Report of Red Cross Audit

We, the undersigned, the auditing
committee of Gem County Chapter
of American Red Cross, do hereb'
certify, that on the 9th day of August,
1918, we completed an audit of the
treasurer's books of the Gem County
Chapter of American Red Cross;
That said audit consisted of check
ing of all items of cash received, az
shown by said books, against the bank
deposits of said treasurer, as sh wn
by the banks statements, from VIII, j,
it appears that from the 14th day of
April, 1917 to the 30th day of Ju..e,
1918, there has been received by said
treasurer the sum of S6,614.71; the
audit further consisted in checking
of the items of expenditure, as shown
by the treasurer's books, against the
vouchers of the secretary and the -.
ceipts of the parties to whom pay
ments were made, from which it ap-
peared that there has been expended
during the period beginning April ID,
1917, and closing June 30th, 1918, the
sum of s6,609.S5, that said sum has
been paid out upon the duly author
lied and authenticated vouchers of
the secretary and president, in ac-
cordance with the purposes for which
said money was received, and that
there was in the hands of the trea-
surer at the close of business June
80, 1918, the sum of S4S6. We found
that the books were and had been at
all times kept in strict compliance
with the rules provided for the pur-
pose, and that they are full, true and
accurate as we believe.

ABOUT SOLDIERS. MAIL
Address Letters Properly and be Pa
tient Is Advice.

Don't Stop writing to your man in
service "over there" because Uncle
Sam is little slow in delivering his
mail. That is the advice of Otto
Praeger, Second Assistant Postmas-
ter General, who has issued circular
letter in regard to mail for soldiers in
Europe.
Few persons know how devious is
the route of a letter mailed in the
"home town" and directed to a man
overseas, Praeger states, and fewer
still stop to consider that mail for a
million and a half men is being de-
livered to several hundred camps. All
mail for the American Expeditionary
Forces is handled by the United
Stated postal service, which delivers
it to the proper military postal author
tiles in France. Mail orderlies with
every unit of the army keep the main
office informed of the transfer of in
dividuals or regiments.
Complaints arise chiefly, Praeger
says, from the fact that persons COM
municating with our troops do not
take into consideration that approx
mately thirty days are required from
the time of mailing until letter
reaches the addressee, owing to the
disturbed ocean traffic. Another cause
of complaint is the insufficient man
ner in which mail is addressed For.
eign governments refuse to forward
mail which is improperly addressed.
Between 100000 and 2,85O,000 let
tiers is part of the cargo Of each fast
vessel, sailing irregularly, to which
the mail is intrusted.
"Don't write to any department in
regarding the non-deliv-
cry of mail to members of the Ameri-
can Expeditionary forces" Praeger
advises. 1.-THE War Department is too
busy delivering mail to spend time
up complaints. Address
your letters properly, then have pa
tience."
