TO SUPPLEMENT
GOVERNMENT AID
Red Cross Cannot Assume
Entire Burden of De
pendent Families

The question having been raised
as to whether the Red Cross will
assist in taking care OF dependent
families of soldiers and sailors called
into service in this war. Henry p.
man, on behalf of the Red Cross war
council, authorizes the following:
Obviously the task Of providing for
the financial assistance of the fam
lilies of our soldiers and sailors is so
large that the government alone can
assume it. In no other way can the
burden be discharged fairly and as
O. matter of right rather than char
ity. No volunteer organization, or
organizations, could adequately cope
with a duty Of such magnitude.
The American people will rot, Of
course, permit families to suffer
want because their bread winners
are fighting for their country. Cases
will undoubtedly arise wherein the
allowance Of the government will not
be adequate to protect a family from
financial distress. Such instances
the Red Cross will hope to provide
for through its chapters.
The Red Cross chapters can and
will provide also the friendly SER
vices which may be needed and ac-
ceptable because Of ill-health or other
misfortune or because Of family con
ditions, which, IL neglected, would
result in need and suffering or disas-
ter to the home.
That this work may be done with
thoroughness and uniformity, the
Red Cross has published "Thc Man
uaI of Home Service for the guild
snce of chapters. This civilian re-
lief work is under the direction OF
Frank Persons, director general of
Civilian Relief.

That japanese women constantly
are taking 4 larger part Ia the acti-
vities OF the empire is shown by
recent investigations. AS in Europe.
80 In Japan, women are filling posi-
tons formerly exclusively held by
men. There are 1000 women work =
ing under the railway bureau. most
OF them ticket sellers, cashiers and
accountants, and 5000 women ind
employment in the cigar and cigar
cite factories Of the government to-
bacco monopoly. Their wages range
from ten to twenty-five cents a day.
Male clerks in banks and mercantile
houses constantly are being replaced
by women. who receive SIS TO SIS
month. Actresses receive the highest
wages paid to women in Japan. but
their clothes are expensive. and so
they are financially in no better posi-
ton than the more humble workers.
