the allies and the United States coull

I HUNGER DRAWS THE MAP
, • ' i
A food map of Europe today shows
not a single country In which the fu
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only a small part which
Is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient foo'i supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores accu
mulated on the farms, there Is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern Frnnce, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest of Europe
because they stand In a different rela
tion from the other nations to the peo
ple of tlrfe United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their Increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, roust be Included In this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief.
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America hag extended to
her during the war constitutes the
strongest nppeal for us to contlntie our
work tkere. The moment the German

Paris. —In the great amphitheater
of the University of Paris (the Sor

degree of doctor honoris causa, con
ferred upon him in recognition of his
work as a jurist and historian. This
Is tho first time In the history of the
university that an honorary degree
has been bestowed, authorization for
Its granting having been given by a
recent decree.

said:

TREMENDOUS GERMAN LOSSES
IN LIFE, LIMB AND LIBERTY
Copenhagen.—Figures compiled by
The Cologne Gazette and published
November 25, placed the total Ger
man casualties at more tban 6,000,000.
Of this number It was estimated that
about 2.000,000 were killed.

In the French chamber of deputies
on December 20. by Lucien Loilin, a
seat of government the little nation's
first thought was to express her grati
tude to the Commission for Belief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a mop for Ameri
cans because there Is no present Indi
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food neetis of
Germany. Germany probably can care
T(Sr her own food problem if she Is
given access to shipping and Is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou
ble centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all of which buve been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet Immediate
needs, but their fututre presents seri
ous difficulties. T' e same Is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun
tries—Norway, Sweden and Denmark
—whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia la already In the
throes of famine, and 40,000,000 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spUug thou

GLASS MAKES REQUEST OF
CHARITABLE AGENCIES

Glass In a statement requested chari
table organizations seeking funds by
public subscription to refrain from
making any suggestion to the public
that they will accept Liberty bonds or
war savings stamps unless they Intend
to use those securities as endowment
funds to be held for permanent In
vestment.
Mr. Glass said that In appealing
for Liberty bonds and war savings
stamps the organisations seemed to
overlok the fact that so long a* the
government must sell additional so
curltles the taking of bonds of pre
vious Issues by charitable organlza.
tlons and the subsequent resale ol
such bonds oa the open market has a
tendency to depress the price.

President Wilson will take Christ

Church unity may not be so far
away as it may seem. It Is hinted that
the pope may request President Wilson
to act as mediator between the qulrl
nal and the Vatican. The pope as head
of the Roman Christians represents
the theocratic idea of government In
church; while President Wilson, who
is a rigid Presbyterian, whose Prot
estant orthodoxy cannot be question
ed, represents the democratic idea of
church government. We may be Irv
ing in more wonderful times than we
appreciate. It is perfectly apparent
that If Wilson should be successful In
umpiring a dispute as long standing
as .that between the qulrlnal and the
Vatican that theologians could dis
pense with some of their hobbles and
get closer together.
