BELGIUM FACES
HARD WINTER
Relief Commission to Renew
Campaign for Aid-Food
Supplies Depleted.

The Commission for Relief in Bel
GUM is starting active preparations to
renew their campaign in the fall. Al
though during the summer they have
sent out no special appeals, they an
nounce that the worlds charity will be
more needed this fall and winter than
it was last year.
The bread line in Belgium IS larger
to-day than ever. The accumulated
supplies of food will soon be depleted,
as will what little grain the Belgians
harvested from their own crops. In a
few weeks the Belgians will again de-
pend entirely on the charity Of the
world and the activity Of the commits
sion.
A report from the London Offices Of
the commission received yesterday
tells of a great revival Of interest in
the cause of the destitute Belgians
throughout Great Britain. Contribu-
tions up to the end of July amounted
to about S2,50O,OOO, and Canada's gifts
added another 100000. Practically
all of the British colonies sent sub
stantial contributions
The following contributions 10 other
relief funds were acknowledged yes

Mr.. Martin Taylor, Of the City Club

1--WE use men on our committees who
have special knowledge. through ex-

not have this, so cannot see how they
would be valuable to the City Club.
Katherine Davis, the obvious excep-
ton, is relatively an unimportant city
official, of course. II she were not

The plans of the Woman's City Cluo
were briefly outlined by another com
mittee member, Miss Alice Carpenter
"We're starting out with the idea
that city affairs can be assisted by

for reform measures, but now were

at seems to me rather better to
have two separate organizations, but
nv reason is on the side of club life,

going to do things for this city. A
great group of big minded, active,
public spirited women can accomplish
wonders, and our hopes are very high
for true service
The point has been pretty generally
raised that now, at the very Tune when
women are making their fight for the

segregate themselves.
"But the men in the mems City Club
definitely do not want us in" admits
one member of the committee.
"And that's all right, too" says Miss
Rose Young, for if we worked to-
gether, the women, following the old
order, would be too likely to sit in
silence. All segregated clubs train to
expression. We can, perhaps, as
women indicate our peculiar cOntribu-
tions if we work separately. In a col
lective group of twenty bright men
and twenty bright women the women
fall into the old habit of silence in
public affairs, and only the brave and
trained women like Charlotte Perkins

says Miss Frances Perkins, another
one for social, just as the
mems City Club is-and under those
circumstances segregated club hap

run it ourselves, boss It. No club for
both men and women witness the Ma
tional Arts Club can help being more
comfortable for the men concerned
than for the women members, whereas
q segregated club for women, like the
Cosmopolitan or the Colony, does pro-
duce the comfort wanted"
Mrs. Henry Bruere said: "Of course
we want separate one. A large dem
ocratic organization like the City Club
would be unwieldly if both men and
women of the city belonged TO the
same one. We are only following the
example of Chicago, Cincinnati and
Boston in having two. am particu-

hold the great class of professional
and business women who are the back
