DRIVE FOR CLOTHES
FOR BELGIANS
Red Cross Has a Drive This Week

Red Cross Has Drive This Week
The local Red Cross have drive
this week for old clothes for the
needy families of the Allies.
An extract from private letter
written by a well-to-do lady in Brus-
sells to an American friend shows
better than any general description,
the actual clothing conditions in
Belgium. She says:
perhaps you will laugh when you
hear that l wear a cloak made from
my husbands garde divique over
coat, a waist made from his football
shirt, and skirt made of dyed
bed sheet Mother had suit made
of tablecloth. J. and M. have
cloaks made of woolen blankets and
S. dress made of burlap. But all
this is only amusing in comparison
with The wretchedness of the popu-
lation. After all, we remain calm
and confident of victory"
The articles most needed for girls
wear are dresses, skirts, overcoats,
nlSnIurcSSeS, drawers, oCOCh11ISo, I'LL
dergarments, petticoats, two piece
suits, blouses and shoes; for boys
and girls wear, hooded Clothes,
cradle chemises, bodices, cradle dress
es, sweaters, bonnets, bibs, necker-
chiefs, diapers, shoes, baby dresses.
hooded cloaks, jackets, shawls and
socks. Other things acceptable are
,, bed ticks, bed sheets, pillow cases
| blankets and mufflers.
There are certain articles which
must not be sent, including garments
of fimsy material or gaudy coloring
ball dresses, high-heeled slippers
mems derby hats and women's straw
hats, anything containing rubber such
as raincoats, rubber boots, etc. Shoes
containing rubber heels are accept
able, as the heels can be removed.
Germany has stripped Belgium OF
all its cloth and the materials with
which to make cloth. The fact is
that Germany is herself reduced to
the use of paper for clothes for many
of her people, so what must condi-
| tiOnS be in Belgium?

u. S. NEGOTIATING
WITH GERMANS FOR
CARE OF PRISONERS
America insists That Captured
u. S. Soldiers Remain in
PruSSia-HunS Want Their
Men to Remain in Europe

WASHINGTON, Jan. ls.-Disposal or
German and American prisoners is the
subject OF negotiations with Germany
undertaken by the state department AT
the request OF the war department.
Whether German prisoners shall be
brought back to the United States or
left in England and France, is the prln-
cipaI question TO be solved.
The United states wants the same
agreement as 10 American prisoners
taken by Germany as England and
France have made with Germany. name
IL. that they shall be kept within the
territory of Germany proper. This
move is to prevent them from beTnS
shipped to Turkey or some similar place
where they might be subjected to harsh
treatment.
General staff opinion is divided on
the ACCESSIBILITY OF bringing German
prisoners back to this country. Some
argue that they could be carried in
empty transports and put to work here,
while others believe that Germany will
oppose the plan and, therefore, that it
would be difficult to get an agreement
as to American prisoners held by Ger
many.
In any event, the war prisoner bu-
reau is prepared to handle the men If
il is determined to return them here, or
il will make arrangements to. dispose OF
them in France and England.

SAYS ADHEREVTS OF
DEMOCRACY MUST Be
READY To DIE FOR It
British Premier, in Addressing
Labor Delegates Stresses
Urgency of Need of Raising
More Men

LONDON. Jan. 1S.-Premier Lloyd
George, addressing the labor dele
gates today, said no man standing on
the watch tower could deny the urgency
of the need for raising more men.
The prime minister said no democracy
has ever long survived the failure of
it's adherents TO be ready TO die for l..
Mr.. Lloyd George said that he and
President Wilson without previous con-
sultation-there was no opportunity
had laid down substantially the same
program Of demands for the termina-
ton of the war.
There was no man willing to make
peace without complete restoration of
Belgium and reparation, the premier
said. From Germany there had been
but one answer. he added. land it came
from Won Tirpitz' soul--Never!"
Continuing, the premier said:
"Our channel ports are not far from
the lighting line and unless we are pre-
pared TO stand up to the people who
are dominating Germany, Britain, Brit
ish democracy, French democracy and
the democracy of Europe will be at the
mercy of the most cruel militady au-
tocracy the world has ever seem
Mr.. Lloyd George said that his and
President Wilson's war aims had been
acclaimed throughout the entente al
lied countries. There had been hardly a
voice Of criticism save from a few who
WISHED he had made more extreme de-
maindS. The Socialists of France, Italy
and Great Britain, he said, had accepted
them as very fair general demands.
The premier said that Germany had
answered never" to his demand for a
reconsideration of the wrong of Alsace-
Lorraine, and had declared that Germany
would go on until Mesopotamia and Pal
estine were restored to the tyranny OF
the Turks.
No single war aims condition made by
the British trade unions had been an
swered by any German authority, he
added.
Mr.. Lloyd George said there had been
no answer from Germany on the recent
entente's war aims. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg and General Won Ludendorfi
weer brought back for conferences, but
Foreign Minister Won kuehlmann was
not allowed to speak.
why? asked the premier. Because
the Prussian military power is dominant
The answer to be given will be given
from the lannon's mouth"
IF any man here can find an honorable
and equitable way out of this conflict
without fighting it through" the premier
continued, "let him tell it, Ny convic-
ton is this-the people must either &c
on or go under"
The view of the government, Mr.
Lloyd George said, was that it would be
folly to withdraw men from industries
one hour sooner than the need arose, but
that il would be treason to state, to
democracy. and to freedom if, when the
need did arise. the demand should be
made.
Whatever terms were put forward by
any pacifist orator, the premier declar-
ed, would not be -cashed by Ludendorff
or the kaiser unless the British had the
power to neforce them.
