H 16 Theodore B. Wilcox Receives S $15,000 in Pledges for Development League. 3500 TONS PRESENT NEED Outside Residents to Be Asked to Contribute 91 Each in Supplies to Fill Half of Steamer Washington lor Stricken. ' Within 24 hours after accepting' an Invitation to co-operate with the Bel gian relief committee to raise funds and supplies for the Belgian relief ship, Theodore B. Wilcox, president of the Oregon Development League, last night had obtained pledges for more than $16,000 worth of foodstuffs. Mr. Wilcox himself had donated (2600 worth of flour, and the Portland Klouring Mills, of which he Is presi dent, has donated an additional $2000 in 1400 barrels of flour. Flour to the Value of $3500 has been received from Wallace, Idaho, and other donations not yet listed raise th j total contri bution above the 115,000 mark. Two 91000 donations have been made In Portland. . These are in addition to contribu tions amounting- to $2830.31 received by. the relief committee appointed by Governor West. Samuel Hill, chair man of this committee, and C. Henri Labbe. Belgian Consul, predict that this fund will Jump well above the $5000 mark before the closing date, about January 1. ; 3SOO T-una Vet Needed. To fill one-half of the British steam ship Washington, on which the food stuffs donated by the states of Oregon and Washington will be loaded, about 3500 tons of supplies will be required. Mr. Wilcox estimates that this weight of foodstuffs will represent a monetary value of approximately $100,00. He believes that . e will be able to reduce the, need within a week or ten days, or as soon as he has had time to can vass the Portland field. "I have complete confidence in the willingness of the people of Oregon to hold up their end of this responsibility along with California and Washington," eaid Mr. Wilcox last night. "We want to start out with the larger subscrip tions and then go after the smaller ones. "Id the state outside of Portland our plan will be to encourage the residents of the cities and towns to send $1 worth of goods for every inhabitant and to send It in the products that are specialized on In their respective local ities. Already we have received notice that several carloads are on their way from Astoria and other cities. I be lieve we will be able to raise almost all our half-shipload within a fort night." A telegram has been received from Governor Lister, of Washington, by Mr. Hill announcing the appointment f a Belgian relief committee lor tne State of Washington, with Thomas Bnrka. of Seattle, as chairman. This committee, explains Governorm Lister, will make all efforts to encourage the relief work by bringing about a sys tem of co-operation between the com mittees of adjoining states in handling the undertaking. Benefit to Aid Materially. Belgian relief work in Portland will receive great impetus from The Ore tronian benefit at the Heilig Theater. Here will be shown authentic motion nictures of the war. taken on tne bat tlefield by Edwin K. Weigle, staff ohotographer of the Chicago Tribune. One-half of the receipts from this bene fit go to the Belgian Red Cross and ons-half to the local Associated Chan ties' work. The pictures will be shown tonight, and from noon until 11 at night on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Sat urday of this week. A touching appeal for help, directly needed, has been sent broadcast over the country by Henry Clews, treas urer of the Dollar Christmas Fund, with offices In New York City, "In spite of the liberal contributions already made to this great cause, the help does not average more than a few cents for each destitute Belgian." says Mr. Clews in his plea. "Even if you liave given to every other fund, we beg: you. In the name of humanity, to assist the Christmas fund. Help to eend a Christmas gift worthy of America. a. tribute of sympathy from one people to another, whose needs and sorrows are immeasurable. Millions Face Starvation. "It you realize that millions are faced literally with starvation, that children are still crying for food, shel terless women dragging their weary wav to help, that aged men are home less and shivering and this despite all that is being done you will give be fore Christmas and give liberally. With the local relief fund closed, the contributions will be sent to the home offices in New York City to be for warded from there to various dis tributing offices throughout Belgium. Contributions in money or supplies are accepted. The commission in charge has extended its activities to all neu tral parts of the world, and it has un dertaken to transport free of cost from all ports and to distribute in Belgium the foodstuffs collected. Local contributors who wish to make ehiprnents of provisions and supplies to "the people without a country" abroad should consign the goods through to ABC Relief Ship, New York City, sending all papers to Theodore B. Wilcox, of the Portland Flouring Mills Company. Following is a list of contributors to the Oregon fund up to and including December 8 and not including many subscriptions listed since that date.

Photographer Rlska Life. The films have none of the orderly characteristics of the "made-to order" war film.

Across fields torn and plougnea wnn shells, the Belgian army is seen ngnt tng its way.
