THE fflTTTtff WOULD HAVEW0MEN PROPOSE Writtr Assails Old lda That 8hs Must Walt Unltl She la Sought In Marriage. More and more It becomes evident thnt n great and solemn referendum Is needed to scttlo tho questien: Slinll women propose? This matter It Is a leap year bns been agitating men and women for more than six monlhv When 10CO opened, this newspaper cnlted attention to the fact Hint It was a leap year and suggested nnd even advised women to tackle men who were dancing back, and see Hint they did their duty and assumed the bur den of marriage. We told women to boldly propose to men nnd ee that they gave the right answer nn nfllrm atlve. There Is no person qulto so much of a slacker in a sinugglsh bachelor, and If lie pmetn not the nerve to nk a womnii lo marry him, then It Is the right of the w union to demand that he murry her and see that he does. Weak arguments have been offered against women proposing; folk say It Is unwomanly, that tt be littles the glrf, nnd n lot of nonsense like that. If persons will look nt the matter reasonably nnd realise that It Is the duty of every healthy person to have a mate through life, they wll un derstand that It Is as much a woman's right to request a man to marry her as It Is the man's right to put the ques tion to her. Wherefore we repeat what we have said before, that women should do the proposing In eases where men atiow an Inclination to hang back or are bashful. If left to a refcrcn-, dum we feel sure the woman's right to propose will be sanctioned.

One 0 cent hot American meal toilny has snved a thousand lives. Winter Is closing down. Tim money of many nations Is vnlneles out side their own boundaries.

Itiibly.tho helpless children will suffer most No child can grow tu health and sanity on the pitiful makeshifts for food with which millions of Kuro iwiin adults must content themselves this whiter.

Tho undersigned organizations, working among every rare nnd creed, many engaged nlto In other forms of relief, agree uunnlmounly that the plight of these helpless children should have complete priority In over seas charity until the situation Is met This Is an Issue without politic" nnd without religious Hues. There ran bo no dnliger of pauperization, for the 123,000.000 for child food, and the $IO,06o.(X)0 for medical service that we seek, will relieve only the critical cates. The medical supplies, of course, must be an unqtinllned gift, but for every American dollsr used In chlld-fredlng, the governments and communities aided furnish two dol lars In the form of transportation, rent, labor, clerical help, cash contri butions and such food supplies as are locally eblalnable.

To say that 8X00,000 children bar bo altsrnatlv to starva tion or death from disease except American aid. Is startling, but Independ ent observers by the acor and care ful scientific surveys of the economic and crop conditions overseas brand the figure as conservative.

In the city of Vlcnnn tests conducted In the Amerlruii Itellef Administration food kitchens showed that VI per cent of the children between the ages of 0 and 14 were "seriously undcr-nourlsli. ed. Thirty-three per cent were mark edly under-nourished, 11 percent were slightly subnormal and only 4 per cent approached tho state ot a normal Amcriccn child.

The most spontaneous as wttl at the rsrrett eonsoltdattoa' of effort In the abrtory of American relief and charita ble organisations ha grown out of the disaster which threaten 3,600,00 Kuropesa children this winter. Te Ik htadqaarttrs ef every agency that M peases American sosrry overseas baa come one ateady cry for month past; the children, most htlplesa and blame less sufferers In the track ot war, will perish by the thoussnds befor next bsrvest unless America saves tbeml When Dr. Livingston Farrand, chair, man of the Central Committee of the American Ited Cross, returned from a recent trip abroad, his report throbbed with the need of the children. From Oie feeding-stations ef the America Itellef Administration throughout ast ern and central Europe came letter, cables, pleas of every sort The Pro testant churches sent Investigator Into after-war conditions and every report breathed the Impending tragedy of starving and diseased children. Protestant, Catholic and Jewish, tho child llfu of IZuropo Is threatened with benrtrendlng misery. The Kuropenn Itellef Council, with Herbert Hoover as chairman and the whole power of American charitable thought and effort behind It, has been formed. It consists of Kdgar Illrk aril, representing the American Itellef Administration; Dr. Mvlngslon Far rand, representing the American lied Cross; Felix Warburg, representing tho Jewlth Joint Distribution Commit tco; Wllhtir IC Thomns, representing the, American Friends' Hervlre Com mittee; James A. Flaherty, represent ing the Knight of Columbus; Dr. C V. Hlbhnrd, representing tho Young Men's Christian Association; Miss Barah H. I.yon, representing the Young Women's Christian Association; Dr. Arthur llrown, representing the Fed eral Council of Churches. It Is the purpose of the Council to ratso 133,000,000, In an appeal canter ing at tho Christmas holidays, to the end that the situation regarding child life may be met In every town nnd community nt tho nation, It Is hoped, , local committees, representing all the co-operating agencies will be formed to secure the vllully necessary rauda. Of the amount sought, $23,000,000 will be used for basic food. For every on of these American dollur tb local governments and communities aided will furnish two dollars, In the focm of transportation, labor, guards, cleri cal help, cash contributions and such food supplies ns aro locally obtainable. No children receive (ho freo food ex cept after roedlrnl tests showing them to bo seriously Vmder-nourlshed. The remaining $10,000,000 of tho fund Is Just ns urgently needed for medical survlco to tho children. Tliu Kuropeun Itellef Council will do much more than effect cvonumlos In tho raising of the chlldsiivlng fund. It will, with the Inspecting forces ot eight great agendo, keep a constant eyo on tho administration of America's merciful gift, In order that there shull bo no wustngo and ni tendency towurdi pauperisation.
