GRAVE NEED EMPHASIZED ronllff Says, in Letter to Cardinal Gibbons, ThaP He Has Been Moved to Act by Kccent Ke port of Mr. Hoover. BALTIMORE, Dec. 4. A gift of $10. 000 lire, about $2000, from the apostolic see of Rome, around which the chil dren of America are urged to build a large fund for further relief of the children of Belgium, is announced In en autograph letter from Pope Ben edict to Cardinal Gibbons, made public here today. The Pope has been moved to his ap peal to American children by a recent report from Herbert C. Hoover, chair man of the commission for relief in Belgium, describing; "the pitiable sit uation of numerous Belgian children who, during two sad years, have been suffering from the lack, of that proper nourishment necessary to sustain the tender existence of budding childhood." Pontiff Moved by Compassion. The Pope's letter follows: "My L,ord Cardinal: Profound com passion of a father has again moved our heart, when we read an important letter recently sent to us by the distinguished chairman of the praise worthy commission for relief in Bel gium.' describing in few words, yet showing- proof of most terrible reality, the pitiable situation of numerous Belgian children, who, during two sad years, have been suffering from the lack of that proper nourishment neces sary to sustain the tender existence of budding childhood. "In most moving terms the chairman has described how so many desolate Xamilies, after having given every thing humanly possible to give, now find themselves with nothing left with which to appease the hunger of their little ones. "He has made us see, almost as if they were passing before these very eyes, dimmed with tears, the long .file, continuously Increasing, of Belgian in fants waiting for their daily distribu tion of bread; unhappy little ones whose bodies, emaciated by lack of proper nutrition, bear not infrequently the impress of some deadly sickness brought about by their failure to re ceive the fopd which children of their age require. Children ed Especial Care. "In his letter the chairman has told tis how, in order lo ward off so much Illness, his commission, displaying the very best of good will and stopping at no sacrifice, has arranged for the dis tribution to the children of a daily sup plementary meal. He sorrowfully adds, however, that unhappily, owing to- ln Bufticient means, the commission has found itself unable to prepare and sup ply such extra food to all the babies who have need of it. "In this emergency the worthy chair man has turned his thought and his heart to the millions of children of your happy, noble America, who, in the abundance with which they are now surrounded, could they be given an ex act idea of the pitiable and unfortunate condition of their little fellow creatures in Belgium more especially if an ap pealing and encouraging word might reach them from us would not hesi tate a moment to co-operate heartily. In accordance with some prearranged plan, to come promptly to the relief of these needy Belgian babies. Relief "Work Heartily Indorsed. "In view of this condition of affairs, we have considered the work indicated co humanitarian and so holy that, in prompt compliance with the appeal ad dressed to us by those who are direct ing the work of the commission, we have decided to approve and recom mend it, as we hereby do indorse it most heartily by these words to you, my Lord Cardinal, and through you to the illustrious members of the Ameri can Episcopate, to the clergy and to every generous heart, but particularly to those children of America upon whom is based every hope of success for the plan devised by this beneficent Institution. "Neither do we doubt, in truth, but that the happy children or America, without distinction of faith or of class, at this approach of another Winter which it is announced will bo even more severe and painful than the two preceding years will vie in their inno- BEST FOR LIVER, mi HEADACHE, COLDS They Liven the Liver and Bowels and Straighten You Right Up.

'r"trleidal Carnage Atrocious. "The words of our Divine Redeemer: Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these mv brethren, ye have done it unto me, (Matthew xxv: 40), so appropriately brought to mind in these circumstances, are a sure pledge of heavenly pleasure and reward, while we feel likewise how greatly, in this period of atrocious fratricidal carnage, even in the eyes of the world, are en nobled the people of more fortunate lands by the- performance of true and loving deeds and by the pouring of a little balm upon the wounds of those less fortunate. "In the full faith that your emi nence, efficaciously aided by all ac cording to their means and strength, will do as much as may be in your power to favor this initiative, in proof of the loving interest which we have for its successful outcome, we send to you enclosed our contribution of 10.000 lire, which gift, if it be inadequate to the needs of the occasion and appears slight in itself, is not. however, such when .one considers - the condition of this apostolic see in the present un happy moment. Blessing's Invoked on Donors. "At the same time, while being: par ticularly happy to represent upon this earth that Jesus who was the divine friend of little children, we invoke from our heart upon all those who shall second and aid this noble and delicate undertaking an abundance of blessings and heavenly rewards, of which is a pledge. The apostolic bene diction with every special affection we impart to you, my Lord Cardinal, to your two colleagues in the sacred col lege, to the bishops, clergy and to all the faithful of the United States.
