BELGIANS' NEED CLOTHES. Prof. Kellooa of Stanford Saya Relief Work Will Cease if Clothing Is Not Sent. . l'rofessor Vernon L. Kellogg of Stan ford university, assistant director of tho "C.UiB." for Franco, who recent ly returned to America, says that "If clothing and shoes aie not sent to Bel glum and northern Franco Immediate ly thu wholu work will have to be given up." In discussing the conditions among tho peoplo of northoru Franco l'ro lessor Kellogg said: "The population of tho German oc cupied turiltory In France Is two and u Muarter million. They uro practically entirely dependent upon food which is brought Into their territory by thu C.lt.B.' Neither tho French peoplo nor thu commission has heretofore applied to charity. All of tho food furnished by thu commission to thu French in the north of Franco has been provided by Ficuch sources outside of thu occu pied territory. While (his bus been sullielent to provide a minimum living ration for these people, It Is not sulli elent to provide tho clothing and shoes now Imperatively needed In this re gion, "It Is Imperative that clothing and shoes be sent at once Into this legion," continued Professor Kellogg, "The 'C.lt.B.' through Its organization will be ablo to Import and dlstrlbutu to thctc unfortunate French peoplo what ever clothlir,' and hhoes can be provld ed by tho charity of tho world. "America, having douo so much foi Belgium. Is naturally looked to by the French us the prime source of thl charity," be continued. "What Is need ed Is not old, worn out clothing, bu. new clothing or cloth for making up Into clothes." According to Professo: Kellogg, the advantage of gifts of cloth or of money for the purchase of cloth Is that clothing especially suitable for these people can be made by them selves. This making, lie says, will In cldentally give employment to many thousand men and women who aie now iioi essarlly Idle. It will also en ablo them In some measure to pay foi the food supplies furuNlied ihein and thus glo them a feeling of self respect ami Independence most desirable, uilttecs add a small margin to cove! the Incidental cost of milling, the llxeil pike of white bread being ll.lttl ient a pound. Thu adaptability of thu Americans to this wuik is u somce of unendln wonder to thu Euiopcaus who come In contact with them. A commission del egate will turn from laying down the law to u stubborn canal boat captain lo adjust u delicate diplomatic piob loin In which he has to meet ollk-lals of high station, and both dlllleultlcs will usually bu settled with cicdlt to thu delegute. Brussels, with one station feeding ,'O.UUO persons, has one of thu mosi extensive bread lines, but it IS merely typical of others till over thu country Kadi bread Hue Is divided Into te nons, from .which 500 persons In aii hour receive their ration. The de.itt into are kent waiting In line as brlui a time us possible, as the lack of cloih lug Is becoming very herlous. The Urn on u misty, piercing winter rtuy pit ieiits u nondescript appearame whlci wouid bu amusing on any other occu slou. Ono of tho most Interesting but llttlo known phases of tho world's wur abroad Is tho novel method employed by the women of northern Franco to obtain shlits for their llttlo ones. Tho accompauyln; photographs show how meal sacks f.-oni California were turit ed Into shirt i. Even allowing for tho reduction of birth rate due lo the war there have been thousands of births In northern France since tho Invasion, and mothers there uro being put to a severe lest to preserve tho lives of (he kiddles. According to P. II. Chad bourn, member of tho commission for relief In Belgium, 71 Broadway, New York, who recently returned from his duties us delegate to the Charlevlllo district, practically all stocks of cloth-1 lug anil shoes as well as private jmp- piles In tho country are now exhaust ed. No raw material has entered tho territory since tho occupation more than I) ft ecu mouths ago. "Shortly before I left northern France," said Mr. Chadbourii, "I wus Informed that the small children In the district wero In dire need of plain, or dinary shirts, Tho wlfo of one of tho mayors Informed thu commission that sixty women of the town wero unxlous to obtain empty flour sacks, out of which they could fashion shirts for tho suffering children. The C.IU!.' broke Its rul,e and turned over to the committee about 1,'JOO coarse meal sacks. The women very Ingeniously turned the sacks Into shirts by clipping off the two bottom corners for arm holes and cutting a semicircle for the neck, and 1,'-00 kiddles were supplied with shirts only temporarily, how ever." According to Mr. Chudbourn, tho sight of the French kiddles running around with gaudy pictures of Indian heads, Minnehaha falls mid slogans of millers on their backs would have stir red the Innermost depths of the most calloused. "This llttlo Incident brings strikingly before us the great lmpor- SLIP BRINGS DREAM TRUE. Thu bicnd lluu seems endless til ready, but Is growing.

' Even tho Hour suck In which the commission's supplies nr lived aie scb-cd upon and convened Into clothing, and this winter tunny n Belgl.in will have no other underwear than cum be provided by these sucks. This Is the new problem facing the commission, and It Is itgiilu looking to America to pioneer the wuy In this, as that country did In the food relief movement. Not only have the Bel glans used up their original stock of clothing, but even with means to bu. they could not obtain more. As the Importation of worn clothing Is for bidden, the commission has sent out an appeal for new clothing or, better still, material for Us manufacture, which will not only provlilo tho necessity, bill keep a few more Belgian workers of! the bread line.
