In addition to attempting to defeat
the aims of the food conservation
movement in Richmond and vicinity,
German propagandists have also been
active In an effort to discredit the
American Red Cross. In this, as in
their crusade against food conserya-
ton, they have been partly successful.
Hoping to poison public opoinion
against the local Red Cross organiZa-
ton German propagandists have cir
culated a report charging Red Cross
officials with dishonesty.
According to the story which has
been making the rounds of the city,
carefully nourished by the propagan-
dists, Richmond woman purchased
a heavy sweater for her soldier son.
sewed a ten dollar bill in it and then
intrusted the sweater to the Red Cross
organization in Richmond to be for
warded to her son.

received letter from her son com
