CRY FROM MACEDONIA.
Appeal for Financial Aid Placed Before
Red Cross Society,

Mace donia's plea for aid in her distress
was placed before Miss Clara Barton. the
head of the American Associa ton of the
Red Cross. today. Constantine Stephanove.
the special Macedonian delegate, told Miss
Barton of the urgency of the situation, and
begged her to take immediate action to
insure the forwarding of Red Cross relief
to Macedonia. Miss Barton asked for de-
tailed information to the character and
scope of the aid needed. and said:
THE Red Cross feels that it would be a
humane and noble thing for the American
people to undertake to relieve the suffering
in Macedonia. Such d movement would be
in keeping with American tradition in other
similar emergencies.
The situation, in view of the approach
of winter, would seem to require a sys-
tematic, substantial and immediate effort
on the part of the people generally. Dipo-
maucally the problem would be an extreme
~ delicate ona, and would require discre-
ton and experience for its successful sulu-
ton

fence while they operated upon the bank.

open the safe. After they had drilled holes
in the safe door. which were filed with
