RELIEF WORK IS
(Hy Associated Press Correspondence)
NEW YORK, Feb. 1 The enlist
ment of 20.0tm.tmi) children of the
United States in an army of helpful
ness to relieve the suffering both in
this country and Europe, is the pur
pose of a movement which is an
nounced here by a committee of ed
ucators of nation-wide reputation. Ii
includes Charles W. Elliot, president
emeritus of Harvard University, Da
vid Star Jordan, president of the Na
tlonal Educational Association, and
Richard Mchaurin, president of the
Massachusetts Institute of Teelmolo
tty.
It is the belief of those interested
in the plan that evil influences in the
schools of the United States are aris
ing from the war. “Influences of ly
ing, hatred and murder are moulding
the lives of America's 20,000,000 chil
dren," says an announcement of the
committee's plans, “which tend to
crush out truth, justice and love. As
a nation we are evading our respons
ibilities in not seriously attempting to
counteract these evil influences.
“In many of our schools we even
sums out of school fiours; the manu
failure of useful gifts hy hoys in innu
uni training classes; and one day each
week devoted by all girls In sewing
ns a part of their school work.
ALASKA'S HEALTH RESORT

"The rooms are heated hy the water
from the springs and the temperature
is always warm. Baths may he had

I wish my voice was big enough to

that everyone could hear. One

STOOD BY GUNS [
UNTIL ANNIHILATE
(fly Associated Press Correspondence)
I’KTHOGUAD. Jan. .11 Tribute Is
paid lo the German artillerymen in
an account of a minor incident during
the fighting west of Warsaw.
"The Russians were on the defen
Hive, with the Germans opening up
a wide attack upon their positions.
A german battery of six guns was
moved out into an open field to shell -
the Russian trenches.
“Very coolly the Germen artillery
men went about their work, although
they must have known that we would
soon make it hot for them. Our ob
servers soon got their range and the
third shell fired from our batteries
on (lie left destroyed three of the
German guns, killing fully one half
the entire German force of artillery
men. The others sought shelter, but
quickly returned and brought the re
maining three guns into action against
our trenches again.
“They had only time to fire two
rounds when another shell from our •[
battery smashed two more guns, do
stroying their crews.
"Rut those artillerymen had been :::
given their orders, and their bravery :ji
was dauntless. The survivors, af $
ter a short interval, returned to their
single remaining gun. and kept it go jij
ing until another Russian shell laid
it low."
forbid any discussion of tHo war. We
cannot, however, hide Ibis war front
our children nor keep its destructive
influences front their lives.
"With the nation wide relief move
ment of our children we can turn their
minds from destructive murder to
helpful life giving and build on Ihe
terrible need the strongest, most help
ful race of men and women the world
has ever known.
“The school children are organized,
and can begin immediately on relief
work. They can raise at least one
million dollars without burden on any
one as the fund will be raised in small
sums—the people's gift through their
children. They can make millions of
needed articles of clothing and other
things. Working shoulder to shoul
der to offset the influences of organ
ized murderous warfare they will feel
the quickening helpful impulse of their
great life-giving organization—a
mighty impulse in their lives and a
great example to the world. They
will do more to establish international
peace and good will based on kindly
acts than years of diplomacy and
peace conferences.”
The plan announced is that each
child earn or make what he gives, or
give from what he has, that he may
feel that he has worked or sacrificed
to help. The fund is to be known as
the “Children of America's Fund,”
which boards of education, superinten
dents, teachers and others are urged
to address at Oak Hill, Newton Cen
ter, Mass., for working details.
One-half o fthe fund is to be used
to relieve local suffering, and will be
distributed through fiome chari()e»i
as far as possible. The other half
will be distributed to the sufferers in
Kurope by the national committee.
Arrangements have been arranged for
the free transportation to Belgium
of all gifts of non-perishable food or
new clothing in packages weighing
twenty pounds or more.
It is announced that the plans for
carrying out the movement have been
bimed on suggestions received from
over 6,000 practical educators. They
call for free use of the public school
buildings for entertainments to raise
funds; the cooperation of teachers in
getting the children to earn small

LEGAL COMPLICATIONS
I By Associated Press Correspondence)
PAHIS, Feb. 1—Legal procedure in
France has been disorganized by the
war. Lawyers and witnesses in many
civil suits are at the front; many of
them have fallen in battle and no one
can now anticipate the extent to which
cases may be confused by the disap
appearance of parties as well as wit
nesses and attorneys.
Maitre Chenu, the eloquent attorney
lor the Calmette family in the Call
laux ease, and former chief of the
order of avocats of the Parisian liar,
says that death certificates are such
an essential element in all legal pro
cedure concerning inheritances, and
there have been already, and will be
so many more, unknown dead, that
the number of probable tangled es
tates is incalculable.
“For the moment,” Maitre Chenu
adds, “judicial life in France is al
most entirely interrupted and will con
tinue to languish until the end of
hostilities. We don's regret ie. Legal
quarrels would seem to us to be an at
tack upon the sacred pact of union
that the war has sealed between all
the citizens of France.”
The business of civil courts is al
most entirely confined to the seques
ration of the property of German and
\ustrian subjects and the list, already
long, grows every day, showing that
the number established in business
in France was far underestimated. In
stead of the 20,000 sequestrations anti,
cipated the number may reach nearer
50,000.
The practical suspension of court
proceedings gives Maitre Chenu leis
ure to use his pen and in the Paris
ian press he is sparing no effort to de
fend the justice of the French cause.

“PUCK” TRIES AN
UNIQUE EXPERIMENT
Of all peridoicals of national influ
ence, none has been more steadfast in
its support of the cause of suffrage
than Puck, the famous humorous
weekly: and the announcement now
comes thnt the publishers of this cele
brated periodical have turned the en
lire direction of their issue of Febru- ♦
aur 20ih ion sale February 16th) over f
to the suffrage party. J
The number will be in charge of an f
editorial board of prominent suffrag t
ists composed of Mrs. Carrie Chapman t
Catt, Mrs. Norman DeR. Whitehouse. I
Mrs. Anne O' Hagan Shinn, Mrs. Mar i
garet Ayer Cobb and Mrs Alice Otter 4
Miller. These leaders have in turn 4
enlisted the editorial support of some 1
of the greatest literary and artistic 4
celebrrities of the day. including ♦
George Ade, If. 1,. L. Goldberg. Richard j j
Le Gallienne, Norman llapgood, Peter 1
Finley Dunne, Charles Hanson, To.. j J
Gertrude Atherton, "F. P. A.," James 1
lluneker. Irvin Cobb, John Kendrick 4
Bangs. Wallace Irwin, Julian Street. 4
and a host of others. Unquestionably, j
the number will carry contributions J
from the most brilliant galaxy of liter- -
ary “stars" ever assembeld in a single
issue of an American periodical.
Local suffrage leaders are enthusias
tic over winning the support of a na
tonal periodical to the extent of con
trolling its editorial destines for a
special issue, and a number of comely
young suffragists will sell the issue
on the streets, recognizing its power
ful propaganda posiblllties.
Newsdealers declare that the ad
vance orders for the number indicate
an enormous interest in the suffrage
movement, and they anticipate no lit
tie dittlcul y in supplying the greatly
increased demand for the Suffrage
Number of Puck.
“So far as 1 know," writes the editor
of Puck to the Times "no other peri- ■
odical of national scope has ever do
nated an entire edition to the cause of |
equal suffrage, and we are proud to
say that this number Is the most bril
liant we have ever turned out.”
