ROSS AID
IN SHIP FIRE
Relief Work for Victims Of the
Chicago

The services of the American Red
Cross have been cheerfully given to
the relief n comfort of passenger
landed at pier 81, Brooklyn, by the
steamship Chicago" of the French
line, which rescued the passenger
zia" of the Fabre Line while enroute
from Cuba to france. A complete
statement of the work lone to date
by the Red Cross follows:
The Disaster Relief Committee for
the Metropolitan district of New York
City, of which the Perth Amboy Chap
ter is a member, has been on duty
taking care Of passengers of the
Steamship Venezia of the Fabre Line,
which was burned at sea while sailing
from Cuba to France. The passengers
were taken off by the Steamship Chi
a of the French Line and landed
at 10 o'clock Saturday morning at
Pier 81 in Brooklyn. The Commits
sioner Of immigration at Ellis Island
could not allow any Of the passengers
to go ashore. He did, however, agree
to parole to the Red Cross any who
needed to go ashore, In the judgment
of the Red Cross. Small shopping
parties were accordingly organized
from first cabin passengers of the
Venezia, n were taken to the local
stores In Red Cross motors attended
by a Red Cross escort, where they
made purchases on their own account.
Several cablegrams were sent by the
Red Cross for first cabin passengers.
In talking to the passengers 1t was
necessary to use both French and
Spanish Interpreters. Having in mind
the coming Red Gross Drive, I had a
motion picture made Of the Red Cross
workers and first cabin passengers.
After interviewing the first cabin pas
sengers I assembled the men Of the
storage and crew Of the Venezia and
explained to them hat the Red Cross
would help them with clothing and
such things. When I asked them II
the Red Cross SHOULD take care of
the women and children first imme-
diately all the English hands went up.
When the French interpreter repeated
the question all the French hands
went up, and when the Spanish inter-
prefer repeated 1t, up went all the
Spanish hands. We then assembled
all the women and children refugees
and with the aid of interpreters from
among the passengers interviewed the
mother and their children and pro-
yfded them with two changes of ne
cessary clothing. In the meantime we
served milk to the mothers and little
children. In the late afternoon we
again served milk to the mothers Inc
children, and coffee, buns and cookies
to the steerage passengers and crew.
We then returned to the men for In
terviews n all of them needed
clothing badly, having nothing but the
scanty garments in which they stood.
We supplied all the men of the steer
