10 the border are not engaged in nc-
tual warfare. dependent families they
have left behind will feel sa lily the
absence of their support and assist
ance, and the cooperation of the
people in helping to relieve unfortu-
nate situations was asked for by Mrs.
William Wilson Sale. chairman of the
Richmond committee of the Ameri-
can Section of the War Relief Asso-
citation, yesterday at the meeting of
her committee in the association head
quarters on Main Street.
II has been the idea of some per-
sons that because the country Is not
at war, the families OF the men who
are serving on the border are not in
need of help. The contrary circum-
stance exists. The nation is at peace,
but the families are feeling the pinch
OF war without it's sorrow, and 1t is
just this that the American Section
OF the Association is working to re-
iieve. Already numerous calls have
been received by Mrs. Sale OF desti-
tute families. In these provisions are
supplied them, in some case the rent
is paid, or the landlord is appealed
TO ana he permits free residence IN
his property. There are hundreds of
other things that have to be done to
meet the different circumstances Of
the various cases that come to the
committee, and the pubic Is asked
to keep these dependent people In
mind. When a call Is issued for help
II is hoped the response will be hearty
No solicitation OF funds Is being
asked by the committee but sup
plies of all kinds will be appt ecinted.
All money now being spent was con-
fributed by the ladies of the commit
tee, who assessed themselves an
amount to take care of the Immediate
needs.
