of the American merchant marine
in the publication Fairplay, says;
America is upon the sea to stay.
Who can doubt that she will, after

America has expended $40O0,0OO,-
OOo to make a place for herself
upon the seas, and has made that
place. and will undertake earnestly
to retain it; there is sufficient COM
merce for all the nations to thrive
upon.
1T should not be forgotten that the
Ruthless enemy practically wiped out

made up for this lack in wor d ship

HCK CHINESE PAL
FAMINE FUND.- IDEA
Washington Committee Asks
Sef-Sacrifice to Aid Starv-
II ing Millions.

The request that Washingtonians
pick pal in China" is made by the
Wishing 'n branch of the American
committee for China Famine Fund, of
which Robert \. Harper is chairman.
This, means that a boy or girl, or man
orI Toman, is asked to save the sum
he Or she usually spends in treating
a friend to cigarettes, ice cream soda
on u movie and turn it in for the bene-
tit of some person of the same age
starving in far-of China.
t1'he famine has swept the north of
China. plunging that section of the
country in the diresf distress" the
cbmmittee declared. MANY persons

zeal to pick a pal in China while

stamps may mean the saving of
thousands of Chinese lives

according to a statement from Thomas
W. Lamont, chairman of the national
committee, who says that funds must
yet be raised in this country to carry
at least 100000 destitute persons
through until late in June. He ap-
peals to America not to let the good
work lapse, but to carry it through
to it's conclusion.
Because of the urgent and imme-
diate need of these millions of starv-
ing men, women and children, the
committee IS entering upon it's most
Intensive Embarrassing effort. 1t has
designated the eight days from May
/ to May s inclusive, as China
