which will enable them to return to
normal conditions of life rests upon
the local authorities and the Red
Cross. Many thousands of people
will return to their homes to find
their houses and furniture and farm
equipment and food supplies for
themselves and their farm animals
almost or wholly destroyed. Ques-
tions of health which inevitably arise
from the gathering of great numbers
into camps are already becoming
acute and to these will be added
others even more serious when the
waters subside Typhoid, dysentary,
smallpox, malaria and other diseases
threaten and must if possible be pre-
vented by prompt and vigorous meas
ures. For this task resources far in
excess of those now at command will
be essential. If you as president of
your State Red Cross Board, see fit
to supplement the publication by
proclamation to the people of your
state, the force of the appeal will be
greatly strengthened. Contributions
received by your members of your
state board should be duly credited by
your board treasurer and transmit
ted to the National Treasurer in
Washington.
