Weakness Prevents
EurOpe's Self-Help

Food shortages in Europe work
against the effort of the people to
rehabilitate themselves, according to
advices from the National War Fund
to the Hamilton and Butler County
Community Fund.
Representative of member agencies
of the National War Fund in Europe
report that in many liberated areas
the number of calories for the aver
age person is about half of that nor

entary occupation. Thus, the reports
state, even though the people are will
ing and anxious to turn to the stern
task of rebuilding their homes their
energies are not sufficient for real
productive effort.
Effects of food shortages are par

Red Cross Prepares
For Peace Problems
On Labor Day 1915

Washington, d. C.-Labor Day 1916
finds the American Red Cross making
plans for readjusted services to aid in
the national and international prob
lens of civilian life. Blood donations
for civilians will take the place of the
Blood Donor Service for the wounded
overseas. Industrial first aid will be
emphasized and disaster relief will
continue to be given when catastro-
phes occur periodically throughout the
country.
In a statement sent to the labor
press for release in Labor Day edi-
tions, Chairman Basil O'Connor pledg-
ed the increased efforts of this hu-
manitarian organization in the years
of reconstruction ahead.
CONSCIOUS of our responsibility to
help solve the problems of occupation,
demobilization and readjustment," he
sair, 1--WE are determined that insofar
as Red Cross service will permit,
there shall be no forgotten man.
"Never before have reconstruction
and rehabilitation offered such a
challenge or such complex problem
AS we enter our peacetime program
it is in no sense with sigh of re-
lief that means return to the ia
miliar. The old shoe won't fit.
"The enlarged program Of the flu
ture will include the manifold prob
lens that will arise in connection with
servicemen and their families in re-
gard to the Interpretation of Gov
ernment regulations and legislation af-
fecting them. Questions about family
allowances, claims. for pensions and
I assistance of various kinds are bound
to need clarifying, and every chapter
Of the Red Cross is preparing to do
it's utmost to help.
"In the days of war, at last ended
all branches of labor have supported
the American Red Cross. Blood, money
time, energy and skill have been forth
coming in response to repeated ap-
peals. Today, on labor's national holi-
day, so we'll earned, we look forward
to an era Of continued cooperation"

tion. It is more frequent that one sees
children sitting listlessly before their
wrecked homes.
Many new dishes have been devised
by the people of the liberated areas
in their efforts to maintain a table
which satisfies. The principal ingred-
tents Of these dishes are usually cauli-
flower, potatoes and sometimes spin
ach. Boiled cauliflower and potatoes
mashed together with spinach are apt
to be frequent dishes. Bread, when
available, is Of sub-normal food value
content.
Member agencies of the National
War Fund seek to aid in offsetting
malnutrition by providing vitamin
products, dried milk and other items
designed to rebuild energies.

STUDENTS BOW TO CENSORSHIP
TO KEEP COLLEGE PAPER
AFTER RACE EDITORIAL

WILLIAMSBURG, Va, Feb. 21
(ANP)-The student body of Will
liam and Mary college agreed to ac-
cept censorship Of their student
weekly, the Flat Hat, after the Off
cial dismissal of Miss Marilyn Kam-
merle, the 22-year-old editor, who
wrote an editorial on Negro-white
future race relations in America.
The 34-year-old student weekly
was saved by a dramatic about
face of the student body who voted
to sacrifice the basic American
ideals of the freedom of the press
and freedom of expression in order
that the paper would resume publ
cation. Previously the students had
voiced their approval of the editor
Here is the text of Miss Kam-
merle's Lincoln-day editorial that
was described as "a shot heard

this country. Today we find the Ne
gro as released from farm bondage,
but not equalized.

groes differ from other peoples

herently all are the same. The Ne

chaos such as the Southern states
experienced during the reconstruc-
ton would result if such a plan were
initiated before both Negroes and
others were educated for it.
Through education we learn of
the spread of early man to all cor
ners of the globe. Those who settled
nearer the equator, whether in
Europe, Asia or in the Americas,
developed a darker skin than those
who settled north Of them. Peoples
hair often remains the same over
great areas. Europeans remained
white hairy, but body hair almost
disappeared in some parts of the
world. Blue eyes appear in the
North, and in Asia a fold Of skin
developed over the corner of the
eye, forming a slant eye.
"There is little difference in
height or head shapes. Whites, Ne
groes, Mongols and all races have
the same four blood types. Tests
show that Negroes in this country
made lower score than whites on
intelligence tests. They also showed
that Northerners, black and white,
had higher scores than Southern
ers, black and white, and that
Northern Negroes had h g h e r
scores than Southern whites. Their
difference did not occur because
people were from the North or
from the South, or because they
were white or black, but because of
difference in income, education,
cultural advantages and other op-
portunities. Equal opportunities,
therefore, must be offered to all
peoples in all sections of the coun-
try.
