THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 1®, 1918 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 them inimum amount\the Red Gross 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.
