Children at the Bread Kitchens

Three and a half million children in eastern and central Europe wait, gaunt and pinched like these, at the American kitchens for the hot soup and bread that mean life to them. In the winters since the Armistice, America has been the one friend that had food te give them. It Is a common sight la Bnrepa today to see a child five or six years old whose head las not healed. With g healthy well fed baby the skull should close before two years. America must see these children through the rigors of another winter, aad to that end eight great relief organizations have combined Into the European Relief Council. They seek to raise $33,000,000 to gave this generation of Europe from death hff starvation and the diseases that come with under-feeding.

WAQON LOADS OF NEED LIKE THIS IN POLANQ are a cemmenplMß debt en hundreds of roads ia Europe. Here than 1.308,000 Polish chtttrw received free American meals every day during the height of last winter. This winter the situation will undoubtedly be worse, as it will be in Austria and other portions left economically dazed by war. To prevent the greatest tragedy to children that the world has ever known eight great American organisation* under the name of the European Relief Cefmcll, are seeking $33,000,000 fag feed and medical assistance.
