American Red
Cross Notes

Wv. Az. hiilOuuCoiileHb Oh
an appropriation of $3.50, $50 for
the relief of Belgians not under
tho rule of Germany is made
today by the War Council of
American Red Cross. The sep.
aration of relief work in Bel
GUM from that in France was
determined on by the War
Council owing to the difficult
ties Of communication and
transportation in France. BY
establishing a new department
at Nave, the present seat of the
Belgian Government, the Red
Cross program of relief in that
part Of Belgium still outside the
German grip, will be well under
way before winter begins. In
cluded in the appropriation.
also, is money to supplement the
already over-taxed hospital re
sources of the Belgian Govern.
ment,
Oct. l2.-To aerve the Ameri.
can troops and the hundreds of
war hospitals behind the French
firing line, and to reach the
thousands of French refugees,
the Red Cross Commission to
France has established q system
of thirteen large warehouses
throughout France. Six of
these have been located III Paris,
which serves as the center Of
the distribution system. APP
proximately 1900 tons of ma.
terial are now being distributed
monthly from these warehouses
by the Red Cross Commission.
a large proportion of these sup
plies is received directly from
U. s.; but, owing TO the great
shortage of ocean tonnage,
large supplies have been pur-
chased in France. The ware
houses in Paris alone have Il
capacity of 100000 cubic feet
and can take care of 60, 900 tons
of supplies at a time. These
supplies are handled in true
American fashion, and ut one
of t h Q warehouses, railway
freight cars are run into the
building for unloading. Ameri.
can college, French and Belgian
soldiers no longer tit for mill
tary duty are directing the
work.
Oct. 1.-THE Allies must pro-
vide living necessities for their
soldiers who are captured, be.
cause the Central Powers are
not providing prisoners of war
with sufficient food to keep
them in good health. BY ur
rangment with Germany and
Austria, prisoners are permitted
to receive extra rations and
clothing from their home gov
ernments. The Red Cross has
Just shipped 5000 bags of flour
for Serbians in Austrian prison
camps. To follow this ship.
ment, consignments of food
stutfs and clothing for Serbians
are now being assembled by the
American Red Cross. The raw
ages of war in Serbia are said
to have been even worse than
in Belgium and Roumania and
many Serbians have been en-.
!irely dependent upon America
for relief.
Oct. Is In order not to di-
vert attention from the Liberty
Loan Campaign, Red Cross
Theatrical Day, which was to
have been observed Oct. 20, has
been postponed uutil Dec. Z.
The receipts OF many theaters
throughout the country as well
