of Life.

The one optimistic note In the des-
perate need prevailing through the war
torn areas Of eastern Europe is the ex-
traordlnary and touching faith of the
people In the children. The elder gen.
GRAFTON has put all it's hope and trust
in the future of the generation now in
its early years. In fact, In many in
stances 1t is deliberately sacrificing it.
self for the children, the Europe of to-
morrow.
In the war-ravaged districts supplies
necessary for maintenance of insti-
buttons are lacking, but it has been
noted that always the request, for, out
side aid emphasizes the needs Of the
orphanages. How marked is this in
clination was Indicated by the fact
that one district. Of Poland the au-
thorities, appealing to an American re-
lief organization for assistance, asked
assistance for only one military hos
pital, four general hospitals and twen-
ty orphanages.
The appeal has reached America
with the result that because they know
that literally millions Of European chill
dren face starvation and death from
disease unless the aid that only this
country can give is Forthcoming, eight
great American relief agencies have
banded together under the name of the
European Relief Council to raise $685.
100000 needed to tide the baby genera
ton OF. Europe over possibly the most
critical winter 1t has yet faced. These
are the American Relief Administration.

Children Chief Sufferers In Land

Says Relief Worker.

Poland Is In the destitute state for
want Of food and clothing among the
poor t!.lt Belgium would have been
mission for relief in that country, ac-
cording to DR.. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri-
can Relief Administration official, who
recently returned from Warsaw.
DR.. kellogg was member OF Mr..
Hoover's staff in Belgium. and at the
conclusion of hostilties. entered Pc.
lend as the Hoover emissary In charge
of food relief. He first entered Poland
in 1915, few months after the Ger.
man occupation. His report of starva-
ton, disease and suffering that exist
ed at that time is one Of the most
narrowing documents In the records
of American relief work overseas.
DR.. Kellogg made the following
statement regarding the work after the
armistice:
with Warsaw as our headquarters,
we began operations In Poland in jan
uary, 1919, and within few weeks
there was established steady impor.
tatlon of food into that country. Tons
and tons Of it came from overseas
through the Port of Danzig.
1T was impossible to do all that
the administration wanted to do, be-
cause the need of Poland was too great,
but it was agreed that enough food
should be sent to Poland to care for
the four million people until the great
agricultural districts could again pro-
vide for them.
"But in addition to these four mil
lion people who 80 pressingly needed
relief, there was another call for relief
from source that could not DO re-
sisted: the children of the land. Many
of these were orphans, hungry, ema-
ciated, destitute and diseased So the
American Relief Administration added
to it's. work by instituting system Of
feeding these children. In a few
months million and quarter Polish
children were getting free meal ev-
cry day Of special food prepared to
counteract the effects Of their previous
undernourishment."
To finish the job eight great organ.
izations have united under the name
of the European Relief Council to raise
the funds necessary to care for the
food needs and the medical needs Of
the 100000 children Of Eastern and
Central Europe. These organizations
are the American Relief Administra.

has been prepared at the direction Of
Senator Smoot, who will be chairman

the number of employees and so forth.
The purpose of the joint committee
on reorganization is to investigate
and to make recommendation to Con-
gress for the better coordination of
government agencies, so as to elm
mate duplication of work and waste
of money.
Senator Smoot has heard from Sem
ator Harrison of Mississippi and Rep
resentative Moore of Virginia to the
effect that they cannot be in WASH
ington until tho latter part Of March.
They are the democratic members Of
the joint committee. Owing to their
absence the committee will not form

in Washington during the interval be-
fore the extra session Of Congress
opens, and he expects to accomplish
good deal of preliminary work for
the joint committee.

which will go into effect between the
members Of the Journeymen Tailors
Union of America. Local 1873, and the
Merchant Tailors' Exchange.
For a time the situation was critical
1t was declared today by interested
persons. Several conferences were
held between committees of the local
Merchant Tailors Exchange and the
union, and a compromise settlement
was effected at a meeting last night.
The merchant taiiorP originally
asked for a reduction of 20 per cent.
which was the last increase granted.
This was refused by the tailors. and
the compromise was made.
Numerous advances were made on
labor in the tailoring trade during the
war. and this advance was only one
of several granted" said George E.
Hebbard. secretary of the exchange.
in a statement issued today.
THE prices now paid for work are
still far greater than pre-war prices

pressed some doubt on many OF the

such a tax was paid rests on the tax
