THE KBUJ&F FUND
The ptople of Skagway oil two
separata occasions recently respond
ed liberally to appeals made to
them through the American branch
of the Red Cross society to raise
money for the reller of the desti
tute and suffering la the countries
where the great conflict between the
warring European nations is now
going en, and the funds so raised
hare been forwarded to the head
quarters of the association in New
York, from which distributions of
food ami clothing are being made
daily.
Like relief measures have also
leen instituted in or are under
way in o'-her portions of Alaska wit
the assumption that all moneys so
raised will be devoted to the nse
cf those who are in need, of what
soever nationality.- but we received
through the mail last nlglit a com
munication from Fairbanks that |
gives out th© information, of which j
we were not before aware, that ®f- j
fort» are being made in this terri- j
tory, as well as elswhere in the
United States, by German sympa
thizers to collect a fund for the,
exclusive use «f the unfortunates of
that nation, and that the solicits-1
tions are being made in a manner
calculated to mislead the general j
public into the belief that donations j
so made are for the relief ot people |
of all nationalities.
The letter is as follows:
Fairbanks, Nov. 2". 1!»14 |
i do tuiior,
Skagway Alaskan,
Dear Sir:—On September 3, 191-4,
the American Red Cress society
called for one million dollars, sup
plemented later by further efforts
to raise additional funds, to be
used in caring for the eiek and
wounded of all the nations now hi
war lu Europe, without distinction
as to nationality.
Following this, during the past tw
months German sympathizers in Al
aska instituted a movement for the
eollectloa of funds for the German
Red Cross, which works under, and
is an Integral part of the German
army, brooking no interfe.ence from
outside sources, and in every es
sential distinct from the voluntary
Red Cross organization existing in
most of the civilized countries of
the woHd. Subscription lists iu
connection with this purely German
movement have been circulated
throughout the territory, purporting,
it'is said, to be in behalf of the
International Red Cross society,
which so-called organization has no
existence In fact.
Under these circumstances, there
is no doubt but that many Alaskans
are subscribing funds to the German
Red Cross, under a total misappre
hension as to the purposes for
which their subscriptions will be de
voted, and under the belief that
such funds will be expended in the
care of the Sic* and wounded of
all the--v'arrb»g nations, irrespective
of nationality. Froci the facts
stated, • relative to the independent
military organization of the Ger
man Red Cross, such general assist
ance can only be true of funds sub
scribed "directly to a neutral organ
ization, which is personified by the
American Red Cross society, whose
efforts, as mentioned above, are
not confined to any particular na
tion, but are directed Indiscrimin
ately in behalf of the sick and
wounded of all the warring coun
tries.
For the purpose of Insuring that
the American Red Cross society
shall receive due support from this
section of Alaska, a committee for
the raising.of funds wag appointed
some weeks ago, headed by the
mayor of Fairbanks as chaiman,
and immediately proceeded to work
along tho following lines:
On November 7, 1914, a grand
Mardi Gras benefit dance was held
In FairbanksT"after"bdng widely ad
vertised, and pr'&vpd an unparalleled
success as the means of raising an
immediately available and substan
tial contribution to the fund; the
aid of the churches, fraternal and
other organizations in and around
Fairbanks was enlisted to help in
th« work, and subscription lists,
with Ked Cross cards to at
tract attention thcrero, were post
ed around town and ou tile various
i-reeks.
It <«( respectfully suggested that
you give publicity, through the col
umns of your paper, to the needs
and objects of the American Red
Cross society, when the people of
your vicinity will undoubtedly make
organized efforts to render all pos
sible assistance.
Yours very truly,
ALBERT J. TOl.'TI
Secretary.
We believe that suffering Ger
mans are entitled to relief as much
us arc Pe°Ple °f ot'ner coun
tries, but that is the limitation, and
any measures that seek to contract
the lines of human sympathy and
charity into a circumscribed area
should be discountenanced in every
corner of this great and glorious
commonwealth where the policy • of
the administration is strict neutral
ity and to which the actions and
feelings of the people should strict
ly conform.
