AMERICAN RED CROSS NOTES

. The following is authorized by the He'd Cross War Council:
 At least S2O,oO0,000 will have been appropriated for relief work in Italy by the American Red Cross by the end of the present year according to an announcement made today by the War Council. This includes all the appropriations for work in that country since the beginning of the war.
 Todav's report covering operations in Italy, IS the second of the series informing the American people of the disposition of the Red Cross War Fund. It shows that the appropria- ton for Italy up to July 1, 1918 was $1,939, ,653.50 and that an appropria- ton of $12,657, ,837,50 has been made for the last six months of the year. Of this amount S1,100,0 900 will be used by the medical unit which sails short ly to help stamp out tuberculosis in Italy
 The battle of the PiaVe, according 2 to the report, made it necessary to in - crease the original estimate for work in Italy by a million dollars. One of the biggest items of expense in the last half of the year will be the $3- 900, 900 it will cost to feed the refu- gees and the families of soldiers at the front. this work now having first place in the Red Cross activities in Italy. About 14,0o0 tons of food will be shipped from the United States each month to keep this service going More than 100 Red Cross kitchens are now providing 5000 rations daily. Finding employment for those who 1 are able to do war work has neces- l sitated an appropriation for the last ! half of the year of $3,077,14O. Twenty
