A MODERN trust company as ex
ecutor is in every way superior to
an individual, for it combines in itself
all of the essential qualities for the re
quired duties and provides not only a
representative whose honesty and in
tegrity are unquestionable, but also an
organization capable of taking com
plete charge of property of every
description, real or personal, and man
aging it in the interest of its owner at
a minimum cost.

The American Friends' eivicc com
mittee, with headquarters at 20 South
Twelfth street, has been invited by
Herbert Hoover, chairman of the Amer
ican relief adminUtratiou 'or Europe,
to take full charge at tho work of
saving the children of Germany from
starvation.
Wilbur K. Thomas, executive secre
tary of the committee, this afternoon
will confer with Mr. Hoover in New
York city and bo over details of the
proposed relief work.
"Mr. Hoover gave the committee a
definite Invitation to take charge of the
work," said Mr. Thomas. "Wc have
not worked out any plans as jet. Wc
piobably will send from twenty to.,yiirty
workers Into Germany.
"The leader of the corps of workers
has been selected, but wc are not pre
pared now to state who the leader will
be. Mr. Hoover wishes to proceed very
carefully in the matter because there
are n good many people who arc op
posed to relief work in Germany."
In inviting the Friends' committee to
assume charge of the work and act as
his agent Mr. Hoover pointed out that
tho Friends already have begun the
work successfully, Furthermore, he
said, the Society of Friends would be
"entitcly bejond criticism or misunder
standing in such an effort."
The work to be carried on extensively
in Germany will be similar to that
begun by n small unit, including Jane
Addams, which crossed the lines after
the armistice with a message of' help
fulness nnd good"1 will, together with
$20,000 of foodstuffs supplied by Mr.
Hoover.
In a iccciit letter to the Friends'
service committee Mr. Hoover declared
child mortality in Germany is higher
today than during the war.
The plan in Germany is 1llsc.lv to be
similar to thnt cniplojcd in Austria,
where Mr. Hoover's tnmmlvdnn lins
been feeding 100.000 chlldieu a day.
The children, most of them under the
school age, go to central stations once
a day for a good meal. Nothing is taken
home and the adults do not shaic in the
food.
