 of the chief
distribution will be nearly $350,000.)

A few words of explanation in regard to the table of expenditures: "Cash
sent to the Interior" includes all moneys sent by pony express or draft,
and of this amount something over seven thousand liras are in the hands
of W.W. Peet, Esq.; Rev. C.F. Gates, at Harpoot; C.M. Hallward, Esq.,
British Consul, at Diarbekir; Rev. E.H. Perry, at Sivas, and other
equally responsible representatives, for an emergency fund, to be used,
on order, as occasion requires.

"Relief Expeditions, General and Medical," represents largely the goods
purchased and shipped with the four expeditions from Constantinople and
Beyrout for relief purposes. A portion of this supply is still held at
different stations awaiting the proper time for its distribution to the
best advantage.

"General Expense Account" represents freights, postage, bakshish,
hammals, car fares, carriages, etc. "Donations for Relief of Orphan
Children" represents sums of money given to the Armenian and German
hospitals for Armenian refugee children. The other items we think
explain themselves.

It will be observed that the special Red Cross fund, as noted in our
tabulation of debits and credits, more than covers expenses of "Red
Cross Headquarters, Field," "Travel and Maintenance," "General Expense
and Wages Accounts," and "General and Medical Relief Expeditions
Accounts," all of which items were of direct benefit to the field as all
were necessary to the successful conduct of our work. We only mention
this to show that, besides the work we have been able to successfully
perform, the Red Cross has also materially contributed monetarily to the
field. And it will not be out of place to note that in the total of cash
expended ($116,326.01) there is shown to be an administrative cost
amounting to $7,526.37, as covered by such items as "Telegrams and
Cables," "Wages Account," "General Expense," "Headquarters, Field,"
"Stationery and Printing," and "Travel and Maintenance." This cost was
but a fraction over 6 per cent on the cash
of the chief 
 distribution will be nearly $ 350,000 .)
