THE MATTER OF GERMAN
RELIEF

There would seem, in view Of the
supposed integrity Of some Of the
information, to be hunger and desti-
tuition in the industrial centers Of
Germany. We know that those peo-
pie have been robbed through cheap
money by as conscienceIess pirates
as history records. They deserve
sympathy--and so do many in this
old world of ours, some Of them
within the. confines of our own coun-
try. There is. however, occasion for
question how this relief may best be
given.
/ Following the passage by the
House of an appropriation of ten mil
lion dollars of the taxpayers money,
to be used in buying products Of our
farmers and distributing them IN
Germany. and the consequent raising
of the question whether such an ap-
preparation is constitutional, comes a
report from the head of the Amer;-
can Friends Food Service in Ger
hhuhs. MO otAtSo IildI tllClS 10 Ill

ricketts, and scurvy among German
children; that the visible supply OIL
lard, bacon and frozen meat partly
covered the demand for the three
weeks period, "while the milk sup
ply. one-third of the pre-war guam
tity, was not being absorbed because
the reduced purchasing power Of
money made 1t impossible for the
people to buy" This report further
states that the German government
and people are caring for two thiros
of the child feeding costs and doing
about fifty times as much relief work
as foreign agencies.
Notwithstanding this, the news re-
ports tell of German luxury, Of Ger
man tourists travelling in luxury, of
German money boarded in foreign
countries, of German industrialists
buying heavily in foreign markets. OF
huge sums spent in Germany in the
construction of factories, ships, rail-
roads. canals and in facilities for do
ing a tremendous business; also of
our farm bloc anxious to have our
government buy farm products and
ship them to Germany, of a German
vote in this country ;nuch preferring
to have the government rather than
private individuals relieve the sur
ferings of their relatives and friends
in the Fatherland.
Apparently conditions amsng the
Industrial population of Germany to-
day, paid in worthless money and un-
able to buy the product of the Ger
man farmers because of the cheap
ness of the money, are worse than
two years ago. But we have been
hearing a wall from hungry" Ger
many eve. since the war. Yet,
government publication pertaining TO
child mortality in that country dur
ing the period 1892 states that
while "the German empire belonged
before the war TO the countries with
the highest infant mortality it has
attained a more favorable position in
this cultural field only during and
since the war;" 1t further states that
an almost uninterrupted decrease in
infant mortality set in after the war.
Probably conditions are not as fav-
cradle right now, but it is due in
large measure. we: believe, to Ger.
mans inhumanity to Germans rather
than to anything else.

Lewiston SUM-

You must not let Uncle Dudley OF
the Boston Globe. with his pleasant
talk about the new cardinals, mis-
lead you into ambition toward the
Papacy.
If you want to be Pope, you must
first get yourself born Italian.
1t is interesting to see poor boys
rise to high places, in the church as
in other vocations. 1t is possible FOR
q few Americans to become cardi-
nails: but an American has about as
good a chance to become Pope as an
italian has to become President OF
the United States.

BECKER MURDERER
 DIES FOR CRIME
Protests Innocence Just Before
 EleCtrOCutiOn

Ossining, N. Y, April 1S.-Reuben Norkin was electrocuted in Sing Sing prison last night for assisting AtA'a- ham Becker in the murder of Beck CTS wife, whose body was found near Norkin's Bronx welding shop on No- vember 29, 1922. Becker was put to death on December 1s, last.
 Norkin last night walked to the electric chair on the eleventh anni- versary of his sons birth.
 Norkin was convicted after police obtained a signed statement from him that he had acted as lookout for Becker while the latter knocked his wife unconscious and then buried her alive in lime pit on April 7. Later Becker had placed his four children in an orphan asylum and told neigh bors and friends that his wife had de- serted him.
 Norkin insisted that he was in nocent of the crime up until a mo- ment before he was put to death. He walked to the chair quietly and as the guards were about to strap him in he said:
 "Id like to announce that you all are witnessing an innocent man being put to death. My only crime was in keeping a secret"
