ti-iry to logis or reason. The wel
fare or disaster of Europe is refleeted
on our prosperity: its vulture and ci
vilization was the source of ours and
its present deplorable condition ser
iously effects our national life.
To rescue the suffering and unhappy
i ountries from their deep depression
and awful suffering is the world’s pres
ent greatest concern. Vo problem of
civilization so nearly hopeless has ever
been presented for solution. Yet it
must be solved. To this end the State
Governors have appealed to the people
of their respective States for eontri
butions. Extraordinary efforts are
being made throughout the nation to
provide food and comfort for thp three
and a half million babies in the fomine
stricken countries. In thos particular
the Governor of Alaska has recent!'
made a special appeal. He solicits
the generous aid of Alaskans to the
end that childhood may he protected
and comforted. It would be strange
indeed if Alaskans failed to respond
liberally for such a cause
A local committee has been organ
ized to arrange plans in accordance
wit lithe Governor’s suggestion. The
committee is already displaying ar
dent. energetic interest and are con
fident that liberal co-operation will,
assist their efforts.
The committee consists of the fol
lownig ladies of Nome.
