AMERICANIZATION
IS BIGGEST WORK,
SAYS DR. VARNER
Y. W. C. A. War Worker Tells
Her Impression After a Year's
Expedience in Europe
"The i biggest ' work " before the
American people today is the Ameri
canization of the foreigners who
come to this country," declared Dr.
Estella Fod ' Warner, ,Y. - W. ' C. A.
war worker who has just returned
from a year's overseas service which
has taken ' her to ' England, " France
and Russia,! r "i'-i : v"- Ci
"In my travels and in my?work X was
tremendoualy Impressed, with the neces
sity v of every erteariinglntormed
on the principles of Americanism, why
America stands for democracy and what
she does that represents- democracy. We
Americans overseas were , not looked
upon as individuals, but rather -as rep
resentatives of that, -wonder-country
about which ;the Europeans know so
little but dream so much. Americaniza
tion is the great work that lies before
us today." , '"K:: t;"
Dr. Warner, who Is the daughter of
Mrs. E. G. Ford, had just completed her
medical course and a course as nurse's
aid in Good Samaritan, hospital before
embarking for Europe under T. W- C
A. auspices.
Dr. Warner went overseas . Immedi
ately after .the death of her husband.
Dr. Douglas H. Warner, who died of
the flu a year ago while attached to
the . navy at Bremerton.
So successful has she been -that the
association is retaining her services. She
will tour the entire Pacific coast, be
ginning. January t, for the department
of social hygiene of the association- and
on completion of that work she will
again go to Europe, her objective being
Constantinople, where she will again do
work among the refugees.

"Russia, suffocated, crazed, starving
Russia, where I sient mv . last three
months, gave me alternate thrills of
joy. and pangs of anguish; joy in be
ing of service and anguish because of
the things that we could not do on acH
count of lack of food.
"Archangel we arrived in June was
lovely and green. It has electric lights,
streetcars, a telephone system and good
looking houses, all of which was con
siderable of a surprise to us. We found
Its population considerably swelled by
thousands . of girls who. had -come up
there, for the vacations; and, because
or CBS uprisings, were unable to get back
Be.V;They could hear nothing- from
their-relatives, they were without funds
also, and their grief was heart break
ing. ; We provided places for these girls
to stay and as soon as the allied troops
arrived many of them were (Riven em
ployment In the government offices,
where they were paid partly In money
and partly in rations. We did not re
alize just what we had meant to these
girls until we left, and a more tearful
lot I never saw.
."Food was, and of course still is, the
great problem. The natives had no
sugar. : They bad a quarter of a pound
of butter- a week and it is half fish oil ;
one loaf of black bread weighing a
pound and a half every three days; a
pint -of sour milk on alternate days, one
pound of meat every two weeks provid
ing, one has the money to buy It, but
prices were almost, prohibitive. Fish was
plentiful and these the people caught in
large niunbers. , There were milk ata-
lotions for babies, but the milk was most
ly water and many children live largely I
out with, sheer delight when

bread. Even the babies have gray skin
and it is just literally drawn over tbe
bones. The infant mortality In Russia
exceeds even that of India, - v

"We were not . in soviet Russia, but
were at - all times - back of the allied
lines, but we ' saw enough and,, heard
enough Of the outrages- at the hands
of the Bo'.shevlki to terrify us. There
were practically no young men or boys
left.-they had either been taken prison
ers or killed. Both women and Children
had been outraged unspeakably, and ac
cording to reports the Bolshevik! took
especial delight in abusing young chil
dren In the , presence of their mothers.
"The great hope Was that" toe; allies
would not withdraw, but when they did
finally ge they left the natives supplied
with provisions and ammunition and "I
happen to know that many of the girls
whom we had sheltered and cared for.

with poison with which they proposed to
