YOUR TOWN^PHERE is history to the rippling¦*. stream of water that trickles, allthe hours of each day, through aslender sluiceway between the up-town and downtown subway tracks ofthe B. R. T. Tho stream is visiblefrom any of the platforms of thestations of the B. R, T.'s under-ground invasion of Manhattan. Ac¬eording to engineers this water isthe same which fed Collcct Fond andMadison Square Pond when great-graridpa was steating green applesfrom the orchards near the Battery.Taxpayers have complained that thestream is unsanitary, but there arothose who claim that the water is aspure as that of a mountain spring.

5,000,000 Jews. It is not a village, itis not a town, it is the backbone ofJewry that seems to be broken."Speaking of conditions in the Slavic

rcgions, particularly in Poland, Mr.Wnrburg says:

"I have seen photograph3 taken byMajor Davis, a Chicago physician ofthe Red Cross, recently returned to theUnited States, who pointed out tp mein these pictures children, some of themten years old, who were leaning againstthe wall beeause they could not walk.He showed me that this was the laststage of starvation and that within anhour this or that child on the picturowould drop dead. He showed mo theirswolien eyes, which I had never seenbefore, as a sign of malnutrition andstarvation.

Relief Method Establishcd"To relieve this starvation we have

suceeded in getting the food ship West-ward Ho to Danzig, together with thePolish national committee and our

commissioners, Isidor Hershfield, Ba-ruch Zuckerman and Mr. Hurwich,safely from Danzig into Poland, and,after fighting prejudice and all kindsof organizations, we think we havefound a method by which Jews andChristians alike in Poland will behelped for a few weeks."We find no animal in Poland that can

pull a plough. We find no plough. Wefind nobody working. And, worst of all,we find nobody in the mood to prepar©jfor the future which looks so uncertain.We find a roaming, sad eyed, desppn-dent mass of humanity, stripped of itshopes and fearing the next day, de-prived of Ideals, and just as ready todie as to continue its present life."No clothing is to be had. Thread,

needles and washable material aroneeded to take the place of the filthyrags, which are knotted in some dread-ful, makeshift way that exposes barebodies and feet.

No Houses; J.Ivp in Holes"At Brest-Litovsk it iooks as though

a price had been set for the destruc-tion of the last house ln that town.Tho refugees had returned after thearmies had passed, but they found nohouses nor livable conditions, andthose who insisted on remaining in thetown which had once been their homeore now living iri excavations andcellars."Can you talk of the period of re¬

construction in the face of these pict¬ures? My mind is still bent on puttingthe peopie in such condition physicallythat they will be able to stand up andhave the strength to think of doing thenecessary work to restore them to self-support. They are not thinking of itnow.

"They can scarcely think of recon-! struction whilo tragedies occur likethat in Pinsk, where, under the pre-text that a relief committee meetingwas a Bolshevik meeting, Polish sol¬diers, without investigation, killed fiftypeopie.

"It will be a long and painful op¬eration until the Jews of Poland willbe self-supporting, so that they canshare with the Poles in the hard workof building up a new government, onthe farms, in tho factories and in thearmy, if necessary, in large numbers,and in the trading population in smallnumbers.

Trying to Get Cows"The only reconstructive thing which

we are now attempting is to seewhether we can get somo cows shippedfrom the neutral countries, throughHolland or Denmark, so that these ani-mals can be used for t.vo purposes.toplough the fields and to give milkand if necessary to give meat."Can any one speak of reconstruc¬

tion in Russia where they are tryingto find rock bottom for a foundationfor a stablo government, where beforeconstruction plans can be thought oftho quicksand of Bolshevism must bedammed in?"

In concluding Mr. Warburg says thogreat constructive idea in the currentyear'a campaign is to urge the adop¬tion. of thousands of children orphanedin Poland and elsewhere. He adds:"We look to tho governments, old

and newly establishcd, to make goodtheir promises that they will look afterthe Jews as well as after their othercitizens; that in time the refugees ofthe war will be cured by governmen-tally planned enterprises, probably cap-italized by international loans to bemade to these different governments."

.Dollar Drive'Of Boy ScoutsBegins To-day

Pastora of Virtually EveryChurch in U. S. Will PraiseThem as 'Auxiliary Army'That Helped Win the War

Boy Scouts will hear themselvespraised as tho auxiliary army of theUnited States, which did much tobring about the victory over Germany,from virtually every pulpit in theUnjted States this morning.

President Wilson's proclamation,calling upon the nation to help in themembership drive of the Boy Scoutsof America, to open officially nextSunday, will be read by ministers,priests and rabbis. So far as it isknown, not a church leader has re-fused to xoice this recognition of theScouts' war service.

To-day's services in the churcheswill mark the unofficial opening of thedrive that is scheduled to bring1,000,000 adult associate members in-to the Scout organization. Officially,

jo^ will begin next Sunday and con-tinue for seven days."Big Bill" Edwards, chairman of

|the New York citizens' committee, yes-terday announced that everything wasin readiness to begin the campaignhere. The 300,000 members here willbe enrolled during an inte.nsive can-vass with tho slogan: "Invest a Dollarin Boyhood to Build Manhood," on thelips of all the workers.

Objects of CampaignAs set forth yesterday by Chair¬

man Edwards, the objects of the cam¬paign are:

First.Definitely to recognize na-tionally the Boy Scout movementand especially the achievements oftho Boy Scouts' nationally andlocally during the war.Second.To bring to the attention

of citizens of the various towns,communities and cities the vitalfacts with reference to its boyhood.Third.To intereat /churches,

schools and other organizationswhich have a point of contact withboy life, so that there will be or¬ganized whereevcr possible troopsof Boy Scouts.Every day during the drive a pro-

gramme of activities has been mappedout, which will follow the same gen¬eral plan of unfolding the campaignas was used during the Victory Loan.There will be speeches, pag-ants,parades, demonstrations in the schoolsand churches, and companies of BoyScouts will set up camps in publicsquares and parks to show the sort oflife followed while on active duty.

President's ProclamationPresident Wilson's proclamation fol-

lows:"The Boys Scouts of America have

rendered notablo service to the nationduring the world war, They have doneeffective work in the Liberty Loan andWar Savings campaigns, in discover-ing and reporting upon the black wal-nut supply, in cooperating with theRed Cross and other war work agen-cies, in acting as dispatch bearers forthe Committee on Public Informationand in other important fields. TheBoy Scouts have not only demonstratedtheir worth to the nation, but havealso materially contributed to a deeperappreciation by the American peopieof the higher conccption of patriotismand good citizenship,"The Boy Scout movement should

not only be preserved but strength-ened. It deserves the support of allpublic spirited citizens. The availablemeans for the Boy Scout movementhave thus far Bufficed for tho organi-zation and training of only a smallproportion of the boys of the country.There are approximately 10,000,000boys in the United States betweenthe ages of twelve and twenty-one. Ofthese only 375,000 are enrolled as mem-bers of the Boy Scouts of America."America cannot acquit herself com-

mensurately with her power and in-fluence in the great period now facingher and the world unless the boys ofAmerica aro given better opportunitiesthan heretofore to prepare themselvesfor the responsibUities of citizenship."Every nation depends for its future

upon the proper training and develop¬ment of its youth. The American boymust have the best training and disci-pline our great democracy can provideif America is to maintain her ideals,her standards and her infiuence in theworld.

Appeals to All Amerlcans"The plan, therefore, for a Boy Scout

Week, during which a universal appcalwill be made to all Americans to sup¬ply the means to put the Boy Scoutsof America is a position to carry for-ward effectively and continuously thosplendid work they are doing for thoyouth of America, should have theunreserved support of the nation."Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, Pres-

ident of tho United States of America,do hereby rccommend that the periodbeginning Sunday, Juno 8, to FlagDay, June. 14, be observed as Boy ScoutWeek throughout the United States fortho purpose of strengthening the workof the Boy Scouts of America.

"I earnestly rccommend that inevery community a citizens' commit¬tee, under tho leadership of a nationalcitizens' committee, be organized tocooperate in carrying out a programmefor a definito recognition of the effec-tivo services rendered by the BoyScouts of America, for a survey of thefacts relating to the boyhood of eachcommunity, in order that with the co-operation of churches, schools andother organizations definitely engagedin work for boys, adequate provisionmay be mado for extending tho BoyScout programme to a larger propor¬tion of American boyhood."Tho Boy Scout movement offers un-

usual opportunity for volunteer ser¬vice. It needs men to act as commit-teemen and as leaders of groups ofboys. I hope that all who can willcnlist for such personal service, en-roll us assoclato members and giveall possible financial nssistanco to thisworthy organization of American boy¬hood. Anything that is done to in-creaso tho effectiveness of tho BoyScouts of America will bo a genuinecontributlon to tho welfaro of tho na¬tion."William G, McAdoo, former Sccrc-

tary of tho Trcasury, now head of thoNational Scout Committee, wroto a let-ter to all of the ministers ln theUnited States in which ho called atten-tion to tho work of tho Scouts andtho plan* for Scout Week.

"Stung" for 911,600At Volpi Art Sale,

Says MillionaireJackson Johnson, St. Louis

Shoe Manufacturer, Testi-fies in Suit to Recover on

Alleged Bogus Old Masters_

Jackson Johnson, millionaire shoemanufacturer of St. Louis and. presi-dent of the Chamber of Commerce ofthat city, has been a collector of oldmasters for ten years, but he admittedyesterday ln the Supreme Court thathe did not qualify as an art expert. In1916 the shoe manufacturer and artcollector bought two canvases at a salein this city, one of which, he says, wasrepresesented aa the work of Rubensand the other of Van Dyck. He paid$11,800 fop the two paintings, only tolearn later, he now charges, that thepictures were only copies of the orig-inals, and that their real value wasonly $200.Mr. Johnson brought suit to recover

the money he paid for the supposed oldmasters. But he did not sue in hisown name. He assigned hia claim toArthur C. Spence, who brought theaction.

Foreed to Prove Own ClaimMr. Spence has not been heard from

sinco he entered the army in 1917, ashort time after the suit was brought,which has made it necessary for Mr.Johnson to reveal himself as the manwho, aceording to his allegntions, was"stung."

Beeause of his business affairs inSt. Louis, Mr. Johnson said he couldnot be present here at the trial, and,under an order by Justice Weeks, howas examined yesterday before trial.

"I assigned the claim in blank," Mr.Johnson testified, "to the person inwhoso name the suit was brought, be¬eause I didn't want to get the adver-tlsing and notoriety I knew I wouldgain here. Even an amateur does notlike to poso as a fool, you know. Myattorney simply got a dummy plaintiff,and if anything is recovcred it goesto me.if there is anything left."

Says He Is No Expert"Po you qualify as an expert?" Mr.

Johnson was asked."I do not," replied the witness em-

phatically.Not only did the collector not con¬

sider himself an expert, but he ad¬mitted that he never had seen an artsale catalogue before he attended thesale at which ho bought the allegedRubens and Van Dyck. Previous tothat time he had bought his paintingsfrom dealers. Mr. Johnson purchasedthe two repudiated paintings at thesale of a collection brought to thiscountry by Professor Elia Volpi fromFlorenco, Italy, where they gracedtho Davanzanti Palace and the VillaPia. He did not rely on his inexpertknowledge of art, but was advised bya picture expert.The sale, which lasted eight days,

was one of the greatest ever held inthis country, and the receipts were

nearly $1,000,000. Some of the buyerswere Joseph E. Widener, Otto H. Kahnand Henry C. Frick.

Others Bought. CanvasesSeveral art institutions also ac-

quired canvases at the Volpi sale,among them the Metropolit%n Museumof Art, Boston Art Museum, Minneap-olis Art Museum and the Rhode IslandSchool of Design. When the suit wasbrought against Professor Volpi an

attachment was issued against moneydue him from the sale. He gave abond and had the attachment released.A representative of Professor Volpi

in this city said of the Johnson suit:"I have been approached with a prop¬

osition to settlo this matter for thefew thousands of dollars involved, butwith Professor Volpi it is a matterof his reputation, and you can restassured when he airives in this coun¬

try he will establish not only his own

reputation as an expert, but by reasonof the long pedigree of the two pic¬tures in question he will show thatthey are what he represented themto be."

Endowment SoughtTo Reopen MedicalSchool at Fordham!

Trustees No!ify Facult? ItWill Be Impossible to Con-tinue Department UnlessMore Funds Are Provided

The Medical School of Fordham Uni-1versity, which has been discontinuedbecause .of a deficit of several years'!standing, may be reopened if the schoolauthor'.ies succeed in raising an en¬dowment fund. This was announced atthe uni versity yesterday by Dr. JohnT. Ryan, the registrar. Dr. Ryan madeit clear, however, that no immediateprospects for an enaowment fund arein sight, and the school will, therefore,remain closed for the present.

School authorities, Dr. Ryan said.!are now at work on plans to transferthe students to other colleges. TheState Board of Education is cooperat-ing in this work. Reports that the!students would be transferred to Co-1lumbia and Cornell were denied by;Dr. Ryan. Dr. Ryan said the entrancerequirements at those institutionswere too high to permit the transfer.Other institutions of standing nnd re-jpute, however, will be called upon toreceive the'students.

Deficit Reached $30,000 a Year"We have a deficit of from $20,000

to $30,000 a ypar for the last fewyears," Dr. Ryan said. "This deficitkept piling up nnd the general fund of'the university was utiliz.ed in keepingithe school going. This fund no longer!can stand the strain and unless an en¬dowment fund comes forth our medicalschool will remain closed."The following letter by tho trustees

of the university was sent yesterdayto the members of faculty of the medi¬cal school:"Tho trustees of the Fordham Uni¬

versity School of Medicine have de-

cided it is necessary to close theschool, at least temporarily."Ever eince its establiskment the

school has been conducted at a largefinancial loss. To continue, even onthe present level of efficiency, means alarge expenditure to meet the annualdefieit. This can no longsr be carriedby the general funds of the university,which have been greatly reduced byconditions brought about by tha war.In addition, a much higher degree ofachievement is imperatively neces-sary,if the school 'is to maintain a rankworthy of a great Catholic university."Many earnest but unproductive ef-

forts to obtain funds have alreadybeen made. These efforts will be con¬tinued and, if successful, the Schoolof Medicine will be reopened.

£*poal Is No Lor ,ca Essential

The Solution of the Coal Qiifstion Lies in tbe Boiler and Not in tbe CoalThe hard-coal monopolists have had thewhip-hand on the public for years simply beeause big usersof coal have not listened to the solution.

If you install the Kewanee Boiier in yourplantor your building, you will always be independent ofthe hard-coal barons. You won't care how much of a monopoly theyhave or what prices they ask. «

The effort of the newspapers to reducethe price of hard coal by roasting the monopolists is notgoing to solve the problem. But the newspapers can, if they will,point out the fact that if you use the right boiler you needn't care what kind ofcoal you use.
