tricts, including care of five thousand
families and sufficient reconstruction
to make houses habitable, required
over two millions.
Misery on an Unparalleled Scale.
These are all large items; but the
Red Cross is graphing with human
misery on an unparalleled scale-a
world Of it. The item for relief of the
blind amounts to four hundred thou
sand dollars. The dispensary service
sends supplies to more than thirty-four
hundred hospitals. The Red Cross re-
ceives and distributes more than two
hundred tons of supplies daily at Paris.
For this distribution and its other
work it requires a big transportation
service of motors and trucks. This
transportation. service has cost mill
lion and a half, and it's operating ex-
penses run to a million dollars.
Every dollar it spends means misery
alleviated. Its work is building abroad
for the United States the best good will
in this world. 1t is building the best
good will among ourselves. Whatever
else the war may produce, we shall be
proud Of our Red Cross.

that it is public knowledge that Allied
diplomats recently refused to meet
Mr.. Wallenberg or to attend functions

Last autumn the Italian army fell

thousands of poor families fleeing from
