AMSTERDAM, October THE work
of investigating scientifically and
neutrally the causes of the world war
will require four or five years, the
secretary-general of the central COM
matter in charge. told the writer to-
day.
Some forty persons are engaged in
Holland, Switzerland. Norway and
Sweden in gathering data which will
eventually be printed in English in a
series Of books having a total of 1000
pages. Denmark, though neutral
country. was not invited to take part
in the inquiry, because it profited by
the war through the restoration of
Slesvig.
Inspired by Americans.
The commission was formed on the
initiative of a few American humani-
tartan associations wkch supplied the
funds to meet the expenses. At first
the commission was accused of being
pro-German and formed for the pur-
pose Of generating Germany from re-
sponsibility for the war. The COM
mission included several members
who had previously defended the
men resigned one after the other. ard
it is claimed now that the organiZa-
ton is really neutral and scientific in
character. 1t was stipulated original
ly that no Americans should take part
in the inquiry and that the manner
of conducting the war should be eX-
cluded from consideration.
The investigation deals with the
nature of the national and interna-
tonsl situation in June. 1914. politics
in each of the belligerent countries
from the time of the Serajevo mur-
ders to the beginning of the war and
the development of such politics dur
ing the war. The work has been
distributed among the scholars. his
torians and military men of the neu-
trail countries named.
1t is doubtful if all the powers
concerned are prepared to open their
archives for neutral inspection. Thus
far only Germany and Russia have
shown Willingness to do so--a
rather excessive willingness. by the
way-and these countries. it is point
ed out. have no reputation for
veracity to lose.
What if Great Britain and France
refuse to show their records to the
Investigators" the writer asked.
I'VE shall use other means to dis
cover the truth replied my in

RED CROSS PLANS
TO AID REFUGEES
$4,000 CabIed for PreIim-
mary Purchase of Me-
CeSSitieS.

Immediate relief for the refugee
sufferers from the Turkish military
drive is underway under the auspices
Of the American Red Cross. An
nouncenent to this effect was made
by the national headquarters follow
ing the return from Europe of Judge
John Barton Payne, chairman of the
American Red Cross. Plans are basel
upon agreement with the near east
committee under which, Europe has
always been regarded as American
Red Cross territory for relief work.
while the near east committee oper-
ates in territory to the east.
The first step in the new relief plan
by the American Red Cross took the
form of a cabled order to f. J. Swift.
! business manager of the Red Cross in
Paris, for $4,000 20 be devoted to the
! purchase of blankets and clothing. In
addition to the $4,000 for clothing
and blankets $4,000 was authorized
by cable for the purchase of medical
supplies. Following the immediate
distribution of these items Mr.. Swift
will make a survey of the entire
refugee situation in Greece. and on
the result of this survey will be based
the further relief operations of the
American organization.
VIII EStabIiSh Omm tSSiOn.
Tentative plans We're also made for
! the eSta bliShment in Greece by the
; Red Cross of its own commission. This
commission will have its headquarters
in Athens. 1t is probable that the
head of the commission will be sent
from the United States, but that most
of the personnel will be recruited
from Europe. Pending the appoint
ment of such commission Dr. L. II.

eighteen years and was member of
the former Red Cross commission TO

Red Cross supplies in cooperation
with the American Relief Committee

In addition to the above opera tions
a corps of Red Cross nurses will be
asst lgDed to duty among the refugees.
THE nursing work will be in charge of
Mrs. Charlotte Heilman OF Athens. a
nursing education in the United
States.
Thousands Pour In.
The creates: need reported is for
blankets. clothing. medical supplies
and food. According to the latest
estimate received as to the refugee
situation there are 100000 in Athens
10000 in Salonifli. with thousands
pouring into these two cities from
Grecian territory overrun by the
! Turks. These refugees are of many
natioralities and come from the whole
Asia Minor coast from Salica to the
! Black sea. Stocks of food are report
I ed low and the population has gone
on rattons for the benefit of the refu-
gees. Edward Capps. former Red

Mountain climbers OF the west have
turned their scaling abilities to the
task Of doing what lies beyond the
seemingly impenetrabie wall Of S.ski-
you county's hidden valley" G. W.
Pellepreau. the discoverer, said he
had slimpsed the valley from a
mountain peak with the aid Of high
powered binoculars. From all re-
ports. he explained, the valley had
never been entered.
Some men~believe it abounds in
game and that mineral deposits are
likely to be found.
The walls Of sharp peaks surround
the valley. standing like a barricade
against mans advance. Once by the
walls, Pellepreau predicts. scaling
ropes and ladders will be necessary
to get beyond the chasms.
He estimates. the valley contains
300 acres.
