How to Help the Belgian

Where refugees can obtain in- formation of missing relatives, that on Saturday morning Loall- ed at the headquarters of the Central Committee at Aldwych to make the necessary inquiries, writes Mary Macdonald Brown, in the Daily News.

"Very few Belgian children," said Lady Lagard, “ have arrived without their parents, and those who have 'come with nuns are be ing taken charge of by the Catholic Women's League. It is only right that Catholic children and young girls should be pat under the protection of those of their own denomination. So it is useless for the general public to

Relegees anzione about loss or mining relatives should wits to the Refugees' Committee, Central-buildings, Aldwych."

"We are simply in desperation for hospitality," I was told at the Oatholis Women's League, which has done so much for the refugees. "Better even than nepitality in private houses would be the offer of houses where one or two Bel- gian families could live together,"

The Catholic Women's League would be exceedingly glad of offers of hospitality from people. of any denomination; and also of handkerchiefs and boya boots; Already they have completely fitted out 2,000 women and children, many of whom arrived without coats or bats. All offera and gifte should be sent to the Catholic Women's League, 116, Victoria-street, London, 8.W.
