GERMAN RELIEF FUND
PLANS ARE DISCUSSED
Money Will Be Used Exclusively for
Aid of Teuton Suf-
ferers.

At the meeting of the German-Ameri-
can 1914 relief committee in the offices
Of the Second National Bank today.
with George w. Spier presiding, fur
ther details for the collections of the
German relief fund were discussed.
Emphasis is to be laid upon the fact
that while the committee is working
under thorough understanding with
Miss Mabel Boardman of the American
Red Cross, subscriptions to the COM
mittee are not to be covered into the
Red Cross fund, but are to be expended
without any deduction whatever. solely
for the relief of German sufferers by
women left in need. whereas the Red
Cross fund. it was said. goes for the
alienation of the sufferings Of all SOL
diers engaged in the war.
Mr.. Spier explained that a thorough UNI
derstanding was reached with Miss Board
man at the outset and that she had
actually suggested the name of the COM
mittee that subscribers might clearly I'M
derstand for what purpose their subscrfp-
tons were given. A letter was read from
DR.. George M. Kober from his summer
H.. pledging his services, and it was
also stated that many contributions
would be sent direct to Germany for
specific cases OF relief as a part Of the
work Of the committee.
Collectors Are Designated.
Fifty-four collectors have been desig-
mated. but their names and the amounts
thus far contributed, which 1t is said
make a very large sum, will not be made
public at present.
Many subscribers have pledged them
selves to weekly and monthly contribu-
tons, while still others have given large
amounts in bulk. A printed receipt,
stamped with the seal of the committee,
and signed by Cuno H. Rudolph, it's
treasurer. Is given in every instance to
the contributor.
Those in attendance at the meeting
this morning included. besides Messrs.
Spier and Rudolph, William F. Guide, DR..
Paul Bartsch, Carl A. Droop, John Han
sen, Martin Wiegand and Gustave Ben
der, the committees secretary.
