UNDERFED ARE
GIVEN SUCCOR
BY AMERICANS

BERLIN, June 9 (by Associated
Press).—The American friends serv
ice committee now is feeding 100,000
of the undernourished children of
Germany of whom there are, accord
ing to estimates based on physicians’
reports, at least 1,000,000. Only one
tenth of them are being cared for as
V the committee can feed only those
seriously or dangerously underfed.
In a kindergarten at Schoeneberg,
a huge district where the Berlin poor
* cluster like bees, the correspondent
saw several hundred pale-faced child
ren ravenously attack the meal the
committee daily provides. It was a
ground-floor room with big windows
flush with the street. Every window
had a dado of swarming little ones.
They stood on the sidewalk peering in
with noses flattened against the win
dow panes, their big eyes eagerly
watching the children feasting.
Most of those on the outside were
in the class of merely undernourished
for whom no aid is available. Fraul
ein Margaret Barth, a well-known edu
cator who, as the head of the local
committee, supervises all the feeding
arrangements in the Schoenberg dis
trict, sighed as she glanced at those
wistful faces at the windows, and
turned away.
“On the first day,’’ she said, “ we
permitted the parents to come to see
their children fed. They wept with
^'gratitude- We didn’t let them come
again. They were hungry themselves
and their pinched faces were more
than we could bear in a place where
food was being served.”
Cocoa, milk- flour, sugar, rice, peas,
beans and lard are the foodstuffs sup
plied by the American friends commit
tee. Of the different menus afforded
the most popular among the Bedlin
children is a kind of porridge made of
flour, condensed milk, sugar and lard,
eaten with a roll.
* Sixty per cent flour is furnished.
Fraulein Barth spoke of it with enthu
siasm “Such flour hasn’t been seen in
Berlin for years,” she exclaimed.
“Crowds come to look at it.”
The committee began work in Ger
many the latter part of February.
The Kapp revolution and the conse
quent disorders in Saxony and the
"Ruhr greatly interferred with opera
tions. However, in Berlin, 50,000 of
* the estimated 90.000 to 100,000 needy
children are now being fed, and the
work in the provinces is being ex
tended as fast as conditions permit.
It is hoped soon to reach all the
most urgent cases throughout -he en
tire country. Germany has been di
vided into eleven districts, with Ber
lin as headquarters and the princi
pal substations at Hamburg. Leipzig,
Dresden and Chemnitz. The organi
zation is said to have sufficient funds
to continue its mission in Germany
until the harvest begins to come in,
about August 1. German crop pros
pects are poor, however, and the har
vest is expected to give only tempor
ory relief.
Every child receiving food has been
reported by a registered physician as
underfed. Political or religious con
siderations play no part in the child
^m’s selection. The food received
from the committee is in addition, it
has been stipulated, to the regular
rations of the German authorities.
A few weeks of regular feeding
makes a remarkable difference in the
appearance of the children- Little
ones that look to be nine years old
are actually 13 or 14 “grow up amaz
ingly” as one of the kitchen attend
ants put it.
In addition to children up to 14,
nursing and expectant mothers also
share in the committee’s nounty.

THE COMMITTEE.
The reason a lot of men work so
hard to pile up money in prosperous
times is that they know they’d have a
“fat chance” to do it in a lean year.
If you have reached the point in
life where you realize that you are
not as wise as some of the people you
know, you may be wiser than they
are.

CONSTANTINOPLE, June 9 (by
Associated Press).—The foreign sec
tions of Constantinople are crowded
with Russians who want to go to
America but cannot. Of the 40,000 01
50,000 of them in the city, at least
50 per cent long for the time when
passport restrictions shall be less rig
orous and they can flit to the land of
I plenty in the west.
Many of them have relatives or
friends in America, or at least say
I they have. But the doors of America^
are closed unless it is clearly proven
by the applicant that he is not a Boi
! shevik and will not become a puDlic
! charge in the United States. All the
| singers, dancers and artists want to
go to New York. But applications
I for permission are denied unless the
| performers can show an actual con
tract with some reputable manager,
j Serbia and Italy are the only two
i countries into which Russians can
gain admission with ease and even
they are very cautious about admit
ting persons suspected of Bolshevist
j tendencies.
There are more Russians than other
nationalities in the foreign districts
of the city. Russian commission
shops have been opened where refu
gees offer their diamonds, laces andj
other finery for sale. Big Russians
and little Russians, Laplanders, Si
berians, Georgians and Cossacks of
all the various tribes have been
shuttled into Constantinople by the
Red wave which swept them over
j the Black sea.
Hotels are filled by Russian bar
j ons, counts and princeses, especially
I princes, for every third high class
Russian in Turkey seems to be a
prince. Singers and dancers from the
| imperial theaters are in evidence
everywhere. They are so cons pi- j
! !
| cuous they can not be overlooked i
j entirely, but their efforts to gain !
! publicity, are not highly successful. j
The cosmopolitan population of Con
stantinople has had so many thrills
in the last six years that it is too
jaded to respond to the bizarre i
manifestations of artistic tempera- j
ment. Pale faced tenors wandering
through hotel lobbies, fingering;
strands of lavender beads, and evan-^
escently gowned prima donnas loaded j
with jewels and Pomeranian poodles, |
can’t startle a public which has had
so many years of war at its front
door.

MILO KELLY AT HEAD
Headed' by Milo Kelly, the well
known mining man of the Cook Inlet
country, a new company was re
cently formed for the purpose of con
solidating various mining properties
in the Willow creek district. Most
of the capital for the new company
comes from Anchorage business men

cate with sufficient capital to carry
on operations and that no effort will
Ire made to sell any stock.
As president of the corporation
it is understood that Mr. Kelly has
taken over under option to purchase
a number of quartz properties, in
cluding the following:
The Brooklyn Willow Creek Com

seven unpatented lode claims. The
Independence Gold Mining Company
which consist of five unpatented,
and two patented lode claims, and
mill site. The Kelly Willow Creek
Mining Company, consisting of eleven
unpatented lode claims, the William
Martin interests in the Free Gold
Mining Company consisting of a long
lease on 16 patented and 7 unpatented
lode claims, mill site, mill, trams,
cyanide plant, compressor, drills and
general mining machinery, represent
ing an outlay of over $100,000. It is
stated that the holdings of the com
panies which have been taken over
consist of 26 patented and 29 unpat
ented lode claims lying in one con
tinuous group in the very heart of
the Willow Creek gold belt and from
which practically $700,000 has already
been taken. Work will be started im
