Thousands of Women and Chil
dren Starving, American In

Ambassador Page
FRANTIC APPEAL FOR AID
ItOMK. Dec. 1!i.
vnillnm W. Howard and George T.or
lllard. two Americans who have been
Investigating conditions In western Ser
bia and Albania, have reported to Am
hascadar Thomas Nelson Pane that the
plight of the people Is desperate.
"Thousands of women and children nro
starving to death," declared Mr. I.orll
lard. "The towns are filled with ref
ugees, who are without food and cloth
ing. The roads ore lined with fugitives,
who are homeless nnd fa Inc-stricken."
Frantic nppenls are coming In from
Albania and Serbia. Recently n ship
took SOO tons of Hour to Albania, but
Jlr. Lorlllnrd reported that this was
"but a drop In tho bucket" compared
wiin tviuii ih nerueu.
"Help Is urgently needed right a way."
telegraphed Mr. Howard to the United
States Embassy.
"A tragedy the llko of which the world
has never seen Is being enacted In Serbia
nnd Albnnln, where tens of thousands of
fto'litjin women and children have taken
icftise "
O.irtnrs and medical supplies are needed
ps well as food nnd clothing, for an epi
demic of dlsense Is sweeping the armies
of lefugees nnd they are dying by tho
hundred.
An effort will be made to carry some
of tho fugitives out of Albania bv ship,
hut tlv steamship owners ask prohibitive
prices for ship charters. Several Amer
ican vessels which nre now In Itnllan
ports may be utilized.
Mr. Howard has been In Durazzo In
specting conditions In that region. He
telegrnnhed that he would be unable to
reach Scutari, where In addition to the
war refugees there are thousands of Aus
trian war prisoners who nre without
proper food. Many have already died of
starvation.
R. IX. Gage, of tloston, and C. RJUuck,
of Chlcngo. formerly members of the
American committee for the relief of
Serbln. who have lust arrived from the
Balkans, confirm tho tragic story of Mr.
Howard and Mr, Ixirlllard.
"The population of both nnllons is In
danger of extermination before the win
ter Is over." said Sir. Gage.

CHAMBERLAIN SEES
U. S. ARMY OF 5,000,000
Compulsory Service Is Urged
by Chairman of the Senate
Military Committee
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-A t'nitcd i
States nimy of S.OOO.OOO men In two years
was forecast today by Chairman Cham
her'aln, of the Senate Military Affairs I
Comm ttee. In n statement urging com
puWory service.
After going over his plans with army ,
officers the Senator estimated that 2.31S,- I
SSI men between 18 and 21 would he
tinlned under It the first year, nnd that
the Increase of those coming Into the '
nnnv from cadet classes would more j
llinn double It tho second yenr. There
alter the Increase pro'-nbly would bo In .
proportion to the Increase In population. '
"Compulsory service Is an Idea wo must
come to," said Senator clmmbcrlnln. "II '
Is nothing less than downright murder
for the nation to continue a plnn which
mav at any day send untrained troops
nJaist tho skilled veterans of other
nations.
"Tlie people must be educated to see
that this plan, or some plnn like It. has
the merits of keeping them In civil life
most or the year, nnd yet gives them
valuable mllltnry service. A French of
ficer who served on tho Maine nnd Swiss
officers wiin have studied their own nnd
this system haVe told mo It would give
a Nnst number of men who under skilled
officers could quickly give a good ac
count of themselves.
"I believe Hint In time the system
would lead to the abolition of the regular
army altogether. We would have simply
skilled officers nnd n Vast number ot
fairly prepared men. The Swiss have no
stnndlng army."
"The men themselves would be greatly
benolltcd by the exercises nnd training.
I believe the plan would prolong the life
of tho average American many years.
And with so short n time of service each
year there would he no danger of arous
ing 'the militaristic spirit' so called."
The estimate of ,".000,000 In two years Is
based on tie theory Hint GO per cent,
of tho eligible :nal6 population would bo
nbto under some pita lo get excused from
service.
Senator Chamberlain plans to give" ad
ditional tlunnclal aid to schools and col
leges which trnln cadets.
"Contrary to the traditions of America
and entirely Impracticable," said Chair
man Hay, of the House Mllltnry Affairs
Committee, discussing Senator Cbnmber
lnln's plan.
"This Is not only contrary to the senti
ment of native-born Americans, but oven
those who have como to this country
hnvo done so with the Idea of avoiding
what the Senator hero proposes. I do
not bellovo there are 25 votes for It In
the House. If t thought there was tho
slightest dnngcr of Its success I should
take tho lend In a fight ngnlnst It. Hut
neither In the House nor In the Senate
can It succeed."
