Whom a $10,000 Xmas Fund Is Now Being Raised. By Lilian Bell. {f the days were forty-eight hours long. If I had as many feet as a centipede, as many hands as all the clocks in town, and as many lives as a cat, possibly then I could attend to all the requests which come in over the telephone and in letters ffom those who cannot give money, but who want to help. Out #f them all I quote one us ideal in understanding and sym- pathy: Lilian Bell, care New York Evening World Dear Madam: I read your article in to-night's Evening World with gréot interest. Having lost one of my dearest pals hetp but be with your idea heart and soul. : Am only a business girl und realize the insignificance of my $1 offering, but wish you would pass on to our wounded men the depth of feeling behind it, Tell them that deep down in the hearts of we Ameri- cans we haven't forgotten them; that we love them for the sacrifice they so gladly made for us. We may have seemed indifferent, but in the. hurry of every day life we, not hearing about them, grew careless, We want to grip them firmly by the hand and tell them they are not forgotten, and that we wish them the jolligst Christmas ever! After the bustle and excitement of your dfve is over, if I could in any way help to helieve the monotony of those poor lads’ lives, by help- ing to amuse them Saturday afternoons, T would love to help you in yous work, for the sake of my pal who “went west.” I know it's money, Miss Bell, you're after now, but when the time gets monotonous again for “over there,” can't these poor lads ’praps I could heip thyn. ‘Time is money,” they say, and sorry that's all I can offer. With my best wishes'to each and every one of our wounded men and for the success of your work, I am, myst sincerely, (MSS) MABDL F. HBATH. I will tell you why it seems ideal to me, and perhaps in the telling others may be led to offer what we ean use In the first place, sho says she knows I am after money, and IT AM! I am gfter it so hard that I look with greedy eyes on every roll that I see a fat, prosperious looking man pull out, anyWHERBE in the world, to buy anyTHING in the world. I feel, when I see money, like walking up to the owner and laying my band on his arm and saying: “Sir, If you know what I do, and had seen what I have seen just to-day at the hospitals for wounded soldiers, you would give me every dollar in your roll and draw a check on your bank balance. ' ’ For, dear friends, the money is coming in too slowly and in ex- ceedingly small sums. © The rich, with a few notable exceptions, have turned a deaf ear to our appeals—the rich, who could so easily m happy these brave, nnselfish, patient boys who are still in such dire pain, many of them from wounds which are supposed to have bealed. There are literally thousands of cases all over the United States of wounded men discharged too soon from army hospitals, whose wounds have brokeh out again and who have all that pain to undergo a second or a third or a TERRIBLE time—with less sympathy this tithe and far less putiencg, with their necess Oh, if I dared to print what I know! The whole country would arise and DEMAND that conditions in army hospitals be changed. If ever we have another war, I hope to God that some WOMAN will be at the head of army hospitals! And with all due modesty and blushing bashfully T state that I would like to be that womaf! With all the money and all the power possible fof the American Nation to give back of me! e ty Remember, 1 do not speak from hearsay, I KNOW I did not have the courage of my convictions nor my present knowl- edge or I wotild have preferred chagges against one Medigal Corps Lieutenant Colonel. 1 did spread his record bef but—nothing came of it, , But if the TRUTH could be known and conditions remedied so that never again could I see the wrecks of men, WHO NEED NEVER HAVE SO SUFFERED, I think that I would feel that my life had not been lived in vain, You will observe in this letter quoted that the writer says she wants to relleve the tedium of hospital life after all the excitement of the campaign is over. ‘That is what The Evening World, wants. We want you to go to the hospitals on visiting days and take games and home-made dainties, jemon pies, candy, cakes and little surprise baskets containing just what you yourself would like if you were in their place, Christmas Day at the hospitals will be full, But we sail those who have written, offering to do these things, as an answer to their scores of kindly letters: Please go on New Year's Day. We have named that Lemon Pic Day. Soldiers love the fussiest things to eat that you ever imagined. ‘They love lemon pies with lots of “suds.” They love cake with all kinds of fancy icing on top and between the layers. They love charlotte russes and flossy things with whipped cream, YOU know. Many persons offer to go and read to the boys. Possibly I may be mistaken, but I have never met one soldier who, T thought, would care to be read to. They like to talk to you if you know HOW to talk to soldiers, They don’t like baby talk nor sob stuff. They tell me about their wounds because they know why I ask. But if the public at larse ‘ e Army Intelligence, are asking to accept this | you read th he Eve-| Rumatofsky, 15. Voigt. O. eg brand’. Ning World's $10,000 Cnristy Fund, lL Nw I on, J. Bi Hi.
