From The Indianapolis Star, Sunday, September 12, 1915: It’s a long way from last Christmas, but then it is a long way too from Belgium these days of blockades and delayed mails. The war accounts for the tardy arrival in the United States of artistic souvenir cards sent by the children of Antwerp as an acknowledgment to the children of the United States for the gifts they forwarded on the Christmas ship Jason. One of these cards comes to the Star from the Commission for Relief in Belgium for the thousands of Indiana children and grownups who sent toys or clothing through the Star, or contributed to the Belgian Flour Fund and assured many a hungry little Belgian a Christmas dinner. Each card is signed by a group of Antwerp school children.
