- THE MORNING STAK, W LLMINGTOGN, NV C, SUNDAY, JtfLT 10, 1921. TEN .1 ;h COMMITTEE TO QUIT JEWISH RELIEF WORK CALVIN'S BURUL PLACE IS r DISCOVERED, IT IS CLAIMED GENEVA, July 9. Leaders of the Protestant church throughout Europe are showing lively interest in the an nouncement that the burial place of John Calvin, the Swiss divine and re former, has been revealed after having Joint Committees to Withdraw i been unknown for 357 years from Poland, Where $25, 000,000 Was Spent St WARSAW, June 19. (Correspond- snce Associated Press.) The Amerl . Lsan Joint distribution committee which aas been doing relief work among the Jewish population in Poland nearly :, two years is preparing to greatly re--'.duce Its activties early in July, it was '-announced in Warsaw recently. Ap- proximately $25,000,000 has been ex--1 pended to date. One of the principal tasks under taken by the joint distribution com mittee was the sending of money from individuals in America to poor rela tives in Poland. This work has al .' rtady been discontinued. While the welfare work of the joint . distribution committee is to be cut down about one-third, the care of a limited number of orphans in Poland and Jewish refugees coming from Rus sia is to' be continued. Reconstruc tion work in the war-stricken dis tricts Is also to go on, 300 villages scat- texed along the eastern borders of Po- land already having been benefitted by water supply stations. An educational campaign, under di . rection of Dr. Harry Plots, of New York City, designed to teach the bene fits of sanitation, was inaugurated this year. In these operations it is planned to reach virtually every Jewish home in the smaller towns throughout Po land, which has a Jewish population of something like 4.000,000. The total population of the new republic is ap proximately 30.000.000. Sixteen doctors from America who began their field work last fall are to j continue indefinitely, working in tne districts where there is the most need. Under supervision of the joint distrib ' uation committee medical department. 92 hospitals have been established in various Jewish settlements. Some 500 ' public bathhouses have been erect- ed in as many villages, many of which had never had such ai institution un til this spring. Within the last few months more than 100.00 children have been vaccin a ted aearnst smallpox by the Joint dis tribuation committee doctors and their assistants. Herefter virtually all efforts are to be directed more toward productive work designed to help permanently the thousands of war sufferers and others who have been aided to get a new start in life and who are gradually becoming independent of charity. WOMEN FORCED TO LIVE WITH CALVES IN RUSSIA j Calvin died in 15.64 and was buried somewhere in the Plain-Palais ceme tery here but no stone has marked the spot.

INDIANAPOLIS, July 9- National headquarters of the American Legion has taken steps to prevent rdlsuse of government benefits for ex-service men, according to a statement made today by Lemuel Bolies. national ad jutant. ' "It has been brought to our atten tion that a few men nave deliberately falsified claims for compensation, vo cational training and. medical treat ment," said Mr. Bolles. "Considering the large number of wounded veterans who are entitled to every benefit the government can grive,;, the number of imposters is not large, But, few as i they are, their action works a hard- ship on the disabled. "Cases of deception have oeen more numerous lately, due to the rush of claims, following- the legion's fight for government efficiency. However, the; legion will find times and means to ex- pose any imposters who come to us for assistance in pressing their claims." ( Ail legion posts have been instructed to furnish government bureaus with information they obtain about men concerning whose disability any doubt exists. The post activities in favor of the genuinely disabled will continue.

(Corre- spondence Associated Press.) Those h who have the idea that the Bolshevik newspapers printed in Russia say only rnsv thinn-R about the eountrv could $V quickly be disillusioned by perusal of 5, the papers themselves. During the y past four months the principal Mos ?. cow and Petrograd newspapers have been startlingly frank about some of the conditions that communism has produced. The "Moscow Economio Life not long ago wrcte the following description of conditions on one of the communist 'model" farms: "The farm presented a picture of co mp bete desolation. For years there have been no repairs. Windows are broker walls are falling in and some of the buildings are in ruins.

"There are neither potatoes nor veg etables for the workers. In the sum mer no one has bothered to store them. t People are starving, cattle are starv ing. In the farm there are $2 per sons, of these, six are officials." The old - pre gram of the bolshevik government called for an increase In the number of these "model" farms. The new program by whlcii the peas ants are given nine years tenure of their land, practically does away with them. No less frank were more recent ad missions in the Moscow newspapers about the economic stat$ of Russian factories, some of which were shown to be producing less than five per cent of what they produced before the war.
