The American Red Cross Society
whose Christmas stamps are a FAM
1liar feature Of the holiday season in
every community of the United States
IS the greatest relief. organization in
the world. The sale Of Christmas
stamps which last year amounted to
more than $150,0O0, is but an incid-

of the American people when any
community suffers from an over
whelming calamity:
Since its reorganization under a
special act Of congress in January.
1905, the. Red Cross has expended an
average of more than $1,0OO,000 a
year in relief operations. The found
alton upon which this great organiza-
ton is established Is found in the
charter given by act Of congress
which, in defining the purposes Of
the Red Cross, says:
ITO furnish voluntary aid to the
sick and wounded of armies in time
of war;" and, ito carry on system
|'of netional and and International re-
lief in time Of peace, and apply the
sane in mitigating the sufferings
caused by pestilence, famine, fire,
floods and other great national - cal
antilles. and to devise and carry on
measures for preventing the same"
1t will be noted that congress in.
tended that the Red Cross should not
confine itself to the relief of suffering
caused bv calamity but that it should
devise and carry or measures fcr
preventing calamity as far AS prac-
ticable.. 1t is under this provision Of
its charter that the organization IS
