Colonel Haskell and the little group of Americans who were working with him are re- turning to America. They come by ones and twos, unheralded and .unac- claimed, as quietly as they \went ;yet, if America realized they* accom- plishments, flags would be flying, bands blaring forth a welcome, and delegations of the most prominent citizens would be waiting at the pier to cheer their homecoming. And being plain, .unassuming Americans, unaccustomed to cere- mony and heroics, the relief worker.\ would be tremendously embarrassed by the ovation, and inquire quite se- riously, \What's the big idea? What's all the fuss about?\ and some ot them would probably add, \How are the chances of getting a job?\ Just the same embarrassing question that the boys in khaki were asking in 19191 For almost two years now a scant 'two hundred Americans, on a battle, line far longer than the western front, have been .fighting a foe more pitiless than any the allied armies faced. From the Baltic to the Cas- pian Sea, from the Crimea to the Urals they have conquered the fam- ine, saved more lives than were lost in the World War, healed a sorely- suffering people of the diseases which threatened to sweep the whole of Europe, won the benedictions of a great, but stricken, nation, achieved the world's greatest adventure in hu- manity! And because it\was an adventure Jn which all America shared, it is but fitting that its accomplishment shoald not pass unnoticed, that the people by wnose generosity the great fleet of ships was fitted out, the farmers whose grain filled their holds, the vast body of taxpayers, the men whose contributions ran infco fiue or six figures, as well a.? those whrae means enabled then' to give only lea- ser sums, should know their gifts jvere not given in vain No one of the returning workers' can tell the whole story. He mav give interesting details. \I was a'* Kazan when the corn-arrived. Th- peasants eamo from distant village* to haul it back on sledge.i. They had no horses. The ice in the river Volga was breaking up. The nwh Were terrible. Some died before com- pleting the trip '• Or, \I was in Odessa when the famine was at its height, were bodies in the streets.

Instead of telling of one city or one district with its hundreds of thousands fed, they will talk of the extent of the operation in terms of millions. They will illustrate the freight movement from the Northern and Southern ports to the heart of the famine area by graphic charts they have prepared. They will tell how many million cans of milk wore ordered, how many consumed and the uso that was made of the empty cans and cases, of how many thousand kit- chens were opened and how the ra- tions were allocated months in.ad- vance, so that the children who dame to thf kitchen could be certain a. meal would bo waiting them. And down on lower Broadway, to- waid the end of Manhattan Island, in one of the skyscrapers there are men who could tell still another story.

Mr district fef So many hundred thousand children, is- sued corn rations to so many hun- dred thousand adults, inoculated so many hundred thousand, restocked the hospitals, provided food fit for (the patients, cleaned up the towns. The starvation was checked. The movement of the refugees ended. Cholera disappeared. Typhus de- plined. Things ara looking much bet- ter there now.\ The men who were at the head- quarters in Moscow, keeping the ac- counts, directing no movement of the food and the medical supplies) receiving and correlating the reports, fighting the battles for transporta- tion, fy adequate warehouses, * or freight cars and locomotives, for river bfcrges anq sanitary trains, will have a different story. It will not ica was the first country to respond. It offered to\ feed a million. It was feeding more than ton times that number day in and day out before the first twelvemonth had passed. It trarupjrted to Russia and dis- tributed there close to-a million tons of grain and other foodstuffs. A fleet of 237 'ships plied its way across the Atlantic, through -the Mediterranean, Baltic and Black seas, and under the direction of only 2*00 Americans an army of 126,000 Russians labored, anloading, ware- housing, hauling, weighing, cooking and serving that food. It was-food enough for one billion seven hundred and fifty million meals. Surely nev- er before has one nation set so great a feast for a famished neighbor! Is i t any wonder that the peasants. of one war-dev63tated and famine- stricken village, having no gold and. no bronae available, painstakingly dug from the log walls of their cot- tages leaden bullets and cast a medal for the American who brought them thfi food, lnscrioiag it, \I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat\? They might have quoted further, \Naked and ye clothed me,\ for the 'American Relief Administration purchased, and distributed in .Russia, close t o $1,466,000 worth of clothing, principally among the children, many of whom were so scantily clad that they could not decently coma to the public kitchens for their daily meal In addition to this it delivered irt Russia more than 400 tons of clothing: collected in tha United States by other organizations, t o sav nothing of vast quantities of bedding, hospital garments and complete lay- ettes. The pious Russian villagers might well have completed the text, \ I waj. sick and ye visited mo,\ for never was there a sicker nation than Rus- sia when the A. R. A. arrived. Ty- phus, cholera, recurrent fever, small- pox, typhoid—all were raging in the starvation districts and taking a tre- mendous toll of life among the peo- ple whose resistance was weakened by famine. Moreover-the movement of refugees was rapidly carrying these epidemics into every part of the country, and even across the bor- ders into the neighboring states, un- til Europe was threatened with a pandemic of immeasurable severity. . And the A. R. A. in its visit of mercy put of thoi came not, like Job's comforters, em- 1 a I pty-handed. Rather i t brought $7,685,000 worth of medicines and other sick room ne- cessities. It-brought a score or more physicians, skilled epidemiologists; it brought tho largest quantities of -serums, vaccines and other disease preventives ever ordered at one time. It opened free dispensaries, clinics, ambulatories, hospitals. It cleaned up entire cities; it purified water sup- plies; i t bathed, deloused, purged, in- oculated, vaccinated rich and poor, olo and young, not by tens or tens of thousands, but literally by millions —almost by tens of millions. So that in-Jtead^f there being 277,701 'cases of typhns ra Russia as there were in March, 1922, March, 3923, saw only 6,321 eases. Relapsing fever has been eliminated in the same propor- tion and the incidence of cholera is negligible as compared with last year's figures. It takes more than figures to tell the story. When Dr. Henry Beeuw- kes, as chief of the Medical Divi- sion, writes truthfully that since go- ing into Russia, the American Belief Administration has supplied upwards of 16,000 hospitals and other insti- tutions having a constant capacity of 1,039,000 persons, the task may appear to have been a monumental one. When one glances at the map of Russia and find's that these insti- tutions were Mattered over an area til-supplied with railroads and that some were ieparated from Moscow; the base of supply, by more than a thoOKind miles, one's wonder grows. Gut no ona Who has not stood tn- tho days of the freat amine, before tha relief otto* ?«n realize tha full measure of America's aefcievemant. Everything was lacking Beds wergiture- Sad fceen worth, wMle. often merely planks supported on wooden horses. Blankets tyere scarce, sheets were missing. Opera- tions were performed with Baru hands, in unheated operating rooms, without anaesthetics, and only too often without any hoflfe of aseps<3. Wounds were dressed with new- papers or wrapped in rags from th» patient's own all too scanty clothing-. Water supplies were polluted, plumfc. ing was beyond use and almost be-1 yond repair. Drug rooms wens empty of the simplest and most es \ sential remedies. The food was un-i speakably poor, utterly unfit for skVj persons and woefully inadequate in amount. Alen and women crawlcil to the hospitals to die, rather than/ to be made whole, and not a few! succumbed in front of institutions 1 that had no room for another patient.' America has wrought a transfor- mation here. It is useless to pile up the figures, but-a few may bo significant, Tho A. R. A. distributed! to these institutions a million and a half pounds of soap. Neo-salvarsan, which proved a perfect specific for relapsing fever, was supplied to tha extent of 700,000 ampules. The quinine alone, some thirty-tons of it, was valued at more than half oi million dollars, but no one can esti-| mate what ft was really worth to s country whose most prevalent dis- ease is malaria. And so the list: runs, through anaesthetics, aspirin,! bichloride, bismuth, ehlorinators, dig-j italis, ether, forceps, clear down to, zinc ointment, including all of the' best known items of the pharma- copoeia and most of those to be found in a catalogue of surgical instru- ments and hospital supplies, more than 2,000 different commodities in all, and in such quantities that the 125,000 packages sent on sixty-nine different ships, weighed fifteen mil- lion pounds. In distributing this, medical aid the American, Relief Ad- ministration acted as the agent of| the United Sfates Government and the American Red Cross. The sur- plus Army medical supplies were turned over to the A. R. A. by act of Congress and the Red Cross sup- plemented the Army stocks valued at $4,000,000 by its own contribution of supplies t o the amount of ?3,685,00O, while tho entire cost of transporta- tion end handling was covered by an Individual donation of $267,400 from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial. Altogether America's great adven- tuTe in humanity has cost her about $62,000,000. Everyone in America has shared in the benefaction. The United States Government appropri- ated, in addition t o the medical sup- plies, some $20,000,000 for corn and seed grain. The Jews of Amer-' ica, through the American Joint-' Distribution Committee, gave ?5,- 000,000; Catholics, Quakers, Menno- : nites, Baptists, Lutherans, Adven-| tists, and other Christian denomina- tions, through their respective organ- izations, swelled the total. But the distribution was made under the unified supervision of the American Relief Administration, It was made in a characteristically American fashion, without regard t o race, sect, party or creed, ft was America's gift to tho Russian people. An expensive present? Well, It may have been. It cost more than the mere millions. Two of the Americans who went to Russia are not coming home.

He was an inconspicuous member of the lower body .gf the legislature, and I was unimportant, too. It was a chance meeting of acquaintances, and among the trivialities we talked about at the time was the crowd of passers-by—the great throngs • re- turning at eventide to their homes. He remarked: \I always wonder as I stand' here how all these. people make a living.\ The serious- minded New Englander was wondering then about, the problems of humanity, *nd I have no <fyubt Hie (has spent a The American people will have tor get aqiiainted' with the new President Perhaps ha knows thent tetter than they know him, At -present the coun- try feels that the newt leader is safe and able. - His other qualities remain' to be discovered. One thing has been demonstrated, conclusively by the OBfrpouring of the people and the profound gnei shown as the Funeral; Train dragged its course across the United States, and that is itheir loyalty and love of country. Americans have been gen- erally, engaged in registering their kicks for the past half •dbs;en\ycars, but in tha days that have just passed they have registered anew at the bfer of a dead 'President their passion for haps all these \kicks\ have been •gen-'' jfcheir wonderful Government Per- erated by the single desire to make things better for humanity, but -wheth-* er that is so .or not there need no longer be any apprehension regard- ing the determination of the people, to stand by and suppont their Presi-* dent. All hands will uphold Pres- ident Coolidge and help him to suc- ceed. He starts with the Nation's blessing. Risks of the Wheat Market A persistent,iattempt is being made Fo diccredit the new law which gives the Government regulatory powers over grain exchanges. Four months ago wheat sold on the Chicago Board, of Trade at $1.27 a bushel. Lately it has dropped below the dollar mar-, kat. Grain speculators are filling the newspapers with \arguments\ and proofs showing the risks of the wheat market have always been carried by professional traders, who are now re- fusing to play at the old game for fear of Government interference with \ their manipulating methods. To give them full credit they make out a plausible case. However, the Depart- \ ment of Agriculture is insistent that selling wheat without running gig-> antic gambling operations will accrue to the permanent benefit of farmers, and the Government ifs detei mined * to get rid of the \bootlegging\ in marketing wheat.

These friends expect him to i roundly condemned, and the question exceed his father's estimate. There are, right now, big events on the President's calendar and the success or failure of his Administra- tion may already be in the balance. No matter what happens the New England Yankee may be depended up- on t o show strength of character and plenty of determination. He is like- ly to be \a fighting President\ Whether he will accommodate him- self t o the new political tendency that has made Congress \progressive\ is another matter about which there is plenty of doubt. The New England temperament is apt to yield slowly to new propositions, but .there is in these New Englariders a passion for justice, deliberation and square deal- ing. It is possible that the new poli- tical activities will run so fast that consideration. of unionized labor conditions abbre- viated in the discussion. The/Obm- missioit recites the- history of labor troubles in the anthralcite industry and makes it clear thaft the mine owners and the workers have made practically no progress in bettering their relations with the public during the past twenty years. The Com- mission wants drastic action on the part of the Government in the inter- ests of the public. Its recommenda-i tion to give the President power to \prevent a .general strike\ is taken to mean that in the opinion of the Commission the time has come for the Government to step in and dis- regard the bickerings and quarrelings of the coal mining industry; and to run the mines, if necessary, with the public interest wholly! as) the first \Johnny said his mother, that's enough from you!\ The boy began to pout, and said, \Well I was only goin' to say he had his arm—\ 'Uohnny, you leave' the rooinj\ said his father severely.
