Vast Allied Project Reflected By
Presence of Lord Reading and L. I..
Summers in England.
(By Judson C. Welliver).
(Staff Correspondent of The Globe.
Copvritrht. 1918. by J. C. Welliver)
Washington, Aug. 12. The report
ed arrival in England of L. L. Sum
mers, representing the War Trade
Board, immediately following the
landing of Lord Reading, the Britirji
ambassador has especial significance
in view of the -special relations of
these two men to the international ar
rangements for conducting the war in
future.
Mr. Summers was recently describ
ed by Bernard Baruch, head of the
War Trade Board:
"It woildn't be adequate for me to
jefer to Mr. Summers as my right
hand, he said. "Rather he is my
thinking head."
A general statement, for Mr. Ba
ruch, in addition to making decisions
which is his specialty does a pow
erful share of the thinking. But he
has reposed- unlimited faith In Mr.
Summers, who likewise has gained
the confidence cf experts associated
with the great bureau of economics di
rection called the War Trade Board.
International organizations against
the central empires is being perfected
to a degree not heretofore attemnted
o'- deemed necessary. The relations
of America to the whole war business
have been placed on a new basis by
reason of this country's large partic
ipation. This country itself has been
astounded to discover how much it
could do in a short time under pres
sure. And England has been even
more .amazed.
To Pool World's Resources.
Mr. L!( yd George, in his House of
Commons statement yesterdav, ob
served that the American army soon
would be "not far short of the Ger
man army itself." This assurance
would not have been given thus offi
cially to the British people if Mr.
Lloyd George had not known whereof
he spoke. When Lord Reading sailed
from this country there was little in
the announced military programme to
warrant such an expectation. The
War Department had just defeated a
pronosal in congress to extend the
draft ages, and yesterday General
March told the Senate Military Com
mittee that this was ddhe because it
was not then expected that America's
participation would extend to such n
scale.
Lord Reading went home to carr;
personal assurance to his government
that the United States was in the war
o a finish; and it is understood, to
discuss with his government the op
iniors of President Wilson and the
American attitude about problems
which must arise during the remain
ing period of the war and in connec
tion with peace making and recon
struction thereafter. ,
The ambassador will be able to in
form his government of the under
standings that have been reached
thiough diplomatic discussion, while
Mr. Summers, on behalf of the War
Trade Authorities, will be prepared
to take up a great number of prae

APPEAL MADE FOB THE
STARVING PEOPLE
Terrible Conditions Exist in Eu
ropean Countries That Are
War Swept.
If an American would appreciati
the terrible suffering of a people, let
him read the report of the commis
sion which investigated the condition!
of the Jews of the battle zone of Eu
rope, especially in Poland, where the
armies of the Germans and Russians
swept back and forth over a land of
people incapable of defending them
selves and protecting their all.
No people on earth have suffered
more than the Jews who were caught
by the waves of fighting that swept
over the battle lands of Europe, and
no people more need the support ejnd
aid of Aha rich. and. Jtesourceful peojda
of America. Millions of these people
are in the army. Many of them in
Russia where the old autocratic con
ditions denied them rights and liber
ties that any people ought to has as-l'-ed,
thnfc they fought for tReir na
tive land at the time 'that they knew
their aged and children at home Were
not permitted to live and move among
conditions that ought to be assured
any people. Many of them are in the
allied armies and numerous of the
race are fighting in the American
army today, and many thousands ere
now preparing to go, Well informed
American ought ' to secure ' and read
this report referred to here. It shows
the most awful conditions' known to
man and reveals the trible condi
tions under which so many people are
living today facing starvation and
the horrors of an awful living. V'V;;5
The Jews of America are making a
sterneous effort to relieve the imme
diate needs of these people and the
"who American peopl are appealed to
to Join in the movement to secure
funds to bring relief to a great race
of people fn great distress of mind
nd body.. - ' ' . ' ; .
Governor Bickett hat named Au
gust 19th os the day for co-operation
in this state. This is the date the
peoile of this state are asked to sub
scribe to the fund, and the organ Iza
t'on which has recently been' formed
in the state tyrannizing the whole

Post this morning asks that .we., co
Operate to make this campaign in the
state a success We known of noth
ing better than we can do than to urge
our people to give liberally. Once the
true conditions are known there will
be no doubt about the American peo
ple givinir. The Jews are modest and
retiring in this respect and havenot
pushed their claims as th?y might, but
their friends in America are cow
arouid to do the best work of relief
and if possible to raise sufficient
money to relieve this great Suffering,
' A telegram to Mr.' Henry Morgan
thaue, former minister to Turkey, arid
a big patriotic American statesman
urges us to make this contribution
durinr the days of August 19th to
