GERMAN TOTS SUFFER MOST AS WAR RESULT Story of Relief Work Among Children of Europe Tells of Real Calamity. WASHINGTON, D. C.—The condition of German children, and the organized efforts which American philanthropists are making to help them, were vividly described to us by an American who recently left Berlin. The children of Germany turn out to hare been the greatest sufferers of all. and the greatest calamity of the war, ror Germany and for the whole world, is that millions of European children are be- ; lng starred and stunted. Kinderhilfsmission of the American Friends Service committee at 2 Dorotheonstrasse* Berlin, which has direction of the child-feeding work of the American Relief Administration in Germany, is at present feeding 560,000 children a day. and If the voluntary contributions on which this work depends ■ permit, that number will be Increased to one million this year. In the first school visited, a parish or government school, the children were eating in the gymnasium. While older boys were going through exercises in the back of the room, children selected according to their needs lined up for feeding at the other end. Each had a tin cup and spoon and in turn received a big portion of rice and milk from the two teachers who handled the work. The chilijgen all have food cards, which they must show to the teacher, who keeps a careful record of every meal given. An American worker supervises the distribution and sees that the food is eaten on the premises, not wasted and is given where the need Is greatest. In this school there were no benches, so the little girls took their bowls away, sitting in .corners under parallel bars or on “horses," while the boys grouped together and chattered vo- ! ciferously in intervals of eating. In another block of this huge brick building was a Lyzeum Schule or girls’ high school where some feeding is also tarried on. Here the girls eat In a classroom seated at their desks. Girls in the fcigh school ranging from 6 to 14 in age are better clad and In slightly better physical condition. They come from upper middle class families’. The next place visited was a Catholic j school, where the principal, a small, energetic man, eating his own lunch (a brackbread sandwich) was supervising the child feeding. The food had been given out here in the entranece hall and two little boys with long spoons were busy scraping the last vestige of rice from the big container, a former army kettle. It was almost as clean as If it bad been scoured with hot water. In the same district is a klnderhsim, comfortably housed in a little frame house. There the little children had Just finished their meal and were marching around the room in pairs, singing songs. They were from 2 to 6 years in age, and during the feeding hour their mothers invited to come in and share in the not lunch. POOR SECTION OF HEREIN NOT SLCiIS. Another day was spent in s poorer district. The poor section of Berlin could never be called a slum. The streets are wide and clean and the buildings well constructed, In no way resembling the slums of New York or London. But closer inspection reveals the poverty and misery of the German working class today. The women are hatless and with the thermometer at zero have only shawls to wrap around their thin dresses. The footwear is inadequate, wooden-soled clogs and cheap carpet slippers being general. The faces seen on all sides are pinched, worn, dull-gray or white In color. The schools here, too, are housed in good buildings, but the children who line up for the daily feeding tell the universal story of chronic undernourishment. On this day the bowls were filled with a hot mixture of beans and rice and much to their delight each child wus also handed a big sweet white roll. These rolls are given four times a week. Pov-erty-stricken as it is, the German government has undertaken to supply the flour and sugar for the rolls during the next six months. Nearby two rooms hav* been taken and , fitted up for use as a dining room for | mothers. Every morning between 10 and 12 o’clock 128 of them come for a hot meal. They have the same food as that given to the children, but larger portions. All the women are either nursing young babies or are expectant mothers. They are chosen by a local committee of doctors in the same wu> the school children are selected. In these rooms children up to 6 years come In the afternoon for food. The feeding f mothers and very young children is more difficult on account of having no central place In which food can be served and no organization to work through as in the schools. At the kitchen for this district, where 10,0<*) meals a day are prepared, Is another dicing room for mothers, seating 25!) every afternoon. Avery interesting group of children was seen In another thickly populated district of working class families. Here three big schools were grouped together in one “complex,’’ the buildings having distinct entrances on different streets. There was a boys’ school, a girls' school and one for deaf and dumb children of both sexes. These latter were in very bad physical condition, many being tubercular. After finding out by signs from their teachers that their visitors w~re foreigners they asked for postage stamps and It was pathetic to see the eagerness with which these young collectors pounced on the most common American or English stamps. As the teacher said, it indicates the Isolation into which Germany has been plunged by the war. The meal this time was hot chocolate soup—a sort of thin cornstarch pudding A generous bowt of this with the big white roll wag a meal to be envied and it is probably the most popular of the six menus served every week. The huge kitchen for this district, all the equipment of whieh is old army material, supplies 25.000 ot these meals daily.

In every child-feeding center throughout Germany Is displayed a printed notice telling of the regulations of the feeding work of the Society of Friends. In *the past, notably In Catholic Bavaria, there has been some objection to this by Germans who feared that one motive of the campaign was to convert the children to another religion, but by now it has been thoroughly demonstrated that the spirit behind the work Is simply one of practical philanthropy. In which differences of creed play no part. Today when a German urchin asks a playmate If he has been “Quakerized" it Is not a religious question, but simply an inquiry as to whether or not he Is lucky enough to be on the Friends’ feeding list. The money given for this work comes from many sources, mostly in humble gifts, and only a portion of It Is from the Society of Friends. Nor are all the workers. many of whom are Germans, members of this society. The direction of the whole work Is In their hands, however, because of their efficiency and the eelf-sacrifice with which they have undertaken a service of relief as important as any In the world. Every Friend in Germany today is a volunteer, unpaid iForker. A great deal of care has been taken by the Friends to insure that this help will where it is most needed. The work is largely decentralized and local committees of German doctors, teachers and ■octal workers select from the most necessitous those who are to be favored. The meal is arranged as an extra and being given between 10 and 11 o’clock In The morning supplements the food the child may be getting at home. Without It, hewevor, many children would go

breakfastless. All food must be eaten on the spot. It Is necessary to enforce this rule strictly because at first It was found that children would run outside and give their portion to a waiting parent to take home. Then, too, children might be kept at home intentionully if there was a chance of the meal being sent to the house. That these children, to whom none of the responsibility for the war cnn be traced, stand in great need of assistance is obvious. Most of them are pale, listless and undersized. A little boy who was pointed out as Si years of age looked scarcely 5. It is the same with the girls. They ere flat-chested, with unhealthy protuberant stomachs and spindly, rickety legs. They come eagerly for the food and eat with enjoyment. A feeding period lr-sta for three months, at the end j of which time the children are examined by doctors. Those who show considerable improvement must be dropped from the list in order to make room for some new child in need, for lack of money limits the work of the American Friends Service committee to the very neediest cases.

GERMAN TONGUE FRIENDS ACTIVE Senate Amendment Suggested to Get Action. What ha* become known as the Allen Couhty lobby, which is Interested in seeing the ban against the teaching of the German language in the schools of Indiana lifted, became active again today. Harry G. Hogan, Republican chairman of the Twelfth district, who is anxious to see the Republican Legislature redeem his pledge to the Allen County citizens of German descent that the ban would be raised in return for their support of the G. O. P. cause, was on the scene early this morning. It is understood he is asking the Committee on Education, which has Senator William E. Bowers’ German bill in hand, to report it out with an amendment favoring the elimination of all modern foreign languages from the curlculums of the elementary and parochial schools. BOWERS MAKES SUGGESTION. Senator Bowers himself has made this suggestion to the committee and Byron Somers, president of the Ft. Wayne school board, and who has lobbied as assiduously as Mr. Hogan, is also understood to favor this move. Mr. Ilogan wishes to get the bill on the floor of the Senate and it Is reported he still feels that the icstriction against the teaching of German can be removed by careful maneuvering. Wilbur Carpenter of Ft. Wayne, first assistant clerk of the Appellate and Supreme Courts, arso showed renewed activity among the Senators. Mr. Carpenter has been on the Job for bis Ft. Wayne colleagues ever since the session started and has spent a great deal or his time In working for their Interests. RECALL FAILURE TO KEEP UP REPORTS.
