Another APPEAL FOR.
RELIEF IN BELGIUM
Conditions Worse There
Than Any Time Since
War Started
D. T. MARVEL ASKS
FOR CONTRIBUTIONS

CORNER Judge David T. Marvel,
chairman Of the Delaware Commits
sion for the Relief in Belgium. feels
that the committee must again APP
peal TO the citizens of this State for
funds in view of the recent reports
Of conditions in Belgium and North
ern France, which show them to be
worse than at any time since the
war started Judge Marvel said
1.-THE high prices obtained for ma
tive products have made if prac-
tically impossible for laborers and
minor commercial people to secure
the necessary supplement to their
pro rata of the commissions impor-
tations
"These classes. composing some
thing like 100000 people, generally
show diminished vitality. Owing to
the cessation of export and import
trade. these classes are wholly or
partially destitute and have to he pro-
vided with food free of charge It is
estimated that this class will call for
fully S60.000,000 of charity in the
coming year. Adding to Il the ne
cessities OF Northern France, it is
estimated it will call for an expendi-
ture OF $4,000 900 for foodstuffs.
Notwithstanding that certain locali-
ties and more particularly certain in
dividuals have most generously sup
ported the commission, the fact re-
mains that up to date the United
States has only contributed an aver
age Of less than 100000 per month.
a relatively small amount in COM
parison with what others have done,
notwithstanding the fact that the
commissions purchases in this coun-
try have averaged over S5.000.000 per
month. recent months averaging over
S10000,0O0.
This condition is true locally as
well as nationally. Certain individuals
have most generously supported the
commission, but less than one per
cent. OF the population of the city OF
Wilmington nave made any contribu.
tions to the commission.
"On behalf of the commission /
would appeal to those who have al.
ready contributed to make additional
contributions. and trust that those
who have not contributed will at once
make as generous contribution as
possible"
Sylvester D. Townsend, vice-presi-
dent OF the Wilmington Trust Com.
