NEAR EAST RELIEF STARTS
MOVEMENT AMONG YOUTH

NEW YORK, March 10.-A youth
movement" in which American ideals
of service and international good
will are emphasized, is being pro-
noted in the near east, says Charles
" Vickson, general secretary of the
near east relief, in report to his
board of trustees.
Nearly 100000 orphans fave been
rescued and restored to normal Life,
or now are in the orphanages of the
near east, he says, and this army of
young people is being organized into
Service leagues" on the general
principles of the American Rotary
clubs and other similar associations.
This is being done to further the
ideals of peace in the belief that
these boys and girls will furnish the
leaders of the coming generation
and bring about a new and better
civilization in their land.
In connection with efforts to count
eract so-called disorganizing influ-
ences, the secretary says that all the
major allied powers, with the excep-
ton of the United States, were oc-
cupied in materially increasing arm
aments and military forces in the
near east"during 1925.
The relief organization spent $4,-
219,0 900 in it's work last year and be.
cause contributions amounted to $4,-
752, 600 was able to eliminate a de-
ficit of $29S,0O0 and have small
balance for 1926.

resentatives of the interscholastic
Athletic Union to work out rules
for further protection against college
