" CLOTHES AND SHOES Persons in Belgium and Northern France i Desperate Condition New York, Nov. 18.—Over three million persons in Belgium and Northern France, mostly women and young children. must be clothed and shod for Christmas. If the garments and shoes for these destitute people are not forthcoming at once, their sufferings during the winter will be- come desperate- Such is the note of an urgent appeal i3sued to the people of the United States by the Commission for Relief of Belgium. The New York commit- tee have received from Herbert Hoov- ¢ er, chairman of the commission, the following statement, . Must Appeal to America. “It appears to me that it is neces- sgry for us to go frankly to the Amer- i¢an people and ask them to cloths the destitute in the occupied areas of Belgium and Northern France during the coming winter. “There are nine million people in these areas and of these over one- third are now either wholly or par- tially destitute and are today receiv- 1 No. 1184, Report of Condition of the "NEW BRITAIN NATIONAL BANK, at New Britain, In the State of Conn., at the closc of business on Nov. 10, 1916.

We now plead for help on their behalf. ¢ Could Not Import Clothes, “Even if these nine million peaple had money they could not import clothes, or the raw materials with which to manufacture them, through the blockade into an area under mili- tary occupation. While the better classes have some clothing with which they can get along, the destitute are composed of the working classes which naturally had little reserves of clothing when the war broke out. The only additions they have received since then have been the generous contributions from America, Canada and elsewhere. By Christmas time all the clothing which we have in our various establishments will be ex- hausted- “It is a certainty that the unduc exposure of underclad men, women and children to the bitter winter wili greatly increase mortality. The clothing for these people can be pro- vided only if we receive gift supplies for the purpose. We must depend upon the American people, “We have arranged that the cost of transportation of clothes from any central point in the United States to Belgium and Northern ¥rance and of the distribution will be paid for out of funds which have been especially pro- vided so that the whole American contributions will reach the destitute without one cent of deduction. Multitude of D.fculties. “In the matter of the character of clothing for these people, we are sur- ties. In the first instance the drastic sanitary arrangements made by the governments through whose territory We must pass make the introduction of second-hand clothing, especially in the areas of the operating armies where the want will be greatest, prac- tically impossible, “We therefore must ask frankly for new clothing and more particularly for unmade material: Not that the desti- tute in Belgium and nohtren France are not intensely grateful for second- hang clothing, but as a matter of necessity, we are forced to ask only for unworn stuffs. “It must be borne in mind that those for whom we appeal are living under almost total industrial paralysis; that many millions of them are idle, and that the cry we have from them daily is: “Give us something to do, give us something to work on, so that e $30,600 aL e 5 s amount unpaid.. 15,300 7a Value of bank- ing house (it unencumbered) 10 Net amount due from Federal ¥ Reserve Bank. b j11a Net amount due from ap- » proved reserve agents in New York, Chitago, and St Louls 15,800.00 225,009.00 40,000.00 87,258.61 wemay contribute to our support.’ Therefore if we can provide them with materials they will make up their own clothing. Furthermore the poor of Belgium and northern France can de- vise an extraordinary amount of cloth- ing out of a given piece of cloth and can work in such materials to patch up their own clothing. For this reason Wwe are anxious to secure piece goods as far as possible, or, alternately, un- worn made-up clothing. bNet amount due from ap- proved reserve agents in oth- er reserve olties \........
