Rome, Oct. 16, 7:45 p. m.—The pope has made an appeal to the ‘“children of happy and prosperous America to aid the million and half unhappy chil- | dren of Belgium.” The request of the Pontiff is the result of a visit paid him by George Barr Baker of New York, who came to the Vatican at the in- stance of Herbert Hoover, chairman of the American commission for relief of Belgium. Mr. Baker told the pope that Bel- gian children were reduced below nor- mal weight and were suffering bodily lls through under nourishment. He paid that tuberculosis was increasingly .prevalent and had risen from seven to over thirteen per cent. Mr. Hoover proposes to give the children a sup- plementary daily meal of a cup of thocolate or milk and one sweetened biscuit made with lard. Experience has shown that this addition to their fiet will maintain their condition at normal and wll resore those already weakened. The cost of this meal is three cents for each child daily, and Mr. Hoover hopes to obtain the as- pistance of the American Catholic clergy in enlisting the American chil- dren in relief work.
