Wilson to-day, in a telegram to the
Harrisburg Chapter, told of his
creating within the Red Cross a war
council to which will be entrusted
the direction of relief work.
President Wilson's telegram fol-
lows:
Il have to-day created within the
Red Cross a war council to which
will be entrusted the duty of re-
spending to the extraordinary de-
mands which the present war VIII
make upon the service of the Red
Cross, both in the field and in civil
and relief. The best way in which
10 impart the greatest efficiency and
energy to the relief work which this
war will entail will be to concentrate
it in the hands of single eX-
perienced organization which has
been recognized by law and by in
ternational convention as the public
instrumentality for such purposes.
Indeed such a concentration of ad-
ministrative action in this matter
seems to me absolutely necessary,
and / hereby earnestly call upon all
those who can contribute either
great sums or small to the alleviation
of the suffering and distress which
must inevitably arise out of this light
for humanity and democracy to con-
tribute to the Red Cross. 1t will be
one of the first and most necessary
tasks of the new war council of the
Red Cross to raise great sums of
money for the support of the work
TO he done and done upon a great
scale. | hope that the response to
off nrtc xtsfll hn 4 cf n
of the generosity of America, and
power of genuine practical SYM
pathy among our people that will
demand the admiration of the whole
world"
The head of the new war council
is Henry p. Dawson, of j. p. Morgan
and Company, who said in accept
ing the post that all the vast facili-
ties of the Morgan firm would stand
behind the American Red Cross for
the duration of the war.
Former President Taft, chairman
of the Red Cross Central Committee,
win serve with the council, whose
other members are Charles ID. Nor
ton. Cornelius n, Bliss, Jr, and G.
Mp. Murphy, of New York; Edward
y. Hurley of Chicago, and Elliot
Wadsworth, of Bostor.
Headquarters of the council will
he in Washington, but branch
