Poland Relief Efforts Highlighted by Kellogg
Dr. Vernon Kellogg, former Hoover staffer, reports Warsaw led relief work in Poland since January 1919. Food imports from overseas via Danzig averted famine for four million people and daily meals were provided to hungry Polish children. Eight organizations form the European Relief Council to fund aid for eight and a half million children in Eastern and Central Europe.

Polish Gray Samaritans Aid 8.5 Million European Children
The Polish Gray Samaritans, part of the Young Women's Christian Associations, have led relief efforts for starving children across Europe. Working with the American Relief Administration, they run food kitchens and distribution stations in Poland outside Warsaw, many born to Polish families. They train in the United States and have sent thirty workers to Poland since 1913 to feed children, distribute clothing, and organize impartial aid, traveling between strategic centers to sustain relief through the winter.

Columbus Knights Aid Child Appeal
James A. Flaherty as supreme knight of the Knights of Columbus urged support for an international child relief drive. Barbhert Hoover, European council chair, opposed a national fundraising campaign, preferring to aid via the Knights only as needed. The officers stressed emergency aid for starving and sick children and pledged no separate national drive, focusing on coordinated relief.

Appeal to Americans to fund European child relief drive
An urgent call by relief groups led by Herbert Hoover urges Americans to fund food and medical aid for 8.5 million European children facing famine and disease this winter. The appeal emphasizes US leadership, local committees, and a two-to-one government-aid match, seeking donations through Franklin Lane in New York.
