complete report of the work of the
American Red Cross in the war by
Chairman Henry r. Dawson, on be-
half Of the war council, the organiza-
ton on the eve of its annual enroll
ment Of members during the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to
IL, has rendered an accounting of the
many millions given 1t by the Ameri-

and our allies The statement Is, In
part, as follows:
"The> war council of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make a
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done by
the American Red Cross during the
period in which the war council was
In control of it's affairs. The war
council was appointed May 10, 1919
and went out of existence February
IS, 1919.
ut was the practice of the war
council to give complete publicity to
Its policies and finances, but 1t is only
now that picture of the war period
as whole can be presented. 1t is
the feeling of the war council that a
report in this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the eff
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
"A statement of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished Its control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and it is i'm
portant, therefore, that the fact that
this report covers the period only until
March l, should be carefully noted"

patton in the war, az revealed by the
