Cardinal Mercier Asks More Aid For Belgium "Keep your hearts open," says Mali- nes Archbishop to American Com mittee. Amsterdam. By Central News. Cardinal Mercier, Archbishop of Malines, prisoner of the Germans for sending a pastoral letter to his peo ple to remain loyal to the Belgian King and the dovernment, sends the following appeal to the American Committee for Helief in Belgium: Words fail to express my deep ap preciation of the bountiful generosity of the American people. After ail that is being done by-them, it might appear to be unseemly on my part to ask for more, but our distress is so real, and the misery caused so great that we cannot but look to the tu- ture with anxiety Whole villages and towns have been laid low and others plundered. The standing crops have been spoiled ami the ruined land is lying waste. Some parts of the country, indeed, whole districts have been deprived of -bread and salt for days. "The outlook for the coming year is far from hopeful. The shortage ot horses, cattle and labor will leave tracts of land untitled. The out put of agriculture will, be reduced to a very low ebb. Indeed, notwithstanding the valient efforts of our men and women are making to try to get at work, their efforts are puny compared with the task before them. If left unaided we are bound to suffer endless hardships. "The thought that all this may not be known alone prompts me to make an urgent appeal to the American people to keep their hearts open to us our only fear being that it might be interpreted as sufficient recogni tion of what has already been done on such a munificient scale. I there fore conclude by expressing again my heartfelt gratitude, a gratitude too great to find adequate expression "Yours truly and cordially in Christ, Mercier." A Civil War Veteran from a sol dier's home in the South writes: "My monthly invoice of cash don't tally up very heavy, but here's two bones ($2), and hoping you can feed and keep the cold out of every Inst one of them. There never was a caiif-e with more urirencv. more uathos, more univ salitv of ap;,eal than this which in volves the fate of Belgian women i child ran. The Counlv Committee wishes to thank the Veal Telephone Comri for the privilege of talking to dill cnt navts of the county withoul charge. TO imi'I'.ovr (;nm:n school CROl'NDS The eivic department of the Wo man's Club wishes to extend its thanks to the Harris Granite Quarr'i of Salishurv for the courtesy shown in school grounds, and also' to Mr. d. B. Sefffortr!nccurinfit!ed,,i,,,r for we also wish to mention with ap - preciation the careful surveying work done by Mr. beta kaugnnn in outlin ing the w alkway of the school groun5 in accordance with plans, which, however, owing to the unprecedentea bad weather, and the school children, has been completely obliterated. It is hoped that when the work is ngain attempted that steps will be taken to safe-guard the work. It was supposed that some work on the school grounds could be done im mediately; but after consulting with many of the business men, it was deemed inadvisable to do any work for the present. Besides costing more when done in the winter, work don-, could not be guaranteed, and as H will take the utmost care to get crditable amount of work done for th money on hand, the greatest care will be exercised by the School Grounds Committee in the expenditure of ever.-,-dollar.
