USED CLOTHING DRIVE TO
 BEGIN WEEK OF MARCH PATH

During the week beginning March 2lth this Division will be asked to undertake Che collection of GOO tons Of used and surplus clothing for the bcnfit of the needy abroad says the Northwest Bulletin.
 Unlike the two former collections this drive will be wholly under the auspices of the Red Cross and is for an the distressed people of Europe excepting the Central Powers.
 The amount asked for this time Is twice as large. which means the ef- fort must be doubled and when it is realized that among thc hundreds of thousands Of refugees now in France the need for clothing is more imperative than food. there should be no lack Of inspiration to clean house with a vengeance and insist that your neighbor go and do like wise.
 Here is the substance of a state ment contained In a report Of fifty investigators of Che American Red Cross working among 2Oo,OO0 ref ugcss gathered in and about Paris. The report says:
 Most Of thc refugee families man age Co nourish themselves on the government allowante and their small wages. but they arc by DO means able Co cIothe themselves As the present prices Of clothing m France are prohibitive, the need for this kind of assistance is obvious. Accordingly. we decided to give food only when special nourishment was ordered by a physician, but to con tnuc Co look after the clothing need is imperative"
 It is estimated that the German in- vasion of France and Belgium made wanderers of l,25O,OOO formerly happy country people of these coun- tries.
 Now that the conflict is over and the occupied territories of France and Belgium have been liberated, these refugees are hastcning back Co their former homes in large numbers. They have no thought of the ruins the cold weather or their condition as regards sufficient clothing, only the longing to get back to their homes occupy their minds.
 In passing their ruined villages and towns. they can be seen stand ing i'm the doorway of houses which have for their roofs nothing but a sheet Of canvas which sags under Che weight of the snow. Smoke curls mp from a hole in Che ground and in- vcstigation Of its source discloscs family of four huddled about a fire i'm a completely wrecked home The children wear old blankets and the parents work and sleep in a ragged patchwork of costumes. TO the Red Cross man who visits them the mother says:
 "We would not mind if we only had a few clothes to keep us warm while we work. My boy has not left the fire for three days It's SO cold outside and he has nothing but a blanket Co put around him."
 The gift of a pair of socks by a passing American doughboy to am old peasant at Conflans brought tears of joy. The old fellow talks about hIs socks unceasingly An- other wears pair of overulls that we're presented to him by an Amer ican as proudly as if 1t were a dress suit. or food they have little, but of clothes they have practically none.

Presidents Ship
To Be Transport
For War Babies
George Washington Sails for
France Equipped With
Nursing Bottles, Matted
Milk and Teething Rings

During the peace conference the
transport George Washington became
known as the Presidents ship, but on
its next return from France it will
be in new CAUSE.-THE War Baby Ship.
When it sailed yesterday it carried
nursing bottles, matted milk, prepared
foods and other comforts and pacifiers
for 200 babies coming over with their
mothers who married American soldiers
in France.
DR.. G. A. Kicker, the ships surgeon,
who expects a continuing and steadily
growing baby passenger traffic. also
asked for baby scales to keep tab on
the effect of sea voyages on the lusty
progeny of American warriors. But
Miss Edna ]. Wakefield. the official Red
Cross hostess for war brides coming
from abroad, vetoed that. She thought
the ships scales would do. But the
chief steward and pharmacist were SUD-
piled by the Red Cross with everything
else that might be required by the
youngsters on their trip to the land Of
their fathers.
Banner Week Recorded
"This has been the banner week in
the reception of war brides and war
babies," said Miss Wakefield yesterday.
with the arrival Of the Cap Finis-
terre, with 1877 war brides, we shall
have received since last Sunday 1878
war brides. There were also sixteen
babies. one of them ten months old.
OF the sixteen. fourteen arrived on the
Louisville, which brought seventy-6vc
war brides last Monday morning. 1t
was the biggest bunch of war brides
and babies that ever has come to these
shores. Officers of the Louisville cele-
brated the event with a great baby
show.
"And some of the babies were beau
ties, too, although I do not think any
of the fourteen would have stood
chance with the seven months-old boy
of Edward and Marie Louise Baker,
who came over on the Great Northern
dressed like four-year-old, in checked
coat and trousers, equipped with pock
cts. He made hit with US, as he did
with the crew of the ship and the
troops abroad"
Received at Hostess House
Miss Wakefield, upon seeing that the
war brides fulfil the requirements of
the immigration authorities, escorts
them to the Hostess House conducted
by the Y. W. C. A. at Lexington Ave
nue. and Forty-first Street, unless The
brides are met at the pier by rela-
tives. At the Hostess House war brides
are entertained until arrangements can
be made for their departure to the
home towns of their husbands.

schools this summer. Some 10000 chill

teach them Bible stories, handicraft,
