Letter From Queen Elizabeth.

NEW YORK. September 1s.-Mme.

the men and women of America for aid
for the people of Belgium, where

Nine. Vandervelde was ill when the
vessel locked and declined to see in
reviewers but from her cabin she sent
the following statement:
Mime. Vandervelde, wife of the Bel
gian minister Of state. has come to the
United States from Antwerp to appeal
to the generosity Of the great Ameri-
can democracy on behalf of her coun
trymen-men and women-whose land
has been ravished by the horrors of
war through no fault of their own.
and thousands of whom are now desti-
tute. Thousands have lost all they
had-land, houses, farms, money and
the very tools with which they got
their daily bread. Thousands are even
without clothing and have become
wanderers and outcasts at the gates
of the earth
Will Tell What She Has Seen.
Mime. yandervelde wishes to tell the
seIf-the stream of refugees leaving
Malines during the bonhardment, the
rnurderous raids of the Zeppelins and
the; story Of the burning of Louvain.
She wishes to tell them also of the
sublime courage Of the Belgian people.
"A. few hourS before she left Ant
werp. King Albert of Belgium sent his
her good luck and to tell her that the
king approves her Intention of APP
oealing for help for the Belgian
refugees to the people of America.
Brings Queens Letter.
"She brings with her the following
letter from Queen Elizabeth:
Her majesty. the queen wishes to
tell you that she approves your project
of putting before public opinion in
England and the United States the
has inflicted upon our peaceful popu-
lation. Five of our provinces are
devastated and thousands of families
driven out of their houses, and are at
this moment without homes. 1t is de-
serving well of ones country and of
humanity to try to help them. Best
wishes of the queen accompany you tc
these two countries, which love to give
help to those in Distress
Implores American Aid.
Mime. vandervelde implores the
American people to help Belgium to
repatriate all these poor people, to
start them again in life in new homes
Their sufferings are unutterably ter
rtble. and hundreds of the breadwin-
ners-fathers. husbands and sons
have been killed in the war.
rs it not right and fitting that those
who can help should do so at this
moment Nine. Vandervelde is con-
WINGED that her cry for help will be
heard: that 1t is not in vain that she
is appealing to the American people,"
