MILLIONS NEEDY Four Hundred Tons of Old Clothing Are Asked from This Division OF THE RED CROSS What Garments Are Needed for Belgian and French Relief Work. Are you getting your old clothing ri idy for the millions of needy ones from Belgium and France who would < tl.crwise suffer from the cold this winter? (let it ready and take it to the north d or of the local Red Cross headquart , s by next Monday. The Red Cross will see that it is packed and sent on it . way. lit rbert Hoover, chairman for the C miiiiHsion for the Retef in Belgium h s asked the American Red Cross, |tbrcn>gh H P. Davison, to collect five th usand tons of clothing for the B> Igians. The Date Division, of which this county is a pat. has been asked to - end four hundred tons. Will you h h . as you did bust year? And diet-t-.r still, try to exceed the amount secured t the last campaign. The following is Hoover's cablegram: ‘ The ten million imprisoned people in occupied Belgium and France a r e facing shame, suffering, diaea.se and < me of them death for lack of clotning this winter. They must be helped. I hope that the Red Cross will undertake a renewed campaign to obtain this clothing in America. It can come only from us. "Your first campaign yielded magnificent re-ults. bringing in fully 5000 tons of clothing in good condition. I’ui much more is needed if these war-ravaged people are to get through the winter in decency and safety. "in the face of brutal coercion and spiritual suffering they remain splendidly courageous. This courage challenge our charity Let us match the courage of Be lgium by the generosity of America. HERBERT HOOVER" A bulletin says: ( Back of the Gentian wall that has hemmed in Belgium and e part of

t Northern France ten million human beings look to us for clothing as well I 'a, food. We who are well clothed J loan''hardly appreciate in what dire line I these |>< oi-le are for lack of tielotßSittea. Stocks of clothing «ud raw material are long since exliauatedThete. are no imports other than those ( the <'ominission for Relief in Belgium has been petmitted to make and these never have been sufficient. i The world is now short of both clothing and raw material, so the commission can no longer purchase what is ' needed. But you can give it. Every household in the land has i some spare clothing, worn or outgtown. of little use here, lut desperately needed by the dei.titute there. This extract from a letter of a well- : to-do lady of Brussels shows the coni dttions exactly: I “Perhaps you will laugh when you i hear that I wear a cloak made from my husband's garde civlque overcoat i a waist math' from his football shirt, ■ and a skirt made from a dyed bedi sheet. Mother had a suit made cf i the tablecloth. J and M have cloaks made of woolen blankets, and S a i dress made of burlap. But all this i is only amusing in comparison with the wretchedness of the population. > After al! we remain calm and confi- > dent of victory.” A recent Brussels advertisement t says: "I will give up to, 125 francs ■ ($25) for new or worn bedsheets.' i There is an immediate need for . every sort of garment, blanket, sheets - and shoes. Tl. • very wonderful results of the . clothing campaign of last March assisted in helping to meet the d-- . tnands but when we realize that thee > are ten million inhabitants in the ocl eupie i regions, most of whom must - look to the outside world for protec- - ticn against the rigors of winter, :t 1 is seen that w cannot send too much. As long as the war lasts, Belgium and I occupied France must depend chiefly on America for aid. To insure the • steady supply of garments which are i so much needed, we appeal to the . generosity of the American public to * give and to give largely. 1 Practical Garments Wanted "Every kind of garment, for ail 1 ages and both sexes, is urgently need- ’ £(!. In addition, piece goods—light. ' warm canton flannel and other kinds ? of doth from which to make garments f for new born babies: ticking; she.'tinc; blankets; woolen goods of any kind; shoes of every size are asked for. Scrap leather is needed for res pairing footwear. f "Since the clothes will be subjected to (he hardest kind of wear, only garments made of strong and durable materials should be sent. It is useless to offer to any afflicted population garments of flimsy material or gaudy coloring. Make tlie gifts practical. ■'Garments need not be in perfect condition. A hundred thousand destitute Women it. >’(ic * are ager to earn a small livelihood by repairing gift clothing and making new garments adapted to needs with which they are familiar.” Garments Needed Men's Wear— Shirt .
