HOW RELIEF IS GIVEN
DISTRIBUTION OF SUPPLIES In
SAN FRANCISCO ORGANIZED.
of This Task Never Before Under
taken by the Army-Prompt Service
for Distressed-Rigid Daily Inspec-
ton Is Made.

Major General Greedy of San Fran
cisco has made public the plan by
which supplies are distributed to the
people of San Francisco. The plans
have been very carefully drawn and
they are interesting because the army
has never before had a similar task
Of such magnitude to perform. It is
not a mere distribution of food to peo-
pie, but it is the helping of even a
vast number of people of considerable
means who now find themselves com
PEELED to take their places in the long
bread lines.
The following officers are detailed
to have charge of the work: Major
Lea Febinger, Major G. A. Devol,
transportation, ETC.; Major c. r. KRAFT
hof, providing food supplies; Colonel
George II. Torney, sanitation; Colonel
Heuer, engineering problems. An Off
Ger is yet to be chosen to have charge
of the distribution Of clothing.
The officers named will, as far as
possible. transact their business with
each other and with outside appli-
cants direct, the object being to Sc
cure an economical and prompt SER
vice for the distressed and destitute.
A responsible civilian will be placed
in immediate charge of each relief
station. with reasonable pay, and as
sisted by paid personnel.
AS soon as possible daily rigid in
spection will be made of every relief
station, and abuses, neglects or mis-
takes rectified.
Charges of waste, deception, theft
and improper appropriation of relief
supplies have been freely made. and
it is claimed that the food supplies
furnished are in some cases too lavish
in quantity and are now being issued
without suitable discrimination.
Issues of Injuries or articles of spe-
cial diet must be confined to invalids.
Any other course will speedily ex-
haust the very limited means of sub
sistence now at the disposal of the
army and the national Red Cross sec
rotary.
Rigid economy is enjoined upon
every officer of the army engaged in
relief work. No Indebtedness will be
contracted without the authority of
one of the officers named above. Any
unusual expenditure must be ap-
proved by the division commander.
The unburned portion of the city is
divided into seven military districts
each with one officer at its head, with
100 stations.

house are the encore doors at the sides
of the stage, where the honored per-
former may step in front of the low
cred curtain and bow acknowledgment,
public telephone booths and ladies' re
firing rooms.
The lighting, ventilating and heat
ing are all of the latest pattern. which
include the rheostat for dimming

Madame Bernhard at 62 years of
age has proven the physical and
psychological wonder Of two cen
turtles. She is said not to have a
single wrinkle in her face. and her
spirits are as buoyant as when, a
quarter of a century ago, she so
thrilled American audiences after her
phenomenal capture of Europe by her
superb acting.

MORE HELP IS ASKED
SAN FRANCISCO SUFFERS STILL
In GREAT NEED.
of Support of the Hospitals, Orphan
ages, Religious and Charitable Or
ganizations of All Kinds Are Abso-
luteiy Cut Off.

San Francisco--James ID. Phelan,
chairman of the municipal finance
committee, gives out the following
statement to the Associated Press:
"The demands upon the finance
committee are very great. and we do
not see how we can meet them if pres
ent conditions continue. There is no
money in the community in circula-
ton. The banks are closed because
they dare not open their heated
vaults, and when they do open them
they will probably pay slowly as they
realize upon their assets. They ex-
pect next week to cash the checks
of well known customers to the ex-
tent Of $500 each. That measure will
help in small degree the resumption
of business. There is a sufficient food
supply in sight at present, but the
great problem before us is how to
provide for the absolutely destitute,
for the sick, the old, the children and
all other dependent persons.
"The means Of support of the hos
pitfalls, orphanages. religious and char
table organizations of all kinds are
absolutely cut off. The Red Cross es-
Inmates that $1,000 day is necessary
for the hospitals. To set the institu-
lions on their feet would be the work
of years, because the local people are
unequal to the task of supporting such
institutions and at the same time
meeting the demands of their own
households and rebuilding of stores
and homes and ordinary taxation for
public purposes. We are formulating
plan to present to our committee by
which money can be secured for the
rehabilitation of our workers. Every
body is willing to work and to make
private sacrifices if the tools, as it
we're, are put into their hands to re-
establish the social economical and
commercial condition which prevailed
before the fire. The idea in our minds
is to somehow get large sum of
money at low rates of interest, Sc
cured by the improvements which we
will erect. Such moneys would be am
ply secured and. as in the case of Chi
cago, give us a new city and give to
everybody the means of resuming
| their ordinary vocations.
Everybody is hopeful and coura-
geous and the prosperous commune
ties of the United States, we are sure,
give heed to our call for help. Their
spontaneous and generous aid has
deeply touched the hearts of our peo-
pie"
