RED CROSS HANDLES
LETTERS TO GERMANY
Follow Plan Which Is as Spy
Proof as Is Possible to
Devise.

To prevent the possibility Of valu-
able information getting into Germany,
the American Red Cross, in sending
letters behind the enemy lines at the
request of persons in this country, is
following carefully a plan worked out
by the state department to do away
with code.
Americans, Germans or others In the
United States wishing to communicate
with relatives in Germany must now
write out their messages In Red Cross
chapters throughout the country.
These are sent through the division Of
ficers of the organization to national
headquarters. Here they are rewrit-
ten and the wording absolutely chang
ed to prevent the sending of any dia-
gram or secret code. The messages
are given to the censorship board and
are passed or refused by them as the
case may be. When they reach a neu-
trail country, they are translated on
other paper and in most cases delivered
by the Red Cross of the place, to which
they go. The plan is considered as
spy proof as it is possible to devise.
During the last % years the practice
has grown up that welfare inquiries
and messages shall be permitted be-
tween civilians In countries which are
at war with each other. The promis-
cuous sending of letters through or
CARNATIONS in neutral countries could
not be permitted because of the large
number of enemies In the country. To
Prohibit entirely the sending OF mes
would, for example, prevent a
loyal American from finding out wheth-
er his sister, unfortunately married to
Il German, was alive or dead. Pro-
hibition vas in force for a time and
pitiful appeals were received by the
Red Cross from French, Belgians and
Italians begging the society to get
word for them as to whether their peo-
pie in the occupied districts were still
alive.
The state department presented to
the Red Cross the present plan In de-
tail and asked that the Red Cross put
1t into effect. AS 1t was purely hui
manitarian work, the government
Gould do no more than supervise the
work.
Today the American Red Cross Is
sending an average Of 1900 letters a
day to persons living behind the enemy
lines. This work Is done through
Washington headquarters of the Amer
lean Red Cross by the bureau of COM
m%unication of which Edward NJ. Day is
acting director.
