The German Aid Societies, organized for |
the relief OF the siok and wounded during the |
Late war, has just issued their final report. |
Certainly they have been generously sup
ported, having, during the short period be- |
tween Sedan and Paris, received and expend
ed nearly fourteen millions of dollars-one
million ofwhieh was contributed by America.
These societies propose to use the sum-two
hundred and seventy thousand dollars-now
in their hands, as permanent fund to pre-.
serve their formation and perfect all their ar |
30 as to torn an organization |
always prepared to relieve suffering at any
moment that war is commenced hereafter.

lures Of these German societies with the re- /
lief societies formed during our late civil war,
lasting many years. But the exhibit of two
millions and a half of receipts, as published by
the "United States Christian Commission" is |
far behind the generous contributions that
poured in during the Prusslan war from all
