More than 3.0OO.00 persons in Belslum and Northern France, mostly women and young children, must be clothed and shod by Christmas. If the garments and ahoes for theae destitute people are not forthcoming at once, their suf fering during the Winter w ill become desperate. Such i the note of an urgent appeal i.nirii to the neonle of the United Stateg by the Commission for Relief in Belgium. The New York committee has received from Herbert Hoover, chairman of the commission, -the fol lowing statement: "It appears to me that it Is neces sary for us to go frankly to the Amer ican people and ask them to clothe the destitute in the occupied areas of Bel glum and Northern France during the coming Winter. 3,000.000 Are Destitute. "There are J.000.000 people In these areas and of these more than one-third are destitute. We have no reserves with which to provide clothing for the destitute. We now plead for help on their behalf. "Kven If they had money they could not import clothes, or the raw ma terials with which to manufacture them, through the blockade into an area under military occupation. While the better classes have some clothing with which they can get along, the destitute are composed of the working classea. By Christmas time all the clothing which we have In our variou establishments will be exhausted. "It Is a certainty that the undue ex posure of underclad men. women and children to the bitter Winter will greatly Increase mortality. The cloth ing for these people can be provided only If wa receive gift supplies for the 4 1 n-liinri n Pe J.

If the European war keeps up jt is quite likely there win be no more blue Jeans, and toilers of the future may be garbed in over alls of pink or gray, according to F. R. Hamburger, secretary of the Nations' Association of Garment Workers, which began its seni-annual session hero today. "The supply of blue vegetable dye is just about exhausted." he said, "and we are unable to get more, as Germany is the sole exporter of the blue dyes used here." The enormous demand for wool and its manufactured products for the armies will cause an increase In the price of clothing in America this Win ter, other upeakers said. Galbraith Miller, Jr., president of the association, declared that Kuropean demands had depleted the American wool supply and that in spite of the enormous activity of the wool indus try the cost of woolen clothing: here was due for a rise.

FIRE STOPS RESCUE CREWS Bodies Seen in Debris, but ' Cannot Be Reached. FLAME LEAPS 200 FEET Pulmotors of United States Bureau of Mines Party Revives Few or VictimsNeighboring: Cities Rush Men to Help. SEATTLE. Wash.. Nov. 16. Thirty one men were killed today by an ex plosion of coal dust ir the Northwest ern Improvement Company's coal mine at Ravensdale. 35 miles southeast of i Seattle. Tonight tho mine was burn ing, and there was little hope of re covering 28 bodies remaining in the mino before tomorrow. The bodies of three men have been recovered, and three injured have been brought safely to the surface, where they were resuscitated by the use of ptll motors. The body of P. J. Kane, foreman of the third level, 1500 feet below the surface, where the explosion occurred, was found seated in the chair before his desk just within the entrance to the third level. Fire Stopa Beseuers. The rescuers were able to identify Kane, who was burned to death, but late tonight had been unable to re move his body because of the intense heat in the level, which was on fire. Trained rescue men rushed to the mine from Seattle, Roslyn and Cle Elum were able, by wearing oxygen helmets, to penetrate far enough into the mine to see the bodies of the entombed men lying in the mine, but could not get to them because of the wreckage and the Intense heat. It is certain, mine officials said, that all are dead. Those whose bodies have been re covered were: John Krrington, laborer; Dominick Noveria. timberman: Jacob Ramshack. timbcrman. Those -rescued and revived were: Michael Fcrlii-h, shot lighter; Michael Pemoshak, timekeeper; Martin Melz nar. Most of Vit-tlms Married. Those known to be dead but hoie bodies have not yet been recovered are: P. J. Kane, mine foreman: P. J. Dorld. shot firer; Edward Morgan, tracklayer; John Pesta. laborer: Jo seph Kragne. motorman; Jack Mun cie. haulage boss: Howard Salter, la borer; M. Tcnneiki, laborer: Thomas Mashiakoski. laborer; Louis Miniaglia. laborer: .1. S. Davis, timberman; Noel Coalman, laborer; C. B. Dav.is. pump man: C. B. Castegnia, laborer: Thomas Speck, motorman: and the following miner: .IriRcnh Baldacci. Romeo Ma- doini, John Storey. Louis Tazzaloli, An gela Morris, E. Shibaut, Jonn .lmo, Frank Wcgher. Kmil Paivallek, John Miller. Joseph Zgone, Michael Komin ski. Joseph Zaiob. Most of the men were married and had lar;e families. Third Level Burning. The third level in which the men were entombed is 1500 feet below tiie surface. Rescuers who succeeded in the third level through an auxiliary shaft found that the level was burning. The intense heat and thick made it impossible for the rescuers to penetrate farther than the foreman's office at the entrance to the orkings. Debris were found piled to the ceiling of the level. Walls had crumbled and roofs fallen i a result of the explosion. Fore man Kane's body was found seated in the chair in front of his desK. lie nau been burned to death. Superintendent R. D. Scott, wno is directing the rescue work, said late to night that he believed there was no hope that any of the entombed men would be found alive. "They could not live in this fire, smoke and gas." he said. "It may take another day for us to break our way through the length of the level and Efforta Are Abandoned. Late tonight, after the rescue teams had ascertained that all remaining in the mine were dead but could not be reached because of the fire and debris. Superintendent R. D. Scott ordered that efforts to penetrate the mine farther be abandoned, while all available men were ...if to work clearing away the wreck age so the fire could be extinguished and the bodies recovered. From the time the explosion occurred until late tonight scores of women and children, who had relatives in the mine, crowded silently around the blackened shaft waiting word from those laboring within to reach the en tombed men. Even after, word was passed around that all were given up for lost, the women waited, hoping that the next trip of the cage would brins up the bodies of their loved ones. The cause of the explosion is un known. The mine was well equipped with safety appliances and waa con sidered one of the safest, in tne state.
