Appeal for the help of Suffering Serbia.
January, 1916.

The Serbian Minister in London has the honour to convey his warmest thanks to all the benevolent donors who generously have sent until now their donations through the Serbian Legation for several Relief Funds existing in Serbia.

At the same time the Serbian Minister has to announce that several Relief Funds in Serbia are sending through him their appeal to all benevolent men and women, fathers and mothers

and all philanthropic institutions, painting the horrible suffering of the Serbian Refugees, the starvation of the population staying at home in Serbia, the painful scenes of the desperate mothers and frozen children. Many thousands of Refugees are dispersed in the villages of Greece, in the Albanian desert or in the rocky hollows of Montenegro, without home, without food! The life of these Refugees is now nothing else than a slow dying out. This help will be a real help only if it comes as quickly as possible.

Such appeals have been made from the following Funds: -
THE SERBIAN ARCHBISHOP OF BELGRADE'S RELIEF FUND for the FAMILIES of the FIGHTING MEN.
THE ST. HELEN'S RELIEF FUND FOR THE ORPHANS, whose fathers were killed in the war.
THE PARLIAMENTARY FUND for the RELIEF of SERBIAN REFUGEES.
THE SERBIAN RED CROSS FUND for the WOUNDED SOLDIERS.

The generous donors, who would help any of the above mentioned Funds are kindly requested to send their contributions through the Serbian Legation, 195 Queens Gate, London, S.W.

Please do not forget to mark for which of the Funds the donation is destined, which will be duly acknowledged.
