Quakers' Relief
In Germany to
End in Spring
Chairman of U. S. Mission
Arrives on Celtic; Tells,
of Millions Spent to
Feed Teutonic Children
400,000 Meals. a Day
- ]
Other Passengers Deplore
Poverty. Want in Ruined
French and Belgian Areas
Arthnr G. Scattnrgood, formerly as?
sociated with a trust company of Phila?
delphia, who has passed nearly a year
in Germany feeding German children,
arrived here yesterday on the White
Star liner Celtic, from Liverpool, ac?
companied by his wife, three daughters
and two sons.
He told how millions of American
dollars were spent in providing? hot
meals for them in practically all of tho
important cities of Germany. The money
was provided by the American Quak?
ers, with headquarters in Philadelphia.
Mr. Scattergood is chairman of the
Child Feeding Mission. He said that
Germany was getting along well, and
the Quakers had done much in helping
them.
Poverty in France and Belgium
Many Americans on tho Celtic who
had been through Germany, France and
Belgium deplored the poverty and want
they had observed in the devastated
area3 of the latter two countries. They
commented upon the splendid condi?
tion of tho German cities, untouched
by the hand of war, and predicted that
with the aid of other nations and her
own industry she would soon be or. tie
road to commercial recovery.
"The German government provided
transportation for our foodstuffs, the
means for cooking and supplied the
flour and sugar used in the preparation
of the meals," Mr. Scattergood said.
"German medical examiners selected
the children to partake of these meals.
During the last two weeks in June we
fed 1,000,000 children one hot meal a
day. Since then the number has been
reduced to -about 400,000. There was
a nominal charge of 25 or 40 pfennigs
for the meals, and about 15 per cent
of those fed paid nothing. The chil?
dren were obliged to eat the meal at
the feeding station?, and we saw to it
that they did not take home a roll or
other parts of the meal to parents or
brothers and sisters."
Mr. Scattergood said that the Quak?
ers had 800 feeding stations in Ger?
many and that the work of feeding
would continue unlil Easter at the rate
o? 400,000 meals a day. In Berlin alone,
he said, 125,000 children were fed one
hot meal daily.
Irish Players Arrive
Also on the Celtic were the Irish
Plajrers,who are to present "The White
Headed Boy" at the Henry Miller
Theater, opening Thursday night. The
company of twelve included Arthur
Sinclair, Sydney Morgan, Miss Maire
O'Neill and Arthur Shields, who play
the principal parts.
Another traveler on the vessel was
Gardner Emmons, who raced the yacht
Maid Marion, owned by John Parkinson,
against King George's yacht Brittania
off Cowes.
Mr. Emmons said the American yacht
was beaten because of the prevailing
hot weather, strong winds and the ab?
sence of rain squalls.
Among the Celtic's saloon passengers
were Mr. and Mrs. Robert C. Alston,
Mr. and Mrs. C. C. Black, Mr. and Mrs.
Hendon Chubb, Kent S. Clow, Miss
Edith M. Coyle, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
S. Dwight, Mrs. E. Van Iderstine, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry L. Stimson, G. F. Thew,
Mr. and Mrs. Andrew D. Sloan and
Mr. and Mrs. K. L. Wedgewood.
On board also was a group of dele?
gates from the Presbyterian Church of
?ingland to the Presbyterian general
council, which ?will be held in Pitts?
burgh September 1<> to September 25.
Among them were Lawrence G. Sloan,
of London; the Rev. Andrew D. Sloan,
| D. D., of St. Andrew's: Dr. Thomas Bar
i clay, moderator of the assembly; the
! Rev. D. Carnegie Simpson and the Rev.
W. Lewis Robertson, general secretary.

j ciety for the Control of Cancer, 25
i West 45th Street, announced yesterday

| of Malignant Diseases; Dr. Robert G
i Greenough, director of the Harvarc
j Cancer Commission, and Dr. George E
j Vincent, president of the Rockefellei
; Foundation.
"Some idea of the ravages of cancer,'
| said a statement yesterday, "may b<
! had from the fact that it causes ter
out of every 100 deaths in this coun
| try where the victims are more thar
j forty years old; that about 25,001
j deaths a year .are recorded and tha
' the mortality among women is con
! siderably greater than among men."

Throngs Honor Hero iWho Fell
In Battle in BergdolPs Place
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 11.?No great?
er honor could be paid to the memory
of a man than was paid here to-day to
Russell C. Gross, the young Philadel
phian who was killed in the Battle of
tho Argonn?. after having been drafted
into the army in place of Grovcr C.
Bergdoll, tho notorious draft evader.
Funeral services were held for him to?
day under the nuspiccs of the American
Legion in a West Philadelphia church,
which was crowded with former sol-,
diers and friends of Gross. Thousands
were unable to get inside tho edifice.
The body of the young man, in a
casket covered with flowers, was borne
! from the church to the cemetery on an
! artillery caisson and through crowds
I that lined both sides of the street.
Nearly every building along the three- I
mile route displayed American flags, j
The funeral procession was led by a
company of the 28th Infantry from
Camp Dix and included a detachment of
sailors, Red Crosa nurses and repre?
sentatives of virtually every military
and veteran organization in the city.
The active pallbearers were members
of Company E, 328th Infantry, of New
York. It was with this company that
Gross was killed October 23, 1918, while
attacking a machine-gun nest in the
Arpronne.
Gross's war record was a brilliant
one. Although decidedly under weight,
| he insisted upon entering the service
and sailed in May, 1918. When Berg
; doll failed to respond^ to the call for
j service, it left a place vacant, and it
! was to this place that Gross"was as
I signed.

Flying Boat HS-2 Ends
7,491-Mile Trip Here
???????
Actual Time in Air Was 102
Hours; Cities on Route
Promise Airports
Finishing an air journey of 7,491

Aeromarine Company, dropped to the
water off Eighty-second Street, North
River, at 6:35 o'clock yesterday eve?
ning. The actual flying time for the
voyage was 102 hours.
D. G. Richardson piloted the HS-2
on the entire trip. His mechanician
was R. E. Greisingor. Henry Bruno,
of 270 Madison Avenue, advertising
and sales manager of the company,
was passenger. A Boston bull pup,
Burley by name, was ship's mascot.
Mr. Bruno said they had encountered
1 rain and low clouds all the way down
? from Plattsburg, whence they had
! started shortly after 11 o'clock yester
? day morning. They made Albany at
| 1:515, had luncheon at the Albany Yacht

Postponed Until Oct. 15
| Hop-Off Will Be Made hy E. F.
Naulty From Point Bar
rou, Alaska
WASHINGTON, Sept. 11.? Recent
i changes in Continental weather con
i dltions have led to a postponement of
j the start of the proposed flight across
i the North Pole to October 15, Edwin
Fairfax Naulty, who will command the
? expedition, announced to-day. The
j hop-off will be taken not later than
?'that date, he declared, from Point Bar
i'row, Alaska.
Mr. Naulty said he had been in con?
stant radio communication with Alas
? kan points to keep close observation
i on weather condition, and was certain
, that the time now selected for the
I flight would give the party not only
i ideal flying weather but a following
i wind of at least thirty-five miles an
: hour, which would shorten the time
! consumed in making the flight to the
' pole.
Arrangements have been made, he
j said, for the transportation of a num
i ber of letters from public men in the
; United States to those occupying sim
? ilar positions in Europe. Thi3 mail, if
| the flight is successful, will reach its
i destination bearing the postmark
! "North Pole."

Cholera and Famine Grip
Armenia; Hundreds Die
Bodies of Children Are Buried
Without Any Ceremony in j
Trenches; Russia Sends Aid
TIFLIS, Armenia, Sept 11 (By The I
Associated Press).?Armenian govern
ment officials say they fear that an
epidemic among the hundreds of ,
thousands of refugees may complete
the work of devastation of this coun?
try. The Turkish occupation stripped j
the country of most of its available
foodstuffs.
One hundred and fortv towns in the I
occupied territory have been razed and
the homeless inhabitants are camping
in the fields. The government figures
that a half million people are home- ;
less and are certain to die during the '
winter before new crops can be har- '
vested.
Cholera is spreading. Children are !
dying in the streets of Alexandropo!, :
both from cholera and hunger. Bodies >
are continuously being loaded on :
wagons making their rounds in the
streets in search of corpses, which are
buried without ceremony in great
trenches. Moscow is furnishing active
aid to fight the epidemic in the shape \
of trains of box cars and volunteer

First American
Famine Survey
Brings Report
Relief Officials, Returning
on S. S. La Bourdonnais,
Describe Conditions in
Trans-Caucasus District
100,000 Orphans Hungry
Bodies of Victims Strew the ?
Streets of Erivan; Fuel j
Is Problem in Armenia j
Bringing with them descriptions of
starvation, suffering and despair four
Near East Relief officials, the first
Americans permitted by the Russian
Soviet government to make an unre?
stricted survey of Armenia, Georgia and
the Trans-Caucasus region, arrived
yesterday in New York on La Bour?
bonnais from Havre.
The party comprised Clarence D.
Royce, of Indiana; J. J. Handsaker, of
Portland, Ore.; Julian Zelchenko, of
New Jersey, and Emerson D. Owen,
publicity director.
The entire tour of the relief workers
I was made under the guidance of Soviet
\ officials, who, according to Mr. Owen,
; showed them every courtesy possible
| under the conditions and placed at
their disposal ever convenience posses
! sed by the government.
The party went from Erivan, the
j Armenian capital, to Batum, the Black
| Sea terminal of the Trans-Caucasian
j railway, and from there to Tiflis, the
j capital of Georgia.
Starving Children Beg Bread
The trip showed that more than 100,
! 000 orphans in this district are wholly
; dependent upon the efforts of the relief
? organization. At stops in the interior
I of Armenia the party was surrounded
i by hundreds of emaciated children,
! who blocked their path and made piti
| ful pleas for bread.
In Erivan people were dying of chol
; era and starvation at the rate of twenty
j a day. Wagons made daily rounds of
i the streets, picking up the bodies.
; Often bodies were seen lying in the
? streets, ignored.
One of the greatest problems in !
Armenia is fuel for the coming winter, !
Mr. Owen declared. There is not one j
stick of wood in the country and coal
is unheard of. Wood will have to be
transported 275 miles, and if the or?
ganization fails in its efforts to bring
in a winter's supply it is predicted that
4,000 children will die at Alexandropol
alone.
The only industry in Georgia that is
flourishing is the mint, according to
Mr. Owen. This has a capacity of
80.000,000 roubles a day, which is less
than $800 in American money, and the
presses are kept running night and
day.
Turks Massacre 3,000
News of a massacre of 3,000
Armenians by Turks, not previously re?
ported in America, was brought back
by the relief party. The slaughter took
place near Alexandropol, and was dis?
closed following the spring thaws.
The officials of both the Georgian
and Armenian Soviet governments,
which were created, and are controlled,
by the Russian Soviet government,
seemed extremely anxious to v. .n
American public opinion.
All hotels in the country were found
to be sovietized and occupied by of?
ficials. The house in Tiflis, in which
the Americans were entertained, was
the residence of a wealthy Armenian,
which was occupied by the government.
The owner and his wife were confined
to one small room of their magnificent
dwelling.
The wonderful transformation wrought
in the starving children by a few
weeks' stay in the organization's
orphanages was ?tressed by the re?
turned workers.
The Americans also visited Derindje,
on the Bagdad Railway, where 250
orphans are temporarily quartered in
former German warehouses, having
been driven from their regular orphan?
age at Bardizog by a battle between
Greeks and Turks. The children there
made their beds of German bags, fab?
ricated from paper, which the Kaiser's
troops had planned to fill with sand
and block the Sue? Canal.
Sends Protest to Red Cross
Admiral Bristol Urges That
Constantinople Aid Continue
CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 10.?Rear
Admiral Mark L. Bristol, United States
High Commissioner in Turkey, has ad?
dressed a letter of protest to the Amer?
ican Red Cross at Washington as a re?
sult of the report that the executive
committee intends to discontinue its
work in Constantinople.
As an immediate result of this ac?
tion. Admiral Bristol claims, 17,000
Russian refugees will be exposed to
starvation and other dangers likely to
grow out of the situation, possibly dis?
turbance of public order and danger
to American lives. There is an abso?
lute necessity for continuation of the
work of the Constantinople unit, he
declares, until the disaster is over?
come, and also until the refugees can
be gradually moved away.
