Not Forgetting the Pumpkin Pie. NEW STORY ABOUT PILGRIMS Writers Claim Early Settlers In Ameri ca Were Kidnaped Prom the London Virginia Company. Some historians, notably Azcll Ames, ?who has complied "The Mayflower and Her Log" from original sources, as sert that the skipper of the Mayflower was Capt. (Thomas Jones, a. rough sendog who had led a moro or less piratical career on the high sens. Be tween Capt. Jones and Slr Ferdinando Gorges and doubtless Weston, they al lege thnt a plot existed whereby the Pilgrims were deliberately stolen from the London Virginia company and planted on territory outside of the Vir ginia grant. The maneuvering about Cape Cod, according to this Interpre tation, was simply a part of tho plot to dlscourngr the Pilgrims from set tling ncnr the Hudson, ns evidently they intended when they left Holland. The exact Identity of "Master Jones" is not clear. Historians of the Massa chusetts Historical society say that the skipper was one Christopher Jones, a trustworthy man, entirely different from Capt. Thomas Jones, who was known to have a checkered career dur ing his voyages to Virginia and other colonies. The course of American colonial history may hove been jjrently changed when the Pilgrims encoun tered the shoals and unfavornhl o winds off Cape Cod, but this blt of destiny cnn bs easily exaggerated. It ls sufficient here to relate that tho Pilgrim colony was founded outside the jurisdiction of the London Virginia company. Welsh Belief In Witchcraft Witchcraft In Wales ls still In exist ence, as wns shown recently by a case which was tried at the Glamorgan as sizes. A Welsh farmer and his family, who were suffering from a skin dis ease, sent for a local wise woman, be lieving they were all cursed.

Other Instances of the same woman's exploits were mentioned, when for amounts varying from $600 to $1.000 she demonstrated her powers among credulous folk. Wife Took Up Husband's Outlet.

AU Saerlfled to War. - (Atlanta Georgian.) VThero are no ch i Ul ron In Poland under flve years of age, all having died from cold, starvation and lack of care. Those over f> years old are suffering from tuberculosis, and. a great many of thom aro dying. This report I received from hospitals in the cities that I visited."* The above is ono of tho startling statmonts In the story that S. Ger shon, of 22 1 Washington avenue, tolls of his recent visit to Poland as an.agont of tho American Joint Dis tribution Committee, which is send ing money and clothing to the deso late nations under the supervision of the Jewish pooplo of the United States. Mr. Gershon left New York May 22 and returned Sept.26. Ho brought back to A tin n ta with him seven of his nieces and nephews whoso moth ers had died during the ordeal since 1914, when the opposing armlos first began to ravage Poland. "Warsaw, Brost, LltOVSk, Danzig, and in all of the Polish cities one sees misery that ls beyond the con ception of tho human mind. I don't believe America, with her Indian massacres, wars and other devastat ing agencies, has ever witnessed scones more horrible than those wit nessed every day in the cities that I visited." Hardly Knew Hirthpluco. ? yiie town of Kobryn was the birth place of Mr. Gershon, and he lived there until he was 18 years old. When ho returned there the place wos scarcely recognizable. "People I remembered as wealthy and mighty I found bogging on the streets for charity. I could hardly believe that lt was the same city that I had left. The Inhabitants wore strangers to me. Most of those with whom I played and chummed in my boyhood days were gone, and those remaining liavo aged so from suffer ing that I could find no sign of re semblance lu their faces. The town looked like a cemetery-everything so barren, so quiet, without a sign of inddstry or normal life. "Jn ray estimation 00 per cent of tho [people of Poland are dependent upon, charity, and the other 10 per cent' are barely making a living. Thej? is.no such thing ns wealth. The only country that is able to go to tn?vr rescue is the United States. "Tne people of Poland-tho 90 per cent-are roaming through tho towns and cities, for there are no industries and they can find no work -half naked, barefoot, cold, filthy, and starving for tho want of a mor sel of bread. In Hip winter thousands of them will starve to death, for they cannot get wood or coal, and most of them are without shelter. Hogging for Food. "As I walked through the streets of the city of Warsaw I was besieged by mon, women and small children, who were crying, hardly above a whisper, 'Help me! Help mo! Give me a piece of bread!' Others cried out, 'Dear American, holp us to get shoes for our sore feet!' Still others asked mo for clothing, for anything they could use to relieve their poor, aching bodies. "That was when I dug down Into my pockets and gave those unfortu nates money and bread, clothing and fuel-and gave and gave until my funds were exhausted. How could ] ono resist the impulse to ^give all that was in ono's possession? A man of 8tono could not have seen their suffering and borne it with indiffer ence. "Brest-Li tovsk was even worse than Warsaw. It was a beautiful, growing city, with a population of more than 80,000 before the war and the largest railroad center of Poland. I found tho city In ruins, tho popu lotion reduced to .'{0,000, the homes burnt and nearly every building, de molished.

They also had $12. 500 for less fortunates who had no relatives in this country. "This was distributed in Kobryn," Mr. Gershon snld, "and 1 know that tho committee saved many hundreds of lives with these funds. People who would ha VC died of starvation were supplied w food, reliof institutions wero re-es tablished and now ones foundod." "The trip cost mo, personally, more than $0,000, which included transportation and contributions to my relatives, but it was money well spout. All tho assistance tho poor sufferers got is through tho Amer ican Red Cross and the Joint Dis tribution Committed. The Red Cross has branches in all of tho Polish cities, and tho committee has estab lished orphan homes, old ago homes, hospitals, schools and kitchens, where soup is served twico dally to children and bread to the adults.
