You realize that when you watch how ayiators are

porary commission, the $1,662,016,
appropriated for budget to May l.,
1918, and the $32,230 plus $ss,2s0,
received in Italy, the American Red
Cross has thus appropriated since
November l for relief work with SOL
diers and civilians of its ally Italy
$4,771,990. In addition to above ap-
preparations the war council has ap-
proved a cooperative arrangement
with the Italian Red Cross whereby
the former will assist in re-eQuip-
ping for field hospitals in Italy, many
of which were lost or damaged in the
retreat of the Italian army. No ap-
preparation has yet been made for
this last enterprise, but it is expected
that about $4,000 will be needed
for the equipping of nine tent field
hospitals of so beds each, and motor
transportation for these and for
three large front bass hospitals. The
necessary appropriation will be made
as soon as detailed figures are pro-
yided by the Italian Red Cross.
