asked to help in feeding the starv-
ing children of Eastern and Central
Europe. A committee has been or
ganized, with Hon. Herbert Hoover
as chairman, to raise a fund of
S33,0OO,O 900 with which to alleviate
the suffering Of at least $4,000
starving children. His Eminence
Cardinal Gibbons, before he was
taken i'll, was very much interested
in this charity and had a collection
taken up in the churches of the
archdiocese. Since then 1t has been
learned that greater funds are
necessary, as the wants of the suf-
fering little ones continue to be
most distressing. I urge you, there
fore, to try to interest your congre-
cation in this appeal and encourage
them to make generous contribu-
tions.
His Eminence warmly approves
of our efforts to bring more COM
fort to the suffering children in
whose name this appeal is made.
Faithfully yours in Christ,

ASK s20,OOO,OOO
MORE FOR SICK
VETERANS CARE
Director Jones Certain
Congress Will Not
Fail Soldiers.

At least s2o, 900. 900, more than the
amount appropriated by the House
in the sundry civil bill for hospitali-
zation will be required before the end
of the next fiscal year IL the thou
sands of disabled war veterans un-
der government care are to receive
adequate treatment, r. G. Cholme-
ley-Jones. director Of the War Risk
Insurance Bureau. declared last
night.
He said that it is costing the gov
ernment over 100000 a month for
the 2oooO-odd patients for whom 1t
is caring, making it obvious that the
S33,o0o,o0 which the House has set
aside for their treatment is grossly
insufficient for the task. The num-
Der of patients will reach 10000 by
October /.
Unless the original amount OF $780,
100000 which was asked by the bu-
reau for hospitilizatioh purposes Is
restored when the Senate considers
the sundry civil bill, there will be
no alternatives, Director Cholmeley-
Jones declared, except to return to
Congress for more money when the
frst appropriation runs out.
Confidence that Congress in any
event will readily provide what ad-
ditional money may be needed
to take care OF the veterans was
expressed by Director Cholmeley-
Jones.
They will get a square deal" he
said. The War Risk act directs
that they shall be taken care of,
and 1 know that Congress will
give US all the money We need for
that purpose"
Another promise that the dis
abled soldiers will be adequately
taken care of-came from Repre-
sentative Royal C. Johnson, him
self a world war hero and a strong
partisan OF soldier welfare legis-
lation in the House.
Il can readily see why the men
feel that the government is slight
ing them in slashing the appropria-
| tion for their care" he asserted.
They know that the soldiers are
too easily forgotten and they think
that that is what the government
has done. But they need not be
afraid. Money will be provided
whenever they need It, and 1 can
safely say that l speak the senti-
ment of the entire House in this
regard"

DISTRICTS RELIEF
FUND STILL SHORT
S5,OOO OF QUOTA
Only Week Remains to
Raise Money for Starv-
ing Little Ones.

Starting on its final week of the
campaign to save lives of 10000
children in Central and Eastern Eu-
rope, Washington's committee of the
European Relief Council faces a def
icit Of $500 of these little sufferers.
AS SO will guarantee food and med
ical supplies to a child until the
crops are harvested overseas in the
stricken countries next summer,
Ss5,OOO must be raised here this
week in order to reach the Dis

Pat Rooney Helps.
Pat Rooney, the star of Love
Birds" which closed a successful
engagement at Polls last night, auc-
toned $50 Liberty bonds between
the acts and helped in his inimita-
BILE way to swell the fund.
In the latest statement sent out
from Mr.. Hoover's New York head
quarters 1t is made imperative that
funds for the feeding of these chill
dren are urgently needed before the
winter is over. If clothing is to
be provided, 1t should be done when
the weather is inclement and the
bodies of the tiny sufferers protect
ed from the rigors of biting winds
and icy mornings.
When children are starving and
asking in pitiful tones for bread,
the European Relief Council believes
in sending shipment after shipment
of -four, sugar, condensed milk, peas
and beans to be distributed broad
cast to the needy. 1t is a notable
fact that in the first stage of fam
inc the human animals eat the
food of their cattle and thus un
dermine the production of milk. In
the second stage they consume the
cattle themselves. Years are re-
quired to restore the herds.
Cattle Required.
The children of the white races
are dependent upon the cattle for
their very survival. Thus famine
bears hardest upon the children.
Long after even bread becomes avail
able, milk and fats are still scanty.
% In all countries of Europe today
the bread is less appetizing than in
1914, and is still war bread in some
districts, notably Austria. Yet. due
to the supplies shipped by the Eu-
ropean Relief Council, white bread
Is served 10 the destitute child pop
ulation along with cocoa, rice and
beans and condensed milk.

said might have serious conse-
quences. The prelate was reported
to be resting comfortably tonight.

said he was feeling well and asked
to sit up. He spent several hours In
wheel chair in his bedroom, but
many times closed his eyes and ap-
peared to be on the point of relapse.
DR.. O'Donovan regarded these symp-

INAUGURAL FUNDS
BATTLE RENEWED
AMONG SENATORS
Borah Says Expensive
Plans Violate Republican
Election Pledge.

Inauguration affairs monopolized
interest In Congress yesterday when
a new war broke out in the Sem
ate on extravaganza, The House
passed the $4,000 apropriation for
the ceremonial stand, and the SEN
ate District Committee heard Ian
appeal of the Inaugural. Committee
for use of the Pension once for the
inaugural ball.
Borah ResoIutien.
Senator Borah of Idaho introduced
a concurrent resolution forbidding
further appropriations and the va
eating OF public buildings for the
ball and other ceremonies. Sena-
tor Norris Of Nebraska offered an
amendment, forbidding the bring
ing of cadets here from Annapolis
and West Point, and Senator Sher-
man OF Illinois offered a resolution
directing the Senate District Com
mittee to investigate charges that
hotels plan to overcharge inaugular
visitors.
The Sherman resolution was re-
ferred to the committee, while that
of Senator Borah with the Norris
amendment was laid on the table
for consideration today, when an
other outbreak is expected The
Senate District committee this
morning will resume its consider

Senator Borah's resolution re-
cited that the Republican party had
given its pledge to the people II
would not spend 81 needlessly and
that in defiance of these pledges and
in the midst of great distress every
whre 1t is proposed to, provide for
the most elaborate and expensive
inauguration ever held anywhere in
the world.
The Senate resolution appropriat'
ing $4,000 for the erection Of
stands I'M front OF the Capitol was
passed by the House following 8

The debate developed the fact
that many members are in favor
of legislation to prevent Washing

"profiteering" from the inaugura

House, should be liberal in provid
