AIDING FATHERLESS FRENCH CHILDREN Dr. S. N. Watson Writes of Work of, Episcopal Churches in America. DONATIONS MUST CONTINUE French Writer Quotes Boy Bene ficary as Wanting to Become an American. There are 18;000 children listed in the organization known as the Fath erless Children of" France. The Rev. Dr. Samuel N. %Watson, rector of the Holy Trinity American Episcopal Cathedral, Paris, who is vice president of the organization, recently wrote to the Living Church, an Episcopal weekly published in Milwaukee, Wis., telling of some things accomplished by this society. Thousands of dollars have been cqntributed to this work through the Living Church. "As vice president of the Fatherless Children of France, I am glad and proud to tell you that we have now about 18,000 children on our pension lists to whom we give fifteen francs a month," wrote Dr. Watson, and add ed: "And we heartily thank the Liv ing Church for its splendid coopera tion And for its constant advocacy of our cause. "May I say to your readers that more and more we need money to ex press to France what is really our devotion to her splendid idealism? Let no one think that because there are big organizations on the ground here that therefore the need is over. It-is far otherwise. Doing Vast Service. "The bigger the organization the less is its possibility of helping gent ly the little things, the modest suf ferers. It is not that I have anything but admiration for the splendid way in which the big services of relief do big things. There must be big organizations to handle vast problems. But I want to impress on our gen erous supporters that we do a vast service of mercy that no one else is in touch with or can do. "It is not the fault of the big or ganizations that they do not and can not reach much of the deepest suf fering; it is simply a fact of the es sential conditions. When the elephant wanted to pet the fly it was not the elephant's fault that the fly was.hurt. It was the essential fact that the ele phant's foot was too big to do the kind of caressing gently." eG : you 4 .

E-73 In the system established for the fatherless children of France no con tributor may "adopt" an orphan for a less period than two years, the cost of such adoption being ten cents per day, or $73 in all. Lesser sums, however, may be offered, and are ac cepted with gratitude. These sums not specially designated make pos sible a work of mercy greater than if their object had been precisely specified. "Here is a copy," Dr. Watson wrote, " of a letter which I have re ceived from the widow of a French captain, whose orphaned children are being helped by the money sent by contributors to the Living Church Fund in various sums not specially designated for the adoption of chil dren directly by the donator: I have put together a number of these sums and have paid them over to the treas urer of the Fatherless Children to care for this family of wonderfully attractive children. lime tells what :did yesterday. morrow better :arting a Bank c~count to-day." inforeseen demands incident to humar. the power to predict the future bu: Account and fortify for the future, men to succeed.

CONSUMERS START I"RIVE TO LOWER PRICE Ol BREAD Washington, Aug. 26.-A drive to lower the price of bread was. started today when the American Home Eco nomics association presented the con sumers'"viawpoint to the food admin istration. In a brief to the committee on prices for wheat, they pointed out that: A change of 10 cents a bushel in wh at adds 50 cents a barrel to the cost. of flour. Only the very eflicient baker can produce a pound loaf of bread for five cents when wheat goes above $1.85. Wheat records of the past show that $2 wheat has not been quoted since the Civil war. The association declared that in creased bread prices are a daily war tax on the poor that may lead to bread riots and labor troubles which would prove serious matters. Dis affection is already apparent, the its sociation said. It was urged that the price to be fixed be not based on the "artificial" factors which led to the recent rise in wheat to points about $2. They pointed out that if peace were declared, or with the reserves in Aus tralia, India and Russia released, there would be enough wheat to sup ply western Europe and leave a sur plus in this country which would de moralize prices. Concluding, the as sociation urged an equitable decision on the wheat price, based on a concili ation of the interest of the producer, distroutor and consumer.

' 'TOTAL SUM $2,387,490,086 The United States Has Paid Out for Its Own Needs $776,990,086. Washington, Aug. 24.-War exj penditures of the United States, in cluding Allied loans, have mounted during August to more than $24,000, 000 every twenty-four hours. The fig ures, minus $100,000,000 just loaned to Russia, are contained in today's treasury statement. Two-thirds of the great sum is rep resented by advances to the Allies. The United States has been spending daily during August for its own needs an average of $8,088,652. The Allies have been receiving and average daily allowance of $16,375,000, incliding cash already paid and the new Rus sian credit, which will be paid short ly. The total daily expenditures dur ing August thus reaches $24,463,652. Total Sums to Date. Since war was declared, 140 days ago, the treasury has paid out a total of $2,387,490,086, of which $1,630,500, 000 has been advanced the Entente governments. Th'e average daily pay ment to the Allies during the 140-day period has been $11,650,000, the re maining $5,403,500 representing the cost of carrying on the government and war expenditures for the Ameri can army and navy. The total of $1,530,500,000 advanced the Allies thus far is less by $425, 900,000 than the total authorized cred its which, with today's Russian loan, aggregate $2,066,400,000, or more than the entire proceeds of the first issue of the Liberty loan. The remaining $425,900,000 is subject to the Entente government's cheeks upon the Ameri can treasury, under certain conditions agreed upon at the time the credits were authorized. Military Expenses. The cost of raising and maintaining the American army and of increasing the naval forces and maintaing the naval establishment has risen from the comparatively small amount ex pended at the time war was declared to the tremendous daily average, and is not yet fairly under way. Ex penses will soon reach greatly higher levels. A conservative estimate of the treasury daily expenditure by the be ginning of the new year places the total at from $35,000,000 to $40,000, 000. The Allies, too, are needing and re ceiving more money than was paid them (luring the first month or so of war. During the first eighty-five days of war ending June 30 with the fiscal year, the United States advanced the Allies $885,000,000. This was an av erage of $10,500,000 a day. Since June 30 advances have totalled $745, 000,000. These figures represent ac tual cash paid and (do not include moneys on dleposit in the treasury awaiting wvithd rawal by Entente gov' ernments. Our Own Needs. The United States has paid ouit for its own needs since it enteredl the war, $776,990,086, of which $74l1,1 5(,765 was spent in military and naval ad ministrative functions. The bill will be greater (luring the coming few months by manny hundrs'c of millions of dollars.
