I have spoken of the houses as “All is quit;- in the East; End)’ “stripped.” This is literally the case True, the streets are full of people, standing or strolling for the most part in silence. Even the groups of eagerly anxious women who gathered on Sun~ day and Monday at the places where bread and milk were being diitribu- ted, the bare~footed, ragged children assembling at the feeding centres, speak only now and again, and then in low voices and few words. Some of the children’s voices, indeed, have be- come so weak that one must stoop to hear them. Such quiet is awe inspi- ring; it is the stillness of'a folk made dumb by suffering and awaiting in a sort Of helpless hush further impend« ing catastrophe. In Rotherhithe and Bermondsay, in Bow, Poplar and West Ham, the scene repeats itselfâ€"the pavement, full of Silent men, the wo- men in the stripped houses, accepting the situation without remark beyond an occasional, “It ’s cruel hard on the children.” There are so many children to feel the hardship! Dockers marry young and ,have large families. In house af- ter house one finds a. woman surround- ed by six, eight, nine children. It is where there are several children under school age that 'the situation is most desperate; the destitute. school child gets at least one meal a day five days a week. I asked one small boy whose face of wistful pain will be a haunting memory (he might have sat for a mod- el of one of Count Ugolino’ssons in the Hunger tower) howlmany younger than himself there were at home, and he answered “Three,” showing me with his hand how they stood like lit- tle steps one below the other. Like many boys under a certain age, he was shoeless and stockingless. This is a common enough sight in the East End; when times are bad, a boy runs barefoot without exciting much com- ment. But it is otherwise with girls in ordinary seasons. Now they, too, are without shoes, and many of the smaller ones have scarcely clothes to cover them. As for the babies new come into the grim world, they would be in a sad, plight indeed. if it were not for the charitable hands that have sent garments to clothe them. From a single centre, on Saturday morning, there went out fourteen “maternity” parcels where there was not so much as a sheet to cover the bed where the mother was lying, nor a gown in which to wrap her new-born infant. I shall never forget the look in the eyes of a young fellow of about three-and-twen- ty, waiting to know if some such aid could be sent to his wife, who had just given birth to her first child. NO pro- vision had been made for her confine- ment ; none could be, seeing that this was one of 2,000 households in a sin- gle district of Poplar which for a fort~ night past have sustained life on four in many quarters in Dockland; but in some, inhabited by a -more refined class, the families of the “ permanent "” men, a tremendous effort has been made to avoid “ breaking up homes,” and their faces look even more wan and pinched than among the rougher sort who have sacrificed all other kinds of well being to the satisfaction of hunger. Payment of rent and shop bills has stopped so completely that it. i will not be much longer possible for- the smaller landlords and provision-' dealers to maintain a waiting policy. Many of them are themselves at the end of their credit and on the verge of ruin. Evictions have begun, and the pitiful sight may be seen of the last: few poor “sticks” on the pavoincnt,. and of a group of families, three or“ four at a time, moving miserably to» the workhouse. Things are bad enough already. But 7 they are going to be much worse in a . few days’ time, when the schools closer â€"--unless, indeed, the London County, before these lines are in print, rcscinds its refusal to continue feeding the ne- cessitous school children during the holidays. The councilâ€"or that por- tion of it which by a narrow majority, rejected the appeal Of the Progressives for the continuance of the feedingâ€"â€" might take courage and example from '. the neighboring council of West Ham, which has school meals, but for weeks past has given breakfasts as well as dinners to destitute scholars. On purc- ly economic grounds there is argument enough for the humane course. It is a costly saving that is effected at the expense of constitutions undermined and brains dulled by semi-starvation, of overflowing hospitals and poor law schools. But if men and women who. argue in favor of inaction in this; strike as a whole would go and see for themselves what “neutrality” is en- tailing On a population equal to that of a great city, and above all on the most, helpless portion of itâ€"the women and the childrenâ€"the economic argument would not he needed. Common huâ€". manity would speak too loud to he: gainsaid.â€"-London Daily News. - Socialism won’t make people good; but it will give every chance to the- man who really wishes to be good. At present the perfectly truthful and honest man finds it almost impossible to succeed. Socialism teaches that-the ballot is more potent in human affairs than all the guns and munitions of war ever manufactured in the arsenals‘of capi- talism. But the ballot is only potent for good when used with intelligence, In the hands of the politically igno- rant, the ballot is as dangerous as dynamite in the hands of children. . â€"â€".- YOUR SUCCESS-METER Regard your ‘B.
