THE APPEAL OF BELGIUM
The suffering people of Belgium
again appeal to the people of Amer
ica to give them their second-hand
clothing to protect them from the
cold of the approaching winter. Peo
ple in this city and ebunty responded
liberally to their lost appeal and this
time the call is more urgent While
a great many have planned to wear
their last season's garments this year,
yet there ore few homes that cannot
spars a portion of these for the needy
people in war-stricken Belgium.
This Is an opportunity for doing a
charitable work'that none of us
should allow to pass without having a
part in. These people do not ask for
the best, they simply ask for our
cast off garments, anything that will
help them to protect their bodies from
the ravages of winter. This call
should not pass unheeded, have your
contribution ready, go through your
packing trunks and givo every gar
ment that can be spared for the
worthy cause.
SAVING THE CHILDREN
Are you doing everything in your
power to conserve the child-life of
your community and the nation? Are
you seeking untiringly for informa
tion that will help you to do your
duty as a parent in giving your chil
dren proper mental and physical de
velopment?’ If you are not you are
failing In the greatest opportunity
for service that can be given.
Our President, who seems to be
endowed with an almost super-human
perception when it cornea to .discern
ing the needs of prime importance to
the people ho is guiding, designates
this, as 'a need of the most vital sig
nificance. In this connection he says:
“Next to thed uty of doing every-
thing possible for thes oldicrs at the
front, there could be, it seems to me,
no more patriotic duty than that of
protecting thee hildren, who consti
tute one-third of our population.
The success of the efforts made in
England in behalf of the children is
evidenced by the fact that the infant
death rate in England for the second
year of the war was the lowest in her
history. Attention Is now being giv
en to education and labor conditions
for children by the legislatures of
both France and England, showing
that thee onviction among the Allies
la that the protection of childhood 1s
eesential to winning the war.
I am very glad that the-same pro-
sees si are being set afoot in this
Country, and I heartily approve , the
plan of the Children's Bureau and
the Woman's Committee of the Coun
cil of National Defense for making
the second -year of the war one of
waited activity on behalf of children,
and in that sense a Children's Year.
“I trust that the year will not only
see the goal Teached of saving one
hundred thousand lives of infants and
young children, but that the work
wmy so successfully develop as to set
op certain irreducible minimum stand
ards for the health, education, and
work of the American child.
Cordially and sincerely yours,
' (Signed WOODROW WIL80N.
But he was murdered.
“A German shell ploughed it way
up its back and into his right shoul
der and horribly mutilated him. He
was found weltering in his blood in
No Man's Land. The field surgeon
told the stretcher bearers to hurry
with him to the base.
“ ‘He is terribly hurt, but he need
not die,’ said the surgeon.
“They ran with Hugh Caldwell to
the ambulance. They did not lose a
moment. They carried him to an
ambulance, with a carrying capacity
of five men, four were already lying
in the car.
“Now and then we read that an
ocean liner, loaded with women and
children has sunk in mid ocean. It
carried only a few life boats and the
majority of pasengers were drowned
[like 1 rats in a trap. But red blood
turns black in hate of the man who
is guilty of the criminal negligence in
not providing life boats enough for
dll.
Hugh Caldwell was carried to an
ambulance with a carrying capacity
of five men—it had only four ambu
lance pillows. Somebody in America
had ridden too long in their pleasure
car; somebody had been too selfish;
somebody had forgot 1
“Hugh didn’t get his. They laid
him on hia mutilated back on the
rough floor of the car. At' every
lurch and leap of the car his wounds
were torn open a little wider, even
one woUld tear a rag. The red
stream of Mood which flowed through
the floor of the car to the dusty road
became a little redder and a little
thicker and faster in its flow.
“When the ambulance reached the
hospital and the surgeon and his or
derly hurried to the car to gettheman
who need not die—they found him
dead—murdered I
“He had not been forgot, but neg
lected—yes; by the ones who loved
him best.
“I am repeating this story for the
purpose of begging those of you who
read and who may perhaps, ‘wear a
service pin upon your lapel or shlrt-
tlothing to get through the coming
winter. On the success of the second
clothing drive which the American
Red Cross, at the request/of the Bel
gian Relief Commission, will launch
on September 23 ar#l continue for one
week, depends whether these sorely-
tried people are to have enough cov
ering for their poorly nourished bod
ies during the cold weather.
Five thousand tons of clothing

hopes to ahip. these people as a result
of this drive. An equal amount was
collected in thee lothing campaign
last March, and for some time past
has been in the process of distribu
tion in Belgium and Northern France,
but at least as much or more is need
ed according to Herbert C. Hoover,
chairman of the Commission for the
Relief of Belgium. In an appeal to
the American people for a hearty re
sponse to this worthy call, Henry P.
Davison, chairman of the War Coun
cil of the American Red Cross, says
in part: (
Back of the German-wall that for
four years has hemmed in brave little
Belgium and her neighbors in north
ern France, 10,000,000 human being
look to us for clothing as well as
food. Even the well-to-do lack neces
sities, and the poor are in direst need.
All stocks of clothing and raw mater
ials have long since been exhausted.
There have been no commercial
We cannot purchase what is needed.
“But you can give it.
“Every household in the land has
some spare clothing, worn or out
grown, of little value here, but des
perately needed by the destitute there
They have been reduced to fashion
ing garmnts from flour sacks, old
blankets, sheets, and tablecloths,
which have now almost disappeared,
and shoes from scraps of carpet and
jute sacks. Today it costs eight dol
lars to have a pair of shoes resoled.
For bedding, sacks stuffed with dry
leaves or moss serve as mattresses.
Everywhere the need for blankets is
tremendous. Hospitals and other in
stitutions suffer for want of sheets.
In some places whole families sleep
together to~share a single blanket.
“To relieve a plucky and long-suf
fering nation we must open our
stores partly used garments. The val
ue of these supplies is inestimable.
Your unused garments will clothe our
oppressed allies aa human beings
should be clothed, save them from
suffering, disease and death by pro
tecting them against the cold and raw
winters of northern Europe.”
Garments of every kind, for both
sexes, and all ages, are needed, ac
cording to the appeal. Also piece
goods which can be made into sheets,
blankets and baby clothing. Only
garments of strong material will be
accepted. Apparel of flimssy mater
ial or fancy clothing will not be tak-
Prospective donors are reminded
it will not be necessary to mend the
garments, as the repair work will give
employment to the thousands of des
titute women in the occupied regions.
Collections will be made trough the
Chapters of the Red Cross. The
drive will be from Monday to Bfonday
inclusive.
These are the
STYLES
we have.

A MESSAGE TO YOU
Somehow, we on this side of the
great sea that divides us from the
horror and bloodshed that is blighting
Europe, sheltered and protected, can
not (it might more truthfully be said)
will not bring ourselves to think ser
iously of the bloody sacrifices that are
being made by our brothers and sla
ters there, to preserve this freedom
we enjoy, for us, and obtain it for the
suffering people of Europe. This is
tremendous issue, many of our own
boys are now or soon will be facing
their Gethsemanc. Can wp think in
terms of self when they are on the
stage of action, in this, the world’s
greatest tragedy.
These words from the pen of one
who has tasted the dregs of the cup
with the men who ore giving their all,
should burn deep into our minds and
souls and arouse us to a new de
termination to give our all over here
