Only Bread and Salt.

From all have read in these many
appeals, and all 1 have heard from
those coming here direct from Bel
GUM, I know that the words bread
and salt are burnt into my brain for
the rest of my days. And. indeed, all
the requests became SO imbedded in
the mind that directly one sees the
cargoes one instantly remembers the
places, which. in addition to bread and
salt. have asked for special things. as,
for instance: NIalines for milk or
Heyst and Blankenberghe for OIL
cakes. or Bree dimburg) for lamp
oil, or Dendermonde for clothes and
bedding; SO acute becomes the realiza-
place on the other side of the frontier.
This realization is helped in no small
measure by the sorrowful and never
to-be forgotten spectacle Of the thou
sands of refugees here in Rotterdam,
Rosendaal and Bergen on Zoom, cared
for by the Dutch government, with in
creasing skill and ever improving or
gsnization, In a manner beyond praise:
yet nevertheless homeless, destitute,
bereft, stunned and broken, with all
their bearings lost, and all their habits
of industry suspended.
1t is not the purpose OF this paper
to give a detailed account Of the Bel
gian refugees in Holland, but I could
fill many a paper with the pathos of
the haunting scenes, the uncomplain-
ing patience of the aged women, and
the kindness of the Dutch officials, es-
pecially the soldiers in the military
camps.

Children Without a Toy.

The commandant at Rosendaal was
almost moved to tears when he told us
there were no toys for the children

it for ourselves-this one solitary SYM

Lucey told him that toys should be

good things brought to Europe by the

And the same morning, when we were
visiting the Orn. we strolled away
from her to the sheds on the wharf to
have a look at the remainder of the
Christmas consignment, and to arrange
that Rosendaal should not be forgot

every description, and lovely soft warm
underwear and Christmas stockings

have their messages delivered. No lit

American friend who wrote, please

they may all feel sure that every Joy

Before saying a reluctant farewell to
the Orn, cannot resist recording
that she brought to Rotterdam some
thing in addition to her cargo Of mer-
CIV, something not specified in her
manifest. She brought a hydro
plane which she had rescued. together
with the aviator and his pilot. We
heard the story from the first mate. a
Norwegian. and though he pretended
to take the episode as a matter OF
course, 1t was obvious that he was aw-
fully proud of having saved the ma
chine as we'll as the men. He described
first how he negotiated the wings into
the boat-not an easy thing to do
and then he told US that. the men were
almost at the end of their strength.
There was some difficulty in discover
ing their nationality, and their rescuers
evidently got no help on this subject
from the airmen themselves.

Purposes Stated.

What the Needlework Guild of
America proposes to do is to open
workrooms where girls and women will
be kept warm through the day and be
given material to make into garments
for the wounded (of whom as early as
September thousands were sent to
Lyon), and be paid the war wage o.
20 cents day. Besides. we shall open
workrooms for Belgian mothers. where
they can bring babies and be given
materials prepared to make into gar
ments for themselves and their chill
dren. There are many thousands Bel
gians in Lyon-Soo arrived one day in
September.
How long these workrooms shall
continue and how cany can be opened
depends upon the help of our members
we are asking for money instead OF
garments because we want to give en-
ploNment to the starving women. and
because. by buying material at whole
sale rates in America, we get II at half
price. This plan enables us to help,
