"The Belgian Soldiers Fund is appealing for regular weekly support in occier to provide the Belgian soldiers at the front with a constant supply of food comforts and warm clothing. The mead of these men is very great, for their own people, most of whom are either in the hands of the Germans or refugees in foreign lands, are unable to send them the parcels from home that have meant so much to our own men. It rests with us to help them. Food is soon used up, and clothing soon becomes unwearable from the conditions in the trenches. Therefore, the Belgian Soldiers Fund is appealing for weekly gifts of groceries, such as 1 lb. packets of coffee, biscuits, cocoa, lump sugar, rice, chocolate, macaroni, split peas, or one tin of meat, milk, jam, meat extract, dm., or one warm garment a week. The Fund is also sending comforts of food and clothing to the Belgian military hospitals. • Coaributions in money or in kind, and donations towards field kitchen comforts for providing hot meals to the mon in the trenches, will be gratefully received by the Secretary, The Belgian Soldiers Fund, 19 James Street, Oxford Street, London, W."
