UNITED STATES TO FEED EUROPE

House Votes $100,030,000 Asked for by the President for Food. FEAR GF THE GOLSHEViKI Henry White's Request for Action Follows That of the Executive — Senate Probably Will Act V at Once. Washington, Jan. 1 A. —The house passed the administration bill appropriating $100,000,000 for the relief of the starving peoples of Europe. The vote was 242 for and 73 against. The bill now goes to tij<e senate. Washington, Jan. 14.—1 n a message [Solemnly urging congress to appropriate the $100,000,000 requested for (European food relief, President Wilson ■said bolshevism, steadily advancing [Westward, could not be stopped by iforce, but could bb stopped by food. Food relief, he said, was the key to the whole European situation and to the solutions of peace. A message from Henry White, member of „ the American peace delegation, to the state department said that the “startling westward advance of bolshevism” dominated the entire European situation above all elsef and that it was of the utmost Importance that the president’s request be granted at once. He said It was Impossible to begin the peace conference under proper auspices without .previous adequate provisions to cope with this situation. Text of President’s Message. Following Is the president’s mes«age: “I cannot too earnestly or solemnly urge upon the congress the appropriation for which Mr. Hoover has asked for the administration of food relief. I'• ‘ ' \

rood relief is now the key to the Whfile European to the solutions of peate. Bolslievism is steadily advancing westward, is poisoning Germany/"' It -cannot be stopped by force, but it can be stopped by food, and all the leaders with whom I am in conference agree that concerted action -in this matter is of immediate and vital Importance. “The money will not be spent for food for Germany itself, because Germany can buy its food, but it will be spent for financing the movement of foca| to our real friends in Poland and to the people of the liberated units of the Austro-Hungarian empire, and to our associates in the Balkans. I beg that you will present this matter with all possible urgency and force to the congress. “I do no£/see haw w T e can find definite powers with whom to conclude peace unless this means of stemiping the tide of anarchism be employed.’ 1 What Henry White Cabled. Mr. White’s message said : “Feel I should no longer delay laying before you conditions which, have been gradually forcing themselves upon our delegation and which now dominate entire European situation above all else, namely, startling westward advance of bolshevism. It now completely controls Russia and Poland and is spreading through Germany. Only effective barrier apparently now ngninsf it is food relief, ns bolshevism thrives only on starvation and disorder. I consider it, therefore, of the ut most importance that president’s request for $100,000,000 appropriation for relief be granted at once. Impossible to inaugurate peace conference under proper auspices without previous adequate provisions to cope with situation.

"Aside from the stoppage of bolsevism I understand there is in the United States considerable surplus of food accumulated at high prices maintenance whereof guaranteed by our government or assurance under Its auspices, and that it is necessary to dispose of-this_sur.pl us In order to relieve /warehouse and financial facilities as well as prevent serious fall in prices with radical break in market which would cost our conntry more than the appropriation asked for. “The appropriation is not for the purpose of advancing money to Germany, which will pay on a cash basis for any food sent there. Allies are already furnishing to liberated territories and are disposed to assist otherwise to extent of their available resources, but most of the food must come from the United States. 1 cannot too strongly Impress upon you urgency of meeting situation herein described.” The president’s message, addressed to Senator Martin of Virginia and Representative Slierley of Kentucky, chairmen of the congressional appropriations committees, and that of Mr. White were read on the floor of the house by Mr. Sherley during debate on a special rule to give immediate consideration to the appropriation bill.

ARMENIA SYMBOL OF SUFFERING FOR AGES

rHROUQH ALL YEARS OF PERSECUTION HAB BEEN FAITHFUL TO CHRISTIAN RELIGION. Tlm Belgian Tragedy Falla Into Unimportance When Compared " With That of Near East. By MARY LOUISE CARMICHAEL Armenia, the wonderful little nar tlon eo many times overpowered but never overcome, is accepted by the world as the symbol of suffering. Since the year 311, when the Armenians first Incurred ’'The hostility of Rome because they had adopted the Christian faith, down through the centuries to the present time these people have been persecuted for their tenacity in the profession of Christianity. But persecution has only Increased their fidelity. Today those who have escaped the horrible massacres perpetrated by their oppressors are homeless wanderers, scattered througnout Asia Minor and many are found in the Caucasus under Russian rule. They have shown remarkable tenacity in preserving their individuality as a people and the ability to recover from disaster. They were the earliest nation to become Christian and have as a nation Bteadily adhered to the faith, although thousands of their number have suffered martyrdom on account of their religious belief. The last Armenian king surrendered to Egypt in 1375 and never since has the nation been strong enough to regain Its freedom, surrounded as it Is by hostile tribes and cut off from help from western nations. For over a thousand years, they have been under Turkish oppression, but although they are.a subject race and have had the most fearful atrocities practised on them, they have retained their racial purity and customs, their steadfastness In the Christian faith and their language. On account of their religious belief and their sane habits of life, they have managed to keep their intellectual vigor and physical strength. The Turks have always been jealous of the ability and Intelligence of the Armenians and have feared their shrewdness. In proportion to their number, they have acquired far more of the wealth of the land than the Turks and this has aroused the envy of their rulers. Turkey has tried to abolish the Armenian question by abolishing the Armenians. The Turkish government, with the approval if not with the direct cooperation of Germany, has tried to exterminate an entire people whose chief offense was industry and whose unforgiving crime was the profession of Christianity. As Belgium by her heroic resistance against Germany saved Paris, so Armenia by refusing to join Turkey, stood loyal to the Allies and made it impossible for Germany to carry out her plans In the Cailcasus. The American Committee of the Armenian and Syrian Relief is asking the people of this country for $30,000,000 to meet the immediate needs of the sufferers in the Near East who have been driven from their homes and deprived of their means of livelihood. More than one million Armenians and Syrians in Turkey and western Asia have perished during the past two years from exposure, starvation, disease, heartless deportation and cruel massacre. There are still two and a half millions of homeless and destitute people in Armenia and Syria, and at least 400,000 of these are children without fathers and many of them without mothers. They are experiencing a living death, enduring the horrors*of hunger and the tortures of want.

The Armenian tragedy is one before which the tragedy of Belgium pales. Other martyred nations have had their friends and been provided with help, but Armenia has been virtually cut off from outside aid, left to bleed, to suffer and die. A little more and an entire Christian nation will have perished from the earth. These two million five hundred thousand Armenians can be saved from final starvation only as America appreciates their awful condition, and extends the helping hand of fellowship and sympathy. Indiana’s quota of the national fund Is $620,172. It is estimated that $5 a month, S6O a year will save a life. The amount asked of this stats will rescue 21,000 people from starvation and start them on a self-supporting basis. The campaign organisation In this state is completed, county quotas have been assigned and several counties have already sent in checks to state headquarters at 404 City Trust Building, Indianapolis, for the full amount of their quotas with the promise of an oversubscription. Four war chest counties, Miami, Montgomery, Ohio and Steuben and Carroll, which Is a tax levy county, have voted to allow the full amount required of them. Harrison county has raised Its quota' and sent in a check with the word that they expected a goodsized oversubscription. The people of Indiana hare never failed to open their hearts and their purse-strings to the cry of humanity and they will not fail to respond to this appeal of dying men, women and children. This is a 100 per cent charity. Not a cent .will be deducted anywhere along the line for postage or clerical help, or advertising, or transportation, or administrative expen- . aes. v

Now That the War Is Over We Are Going to Have a Better World Than Before

fathers died at Lexington and Concord was being forgotten. But now, out of the horrors of this, the greatest war the world has , ever seen, is emerging, I believe, a new sense of brotherhood —a new sense of the worth and dignity of man. Now that the war is over we are going to have a better world than we ever had before. We are going to have a revival of that old notion—which we saw our fathers not only teach but practice —of the infinite worth of man as the supreme thing in our civilization. We are going to see a new notion of fraternity; and in business we shall see as great ajriyajry as we have seen in the past, but the rivalry between one business and the other will be to determine which can best serve humanity and the world.

In the Piping Times of Peace Will It Be Airplanes or Motor Cars?

Will the airplane supplant the auto in future? Is there a future for the aircraft industry when we are back on a peace basis?. Yes and no. That is, it is not likely that the auto will be wholly superseded but that it will have to yield to the airplane for all long-distance trips is sure. No one can foretell how great the growth of the aero industry will be, but there is every assurance that it will be as phenomenal as the auto manufacture. That the aerial tin Lizzie is a surety is the belief of many automotive engineers; the only uncertainty is as to who will henryford the aero. Flying requires no superhuman powers or abilities. Anybody can fly, except the poor fellows who get sick riding in a trolley or steam car. The few cannot stand any kind of motion, and of course could not fly. Yes, anybody can fly—if he has the price. What about the terrifying sensations of flying? There ain’t no such bird. It is just like sitting down in a comfortable rocking chair and then lifting it off the ground, and one is just as comfortable as if on the earth. But airplanes of the future are not to be confined to the individual or family types, for there will be excursion passenger planes and probably regular service between cities. It ought to be possible very soon for a business man to take a plane for Washington, lunch there, dine in Pittsburgh after meeting the steel board, and get back to New York in time for the theater, and excite no more attention than by a railroad trip today. With the uncertainties of flight removed and the cost cheapened, it is certain that there will be much business for the airplane factories and distributers. Auto manufacturers understand this and are preparing for it. The fact that every auto factory today is at work on aero engines or planes or some part will make it easy in the future to establish- the aero as a part ts-the automotive industry on a thoroughly commercial basis. The possiMities of the airplane in mail service are being tested now, and it is thought the mail route in years to come will be aerial. Light package transportation also will be aerial, and this will relieve congested railroads. Newspapers will have aerial service. Then, too, the places untouched by the railways can have the morning papers and be otherwise connected with civilization. The aero has been demonstrated as an aid to civil engineering in the war zone. Pictures may be used in platting inaccessible areas, forest lands'could be patrolled much more quickly and thoroughly by the fire wardebs. But the possibilities are too numerous to recite. Whether the dreams of some artists and writers all come true, and there are landing stages on every skyscraper and plane garages like those for autos, is another thing. But surely we are to have an age of flying. As the auto succeeded the bicycle the aero will succeed the auto. •«

Peace Will Bring Era of Tremendous Opportunities and Responsibilities

Peace will usher in a new era, which will bring to the United States tremendous possibilities, obligations and opportunities in humanitarian, commercial and financial ways. It will be an era of revivification, reorganization and readjustment. I. have no doubt that with the use of national resources of character, intelligence and financial strength we shall work out successfully the new problems with which we shall he confronted. The period just ahead will, in my judgment, be the most wonderful in our history. Our accomplishments therein will depend on organization and effective co-ordination. Greater co-ordination among-"the various kinds of business will be # helpful after the war, as it has been helpful during the war. I have in mind particularly banking. During the great war America became the world’s banker. It must continue to assume the duties of financial leadership. This will mean great things not only for our country but for our city. . V. ... Our obligations are both financial and humane. We must aid in the restoration, the healing and the revivification of the world. Our future will be a future of big things and we shall all need the get-together spirit in order that we may measure up to our responsibilities and °ur opportunities. Our financial position and our enlarged merchant marine mean that we shall be brought into closer trade contact with the entire world. This will mean that not only American commerce but American ideas of freedom and humanity will permeate more thoroughly than in the pas* throughout ali the world.

By FRANK O. LOWDEN.

Things were not going very well with us when the war arose. We of America were lacking in many things. We were becoming a little materialistic ourselves. We were becoming very fond of the fleshpots. We were thinking too much about the material things of the world. The old, finer things of life of which our mothers and fathers spoke were disappearing from our lives. Discipline was breaking down —in the home, in the church, in the school and in the state. Classes were forming. The old notion of brotherhood for which our
