DENIES RED CROSS AID
WAS. !! REFUSED MEX|CANS
-
Secretary C. L. Magee Refutes
Report. Regarding Recent
Battle Of Juarez.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
i In The Star of yesterday, the 18th in
slant. was published a dispatch from Ell
Paso, Tex, relating to the battle recent
ly fought between the armies of the
federals and constitutionaIists at and in
the vicinity of Juarez. Mexico.
One paragraph Of this dispatch was en-
titled mo response from Red Cross" and
stated that the American Red Cross had
failed to respond to the appeal for aid
made by the rebel officials yesterday, and
an effort would be made to obtain money
from other sources to enable the II Paso
doctors and nurses to care for the
wounded. i.
From this statement it would appear to
the public that the American BED Cross
had been appealed to in vain for assist
ance or had been dilatory in it's action,
which is SO far from the truth in this
case that it is thought only fair to the
Red Cross that an accurate statement
should be published. 80
Gives the Real Facts.
The real facts are as follows: On Tues
day night at 1890 O'Clock a telegram was
received from the secretary of the III
Paso Red Cross Chapter advising US OF
the battle which had continued all day,
the estimated number. Of wounded need
ing care, and stating that the Ell Paso
chapter was in readiness to care for the
wounded the moment consent was given
to bring them to the American side.
Within ten minutes after the receipt OF
this dispatch q reply was sent by tele-'
gram authorizing the chapter to render
such assistance to the wounded al it could
without restriction as to cost. Consent
to bring the wounded across the border
obviously could not be given by the Red
Cross. but favorable action by the proper
departments of the government was
taken Wednesday morning and a second
telegram was sent to the Ell Paso Red
Cross Chapter advising the chapter that
permission had been given to bring the
wounded to FL Paso and authorizing the
chanter to draw on the Red Cross by
ta.egraph for such funds as might be re-
ouired for their care.
A later dispatch received from the
chairman of the FL Paso Red Cross Chap
ter stated that after a conference be.
tween the chief of staff to the general in
command >of the constitutionalist forces
and q Red Cross officer the chief OF STAN
had stated that unless the United States
would agree not to detain the wounded
soldiers after their discharge by the Red
Cross medical staff he would not permit
their being taken to FL Paso for care
and did not wish Official Red Cross as
sistance other than the loan OF such in
struments and appliances as his own
medical corps might need As to the
eventual disposition ~of the wounded
brought over the border. the United States
government would not enter into any
agreement.
II will therefore be seen that the
American Red Cross in this instance not
only responded to the appeal for as
sistance, but responded promptly and
literally.

Mr. Carnegie amassed his millions
much more easily than he can give
them away. He started less than
ten years ago on the task Of distri-

which brought him in an annual in
