RELIEF FOR EUROPE URGED BY NICHOLSON HERE FOR MEETING ' S. E. Nicholson returned to his home in Richmond Friday morning from New York to attend the meetiing of the executive committee of the Friends Five Years meeting. Mr. Nicholson is temporarily in the New York office of the European Relief council, of which Herbert Hoover is chairman, to represent the American Friends Service committee as one of the eight organizations composing the council. The others are the American Relief administration, the American Red Cross, the Federal Council of Churches, Knights of Columbus, Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A., and the Jewish Joint Distribution committee. Mr. Nicholson attended- the thousand-guest dinner given at the Hotel Commodore on Wednesday night by Mr. Hoover, General Pershing and exSecretary Franklin K. Lane, and reports that the most notable of the addresses was that of General Pershing, in which, after warmly commending the relief movement, he declared at some length for great reduction in armament as a practical means of bringing permanent peace to the world. Per6hing Speaks A significant feature of the dinner, which was attended by hundreds of the most prominent wealthy men and women of New York who have contributed thousands of dollars to the European relief fund, was the menu, which wa3 typical of the food being served to the starving; European children, and consisted of Vice, cocoa and plain bread, served in the plainest of dishes on rough pine board tables. At the tabla on the honor guest platform between Mr. Hoover and General Pershing was placed a vacant

high-back chair to represent the invisible guests of European needy children, for whom the funds being collected furnish the food to keep the children alive. Mr. Nicholson emphasized the fact that f 10 of American money will keep alive one needy chilcL of eastern and central Europe until the next harvest, when it is expected that this form of relief can cease. The governments where relief is being administered are required to furnish what food supplies they can to balance the ration sent over from here and also free transportation within their respective countries, as well as the labor necessary to prepare the food and deliver it to the children. The American agencies merely superintend the preparation and distribution through local channels, after they have first organized the system in the various cities and feeding centers. States Organized All the states, except two of the far west mountain states, have been organized with a chairman and treasurt j - i I a a rfe1-h In

t?r ftuli a emit? vvjmLUitttrc, H n li " each state is rapidly extending the organization fot gathering funds to the counties and communities. This organization has even extended to s A'aska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. The urgent call of Mr. Hoover, Mr. Nicholson said, is for $33,000,000 to feed and care for 3,500,000 children of eastern and central Europe who, without this help, probably will die before the next harvest. Of this

amount. 25 percent will go to the Red! '! Cross for medical supplies and service for these waifs: the remaining 75 per

cent going for food for these children. Many inquiries have come, Mr. Nicholson stated, for evidences of the need in these countries. Investigation has , been made by Mr. Hoover's agents, by the Red Cross, by the Federal Council of Churches, by the Friends, the Jews and others, and all agree that Mr. Hoover has under-stated rather than over-stated the appalling need. Mr. Nicholson expressed the hope that Wayne county will measure up to this appeal as it has always done in every time of crisis. He will re

turn to New York the first of next week to remain until about the middle of January, when the work of the council at the central office probably will be largely over.

CITIZENS OF INDIANA MUST MAKE SCHOOLS EQUAL TO OTHER STATES, PLEADS SPEAKER

"Citizens of Indiana must make their state educational institutions equal with those of surrounding states if the Hoosler state is to remain in the front ranks of education." declared Dr. B. D. Myers, bead of the Indiana University School of Medicine, speaking last night to -a meeting of the alumni of Indiana and Purdue universities and the State Normal at the Knights of Pythias Temple. He added that several years ago Indiana caught the vision of progress in education and held a front position but In the past five years it had relinquished its honors to the state-supported universities in the surrounding states. Dr. Myers emphasized the need of a seven cent levy to enable the three state educational institutions to regain their position and keep a pace with the progress in education. He asserted that the budgets available in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan and Ohio were from two to three times greater than that of the Hoosier institutions. He added that the proposed seven cent levy would become effective in July, 1922 if the coming session of the state legislature authorized it. Class Rooms Crowded. "During the past 10 years no clas rooms have been built at Indiana university and the enrollment has almost doubled in that period," asserted the speaker. "And I believe the. same is true of Purdue university and the State Normal schools at Terre Haute and Muncie. At Indiana they are holding classes in the attic and basements of the buildings and whenever a room is unoccupied for a few minutes it is used for a class room. "Twenty per cent additional number of faculty members are needed at the Hoosier state educational institutions to make them on the average with the faculties in the state-supported institutions in surrounding states. New buildings and equipment are needed so that he students may obtain the best possible instruction. Various clinics and hospital facilites are needed for the medical school," the speaker pointed out. Other States Are Rivals. Dr. Myers emphasized the point that the citizens in the surrounding states had met the educational crisis with more public support ard that the people Of Indiana would likewise urge that a levy sufficient to maintain the rchools be authorized bv the state Ipgislature. He added that Indiana had produced more men of ability and special scientific and educationa1 train-

! ing than were now in the Hoosier state 1 because other states had been able to

offer the men and women better opportunities than in their native state. Dr. S. E. Smith, of this city, asserted that each year hundreds of Hoosier young men and women were leaving their native state to obtain their education in the state supported universities of Illinois, Michigan. Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ohio because these states had met the educational crisis with more liberal support. Must Have Strong Schools. "These Hoosier men and women are being trained under the viewpoint of the state wherein they are attending the state universities instead of absorbing the good wholesome. Hoosier atmosphere and ideas," Dr. Smith said. "And in many cases when once they leave the state they never return. We trust have a strong school of medicine so that there will be a sufficient number of physicians trained each year." Denver Harlan, president of the

Indiana University Alumni association in Wayne county, presided at the

meeting and introduced Dr. Myers and J

Dr. Smith. Mr. Harlan emphasized the point that It was good business Tor the state to provide adequately for the maintenace and operation of her institutions of higher learning. He pointed cut that in the past sufficient levies had not been given the institutions, but that the citizens of the state would see that the schools received sufficient levies. Mr. Harlan and Dr. L. F. Ross were appointed as a committee to arrange a joint meeting of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs of Richmond to discuss the educational institutions. Speakers from Indiana university, Purdue university and the State Normal will attend the proposed joint meeting.

It Is believed that the man cams to Oxford on last night's train for the express purpose' of picking up a little easy money, but that bis nerve failed him. Corn and Poultry Show. Farmers in the vicinity of this village, and merchants of the town, are planning a corn and poultry show to be given about the middle of January. A meeting has been called for Monday evening, at which preliminary arrangements are to be made. It is believed by those interested in the project that an abundance of premiums can be secured from the business men of the town to make it worth while for the farmers to bring in their products. It is also planned to import several prominent speakers while the show is in progress, and to have addresses on poultry raising and farming.

STRANGER HOLDS UP CITIZENS AT OXFORD OXFORD, O., Dec. 31. The first hold-up attempts of the season were reported here late Wednesday night. A stranger alighted from a Cincinnati

train, and a few minutes later held-up !

H. S. Thobe, contractor, who also had been a passenger on the train. Thobe turned and ran back to the railway station. Within 10 minutes Mrs. E. H. Lafferty. who had just returned from Cincinnati, was held up within three blocks of the first scene. She screamed and the man ran. In both cases the hold-up artist pointed a gun at his proposed victims. Thobe says the would-be-robber snapped the gun at him. From descriptions given, police believe the same man attempted both jobs. Yesterday morning Thobe was drivingto Hamilton, and saw a man on the pike whom he recognized as the hold-up man. Thobe gave the fellow a "lift," intending to turn him over to the police when Hamilton was reached. But the fellow jumped from the machine in the outskirts of Hamilton,
