The day for charily comes at a time when the American nation is rejoicing at its freedom from international war or internal disturbance, at the time of harvest awl plenty, when our blessings should impel us to the fullest and freest aid for our brothers who are suffering.

Four uiiflions of Lithuanians in the vicious countries engaged in the terrible conflict are in want.

So much has been printed concerning the distressful condition of the war ridden people of Lithuanian that it is scarcely necessary at this time to dwell at length on the details of fhe sufferings that are being endured by the people in that country. There are four million people in the territory known as Lithuania, which consists of the border provinces of Germany and Russia. Their cities, their home i and their fields have been fought ever lour times by the contending armies during the past two years. Epidemics of cholera, typhus, dysentery, tuberculosis and scarlet fever rage incessantly. Of food there is little; clothing has deteriorated into rags, in the face of oncoming winter; there are no stoves, though the forests may provide an inadequate store of fuei.

Physicians and nurses, could ihey be secured, would undoubtedly ameliorate the conditions but there are sections with populations of hundred of thousands without a single physician. Kcvno, with a population of a million and a half, has but three physicians.
