WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 4.-None
of the proceeds from the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals which are being
sold widely throughout the United
States for the benefit of the anti-tuber-
culosis movement will be used for war
relief purposes, according to state
ment issued today, by Ernest P. Bick-
nell, National Director of the Amer
lean Red Cross.
Mr. Bicknell says: THE American
Red Cross is deeply appreciative of
the sympathetic interest which has
inspired the suggestion from various
parts of the United States, that GER
tain percentage of the Red Cross Seal
Sales Fund, which has been used for
the last six years exclusively for the
prevention of tuberculosis in the
United States, be expended this year

of the country, but now they are 60
ing into practically every section, and
as it has been expressed, "a river OF
gold" is beginning to flow into the
channels of commerce in the United
States.
Confidence on the part of business
men and of the people generally is
another great factor.
But whatever may be the causes
for the improvement, the strain and
the stress are over practically, and
great prosperity is in sight.
"Oficials of one of the foremost
banking institutions in the Southeast
declare greater Roadway toward re-
storing normal conditions in business
and finance has been made during the
last four weeks than in any similar
period since the European war dis
turbance began.

Red Cross Seal Funds
Not For War Relief

While the Red Cross is trying very
hard to raise a large war relief fund
and is anxious to secure contributions
that will increase this fund, we do not
feel justified in adopting any policy
which will tend to cripple the tuber-
culosis work in this country, which is
dependent for it's support to SO large
an extent on the sale of Red Cross
Christmas Seals. The announcement
that a percentage of the Red Cross
Seal money would go to our war relief
fund might possibly increase the sale,
but, in our opinion, the final results
would show distinct loss in that
part of the proceeds going for tuber
culosis work.
"At the present time there are over
one thousand anti-tuberculosis soci-
cites distributed over nearly every
state in the Union, and even in Vera
Cruz, the Canal Zone and far off Ha-
wall which are dependent almost en-
tirely upon the receipts from the Red
Cross Seal sale for their work during
the year 1915. The people of the
United States must support this local
war against tuberculosis, which an
nually kills 100000 people, and at the
present time is leaving trail of
million wounded"
