GO In CHRISTMAS SHIP
American Collier Will Carry Relief For
War Sufferers.

New YOrk.-America's 1916 Christ
mas ship for the relief of unfortunate
victims of the war will leave New
York Dec. l. The American Red Cross is
cooperating with the American com.
mlttee for Armenian and Syrian relief
In collecting foodstuffs and clothing to
be sent to Syria on a government COL
lier placed at the disposal Of the latter
committee by Secretary Daniels.
The collection of the Christmas ship
cargo is in the hands of Albert W.
Staub Of the American Red Cross re-
ceiving and distributing station at
Bush terminal, Brooklyn. Mr.. Staub
has already received countless bundles
OF old clothing, unavailable for the
cargo, as military regulations preclude
the shipment of second hand clothing
In this cargo. He said, 1T must be
emphasized that the only clothing
America can send to the unfortunate
ones in Turkey must be new and must
be sent prepaid to the American Red
Cross, Bush terminal, Brooklyn Mr..
Staub sent the following letter from
the war relief information and ship
ping Office:
1T is more than significant that the
first letter to go out from the newly
organized Red Cross war relief infor-
nation office has to do with Christ
mas ship. 1t is doub1y significant that
it is to take relief to a people living so
near the Holy Land"
