FOREIGNERS SENDING
VAST RELIEF HOME
Over 80 Per Cent of Food Drafts
Sent to Europe Gifts From
Immigrant Population.

Out of their earnings, for the most
part as unskilIed laborers, living from
hand TO mouth, the fOreign-bOrn ele-
ment in the United States is contrfbut-
ing largely to the funds for food sup
plies to aid the starving peoples OF
their native lands.
Figures from the Food Draft section
of the American Relief Administration
show tkat 1893, 40 had been sent to
Poland, up to the end of November.
s15S,17O had been sent to Czecho
Slovakia, Hungary had received $3.50,
76O, Germany had 81, 443,619 and Aus
tria $2O46,72 1t was estimatef>hat
more than 80 per cent OF this mOfey
had been spent by nationals OF these
various countries who are now in the
United States. There are about 1.5OO,
600 Poles. 100000 Hungarians, 500,OW
Czechs and 100000 Slovaks in this
country.

NURSES NEEDED BY THE PUBLIC
HEALTH SERVICE

The United States Public Health
Service needs hundreds of graduate
nurses for its general hospital work
but also and particularly fer the
care of former soldiers suffering
from nervous and mental disorders
So great is it's need for the latter
class that it is probable that at pres
ent enough trained nurses are not
available ill the country. The Pub
Tic Health Service accordingly pro
poses to establish training school
for nursing in neurO-psychiatric dis
eases in it's special hospital (No.
49) on Gray's Ferry road, near Phil
adelphia, where nurses with general
training MAY take special course in
this class of work. This hospita. mas
a capacity of 240 patients and will
afford exec ptiOnal opportunities for
instruction in the most modern
treatment.
An appel is made to nurses to
come forward for this work; for if
they do not 30 so there seems to be
no one to take their place. The
hospitals now operated by the United
States Public Health Service are al
ready $50 nurses short, and the ser
| vice faces the necessity of opening
several new ones with an inadequate
force. Applications should~be made
| to the surgeon general, United
| States Public Health Service, Wash

EUROPEANS PLEADING :
FOR Their CHILDREN
Elder Generation Sacrifices Sell
That Hope of Future May
Receive Means of Life. s

The one optimistic note in the des-
perate need prevailing through the war
torn areas of eastern Europe is the ex-
traordinary and touching faith Of the
people in the children. The elder gen.
Grafton has put all its hope and trust
in the future of the generation now in
its early years. In fact, in many in
stances it is deliberately sacrificing L.
self for the children, the Europe of to-
morrow.
In the war-ravaged districts supplies
necessary for maintenance Of insti-
tutions 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.
OOO, 1000 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,
the American Red Cross, the American
Friends Service Committee (Quakers)

of Christ in America, the Knights OF

SIMMONS DENIES
KHAN IS LAWLESS
IMPERIAL WIZARD BARES OR
DER's ACTIVITIES TO INvEsTi-
eating COMMITTEE.
SAYS TRAITORS CAUSE TROUBLE
TumbIes In Heap Calling Upon the
Father to Forgive The kIan's
Prosecutors.

MISUNDERSTANDING denial OF
charges that the Ku Klux Khan con-
tanned within it's ranks a lawless band
of hooded hoodlums was made before
a house committee by William ]. Sim
mons, of Atlanta, Ca, its founder and
imperial wizard.
Turning squarely upon members
who had listened intently for nearly
two hours to a dramatic defense OF
the organization, Simmons declared
that, standing here in the presence
OF Cod" he wanted the world to know
that II one-thousandth part of the
charges were true he would call to-
gether the grand councilium of the
khan for the purpose of forever dis
banding it in every section OF the
United States.
Collapses Under Strain.
Closing his all-day defense. Sim
mons toppled over while the chair
man of the investigating house COM
mittee was attempting to stop the APP
plause which broke before the wizard
collapsed. Friends rushed TO his side
and supplied stimulants and II was
made known that his condition was
not serious but 1t was necessary to
adjourn the hearing.
A solemn stiffness prevailed at times
while the wizard. holding aloft the
ritual of the Khan, read parts Of the
oath taken by Klansmen. And then
III husky tones he told the committee
that while Julius Caesar had his
Brutus and Washington his Benedict
Arnold, he too could enter that fell
lowship because he had suffered from
reasonable conduct from those with
in.
Turning to the crowd, Simmons
declared he wanted TO "call upon the
Father to forgive those who had per-
secuted the Klan," and as the words
left his lips, he tumbled into a heap.
Gives Membership As 10000.
Through the testimony of Simmons.
the committee has learned that the
total membership Of the Khan, herald
ed as having passed the half million
mark, actually was around 80, 200. The
witness declared it's growth east and
west was greater than in the south.
Asked II he had not claimed "a mill
ion membership" Simmons smilingly
replied he might have done so but
that he was speaking generally, not
by the card.
