Children Dying by Thousands - in_Austria and Poland; Food Great Problem By Floyd Magriff International News Service Staff Correspondent. London, May 13.—Continental Eu- rope is today paying the full price of the World War. K Children are dying by the hundreds fn Austria, Hungary, Poland, Armenia . and other stricken sections of starva- tion. There is no food. They are nak- ed. Their mothers—for thousands of them are bereft of fathers—are without hope. These statements are made on the authority of Earl Surzon, Foreign Minister; Lord Robert Cecil, ex-Under Foreign Ministry, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Cardinal Bourne, Lord Weardale and other prominent Brit- ons who are trying to raise $20,000,- 000 for immediate relief. They say a gigantic monument of starvation is being erected in thous- ands of towns and villages of Europe ““where millions of children are starv- ‘' ing and dying. It is not a threatened calamity, but a frightful and active _tragedy that is being enacted now, minute by minute.” Their joint statement says thous- ands have died in the past few weeks and thousands more are on the point of death. “Cruel cold and famine are stalk- ing among these helpless . mites,” reads the appeal to Britain, “without clothing, without fires, without shel- ter and spreading their miserable ag- ony far and wide. 1t is a terrible “ faet that in'sore districte.there is not a child alive uru}er the age of seven years. . “Many of the paor refugees have ‘been stripped of thelr clothes and left naked to die. Thousands of adults and children have not tasted any nor- mal food for weeks, but have existed on roots and leaves and dandelions. The olive-green color of their skin and deep-sunken eyes testify to their ghastly sufferings. These poor peo- ple—mad with hunger—have in some eases exten the flesh from the bones of their dead comrades. “In some towns in Central Europe there is no milk, no fats, no meats. Babies who are not fet by their weak half-starved mothers have no food but frost-bitten potatoes. In most cases they die. But far greater is the tragedy of those who live on in this appalling misery.” The appeal is for the same kin work that Herbert Hoover has been carrying on to ‘‘Save tne Children.” “Think of the millions of little ones who are in immediate peril;” ex- horts the appeal. “Think of .ue blood ties of the terrible sacrifices we have made in the war that civilization might be spared, and think that now —fn spite of all—the awful after- math of war is threatening the des- tiny of mankind in this appalling fashion. “Plague and disease, stunhed ba- dbies, shrivelled breasts, a sterile earth, hundreds of square miles of country without milk, bread, medi- eines and without clothing o1 any kind—and, above all, the gaunt and towering figure of starvation snatch- -4ng babies from their mothers’ arms and claiming victims every hour. “This is the tragedy and today is our greatest opportunity to stay its eourse.”’ Lord Weardale is chairman of the British “Save the Children Fund.” U : REGISTER ‘Wednesday’s register at the Mark- bham. included Carlos Avery, W.

Ships to Other States. Pickerel fry are much in demand in the southern part of Minnesota and many waters.there have been planted with pickerel this spring. In answer to -requests from Maryland a large quantity of suckers has been sent there to replenish-the streams which have become depleted entirely. It is probable that a car load shipment of bull heads will be sent this year to Massachusetts. where the hook and line enthusiasts will be glad to get most anything for their streams. Many others states can be supplied by, Minnesota with species of fish which are most common here and which are not desired so highly by Minnesota fishermen. 2 Must Be Protected. Mr. Avery predicts that every sum- mer resort will be overcrowded this year with tourists from all parts of the United States. All these people enjoy fishing and the fact that Min- nesota can furnish the desired fishing means a great advantage to the state toward securing the summer tourist trade. Although this will bring an influx of visitors here every precau- tion must be taken to see that the fishing privileges are not abused by the tourists. Game and fish must be protected and preserved for their benefit and care must'be taken to see that in any case none-are wasted. No person should take more fish from any of the Minnesota waters than he or she can use to good advantage. Guides should be required to digcourage ex- cessive taking of fish by the tourists. 36 Refuges in Minnesota. Speaking concerning- the Dproposed g)me refuge which was planned to extend along the northern boundary of the present preserve and contain four .sections of land, he stated that the residents of that vicinity had dis- couraged the movement at the hear- ing Wednesday morning, and that no further action to establish it would be, taken at this time. There are at pre- sent 36 refuges in the state of Min- nesota, and all need better financial support. For that purpose tne legis- lature will be asked, according to pre- sent plans, for an appropriation to pay for a resident game-kgeper in| each refuge to look after the animals and wild life on the preserve. Porte Flays Leagte. . In addition to the talk given by Mr, . Avery, Thomas Porte of Moval Lake in an- interesting talk backed up by-facts and figures flayed the leadership of the Non-Partisan league and brought home to the members present the necessity of putting up a fight to prevent that league from get- ting a hold on Minnesota like it has on'North Dakota. Having lived for a number, ‘of years in Grand Forks he has.‘become thoroughly acquainted with’the workings of the league and realizes the extreme need of. prevent ing it from coming into power in this state. .. Renorts and Recorumends+in=c -8, Lycan, reporting for the com- mittee appointed to make arrange- ‘ments-for a secretary to the associa- tion to succeed H. M. Stant6n who has resigned to take up a similar position at Grand Forks, stated that the com- mittee has been unable to persuade Mr. Stanton to remain in Bemidji and that it was recommended that H.. Z. Mitchell, editor- of The Bemidji Sentinel, be temporarily secured as secretary. The matter was referred to the board of directors for further action. : Superintendent R. O. Bagby of the Bemidji public schools called the at- tention of those present to the page- ant which is to be given by pupils of the local schools at the Grand the- atre on May 18 and 19, and espescial- 1y urged that all endeator to attend. G. W. -Harnwell recommended to the association that arrangements be boat which would be used for their own personal pleasure. At present the patients there have no means. to enjoy the lake and it is d emed that. such arrangements could quite easily be made by the association to provide 'a suitable boat for that purpose. A committee was appéinted to see what arrangements could be made on this proposition and a report will be made as to the findings at the next meeting of the association. e Revords on N. M. D.

At least $1,- 000 will be required for financing the affair and as soon as a definite pr gram is arranged that amount will be solicited. The Juvenile Band has been secured for two days of the meeting, and plans are being laid for a community picnic at which coffee and fish will be served by the associ- ation, the participants bringing a bagket lunch with the balance of the dinner. For the sports program there are planned..casting contests, canoe races and:various water sports. Stanton Has Best Wishes. In appreciation of-the ‘work accom- plished by H.

The Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany ran three special steamships for the delegates from the Far East. One left Calcutta, early in March and -touched Colombo, Ceylon, Singapore, Straights Settlements, French Indo- China and Manila. Another came by way of Hong Kong. American mer- chants who had not been home for several years jumped at the opportun- ity to come back to the ‘“‘States”. Delegates from the west Latin Ame! ican countries started arriving last week, but the big rush came yester- day when some of the special excur- sion trains coming from the Atlantic coast pulled into the Union Station. At the general session on ‘‘Exports and Imports” opening this afternoon at 2:30, George E. Roberts, vice pres- ident of the National City Bank of New York, delivered the keynote speech on the new state of equilib- rium in our foreign trade. He declared that war loans to bel- ligerent nations, the repurchase of American securities and the develop- ment of our merchant marine have revolutionized our ordinary ideas of what constitutes ‘‘favorable’” foreign trade. “In the past,” said Mr. Roberts, “it ‘wag necessar'y for the United States to have a trade balance of approximate- 1y $600,000,000 per year in order to pay the charges accruing against. it abroad, but in the future it will be necessary for the United States to re- celve 2 balance of perhaps an squal amount in order to collect the inter- est running in its favor and against other countries. “This may sound to some people like & startling and even an alarming change. Our own history has accus- tomed us to thinking that we must have a trade balance in our favor in order to be in a sound and prosperous condition, but that was true because we were in a debtor position. ‘We had to have an excess of exports over im- ports sufficlent to meet the other charges in the account against us. “We must now consider that our position is reversed, that our own re- -quirements are reversed and that the countries which are now debtor to us need.to have the favorable trade bal- ance for the same reason that we for- merly required it. - It is in the inter- est of both sides that the debtor coun- try shall have -the favorable trade balance, because that is the-only: con-. dition: under which it can meet its] obligations. T .:*The plain truth is that it in our relations witn the rest of the world the balance of payments runs con- tinually in.our favor, both on trade account and on interest account, ex- [change rate will risé against us as the balance increases, discouraging exports and encouraging imports, un- til the trade is brought. substanti- Véal =, Tl Beef, dressed.
