Waterville, Me-, Dec. 3-Dr. JOHN
G. Towne of this city, commander of

gion would not lehd it's recommen-
dalton to the campaign to raise
$4,000 in this State for the relief
of German children. Headquarters
for this purpose have been opened at
Portland.
1T appears to be matter of gen.
eral opinion that the need for Amer
lean assistance has not been suffi j.
GENTLY established. and the general
thinking public in this country feels
that Germany is well able to handle
her own responsibilities if she so de-
sires," continued DIR. Towne.
Il think the present crisis in Ger
many is the fault of the political
and industrial powers controlling af-
fairs in that country. and by their
clever manipulations of the value of
the mark. the German national debt
has been wiped out. Furthermore, it
is estimated that Americans by deal
ing in these marks during the past
couple of years have lost approx
mately a billion dollars.
Il believe that the kind hearted
American people could with more
advantage contribute a few million
dollars to provide proper sustenance
and care for many American babies
and childen. and also for the thou
sands of American service men and
their families who are still gretaly
sufferingz from the effects of the late
war because of lack Of funds and the
necessities of life.
1.-THE American Legion has been
trying for over four years to have
the people of this country properly
realize our local needs. l feel that
these local affairs should require in
vestigation and relief before the
needs of n country which prior to the
late war was entertaining ideas of
world dominion. and since that war
has done everything conceivable to
avoid the terms of treaty entered
into and ratified by it,"
