When you are in the midst Of this
you seem to have another nature,
and only one thought--to go right
over the top and show ignorant

they have been duped. Some pris.

when they saw the Sammies they
were quite surprised. 1t is so with

Attention Red Cross Workers
AN APPEAL FOR YOUR SPARE
CLOTHING FOR BELGIUM RELIEF

CLOTHING FOR BELGIUM RELIEF
Back of the German wall that
has hemmed in Belgium and part
of Northtrn France, ten million
human beings look to US for cloth
irg as well ~ food. We who Are
well clolhsd can hardly appreciate
in what dire need these people are
for lack Of Necessities. Stocks Of
clothing and raw material are Ing
since exhausted. There are no im
Bfts other than those the Com
for Relief in Belgium has been per
mitted to make. and these have
never / IN sufficient. The world
is now short Of both clothing and
raw matrri.I. so the Commission
can no longer purchase what is
needed Sat YOU can give it.
Every house olIin the land has
some spare clio hing, worn or out
grCwn. If little use here, bat des-
perate:y needed by the destitute
there.
AS long as the war lasts, Bel
GUM and occupied France must
depead chiefly on America for aid.
To insure the steady supply Of
garments which are so much need
ed, Wa appeal again to the gener-
ositl If The American public to
give and give largely.
Every kind OF garment, for ali
age: and both sexes, is urgently
nee,led. In addition, piece goods
light, warm canton flannel, and
other kinds OF cloth from which to
make garments for new born babies
ticking, sheeti"g, and blankets,
wcoled goods of any kind-and
shoes Of every size are asked for.
Scrap leather is needed for repair
ing footwear.
Since the clothes will be subject
ed to the hardest kind of wear,
only garments made of strong and
durable materials should be sent
1t is useless to offer to any afflicted
people garments of flimsy material
or gaudy coloriag Make the gifts
practical Garments need not be
In perfect condition. Women in
occupied regions are eager TO earn
small livelihood by repairing gift
clothing and making new garments
adapted to needs with which they
are familiar.
Wooden goods OF any kind what
soever are acceptable; soft hats
and caps for all ages, sweaters in
any size and any kind, mems
shirts and paiamas, so worn or
shrunken as no longer to be service
able are weicme as they can be
made into childrens garments.
Do not send ball dresses, high
beeled slippers, etc. Stiff straw hats
nor anything containing rubber.
raiDcoats, rubber boots etc; books
toys soap, toilet articles.
Notes or Communications OF any
sort or description must positively
not be sent.
