Duchess of Marlborough Sends
Another Appeal for Help
from American Women.

Another relief committee. this one
for the Polish war victims, was formed
yesterday at the home of Mrs. Howard
Van Sinderen, 500 Fifth av., under the
auspices of large number of promi-
nent people, including Herbert Satter-
lee, who presided. Nine. Sembrich
started the fund few days ago.
IL is hoped that the response for
starving Poland will be as generous as
that for the Belgians, as conditions in
the eastern field of war are even worse
than they are in Belgium. Poland,
Nine. Sembrich pointed out yesterday,
Is larger than Belgium, its fields lie
devastated for three hundred miles,
and its people feel cold and hunger
just as the Belgians do.
Cardinal Farley is one of the patrons
of the new fund, and has promised TO
turn over 10 il large share of the
money which is given to him 70 use as

jhe Polish director OF the fund, is in
the war zone of Poland, and will con-
fer with agents Of the New York COM
mjttee, who will sail in a few days TO
arrange for the distribution of the
relief
Neutrality IN distribution.
The new fund will be distributed i'm
partially among the partisan peoples
of Poland, so that no violation of neu-
trality will be committed. Persons
contributing may specify whether they
wish their money to be given TO Rus
SLAMS, Austrians or Germans. In view
of this neutrality, it is hoped to secure
the cooperation of the diplomats at
Washington in the distribution.
