THREE MILLIONS DESTITUTE That Many Persons, Mostly Women and Children, in Belgium and Northern France Must be Clothed by- Christmas -" ' '' ' New York Dispatch, Nov. 16 Over 3,000,000 persons in Belgium and northern France mostly women and young children must be clothed and shod by Christmas. If the gar ments and shoes for these destitute people are not forthcoming at once, their sufferings during the winter will become desperate. Such is the note of an urgent ap peal issued to the people of the United States by. the Commission for Relief in Belgium. The New xoric Committee have received from Mr . Herbert Hoover, chairman of the commission,; the following statement: "It appears to me that it is neces sary for us to go frankly to the American people and ask them to clothe the destitute in the occupied areas of Belgium and northern France durincr the coming winter. There are 9.000.000 people in these nrpns And of these over one-third are T,nw pither whollv or partially desti. tute and are today receiving their f00d either whollv or partially with- s milroad a 3-storv buildintr used for a Presbyterian mission school for colored; and a 4-room dormitory near by. The school library arid furniture were burned. The loss is estimat ed at around $3,500. There was some insurance, how much has not been learned. The fire started in a room on the third floor from a stove. School was in session at the time, en the lower floors, and Prof. Hay wood, principal, found it impossible to break into the room where the fire started. The large building was in a blaze all over when the fire company reached it, and the fire was about 1,500 feet from a hydrant.. The one who 'phoned in the alarm failed to give definite location of the fire which greatly delayed the fire company. It is always best to turn in the alarm from a box, if possible, but if the alarm is 'phoned in it is necessary to give the street location of the fire. If this had been done this morning it might have been possible to save these buildings. Social Club Organized by Royal Arch Masons Keystone Club is the name of a so cial club that has been organized by members of the local chapter of Roy al Arch Masons. It has about 30 members.
