Vital, States Deems
San Francisco, Jan. J4.- The church
must join hands with the labor move
ment or fail in its mission. Rev. C. H.
Deems, chaplain of the .Seamen's insti
tute mission, told the convention of the
House of Churchwomen here Wednes
day. Rev. Deems declared that our
national expression, "makes the world
safe for democracy." really means to
make the world safe for the people of
which working people are in the ma
jority. "This world will be colored after the
war, by ideals which the laboring masses
have tolled for," Rev. Deems said, "ana
the church is doomed to failure unless
it finds a place with them."

VALUE OF RESPONSE

OF BELGIUM IS TOLD
Former Minister Brand WJiitlock
to Relate "The -Truth' About
Belgium in Sunday Journal.
Intensity of the" work of the wood
cutting campaign has elicited the at
tention of the United States fuel ad
ministration. Adminlstraor Fred J
Holmes of Portland is in receipt of the
following suggestions :
"Is any wood being wasted in the
larger cities or towns of your state
where real estate operators are putting
new sub-divisions on the market? Fre
quently these areas are heavily timbered
and this timber is absolutely wasted
when grading is done and streets opened.
Occasionally, large tracts on the out
skirts of the city are held either indi
vidually or by corporations for sub
divisions later on. These tracts contain
much fallen timber that snould be saved,
and the owners in many cases would be
willing to have judicious cutting done
under proper direction.
"See that all slab wood slabs and other
refuse from the sawmills situated near
your towns and villages are made use
of and not wastefully burned, as is so
frequently done.
"Call attention Of the street and parks
department of all cities to the need of
saving wood. Get them to practice for
estry intensively ; remove and cut up
all old trees, and in cases of damage
to trees by storms, urge them to sal
vage everything possible."
The administration is in receipt of a
letter from the federal farm loan com
missioner, authorizing the use of the
federal loan banks and the farm loan
association in the prosecution of this
wood cutting campaign.
Refuse from the mills in Portland is
being disposed of so far as possible and
there Is an abundance of wood of this
kind, it Is said.
Among the earliest calls for relief that
reached the ears of generous America
came from stricken Belgium, where
civilian population was in dire straits
So rapidly was little Belgium over'
whelmed and so swift was retribution
exacted by a merciless Invader that mil
lions of men, women and children were
left destitute. . Their homes destroyed,
their means of livelihood gone, the help
less plight of these offenseless folk made
a universal appeal to the generosity of
mankind.
Money and materials for their relief
came from the far corners of the earth,
but it fell to the lot of the Americans to
rally their characteristic ability for or
ganization to directly administer to the
Belgians needs.
Then, too, at that time the United
States occupied the position of a' neutral
and was In a position to render a service
not allowed by the Invader to any of Its
enemies in arms.
Accordingly, the work of the American
Commission for Belgian Relief, as dl-
Yeomanettes Must :

San Franclsocv Jan."t4J None of the
rigors of the navy physical examination
baa been dispensed with to please the
pretty girls answering the navy's call
for yeomanettea. At the navy recruit
lnr office Wednesday this was made en
tirely clear to all applicants. The army
surgeons require the yeomanettea to pass
the same sort or examination as ao tne
men. They must weigh at least 121
rounds, and a chest expansion of Itt
inches is necessary. - Records of nature
and location of all vaccination scars
and other marks are also taken.
TntA tv Herbert Hoover now federal
food administrator, is one of the finest
examples of organised humanltarianUra
in history.
Hoover's workers had aone too easy a
time In Belgium, for, although their pres
ence was allowed by the oermana, tney
were so hedged about by Irksome re
strictions that the greatest tact and
na.tlenca were reauired that the end
mtfht be accomplished. ' 'T
As United States minister to Belgium,'
Brand Whitlock had much to do with
this relief work and In his Story, "The
Truth About Belgium," to be published
serially In The Sunday Journal, begin
ning Sunday, February IT, he will Telate
the value of America's liberal response
to destitute Belgium's plea.
