DR.. Pullman made this statement: We
were well rcceivedi in Turkey and got rly
everything we wanted. We found needs
for S5,0UO,0oO and could have spent that
amount without wasting cent. We spent
81 l6, 900. While the relief work in Asia
Minor is not yet finished, the mission on
which we went was fully completed.
Miss Rarton did not meet the sultan.
but she was introduced to the porte. Our
mission was TO give relief to the destitute
and not to interfere in political matters.
The principles of the Red Cross Society
are humanity and neutrality. We rccog
pize no animosities and have no enemies
We gave very little food, and no money.
OCCASIONALLY we gave clothing. We ex-
pended 30 per cent of our distributions
in tools aud seeds We started artisans in
their shops, farmers at their plows, and
women at their spinning wheels.
We helped men to work, not to idle
ness. We sent live relief expeditions into
those portions of the devasted country the
missionaries could not cover with salts

periences with massacres II was not our
work to investigate causes We found the
sufferers and did what We could for
