and the garb of these small Serbians tells why.

from the nationwide collection of used clothing, shoes and blankets conducted by the A.R.C.
for the refugees in Allied Countries

to take the place of the indescribable garment he now wears would ease his declining years.
For him and thousands like him the A.R.C. is conducting
a nationwide collection of used clothing, shoes and blankets
