HERALD, DAKOTA CITY, NEBRASKA. 1 EUROPEANS PLEADING FOR THEIR CHILDREN Elder Generation Sacrifices Self K That Hope of Future May Receive Means of Life. The one optimistic note In the des perate need prevailing through the war torn areas of eastern Europe is the ex traordinary and touching faith of the people In the children. The elder gen eration has put all Its hope and trust In the future of Die generation now In its early years. In fact, in many in stances it Is deliberately sacrificing it self for the children, the Europe of to morrow. In the war-raraged districts supplies necessary for maintenance of Insti tutions are lacking, but It has been noted that always the request for out side old emphasises the needs of the orphaunges. How marked Is 'this In clination was indicated by the fact that one district of Poland, the au thorities, appealing to nn American re lief organization for assistance, asked assistance for only one military hos pital, four general hospitals and twen ty orphanages. The appeal has reached America with the resuit that because they know that literally millions of European chil dren face starvation and death from dispose unless the aid that only this country can give Is forthcoming, eight great American relief agencies have banded together under tho name of the European Itellef Council to raise $33, 000,000 needed to tide the baby genera tion of Europo over possibly tlu most critical winter It has yet faced. These are the American Itellef Administration, the American Red Cross, Hie American Friends' Servlco Committee (Quakers), tile Jewish Joint Distribution Commit ted, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ In America, the Knights of Columbus, the Y. M. 0. A. and the T. W. C. A. FOREIGNERS SENDING VAST RELIEF HOME Over 90 Per Cent of Pood Drafts 'Sent to Europe Gifts From Immigrant Population. "Out of their earnings, for the most part as unskilled laborers, living from hand to tnoutli, the foroigu-born ele ment In the United States is contribut ing largely to tho funds for food sup plies to aid the starving peoples of their native lands. "Figures from the Food Draft section of the American Relief Administration 4h'ow that C03,110 had been sent to Poland, up to tho end of November. $IR8,170 hod been sent to Czecho Slovakia, Hungary had received $38'.!, 700, Germany had 11,443,010 and Aus tria 12,040,720. It was estimated that more than 00 per cent of this mouey had been spent by nationals of these various countries who are now In the Ifnlted States. There are about 1,600,- K) Poles, 800,000 Hungarlanc, C00.000 techs and 000,000 Slovaks In this country. '.The profits which resulted from the site of thcte food drafts have been turned Into the fund for general child feeding. It Is to bring this fund up to the point where, It .can incut the de mands on it, to suve'the lives of 11,500, ,000 children that the European Relief Council has been formed by eight great relief organizations. -"fi Mcktto Did This.

BECOMES APPALLING Condition of Children Even More Harrowing, Declares Authority on City's Desperate Plight. Five years of famine have resulted Id greatly Increased mortality and morbidity In Vienna which before tho war was counted as one of the health iest cities In Europe. Figures prepared by Dr. Oustuve Holm, head of the. Vlennn Ilculth Department, Bbow that In 1013 the death rate was 13.3 per thousand. In 1018 the rate was 22.5 per thousand, an Increase of more than 47 per cent. Professor nans Spcl of the Uni versity of Vienna, says that "even moro terrible than tho mortality sta tistics aro thoso referring to tho con dition of children arid their mothers. Owing to under-nourlshment few moth ers) cinj nurse their bubles, nnd the milk shortage ulTectfl not only Infants, but all children In spite of ol. that hus been dono to help. At Professor Clemens Plrquet's clinic In tho uni versity some 64,840 children were ex amined In 1018. Only 4.G37 of these or about one-thlrtreiith were pasted as skin good, fat good; 2.1,000 were nale and thin, or very pnlu and very thin. "The health of these children shows most disquieting feature. Skin ill sense, ruchltls and Harlow's disease are rift). "The chief medical officer of Vienna asks, 'What Is going to huppen to these under-fed children, In whose bodloMhe germ of tuberculosis Is latent, when they reach the twenties, at which time It becomes active 7' " To coinbut these conditions the Amer ican Relief Administration of which Herbert Hoover Is cbulrtnan fed lust winter in the city of Vienna some 300,000 of the destitute and under nourished children, supplylLg them with a substuntlul meul of American, food, served in a number of hirge kitchens opened foi that purpose. The conditions in Vienna aro more or less typical of thowe In Poland and' other countries of Central and Eastern Europe. Lost year tho Relief Admin-, Istrutlon was able to reach some 3,500,-. 000 under-aourlshed children nnd this' winter the program calls for the feed ing of a like numLer, but eight of the great charitable organizations of' America have united under the name of the European Relief Council, of which Mr. Hoover Is the chnlrmnn. The child feeding tusk will be carried on not ouly by the American Relief Ad ministration but by the American Red Cross, tho American Friends' Service, Committee (Quakers), 'the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, the Federal' Council of the Churches of Christ In America, the Knights of Columbus, tho, T. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. An up-, ptal for S33.000.000 tins been mudu and the organizations named have joined in rulslug the sum. LAUGHTER OF CHILD SCARCE IN POLAND "In all the time I was In Poland, I scarcely onre suw a child laugh," declared Dr Harry I'lotz, discoverer of the typhus baccllus, In a report to (he European Relief Council on med ical conditions umong the Jewish popu lation of Polund, based on Ills recent Investigations there for the Jewish Joint Distribution Committee. "The most deplorable sight of all tlm miseries. In Poland Is the cotull-' (ton of the children," Dr. Plots auliM "Infant mortality Is exceedingly high, because of under-uourlshment nnd the. high percentage of contagious diseases. In lurge part mothers must resort to artificial feeding as they are unable to; nurso their children. In many cities I saw underfed children, suffering with diseases, wandering about the streets with no place to go, beggltg for bread." Tuberculosis has become prevulent among the Jewish children, largely due to the overcrowded conditions In, which they are forced to live, their' luck of nourishing food nnd warm clothing, according to Dr. I'lotz. Typhus, which killed thousands of Jews last wluter In the worst epidemic Polund hau ever seen will recur again, he suld, us conditions are much worse aiming the Jews than evr before, "t'uvus, a contagious skin dUeuse, Is now rapidly spreading from child to child," he continued. "In Vllnu there are 11,000 cubes among the Jew ish children alone. Smallpox, too, Is prevalent hroughout Polund und the Ukraine jud children, with wide spread eruptions und temperature, have been seen running about (ho streets. There are thousands of cuses every year, which vucclnatlon would prevent, but there Is no vaccine." Dr. Plots told how In Lithuanian villages he found children, six uud seveu years eld, unable to walk or talk, the result of malnutrition. In regions where whole towns bud been destroyed during the war, he found fatuities crowded In tetctrable dug outs.

POLAND NOW RIVALS PLIGHT OF BELGIUM Children Chief Sufferers In Land Stripped of Necessities, Says Relief Worker. Poland Is In the destitute state for want of food and clothing among the poor that Belgium would have been during the war, had there been no com mission for relief in that country, ac cording to Dr. Vernon Kellogg, Ameri can Relief Administration official, who recently returned from Warsaw, Dr. Kellogg was a member of Mr. Hoover's staff In Belgium, and at the conclusion of hostlltles, entered Po land ns tho Hoover emissary In churge of food relief. He first entered Poland in 1010, a few months nftcr the Ger I man occupation. His report of starva. j tlon, disease and suffering tlmt exist ed at that time Is one of the most burrowing documents In the records of American relief work overseas. Dr. Kellogg made the following statement regurdlng the work after the armistice: "With Warsaw ns our headquarters, wo began oporntlons In Poland In Jan uary, 1010, und within a few weeks there wns established a stojidy' Impor tation of food Into that country, Tons and tons of It cam from overseas through the Port of Danzig. "It was impossible to do all that the administration wnnted to do, be cause the need of Poland was too great, but It wns ugreed that enough food should be sent to Poland to cure for the four million people until the great agricultural districts could again pro vide for them. "But4ln addition to these four mil lion people who so pressing!? needed relief, there was another call for relief from a source that could not be re sisted: the children of' the land. Many of these were orphans, hungry, ema ciated, destitute and diseased. So the Amorican Rollef Administration added to Its work by Instituting a system of feeding these children. In a few months a million and a quarter Polish children were getting a free meal ev ery day of special food prepared to counteract the effects of their previous undernourishment." To flush the Job eight great organ izations have united under the name of the European Relief Council to raise the funds necessary to cure for the food needs and the medical needs of the 3,500.000 children of Eastern and Central Europe.
