European children this winter. To the
fceatlquinrri of every agency that dls
pfi;so American merry overseas has
come on? stoa-ly cry for months past:
the children, most helpless and blame
less sufferers in the track of war. will
perish hy the thousands before next
harvest miles America saves them!
W hen Or. Uvttifston Farrand. chair,
man of the Ontral Committee of the
American Red Cross, returned from a
recent trip abroad, his report throbbed
wit), the need of the children. From
the feeding-stations of the American
Relief Administration throughout east
ern and centra! Europe came letters,
cables, pleas of every sort. The Pro
testant churches sent Investigators
Into after-war conditions and every
report breathed tie impending tragedy
of starving and diseased children
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, the
cbiid life of Europe Is threatened with
heartrending misery.
The European Relief Council, with
Herbert Hoover as chairman and the
whole power of American charitable
thought and effort behind It, tins been
formed. It consists of Edgar Rich
ard, representing the American lieiief
Administration; Dr. Livingston Far
rand. representing the American Red
Cross; Felix Warburg, representing
the Jewish Joint Distribution Commit
tee: Wilbur K. Thomas, representing
the American Friends' Service Com
mittee: James A. Flaherty, represent
ing the Knights of Columbus; Dr. C.
V. Hibbard, representing the Young
Men's Christian Association Miss
Sarah S. Lyon, representing the Voting
Women's Christian Association ; Dr.
Arthur Brown, representing the Fed
eral Council of Churches.
It Is the purpose of the Council tn
raise $.'1,000,000. in an appeal center
ing at the Christmas holidays, to the
end that the situation regarding child
life may be met. In every town and
community of the nation, It is hoped,
local committees, representing all the
co-operating agencies will be formed
to secure the vitally necessary funds.
Of the amount sought, $23,000,000 will
be used for basic food. For every one
of these American dollars the local
governments and communities aided
will furnish two dollars, In the form
of transportation, labor, guards, cleri
cal help, cash contributions and such
food supplies as are locally obtainable.
No children recelve'the free food ex
cept after medical tests showing them
to be seriously under-nourished. The
remaining $10,000,000 of the fund Is
Just as urgently needed for medical
service to the children.
The European Relief Council will do
much more than effect economies In
the raising of the chlldsaving fund.
It will, with the inspecting forces of
eight great agencie", keep a constant
eye on the administration of America's
merciful gift, in order that there shall
be no wastage and nr tendency toward
pauperization.

o-ie purpose of doing away with igrnor- j
arue in the United States and laying!
the foundation of an educational sys-1
tern so broad and so deep that such a i
condition as at present exists could
never return. Yet because the powers
of the federal government In this re
spect are confined to the District of
Columbia and the territories, it is be
lieved by many of the national legis
lators that such adepartment would
he too great a piece of machinery for
the task. H is more likely that the
scope of the bureau of education, now
in the Interior Peparement will be
enlarged so as to further spread the
gospel of the need of education.

BLUE LAW FOE SUNDAY

It Puritan Revival.
"Washington, D. C, Dec. 15. Clamor
for the enactment of a national "blue j
Sunday" law, which has heen started !
by Wilbur F. Crafts, head of the Na- j
tional Keforra Bureau, will receive
pt'aiit encouragement at the hands of!
the newly elected Republican members
of the Slxty-feeventh Congress to be
called into special seHSion in March by
President Harding.
The movement, which has as its aim
a return to the tyrannical and narrow
minded restrict iunH of the Puritans, is
taken seriously everywhere except In
the National Capital, where political
gossiji iy entering upon the makeup of
tht- new adiiiiniHtration.
Senator Jones of Washington, who
ha year after year introduced a bill of
this sort "by request" of some of his
well-rneanins constituents, admits he
has never read all of its provisions and j
that he has not the slightest intention j
of ever asking for hearings on the!

10 a conclusion. n;preenwiLive mma, (
of Tennessee, who has also introduced
several bills of this kind, has been de-
feated for reelection. Representative j
Kendall of California, author of thb
war-time prohibition law, who will be
Bupergeded in the next congress by aj
Republican, pays he will have nothing I
to do with blue laws. Speaker Gillette j
and Majority Leader Mondell scoff at ;
the idea and declare that they have
no chance of being put through Con
gress at any time in the near future.
While Republican leaders In the Sen
ate and House and the members gen
erally &. re opposed to any attempt to
deprive the people of the country of
Innocent .Sunday amusements which i
would do them no harm, they are quite j
as determined that the prohibition j
question has been settled by the jatifl-j
cation on the part of forty-five out of j
forty-eipht Mates of the eighteenth j
amendment, and by the enactment of j
the Volstead Act and by the majority of j
six millions frfven laut month by the I

a Republican House and Senate. Hence,
they have no Intention of reviving a

Those moral forces in the country
