DESIRE FOR SECURITY

Democracy every Precious" Nor
man Thomas Asserts in De-
nying Quotation.

uy1nS duOtdtlOn.
by the Associated Press
CHICAGO, March 20-Norman
Thomas denied today that he had
said, Security cannot be found in
democracy"
In reporting the final session Of
the Woman's Congress in Chicago
last week the Associated Press, on
March IL, quoted the Socialist leader
as having said the night before: The
price of peace is security, and security
cannot be found in democracy"
Il discussed the overwhelming de-
sire Of men and nations for security"
Thomas said today. Il said that the
danger of wars arose out of mems
desire for security. l said that security
could not be got simply by shouting
slogans like democracy, and that I
did not believe that democratic nations
automatically would rally to collective
security, a phrase which means war.
not peace.
But I did say that I thought
democracy was very precious and that
properly understood and applied in
the economic field it was the basis
of peace and security"

 quarters.

An announcement of the part the American Red Gross will play and a brief resume of the work which has already been done in regard to aiding both factions in the present Spanish war has been received by Mrs. Edith Ladd at local Red Gross headquarters. Mrs. Ladd said today that the local chapter does not for ward any sums of money directly to national but. that the; amounts are taken from the national reserve fund, to which each chapter .n the United States contributes.
 The letter received from Admiral Cary Grayson, chairman of the ila- tional executive committee, states that $57,000 was sent by the Ameri- can Red Cross, acting as branch of the International Red Cross, dur ing the fiscal year which, ended June 30. This amount was doled out as follows: for the aid of Basque refugee children, $5,c00: for Ameri- cans who were in Spain and in dire need of help, $26,000; assistance in regard to surgical and medical sup- plies for both factions, $26,000. In some cases the money was also used for purchase of food for the starv- ing victims.
 In the future, it was announced by the national chairman, sum of $2,500 will be given each month to the International committee en- gagged in providing for the needy and suffering persons on both sides.

Local Branch of Child Feeding Mission Obtains $442.50 in Contribu-
 tions.
Appeals yesterday by the Water-

APPSaAo JC9VSAA0J " VA'S ''SsSe bury Branch of the Spanish Child Feeding Mission resulted in sub- stantial increase in the amount of donations. The total today was re- ported by Stuart Judd, treasurer, as $442.50, as compared with yes- terday's total of $Ss5.
 High commendation is due the workers of this mission, which is operating for NON-POLITICAL,
 NON-SECTARIAN relief among the Spanish needy, and 1t has been computed that there are more than 100000 refugees in Loyalist terri tory alone. It is also estimated that there are 116,000 children un- der IA years of age in Madrid, where extreme suffering and food shortage exists.
 The purpose of this mission is to raise funds for the general dissern- nation of relief to all Spain's needy. Miss Elizabeth Wade White, is chairman of the movement in this city and is aided by Mrs. Goodrich Smith, Miss Marjorie Farley, Mrs. Roger S. Sperry and Attorney Chase Kimball. The movement is spon- sored by Dr. John N. Lewis, pr. James E. Gregg, William M. Harris, Dr. John s. Dye and John M. Bur- rall.

Camp Runs On Timetable

This plan depends upon two things: whether the Home Office will permit more refugees to come and whether the necessary money can be obtained.
 Now that the children here have settled in, regular camp routine has been established. They all get up, wash themselves and tidy their tents at 6 a. m. There is medical inspection at and, so far, the camp has been comparatively free from disease. Breakfast is at S:3O. There are school classes from 10 to li:30. There is physical training from il:4S to l2:30. Dinner is servde at l:30 and the children are given all they can eat-mcat, potatoes, rice, green vegetables and heaps of bread and crackers.
 The afternoon is left pretty much to their own devices. They have supper at ! and are supposed to be in bed at 9.
 "Supposed' IS used advisedly. Be- cause this camp is no longer Eng land. It is . little bit of Spain transplanted here. And. no true Spaniard, big or little. thinks of going to sleep as early as g p. m. Wherefore 1t is really long after that hour before complete silence reigns in this village of Bilbao-in- Tents.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics: Some of the residents of Willow street were having friendly chat when the trolley accident of the early part of February, 1884, became the topic of conversation. If you will glance over your copies covering the above date you will recall that the hero of the day was none other than the courteous accommodating and gentleman at all times the veteran motorman, "Thomas Sullivan" He stuck to his post and did not consider his own lie for one second after the accident his passengers were constantly his mind, 1t miracle that not one death occurred From reports we understand, that Mr. Sullivan after thirty years of service is now unemployed because the C. R. & L. has taken over the company It seems rather un.human that yesterdays hero should be forgotten today - Willow Street Residents

"Lyceum". Too, Cares for Welfare

Another large tent was designat. ed as a religious chapel. Still an- other, thanks to the generosity of a rich owner of movie houses, was turned into a movie and here every afternoon and night some 300 Basque children sec the kind of pictures they were familiar with even in their home town-an!mat- cd cartoons and travelogues.
 Tents were also fixed up as bath ing places for the children. Tn still others doctors are now in constant attendance in case of accident or disease. And, finally, there Is one distant tent for delousing children who may still be verminous despite all the care taken while they were enroute on the sea. The nurses have given 1t a more polite name. They call it the "Lyceum."
 From the standpoint of the chil- dren, outside of the movie tent, the two most interesting places are the big fenced-in stockade where Q bunch of cooks are busy all day long over huge gettles, preparing the food for 2500 hungry mouths, and the canteen where those. with

 As it originally landed at South. ampton, the refugee band consisted of 4000 children, ranging in age from 5 to IS. Accompanying them were 100 Basque teachers and 100 other young women, acting as auxil- iaries. There were also IS Catholic priests. At present, there are only 2500 children in this camp, the oth- CTS having been transferred else- where. Ultimately 1t is hoped to scatter the rest in parties of from 30 to 100 all over Great Britain, houseing them in country man. sions, schools, etc. In case the camp is thus emptied. it is quite possible that 1t will be maintained
