writer's at the relief given by the funds
contributed by the Kenosha Patriots
Fund letters continually pour into the
Office Of the secretary Of that organi-
cation. Below is published communi-
cation from The italian Relief Auxil-
larry Of the Chicago Chapter of the
American Red Cross. It says:
December 18th, 1918.
Dear Sir:
Through the courtesy of the italian
Consular Agent in Milwaukee and Mr..
Eugenio LaMacchia we are just in re-
ceipt Of your check for $4,000 as a
contribution to our fund for the Lost
Children of Italy, for which. we are
very grateful indeed.
We are an authorized organization
working under the auspices of the
American Red Cross and recognized by
the italian Government, and all our
work for the past fourteen months has
been directed toward relief work in
Italy. We have positive assurance
from the Bureau Of Distribution in
Rome that our supplies are being re-
ceived all the time and are being
promptly distributed throughout Italy.
The money which you have given us
will be spent for the benefit of the
children who have become orphans
Through the retreat. There are two
thousand of them in the Florentine
district alone who are absolutely desti-
tute Of relatives, and our afterwar
work is to be caring for these children.
Milk and flour are practically unobtain-
able in Italy, so we are buying matted
and. condensed milk for the babies, and
extract Of beef for the delicate chill
dren.
| As we purchase supplies with the
funds you have sent US we will be very
glad to forward you report of how
many cases are shipped, what the con-
tents are, and the date on which we
forward them.
The one following is from the Ser
bian Aid Fund:
December IA, 1918.
iGent1emen:-
| Please accept my very warm thanks,
on behalf of the Serbian Aid Fund
for your generous contribution to our
work. Formal receipt from the Treas
urer viii follow.
With the restoration of Serbia, and
the return Of the refugees to their own
localities, the work Of reconstruction
will be pushed as vigorously as our
funds permit. Serbia has suffered even
more than other devastated countries,
and little help has been given to her.
These are the critical months, when
her population, broken and enfeebled
by four years of calamity and hardship
almost unparalleled, are endeavoring to
take up their lives again, and rebuild
their ruined homes. 1t cannot but be
a satisfaction to assist in this work.
And that our efforts on their behalf,
are deeply appreciated by the Serbian
people, is constantly testified by the
letters of thanks which come to us.
It will be our pleasure to forward
to you some of these words of graft
tude. "a
This one is from the Franco-Ameri-
can Committee for the protection Of
children Of the frontier:
December 18th, 1918.
/ Your check for $500 from the Ke-
nosha War Fund has just arrived, for
which we are most grateful. Tt is very
generous to you to respond to our APP
peal in this way, and the Committee
asks me to express its sincere appre-
citation with mine for your goodness.
