THE chapters have. in effect, re-

Vast Sum Turned In.
at will thus, be seen that during
the eighteen months which have
elapsed since the United States en-
tered the war the American people
will have either paid in or pledged
to the American Red Cross for its
work Of relief throughout the world,
in money or in material values, net
total of at least 1925, 100000.
This outpouring Of generosity in
material things has been accom-
panied by spontaneity in the CIV
ing. by an enthusiasm and a devotion
in the doing. which. after all. are
anything measured in terms of time
or dollars.
'It has-.been because of this spirit,
which has pervaded all American Red
Cross effort in this war. that the aged
governor of one of the stricken and
battered provinces of France stated.
not long since, that, though France
had long known of Americas great
ness, strength and enterprise. it re-
NAMED for the American Red Cross
in this war to reveal Americas heart.
'In this country, at this moment,
the workers of the Red Cross, through
it's chapters, are helping to add to
the comfort and health of the mill

environments, as we'll as of those

barking on ships for duty overseas.
Home Service Extends Aid.
"The home service of the Red Cross,
with it's now more than 10000 workers,
is extending its illustrations of SYM
pathy and counsel each month to up
ward of 100000 families left behind by
soldiers at the front-a number ever
growing with the increase of our men
under ar'1S.
But, OF course, the heart If the Red
Cross lnd its money and attention
always move toward and focus them
selves in Europ: Nothing is with
held that can be given over there to
supplement the efforts of our Army
and Navy caring for our own boys
Our satisfaction is in the result,
which, we are assured by Secretary
Baker. Gen. Pershing, Gen. Ireland
and all our leaders, is of inestimable
value and of indispensable Importance.
by the first of January your Red
Cross will have working in France up

'sYour Red Cross now has a. dve op-
Grating commissions in France, IN Eng

have sent a shipload of relief supplies
and a group Of devoted workers to
northern Russia; you have dispatched a
commission to work behind our armies
in eastern Siberia; you have sent special
representatives to Denmark. to Serbia
and to the Island of Madeira.
"Your Red Cross is thus extending re-
lief to the armies and navies Of our al
lies. We are told by those best inform
ed in the countries of our allies that the
efforts of your Red Cross to aid the
soldiers and to sustain the morale of the
civilian populations left at home, espe-
cially in France and Italy, have ,consti-
tuted a very real factor in winning the
war.
What the Red Cross may be called
upon to do in the further course of the
war, or with the coming of victory,
peace and reconstruction, it would be
idle to attempt to prophesy. But your
great organization. in the very truth
the modified heart and spirit of the
whole American people, has shown it.

whole American people to answer the

total actual collections to date from

TO the foregoing must be added
that very large contribution of ma
terlals and time given by the millions
OF women throughout the country.
For the period up to July I, 1918.
American Red Cross chapters. through
their workrooms, had produced 490.-
10 refugees garmets: 7.123,621 hos
pital supplies, 10.7S6.4S9 hospital gar
ments. 10,134,501 knitted articles,
of 221,2S2.s3S articles-of an esti-
mated aggregate value of at least
100000.
Product of Women's Hands.
These articles were largely the
product of women's hands, and, by the
same token. infinitely more precious
than could have been the output of
factories or machines. These articles
going to the operating rooms of the
hospitals. to homeless or needy refu-
gees, and carrying comfort to our own
boys in the field, convey message
of love from the women of this coun-
try entirely distinct from the great
money value attaching to their handi-
work
by the terms under which the first
Red Cross war fund was raised the
chapters were entitled to retain %
per cent of the amount collected, in
order to defray local expenses, to car
ry on their home service work, to pur-
chase materials to be utilized in chap
ter production and otherwise to meet
the numerous calls made upon them.
The chapters were thus entitled to re-
tain nearly $29.OO0.O0 AS a matter
of fact. their actual retentions
amounted to only about $4,000, 900.
Out of collections from annual menu
berships the chapters have retained
about $11.000,00O-
