COTTON
Is Badly Needed for the Thous-
ands of Wounded French
Soldiers in the War.

NEW YORK, March 4.-The execu-
tive secretary of the war relief clear
ing house for France and its allies,
having received adyices concerning the
intense suffering Of those wounded in
battle in Europe. has issued an appeal
to the generosity of Americans to do
nate cotton for medical purposes, gar
ments and other necessities Of life
which will be forwarded In care OF
the association to the needy.
The appear contains a request that
donations be sent to the War Relief
Clearing House. $50 Bank street, and
that all transportation charges from
New York to destination will be taken
care Of. 1t is announced that the Ball
timore and Ohio railroad has offered to
handle such war relief shipments free
of charge from any point on its lines
to New York.
A communication from Paris con-
cerning the needs OF the wounded,
states: There never were so many
bleeding men as there are today and
the United States is the storehouse of
cotton. All storts OF devices have to
be resorted TO here for substitutes, but
nothing, as you know, is us good as
cotton in dressing wounds"
