ROUMANIANS IN
NEED OF CLOTHES,
CONSULJELATES
Oiplomat Urges Americans to
Send Discarded Clothing
Through Red Cross to
Destitute People.
, Old clothes Tiave found their day
and spring purchases need not be
censured as an extreme extrava
gance this year, since every cast-off
garment and piece of worn wearing
apparel will find a welcome from the
'American Red Cross which is col
lecting clothing for the- helpless
refugees of allied countries. '
Nearly every American has found
a sympathetic interest in the peoples
of at least one of the war-torn coun
tries.' The new campaign inaugur
ated by the American Red Cross of
fers an opportunity ipr help impar
tially to all allied nationalities, those
existing before the war and those
newly (treated.
Roumania in Rags.
One of the countries sending an
argent appeal to the United States,
and which will be relieved by the
Red Cross campaign, is Roumania,
a countryi in which even the upper
classes, alwaysj accustomed to luxuiv
ies of life,' are suffering w(ith ' the
poorer people for lack of the essen
tials of decent living. ,,V
"Women and children , of once
. -wealthy families,'' said T. Tileston
Wells, the Roumanian consut in
New York, "are in tatters. Some
. people are proud if they possess one
garment only.
"Roumania before the war had a
population' of 7,000,000. The greater
part of this -population, of which
700,000 were lost in battle, has been
driven into about one-third ,6f fheir
former territory The people have
been nearly isolated for a year, and
ire now without food, clothing and
shelter. Starvation and disease have
taken thousands of victims."
A call has corne to Dr. Wells di
rect from Queen Marie of Rou
mania, telling of the weeds, of her
people. Undergarments especially
are wanted and about 3,000,000
chemises for women and children
are needed. An old dress, warm
woolen stockings that you do not
rant to wear darned, a winter over
coat of which you have tired, sweat-
. trs whose colors have faded all are
essential and will be put to good use.
Even' bedclothes, and linens are
, needed, for many of the. families
have been routed out of their homes
ind have watched the Turks and
BulgarTraze their homes with the
entire household contents.
I Live in Crowded Huts.
"The fact that Roumanians have
lived with all the refinements oi ed
ucation and culture similar to ours,"
continued the consul, "should make
the tragedy of the impoverished peo
ple, now living in crowded huts,
sometimes without tbrmost meagre
' necessities, more poignant Jo the
Americans. We need only contem
plate what we ourselves would suf
fer without clothes and food and
homes to realize tlje horror in which
Roumanians of our own type are
living."
Death in all forms has swept over
Roumania, says Catherine Olm
stead, a Red Cross worker who has
spent six months in Jassy up to the
time the country was compelled to
make peace, and who corroborates
the statement of the,, Roumanian
consul. ' '
"Everything was lacking drugs,
food and shelter, and above all,
clothes," she said. "I saw the in-
habitants of the invaded regions
thousands of families, .the old, they
The European relief commission is
sending food to satisfy their needs.
We must also send clothing and
household materials, to protect them
- from storms and cold and to permit
.'jhem to recreate their sense of self
respect. ' j '
Orphans Cry for Bread.
"Thousands of orphans were
rambling about, nearly naked, cry
ing for bread. I saw them lying in
the street, soaked to the skin. Roads
were churned into deep mud and
they were dying of sickness due to
lack of food and the scant clothing
they had." - ,. -The
nearest drug store is a ollec
tipn agency. : ;
