GENEROUS RESPONSE
TO RED CROSS CALL
Clothing Received Will BE Used For
Benefit of War Refugees,
in Europe

The receiving room at the Red
Cross headquarters, No. 20 Court
street. is becoming filed with a
quantity of clothing which is to be
sent to the refugees Of the devastated
countries overseas. Each variety is
being packed into separate bundles,
and old waists, old skirts, soft felt
hats which pack easily trousers,
frayed and unfrayed, overcoats, and
blankets are among the welcomed ar
ticles of clothing which have been re-
ceived.
This weeks drive is being con-
Quoted during the time when spring
housekeeping unearths many articles
of clothing and bedding which are no
longer of use to their owners, and it
is hoped that much of the material,
instead of spending a long moth
balled summer in the attic will be
sent to the receiving station at the
Red Cross rooms,
/ The warehouses at Newark, n. j.,
which have been filed to overlooking
through the long months of the war,
are now practically empty, but
through the medium of this Red Cross
drive it is expected that thousands of
tons of material will be soon ready
for shipment overseas.
The following cable has been re-
ceived from Col. Harvey D. Gibson,
former Red Cross commissioner to
France: These refugees have been in
rags and almost destitute of clothing
Tor several years. In many of the
countries now, even if clothing could
be manufactured and paid for, ma
terial is totally lacking. The need is
great to a degree that few at home
can possibly realize. Every garment
furnished will cover a body which
would otherwise lack proper clothing,
and each garment furnished will
actually prevent suffering"
Red Cross posters have been dis
| tributed throughout the city, by the
| boy scouts, picturing the suffering of
| the allies and describing their needs.
Garments need not be in perfect
| condition. but it is requested that
| they be in clean condition, and in
| addition to the other garm ents named
| the following will be acceptable:
| Warm canton flannel and other sorts
| of material with which to make
| garments for babies, ticking, sheet
| ing, blankets and wooden goods of
| any sort There is also need for
! scrap leather for repairing of shoes
| Many thousand of destitute women
overseas will be glad to earn their
| livelihood by repairing clothing.

representation on the eXe,U an

with the FIVE great powers. it was
learned from an authoritative source
today.
This group. comprising Greece, Ser
tia, Roumania, and Zeco-SlOvakia,
was organized by Premier Venizelos
for defensive purposes, a common Bal
kan policy, and especially, enforce
ment of peace in southeastern Europe.
II is now known that Venizelos, dur
ing discussions Of the league OF ma
tions urged adoption of a clause per-
hitting defensive alliances. Although
the commission refused TO insert such
clause in the draft, it did not pro-
kibit such alliances, merely providing.
in Article X&III, for the registration
of such treaties.
The committee on responsibility
for the war was reported today TO
be encountering difficulties in con-
sidering the case of the former
Kaiser, as there is no precedent on
which to proceed. The question of
possible extradition for instance,
necessitates the closest examination.
There is no desire to take action that
might possibly result in Wilhelm be-
ing cast in the role OF a martyr.
Opinion is crystallizing among the
peace ENJOYS that it might be possible
to summon, the German, Austro-Hun-
garian, Bulgarian and Turkish dele
gates into a full congress by the
middle Of April or the first OF May
and that peace can finally be con-
cIuded by the beginning Of June. ,

and strategic points of the enemy
were bombarded. During this ad-
vance all of our batteries were in a5-
vance positions and active. The at
tack on the. Bots la Cote and the
Champey was the last battle in which
the 351st took part. 1t began at 4:30
a. m. November II, 1918, and ended
just fifteen minutes before the carry
ing out OF the armistice terms. By
the time the armistice stopped the
lighting our regiment had taken many
prisoners and many detectives. The
division retired in the vicinity Of
Pont-a-Mousson, where time was
spent salvaging material and cleaning
equipment while the men anXiously
awaited the order TO move to an en-
barkation port and begin their return

crept into our lives with the deaths
of Privates Roland Edwards, Ben
Hammet. David walker and Willie
Lee. Another incident that brought
grief to the men was when General
Cole was promoted to major general
from brigadicr general. His pro-
motion pleased us, but his leaving ia"
regiment was regretted by all.
