Will Nebraska save 20.000 lives?
This Is tho question that will have
to bo answered.
Nebraska has been assigned thv
task by tho National Relief commit
teo of saving this number of persona
from dying of starvation In China,
by furnishing $200,000.
Ten dollars will savo a life.
Omaha's quota In this drive is $75,
000, and from present Indications,
tho metropolis of tho state will go
over tho top as In past drives.
Attention Is now centered on tho
state. Tho eyes of tho national com
mitteo aro dlrect'ed toward this stnte
with much hopo, becauso of Its won
Ucrful showing In past drives.
At a recent meeting of tho state
workers in Omaha, Dr. J. P. Con
nolly, who recently retunvod "from
China, made tho following state
ment: "Wo do net reallzo how ter
rible the condition- aio In China, nnd
wo should help China bc'auso China
is tho real ally of tho United States
Tho Chlheso' are genulno friends of
tho Americans, nnd In any trouble
Ihoy would stand by us. There ate
it present more than 3CO.000-O00
Chlnes'o, bo you can Imaglno what a
powor they would bo In caso wo
needed their 'help. Wo hnvo an op,
portunlty to provo to them con
clusively that wo aro tholr friunda.
Tho real test of friendship cornea
when A-man, needs he)8c-.Chfna. pur,
friend, Is asking America, Its friend,
for holp. It's tho test. Wo must
help.
"Looking at this from tho humano
standpoint. Whllo wo ha-vo plenty
for food, thousands aro dying dally
of starvation in China. In tho
famlne-strlcken district, roots and
dried leaves aro being sold at a pre
mium; wholo families aro commit
ting suicide; girl members of house
holds aro being sold by tholr parents
for Immoral purposes; children aro
balng sold Into slavory."
The drive Is being cnrrled on un
der tho direction of I. W. Cnrpentor,
president of'tho Carpenter Paper
company of Oinahn. "I volunteered
to take up this work," said Mr. Car
ranter, "because I, had read of tho
terrible condition in China, and tho
p'.e:-. of tho suffering people touched
my heart. It Is tho duty ot overy
God-fearing man and woman to do
their share in relieving the suffoi
Ing In the orient. In I he oyes of God.
thoro is no race, no creed, no color
when a peoplo Is sufforlng. I know
that Nebraska will do her utmost
In Joining with tho other states of
tho union In helping these people.
Thpro is nn old Chlneso saying,
'Within tho four seas,, nil men aro
brothers."' ","', !
