GERMAN CHILDREN IN PITIABLE CONDITION j STATESWOODWARD Conditions In Germany are very unfortunate, according to descriptions Iven by Walter Woodward, editor of the American' Friend..: Friday. Mr. Woodward visited Germany last summer. , - , ; Because of the needs of the starving children, who have suffered most as a result of the war, the American Friends Service committee, working in conjunction with other national organizations, are trying to raise $33,000,000 tor ... .European ,; relief. ; Herbert Hoover is chairman of the movement. Speaking of the need of relief, Mr. Woodward said: - - , "I am convinced, and more than ever since my return home, that people, including our own who are 1 upporting our work in Germany, are far from comprehending the situation there as it relates to the food problem. And, in a word, the situation involves

one problem and that Is the problem

or food. ... . -.5 . Germany Suffers Most.. .

"Havtai: .. visited Great. Britain, Frajxce.Belgitiia .and Germany, I am free-to. i.say: that;' of these., countries Germany suffered most during the war. This statement has been greeted with

surprise by Friends who have replied:

How can that be? German territory was not invaded. My first offhand reply made to such a query I believe to be sound and adequate. It was this: That the best test of what a nation has suffered, yes, the final acid test, is to be found in the condition of its children. Whatever else it may do or not do, a people will feed, its little ones if it is humanly possible 'to do so.' "By this test there Is but one answer, 'Belgium was conquered and occupied, but the Allied: Relief Commission fed her children so well that at the end of the war 4heir average condition was better than it was in Vre-war days. So I heard Herbert Hoover declare the other day. France was invaded and her northern borders laid, waste. ' The destruction and distress were great we would not minimizeit. But France as a nation did not starve. Her children today show that she did not. In the very desolateres, of the demolished villages, I found normal children, bright eyes and happy, token of a quick rebirth for France. Germany? No, I found no devastated territory, no spectral cities, no 'lovliest village of the plain' lying in ruins. I saw something worse pallid faces, mirrors of sorrow in lusterless eyes, fleshless. gaunt little bodies, crooked legs the ruins of little children."

Christmas and Abe Martin. They go together, for each year at this particular season, comes the annual visit to Richmond of Kin Hubbard's philosopher of Brown county. Mr. Hubbard, whose friends are numerous in Richmond as in other cities of middle west, has come for

ward this year with a compilation of the sayings of the rural Abe that are .

the sayings of the rural Abe that are fully in keeping with past achievements. The book has met with instant favor and has received high praise from newspapers. Age has not yet dimmed the mind of the ancient Hoosier philosopher, who must be getting pretty well up alons in the eighties now. He ' re

tains a keen eye for the follies of this world and a pungent wit in exposing them. If anything he is more alive, more up to what's going on than in the lusty days of his relative youth 10 years ago.

Talks on All Subjects. Politics, the burning questions of the day such as wrist watches, women's skirts, "white mule," the cost of living, artificial eyebrows and automobiles are treated pithily and illuminatively. There are more extended articles by such authorities as Dr.

Mopps, who writes on "The Fountain of Youth and the Beauty Parlor;" Tell Binkley, who has something of importance to say on "The Family Dcctor;" and Lafe Bud, who writes on the approaching recrudescence of whiskers. One page contains these words of wisdom: "Nothin' makes me as mad as t' hurry an' make a couple of eyebrows an' go t' th' door an' find it's only a peddler," said Miss Fawn Lippincutt.

GERMANS ESTABLISH SCHOOL OF POLITICS

- (By Associate! " i'l .. BERLIN, Dec. 11. A German school of political science, the dream of the former Chancellor, Dr. Von BethmannHollweg, long before the world war, at last has been established in Berlin. The dedication of the new school was made the occasion for much congratulatory talk by high German officials who expressed the opinion that a line of statesmen would be developed by the new institution to direct the progress of the German republic toward

I its former high place among the j nations. j Foreign Minister Simons in an ad- ! dress declared German statecraft had

always lacked trained leaders thoroughly schooled in political science and for that reason the people had had small faith in their officials. He hoped that the new school would help establish such a faith. Plans are to operate the school along the lines of the Ecole Libre de sciences Politiques of Paris.
