RED CROSS WEEK JUNE 1926;
DESIGNATED BY PRESIDENT
First Aim to Render Service to
Americas Soldiers No Matter
Where They May Be.

Washington, June 14.-The spe-
pcific purposes to which the Red Cross
expects to devote the $10O,000,00O
it has asked the American people
to contribute are enumerated by
Henry P. Davidson, chairman of
the organizations war council.
President Wilson has set aside the
week of June 18 to rs as Red Cross
week.
!, ..:Our first obligation is to render
such service as comes within the
province of the Red Cross to our
soldiers and sailors at home and
abroad" the statement says.
"After making every provision ne
cessary for this purpose, our endeav-
or will be to supplement the efforts
of our allies in caring for their sick
and wounded.
Aid for Russia.
1--WE shall help provide the bare
necessities of life to the homeless In
devastated France; to aid them to re-
habilitate themselves and thus
strengthen the man power of the
French army.
I'VE shall strive. to hearten Russia
by providing additional' ambulances
and other relief for the sick and
wounded along the battle front. We
shall try to succor the homeless and
wandering peoples of Poland, Lithu-
ania and western Russia.
eve hope to extend aid to those
who are fighting the battles of lib
.erty in Rumania, Serbia and Italy
indeed to relieve human misery ev-
erywhere among our Allies.
1--WE have set $10O,0OO,OO0 as the
minimum of our need. It is evident
that we could use many times that
amount. To administer these funds
economically and efficiently we are
developing an organization headed
by some of the most competent AM
erican business men. They serve
without pay.
Report Will Be Made.
t'In due course we shall make a
report to Congress so that the pub
lie may know the total amounts ex-
pended and how very small a per-
centage was found necessary for ex-
penses.
"The American people can rely,
therefore, upon the fact that the
Red Cross war fund of $10O,00O,O0O,
or however much more than that the
generosity of the public will enable
us to use will be administered as ef-
ficiently, as economically and as
large heartedly as we know how to
do it.
1--WE believe firmly that the ef-
forts of our Red Cross can be vital
and possibly a deciding, agency in
helping win this war"
