Mrs. A, A. Hilton, one of the

RED CROSS! Duly a man ac
cubtouiPil to dealing iu millions iu
his own business would have been
bold enough to a^k the country to
raise a hundred million dollars in
cue week for the Red Cross. The
wisdom of having Henry P. David
son, a successful banker, at the
head of the Red Cross War Council
is further shown by the prompt and
businesslike report he made to the
American people as t& how their
gifts have been spent. Appropria
tions have not been made in hap
hazard fashion, but only upon re
commendation of the commission
pent to Europe to study the needs.
Armenia, the greatest sufferer of
the ivar and hard to reach, has re
reived $600,000; Serbia, $22,
000; Russia, $322,000. France,
athe seat of greatest need, has
received over ten and a half mil
lion dollars, while outside of
Franco about a million and a half
have been expended. Our own men
come first, and the supreme object
of the American Red Cross is to
care 'or our own army and navy.
The bulk of this Fork, of course,
will in France. Tuberculosis
has already stricken 500,000 per
sons in France, and every effort
to checfc the spread of the malady
is equally fj>r the protection of
France and our own troops that go
there . So varied and increasing
are the needs that it is suggested
'hat an appeal for additional mil
lions may have to be made at the
Christmas season.
