3,500,000 CHILDREN
FACING STARVATION
Vast Relief Effort Launched by
Eight Leading American Organ*
izations to Avert Tragedy.
The most spontaneous ns well ns the
largest consolidation of effort In the
litslory of American relief and charita
ble organizations has grown out of the
disaster which threatens 8,000,000
'European children this winter. To the
{headquarters of every agency that dis
penses American mercy overseas has
come one steady cry for months past;
the children, most helpless and blame-
'less sufferers In the truck of-war, will
perish by the thousands before next
harvest unless America saves them I
When Dr. IJvIngston Farrnnd, chair
man of the Central Committee of the
American Red Cross, returnod from s
recent trip abroad. Ills report throbbed
with the need of the children. From
the feedlng-stntlons of the American
Belief Administration throughout east
ern snd central Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort. The Pro
testant churches sent Investigators
into sfter-wnr conditions and every
report breathed the Impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children.
Protestant, Catholic ,and Jewish, the
child life of Europe Is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
^Herbert Hoover ns chairman and the
'whole power of American chnrltable
thought and effort behind It, hns been
formed. Tt consists of Edgar Rick
ard, representing the American Relief
^Administration; Dr, Livingston Far-
rand, 'representing the American Red
Cross: Felix Warburg,, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Comnjlt-
tee; Wilbur K. Thomas, representing
f ; the American Friends’ Service Com-
.mlllee; James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights of Columbus; Dr v C.
•V. Hibbard, representing the Voting
Wen’s Christian . Association ;< Miss
• Sarah S. Lynn] ^presenting the Young
Women’s Christian Association; Dr.
Arthur Rrown. representing the- Fed
eral Council of Churches.
It is the purpose of the Council to
raise $88,000,000, In an upponl center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the stlmitlon regarding child
life may he met. In every town and
community of the nnflnn, It Is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
co-operating agencies will lie formed
to secure the vitally neeessnry hinds.
Of the amount nought, $'.28,000,Olid will
be uaed for basic fund. For every one
of ilirso American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, In t'lie form 1
of transportation, labor, guards, cleri
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies ns lire locally obtainable.
No children receive the free food ex
cept after medical tests showing them
to he seriously uuder-ppurlshed. The
renmlolng $10,out),000 of the fund Is
Just as urgently needed for mcdjcnl
service lo the children.
The Burnpenn Relief Council will do
much more Ilian, effect economise'In'
the raising of the chlldsuvlng fund.
It will, with the Inspecting forces of-
'eight gveni agciude", keep a constant
joye on Hie administration of America’s
.merciful gift. In order that there shall
{lie no wastage slid u< tendency toward
pauperization.
PLIGHT OF EUROPE’S
CHILDREN STAGGERS
3,500,000 Facing Starvation Can
Only Be Saved by America’s
< Response to Joint Appeal.
It Is utterly Impossible for one who
has not actually seen the-misery of
the early Autumn In Europe to visual
ize what the children of the Eastern
and Central portions of thi continent
face this winter. To say that 8,500,000
chlldrea have do alternative to starva
tion or death from disease except
American aid, Ip startling, but Independ
ent observers by the score and care
ful scientific surveys of the economic
and crop conditions overseas brand
the figure as conservative.
Id Poland, for Instance, where 1,808,-
000 youngsters last year subsisted al
most entirely ou the one free Ameri
can meal a day that they received, con
ditions as winter closes down, are
worse then ever before. The Bolshe
vik Invasion stripped large p irtlons of
the country of all grain. Professor
B. D. Durand, Food Advisor to the
Polish government, after an exhaustive
survey, has reported that ooly forty
per cent Is available of the food neces
sary to carry the population through
the winter.
In the city of Vienna tests conducted
In the American Relief Administration
food kitchens showed that 62 per cent
of the children between the ages of 6
and 14 were “seriously under-nourish
ed." Thirty-three per cent were mark
edly nnder-nourished, 11 per cent were
■lightly subnormal sad only 4 per cent
approached the state of a normal
American child. The Amerl -aa Relief
Administration la feeding 900,000
Austrian children every day now, and
there Is no chance of dlmunltlon of
need before nex harveit.
The spectacle of the medical nends
of Europe's chlldron Is equally ap
palling. Estimates reaching the Amer
ican Red Cross -s to needs for medical
service In the destitute areas this win
ter Include: Old Avstrla-Hingary, 760,-
OOO; new Poland, 1,500,1^0; Czecho
slovakia, 200,000; Serbia, 160,000, nnd
Ronmanlo, 100,000. In the 8 si’a I year
of 1010-20 the Red Cross has reached
with the vi rltnble gift of life 1,600,000
children In the affected .wens. Tuber
culosis Is prevalent lo a terrlfllc degree.
Five children out of seven In the city
of Warsaw, for Instance, P.nve been
found to bo tubercular. Typhus Is
widespread ; rickets, the right hand of
Under-im'urlshn.ent Is ulimii,* universal,
and cholera lifts.Its grim bend con-
Htnmly In or.e place nnd unother.

Oldtime Sleeping Couchee.
The ancients slept on skins, but
later beds were made of rushes,
heather and straw. The Romans were
the first to tise feathers to make their
beds more comfortable. Uellognbalus,
218 B. C„ Is credited with having em
ployed plr cushions, and air beds were
used generally In the Sixteenth cen
tury.
Country Adapted to Wild Animals.
There are large, areas In Siberia
admirably fitted for the development
of fur-bearing animals. Immeasura
ble forests, Inaccessible mountains,
and sparse population provide the ani
mals with (he best conditions tor prop
agation, The most favorable local
ity, a kind of nntural zoological park,
Is the Prlamur region. *

The features of this girl portray tne
finest type of Polish childhood that
now lies engulfed In hunger and dis
ease and all their attendant miseries.
Relief already administered by Amer
ica has preserved her beauty and
freshness, albeit her eyes betray the
suffering she has seen, but literally
millions In her own and adjacent coun
tries still have no oue to look to bat
America as another winter of horror
closes In upon them. To the end that
their prayer may not go uuanswered
eight leading American relief organiza
tions have banded together In a Joint
appeal In behalf of Europe’s suffering
children. They nre the American Re
lief Administration, the American Red
Cross, the American Friends' Relief
Committee (Quakers), the Jewish Jolut
Distribution Committee, the Federal
Churelies of Christ In America, the
Knights of Columbus, the T. 11. C.
and the V. W. C. A.
Before this five-year-old Vlennn girl
was operated upon In the'American
Convalescent Home her leg was even
more horribly deformed from rickets
and she was in constant Instead of In
termittent pain. Now at least her leg
is straight again, aud by degrees she Is
relearning lo wait. Rickets Is the
aftermath of utjtler-nutrltlon, and It Is
to cut down the harrowing prevalence
of such disease as this among the chil
dren of Europe that eight American re
lief organizations are making a joint
appeal under the name of the European
Relief Council for funds to succor the
millions that fare a winter of horror.
They are,ilie America Relief Adminis
tration, the American Red Cross, the
Aim;.-lean Frltnds’ Servlc, Committee
(Quakers), the Jewish Joint Distribu
tion committee, the Federal Council of
