HELP STARVING women
CHILDREN OF IRELAND
CAUSE THAT APPEALS TO ALL
AMERICANS - STATE AND
LOCAL COMMITTEES.

The nation wide drive for funds for
the relief of distress in Ireland is
meeting with the success which all
such movements receive in this coun-
try Beginning with the Inaugural
ton OF relief work in Belgium under
the Hoover committee. down through
the entire war period and continuing
among the war distracted peoples of
an Europe, the American purse has
responded to the call of humanity in
"a manner never perhaps. eQualled by
tany nation in the world
The national committee which is in
charge OF this work is headed by j. T.
Lucey. who was Hoover's chief aid in
his relief work and who has under
more than S1O.OOO.O0O for the purpose,
with the understanding that the
funds SO raised are to be used dis
Iunctly for the relief OF suffering The
movement has no relation whatever
to the political questions that are now
disturbing the British Isles. The pur-
pose of the committee is very well
stated 10y Morgan j. OBrien, the ma
tional chairman, as follows:
Relief of Women and Children.
The American committe for relief
i'm Ireland has come into being for the
sole humanitarian purpose of allevi-
ating the widespread suffering among
the children and women of that coun-
try Its primary object is to raise
S1O24O0OO which Will go to the pur-
chase Of necessary supplies. AS there
is still food in Ireland, there Will be
no immediate necessity to spend any
money on freight charges. If, how
ever. the destruction of creameries,
farm houses and farm stock contin-
ues, and if the land remains untitled
as it is this spring. the problem of
importing supplies may arise. At the |
present it does not exist, so that every |
dollar raised viii go to buying the
food and clothing which the homeless |
babies of Ireland and their mothers so |
sorely need.
THAT this committee is absolutely |
non partisan in its composition and |
in its purposes may be seen by a
-slance at the distinguished list of /
men and women who are lending it |
the support of their names and their /
energies all through the United States. /
1t will be equally partisan in the
of supplies. No bias |
either of politics or religion will be /
permitted in choosing the people who /
are to benefit Need will be the sole
standard of fitness to be served"
