BOYS GET OVERCOATS::
HATS AND SHOES. TOO

From four to fourteen were the ages
OF the little fellows who trooped into
the store Of Saks & Co. today for their
annual presents-coats hats and shoes.
A big policeman lined them up and an
employe received cards given them by
the Associated Charities.
They came in singles and twins, with
happy faces and curious expressions.
Morris. three years old. and Benny,
aged five, came right UP to the front
in military style and let their wants
be known. When told to move along
and get his outfit Morris grunted Got
Je" and in a jiffy was admiring the
set of his new coat. Benny was not
far behind his younger brother, and
when equipped he strolled to a looking
glass. where he expressed complete
satisfaction with his form-fitting gar.
ment.
Cowboy suits were sought by some
in addition to the other furnishings,
and the noise of new pairs of shoes
was heard frequently.
Many youngsters were accompanied
by their mothers or fathers, and in
some instances a lad strolled in with
his little sister as his guardian.
Those assisting Isaac Cans in the
distribution were L. L. Crandell, Mr..
Leason, Mr.. Grace, George S. Daniel,
Charles Hoover. L. Bancroft, A. Rosen-
burg, A. H. Gass, W. Atwill, S. L. Phil

TERMED AN INHUMAN ACT.
Miss Boardman Quoted as Denounc
inp British Order in Council.

NEW YORK, December 25.-The
American prints the following today
as coming from Miss Mabel Boardman
Of the American Red Cross:
This latest decree of the British
privy council. in prohibiting the dis
patch OF relief supplies OF any sort to
Germany and her allies. Is the most in
human act Of the war. 1t Is a crime
against humanity.
I'VE shall appeal to the chief execu-
tive and the State Department to have
this order rescinded- Ever since the
beginning of the war we have had
trouble in regard to sending relief
supplies not only to Germany, but to
other countries-some Of them Great
Britain's allies.
Great Britain's decree prohibiting
the sending OF rubber goods to Ger
many prevents the supplying OF the
field and emergency hospitals with rub
Der gloves and rubber materials, SO es-
sential in hospital work. Hundreds
have died Of Infection. Some have
been physicians and nurses. The latter
included some volunteer Red Cross
workers from America
we are acting for humanity. but
God knows what the English are actin 6
for.
I'VE shall continue to send relief ma
terial to Great Britain"

ment as to Passing Hos
pitaI Supplies.

A statement has been issued by the
British embassy here denying that Great
Britain had extended to hospital supplies
of all kinds it's prohibition against the
shipment to the Teutonic countries Of
such supplies made Of rubber. The state
ment follows:
"A statement has been published in the
press to the effect that Great Britain
has suspended the issuance of permits for
shipment of hospital supplies Of any de-
scription from the United States to Ger
many, Austria Hungary. Bulgaria and
Turkey.
Statement as to Facts.
The facts are as follows:
May II the British government
communicated to the United States gov
ernment a list of articles which they
were prepared to accept as coming
within the description contained in the
declaration of London, article 20 a., as
articles serving exclusively to aid the
sick and wounded, and therefore not
liable to be considered as contraband
of war. provided thst a general agree
ment between the belligerent powers
could be secured. 1t was not until De-
cember that the British embassy was
informed that Germany had agreed to
this list. But the articles mentioned
on the list have been given permits
since the war began.
Rubber goods such as gloves and
rubber sheets were not included in this
list, and rubber being contraband of
war and an article of great importance
from a military point of view such
goods were not allowed to pass into
Germany.
'The British government. however.
after careful consideration of all the
circumstances, offered to allow all hos
pital stores, whether on the list or not,
to pass freely on receipt of guar
antee that these stores should be used
exclusively by the American Red Cross
and destroyed after being used.
Unable to Give Guarantee.
This guarantee the American Red
Cross were unable to give, their units
having been withdrawn from Europe.
They have recently applied for permits
for a very large consignment of rub
be7 goods on account of Netherlands
society for the use of the German Red
Cross in southeastern Europe. includ-
ing 1000 meters of rubber tubing and
1000 square meters of rubber sheet
ing This proposal, in view of recent
attempts to smuggle rubber into Ger
many, requires careful consideration
and is now before the allied govern
ments.
'It is absolutely untrue that the pro-
hibition has been extended to all sup
