States. The Delaware BranCh az the

fering in ireland. especially among

The campaign has no relation TO the
other funds which have been collected
in America for the various lighting
forces in ireland today. 1t is for the
civil population only. and all donors
may feel assured that the money raised
will be used for humanitarian work
among the distressed.
When it is remembered that money
is being sent to the starving in China
and other far-nung places. it seems
that we might spare bit for those who
are nearer home, and who certainly are
