AID FOR SUFFERERS BY THE VAR.

ADDRESS OF THE GENERAL AGENCY OF TIE
GERMAN PATRIOTIC AID SOCIETIES OF THE
UNITED STATES.
Unparalleled as has been the extent of the
operations of the German arms the amount of suffering
and misery which war involves has equally been without
precedent. The losses of the German armies in killed
and wounded are estimated at $4,000 men. Adding to
these the individuals who have been deprived OF the
Of support there will he beside the wounded at
least 100000 needing aid. Do we as German
Americans appreciate the glorious results Of this wari
II so, let send aid to cOuntTymen in
amounts proportioned TO the numbers who have
suffered and fallen in the terrible contest.
Let not lag behind our countrymen, though only
able express love OF Fatherland by pecunary aid
If the demands to be greater than the apparent
ability to aid the part Of the Germans of the United
States and ways must be found TO reach every
Of the millions Of Germans, that they may all aid in
the patriotic task The great bulk Of German popu-
laon in the country districts have not yet in any great
degree, been drawn into this patriotic movement.
The General Agency Of the German Patriotic Aid
Societies Of the United States therefore appeal TO the
Aid Societies OF the different towns and cities and es-
pecaly 10 those represented at the Chicago Convention
and mpoe them their best energies in the work
Of collecting contributions in the country districts.
Plans and propositions 10 the best and safest
10 attain that object will be thankfully received by the
General Agency for the purpose OF Immediate action or
for recommendation to Aid Associations in the United
states having as YET no system.
The General Agency is OF opinion that German minis
ters teachers, and pOstmasters should be appealed to-
above all others, whenever they located country
DISTRICTS O make collections and TO labor for this end
not only during the continuance Of the but long
as the necessities OF the wounded and disabled shall re-
quire it,
Moreover It is desirable that the respective secretaries
OF the country organizations should request the German
editors OF the newspapers in their respective localities To
announce themselves willing and ready 10 receive aid
and contributions accompany the call with impressive
remarks from time TO time. The total amounts when col
lected then be sent 10 the towns where organized aid
societies exist TO the State Committee the Treas
Of the General Agency e. Sauer President or the
German American Bank) If the collections are thus
systematically made in the various States leaving
mans door without request for aid to the German suf
ferers then will the intent Of great and selimpOsed
labor the part Of the entire German population OF the
United States have been in the highest degree fully
realized
In the name OF the General Agency Of the German
