Great Relief Society Asks for Con-

ribIe Suffering Entailed by War
in the Balkans.

1 4 -
It is difficult to bring home to
the public in this country the appall-
ing suffering involved in a winter
war in the Balkans. Communica-
ton is difficult, the cold is intense,
and even rudimentary transporta-
tion is a matter Of extreme diff
Guilty. Moreover, the fighting in this
particular war is likely to be Of an
especially bitter and severe character,
while on the other hand the medical
organization available is quite in
adequate to cope with the large mum
bers of wounded.
from our diplomatic representative
in Turkey, the Balkan States and
Greece, and from the Red Cross So
eieties, OF the desperate conditions
OF the thousands of sick and wound
I ed and the inadequate medical SER
vice. With these reports have come
urgent appeals to the American Red
Cross for aid.
The British Red Cross and those
of continental Europe are sending
out medical detachments of doctors
and nurses and hospital supplies in
order to mitigate in some measure
the terrible suffering entailed by
such a winter campaign.
Because Of the distance, the Amer
ican Red Cross will not send expedi
tions of trained personnel, but it
earnestly appeals to the generosity
of our people to aid the sick and
wounded soldiers of all the countries
involved.
Though an arnistice may be de-
clared, the great numbeD of sick and
wounded must be cared for during a
number of weeks and the troops
must remain under arms in the field
for months during the severe winter
weather, with all the suffering and
sickness this will entail.
The services OF the American Red
Cross viii be rendered impartially to
all the combatants concerned. but it
IS, of course, open to any subscriber
to designate donation for the spe-
cia1 assistance Of one or the other
of the belligerent parties, and In
structions to that effect will be strict
ly observed
Contributions should be sent to- the
American Red Cross, Washington, D.
G., to Jacob H. Schiff, Red Cross Of
flee, United Charities Building, New
York City, or any other local Red
Cross treasurer.
