TONS OF CLOTHING FOR BELGIANS i nin.i.sj 11111 issssa sii FREKCHSOLICITED Red Cross Will Make Effort tJ Collect Large Amount in Eu-1 gene and Lane County Dur ing Week. Ill - sd I That the greatest campaign yet staged tot the collection of ued and surplus clothing will be held in Kugeue and Ljne county during all of next week, vhen an effort will be mude to get to gether five tons of men material from thii county, waa announced at the Rod Cross headquarters tbis afternoon. Next ireek Bed Croaa chapters in every county in the luited States will en deavor to fill their quotas, which are to be the answer to Herbert Hoover's ppeal to furnish clothing for the 10, UOO.000 imprisoned people iu occupied Belgium and France. "Last year we got together over 1,110 pounds of wearing apparel, and it is obvious that a great deal more effort must be expended this year If we are lo do our share," an official explained tbis afternoon. "At the present time ire h merely thst the people will get wbat old clothes they have together and have them ready for us when we have decided how they will be taken care of." Clothing Must Be Clean. Most any kind of clothing will do. It Is said, but particular emphasis is laid upon the fact that it must be clean. "Since these people are now forcel to wear such articles as burlap and flour sacks, it is plain that the time bat rome when we can well give most my kiod of materkil. Of course it is best that the clothing be ns strong as possible, but about the only thing on which we Insist Is that it be clean. We ;annnt insult those people by sending Aem dirty clothes." Contributors are assured that they ire not supposed to alter or mend their offerings in any way. It is urged that they refrain from doing this, as their time can be put to murh better use. Stronger Effort Urged- In his letter to the Ited Cross, Mr. Hoover says: "The ten million people a these occupied countries are facing name, suffering, d'sease nnd some of them death for, lack of clothing this winter. They must be helped. I hope that the Ked Cross will undertake a renewed campaign to obtain this cloth ing in America. It can come only from as. Your first campaign yielded mag nificent results, bringing in fully 5,000 tons of clothing in good condition. But much more is needed If these war-rav-ged people nre to get. through thewin ter to. decency and safety. In the face af brutal coercion and spiritual suffer ing they remain splendidly courageo'is. This courage challenges our charity. Let ns match the oournpe of llelgium by the generosity of America." Persons' nre cautioned not to bring ipparel to the headquarters, as it can lot be kept iu the same room with the rorgical dressings.

C A. lis"L who hsa bees eaoloreu In time of war patriotism is measured by sacriiice. The man at the front gives up all - often life itself. We at home are only asked to hold tenaciously to our "will to win". Without our assistance the brave lad in France fights and dies in vain; a burnt and bleeding sacrifice for naught. Yet he is fighting to preserve your cause and my cause - - to defend the Land we Love. v The Fourth Liberty Loan offers "you another opportun ity to back up the boys in France,- to "measure-up" -to show your "will to win". You are asked to serve, not by giving, but by lending your funds to your Country in its time of need.
