Bishop Muelsen spoue In behalf of the
relief work for women and children in
Germany and Austria and his address is
here published in part at the request of
the Portland committee in charge of this
work.
Relief for the children of central Burope
has been indorsed by the Red Cross, Her

cies which are planning a great campaign
tor such relief on the continent. '"The Red
Cross Is not disposed to discourage such
efTtr. as this." nay a d'.AptcKh from

the sooner relief hi provided the better,
as three and ono-half million children,
xnostly In central Europe, are without

conditions so horrible that no Una is
drawn."
BT BISHOP JOHN I. MUELSEN'.
I AM not here this evening to dis
cuss the oauses of the war, or to
talk about politics, but I am here
to give to you a description of the
actual conditions in Europe today, and
in Germany and Austria in particular.
There la not a child in all Burope,
from north to south, from east to
west, that has not suffered from the
ravages of thisterrible war.
In all Europe there is not one child
out of one thousand that is normal.
The war was practically at an end
two years ago, insofar that no shots
were fired any more, but as far as
Germany was concerned the war was
going on by means of the blockade,
and of course it hit the innocents, the
women and children. More than 700,
000 women and children fell after No
vember 11, 1918, as victims of the
blockade.
When an American child come!"
home from school he remarks: "I
am so hungry." That, my friends, is
not hunger; that is a good appetite.
But those children of Burope' get up
hungry and go to sleep hungry, to
day, tomorrow, this week, next week,
this month, next month, and month
atter month. Even now in Germany
the children are not allowed any more
milk after they have reached their
second year. In other words, milk is
still a luxury. The older people re
ceive a so-called foddee, a brown
broth, made of turnips, cut in pieces,
roasted and ground and boiled. This
combination is black and exceedingly
bitter, to be drunk without milk or
sugar. The bread is of a grayish
black color, mixed with about 60 per
cent of dried vegetables and straw.
In Austria the color is yellowish be
cause of the sawdust added to it. Both
kind-s of so-called bread are very
heavy and cause quite a variety of
stomach and bowel diseases.
For breakfast the great majority of
the people of Germany and Austria
receive a cup of coffee, with no milk
or sugar, end sometimes a slice of
this so-called bread. For the noon
meal there is in most cases nothing
to be had at all. and for supper there
is a plate of soup made of turnips and
cabbage, simply boiled in water with
out the addition of any fat. There
are hardly any normal children in
Germany or Austria, Almost every
child is retarded in growth bytwo
three years. Girls of 15 do not weigh
more than 50 pounds, boys not more
than 35 pounds. Tuberculosis and
bronchial troubles are increasing at
a terrific rate. In former years tu
berculosis became dangerous between
the ages of 15 and 24. Today children
of the ages of 6 and 7 are falling vic
tims of the dreaded disease.
No Dogs or Cats Seen.
One day I took a walk into the
"vVilmar forest, a famous reeort near
Vienna. There I saw an army of
children of all ages gathering wood.
The day was cold, with snow and
slush, and mud covered the ground,
the little children being wet all
through. "When I asked them when
they had left In the morning, what
they had eaten for breakfast and
"when they would arrive . at home
they 'answered that they had left
home at 8, some at 9 o'clock in the
morning, and that their breakfast had
consisted of a cup of this famous
"coffee" with two slices of bread;
that for the noon meal they were
not receiving anything, and that for
supper they would have vegetable
oup.
Switzerland and Italy have suffered
much from the ravages of the war.
Although Italy and Austria were
enemies for centuries, these Italians
have taken into their country thou
sands and thousands of these poor
children. Switzerland, by means of
private and public charity, in one
year has been host to 42,000 children
that could remain during a period of
eix weeks. My wife and myself took
one of these little brats, undersized
and poorly. One d'ay our servant girl
asked the little stranger in what
manner that she had arrived at the
home of the Mrs. Bishop, whereupon
she answered: "Because I was the
most beautiful."
One day we walked along' the
' street with a gentleman who had just
arrived from Switzerland for th, first
time since the war. "We paesed ,a
butcher shop. The gentleman stopped,
remarking: "Please wait a minute.
Do yon see these sausages, this ham,
this bacon, this meat?" For years
he had not ceen such a sight. When
we passed a grocery store the same
scene was re-enacted. In Germany
the butcher shops have been empty
for most of the time during the war.
the little meat coming in disappear
ing as fast as it arrives. The win
tlows of the grocery store were deco
rated with empty paper boxes.
In May, 1919. two English ladies,
members of the denomination of the
Quakers, came to see me in Zuench
They just had received a permit from
the English government to import
foodstuffs Into Germany, but this had
to be kept secret. As soon as they
. had left I went to the elegraph. of
fice, cabling this fact to America
Immediately American Methodists
got busy at Washington, and inside
of a week I had in my possession
J15.00-0 for German and Austrian re
lief. The government at Berne,
Switzerland, gave us permission to
export foodstuffs from Switzerland
into Germany and Austria, thus
America again was first, and in par
ticular American Methodism, to ex
tend first horp to stricken Germany.
There Is a lack of nearly every
thing. I went to hospitals and or-
r.hanaees where in many of them
there was not enough linen for the
babies, so that the sister in charge
Hesitated to let me see actual condi
tions. Newly born babies were being
wrapped in newspapers. Thousands
of children are unable to attend
.hool. because they are without
elo-thes.
Hundreds of thousands of thou
sands are too sick. Undernurishment
Js the cause of bronchial troubles,
the children have swollen stomachs,
largely oversized heads and extremely
thin arms and legs. Tuberculosis
takes away Its victims by the thou
sands. Through the weakened condi
tion of these children there is not
enough vitality to overcome the
slightest colds. There is not only
tuberculosis of the lungs, but of the
bones. Because of the lack of fats
and soap and the absence of the most
ordinary sanitation, bodies, clothes
and dwellings could not be kept clean

ot a one budged. , He repeated the
request several times, nobody leaving.
At last he opened the door, saying
Leave at once." When the children
arrived on the playground most of
them leaned against the building,
only a few attempting to play. Some
time ago I gave a piece of chocolate
to a little j girl 8 years old. She
turned it around in her hands, look
ing at it from all sides and asking
what it was. Upon being told that it
was chocolater, she replied, "Oh, this
is what they had before the war."
Some other time as I was visiting
a minister he remarked to me, "The
worst trial for us is our children.
Sometimes in the. evening my wife
comes to my room crying and saying,
You go out to the children, I can't
stand it any longer.' " The two little
girls of this minister, aged 6 and 8
years respectively, were in their beds.
Upon the question of the minister as
to the cause of their distress, they
answered, "We are so hungry that
we cannot sleep." Then their father
told them a funny story, thereby
making them forget their hunger. Is
this not heart-breaking? When I
met an American lady in Vienna, she
remarked to me that the conditions
were not as bad. as she failed to see
dead babies lying around on the
streets. Well, these babies probably
died in their beds.
I do not ask whether the recipients
of American philanthropy are Evan
gelical or Catholic or Jewish, or
whether their parents are atheists.
The Good Samaritan did not ask as
to the religious classification of the
man that fell among the thieves. I
intend to form children's Institutions
In the most fertile parts of Germany,
Austria and Hungary. I intend to buy
big domains, or large farms, that
should become self-sustaining, where
we can take these starving babies
and needy children for two months
at a time, no matter what their con
fession, Protestant or Catholic or
Jewish, or no confession at all. Every
two months we will take a new batch
of these starving children, rotating,
and next year we will take them over
again. We must help as much as
possible, and we must help speedily.
"Inasmuch as ye did it to one of the
least of these, ye did It unto me."

TAOOMA, Wash., Nov. 13. (Spe

healing power as well. Where medi
cine and doctors failed, music has
succeeded as a cure, or at least a
partial cure, for heart disease. Mrs.
F. E. Williard, who for several years
has been subject to attacks) from
heart failure, fell 114 and for days
she was delirious.. In her dreams
she saw a violinist and incessantly
called for Mm. She wanted him to
come and play for her.
As each day passed she grew worse.
Attending physicians held a consul
tation, and thought she was afflicted
with sleeping sickness, as sur-h
symptoms had been noted in other
cases of that malady.
Mrs. F. F. Rust of Portland, rushed
to her daughter's bedside and found
her condition critical. She decided
to get a violin player. Sterling
O'Day, who lived just a few houses
away, went to the house and played
to Mrs. Will'iard. As he played she
sang in a beautiful rich voice. Ex
cept for the strains of the violin
and Mrs. Wllliard's singing, the
home was in absolute silence. In
fact, everyone was mystified.

Williard recovered from the spell of
delirium. Although still confined to
her home, she lauds O'Day and the
violin music for bringing her out
of the "trance."

tion to an arm of national defense.
Under this plan, it is explained
that the government Is depending
upon Oregon and other states to re
cruit Its national guard forces to a
much greater strength than has ever
before been required and to do this,
men interested In business and indus
trial enterprises of the city, must
be ready to co-operate with the offi
cers. It was the belief of the officers
of the regiment that this co-operation
could be gained without difficulty if
the business men, labor leaders, news
paper editors and men engaged in in
dustrial pursuits understand' thor
oughly the plan for the reorganized
national guard.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful of Salts

We are a nation of meat eaters
and our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well-known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
against kidney trouble. -
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork:
they get sluggish: the eliminatlve
tissues clog and thus the waste is
retained in the blood to poison the
entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like lumps of lead, and you have
stinging pains in the back or th.
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder ia irritable, obliging you
to seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, nervous
and dizzy spells, sleeplessness, acid
stomach or rheumatism in bad wea
ther, get from .your pharmacist about
four ounces of Jad Salts; take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water be
fore breakfast each morning and in
a few days your kidneys will act fine.
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, Com
bined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimu
late clogiged kidneys, to neutralize
the acids in urine so It is no longer
a source of irritation, thus ending
urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes a delightful efferves
cent lithla-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys
clean and active. Adv.
