DOLLAR CHRISTMAS FUND FOR
HOMELESS BELGlAMS.


To TIL Herald:
| am desired by our committee to invite
your carnes. attention to the enclosed APP
peal in behalf of the homeless Bslgians-
The Dollar Christmas Fund-for which we
crave the hospitality of your valued col
umns.
The extreme urgency of the cause, as
outlined by our treasurer, Henry Clews, the
New York banker, and the fact that The
Dollar Christmas Fund does not conflict
with any existing fund, will, we trust elicit
your approval not only in the publication
OF the appeal but also your personal sup
port by way Of editorial approval which
We now most earnestly solicit.
4 is the desire of our committee, all of
whom you will note are prominent repre-
sentative citizens of New York of national
reputation, to make The Dollar Christmas
Fund representative as far as possible of
the various States and to secure before
Christmas a sum at least equal TO that
now being collected by a similar fund IN
England. The whole amount will be cabled
to Europe and applied at Christmas for
purposes of relief after consultation with
the Belgian government.
If, as we venture TO hope, the cause for
which we appeal has your approval there
are two ways apart from the publication of
the enclosed letter by which you can rem
der u invaluable hclp-First by calling
attention To the fact that the authorized
Dollar Christmas Fund collecting cards will
be sent TO any responsible applicant, and,
secondly, that You, as editor, will under
take to receive any contributions from
your readers.
| remain, with great respect, with the
personal acknowledgements of Henry
Clews and our committee. Very truly
yours, PERCY ;. BULLEN,
Secretary Dollar Christmas Fund for
Homeless Belgians. 66 Broadway, New
