as strong as work, and stronger. You

The report of the American Red

30, 1918, has just been presented to
Secretary of War Baker in accord
ance with the provision of the Red
Cross charter which requires the
organization to make a full report of
receipts and expenditures to be

War Department in turn transmits a
copy of the report to Congress.
The report shows that up to the
end of the fiscal year 1918, the Red
Cross appropriated $107, 716,34S to
carry on its work abroad and at home.
OF that amount 500, 7SS,672 went for
relief work in foreign countries, ST.

and $4,945,5 57 for relief work In vari-
Gus countries on work. specified by

SOLDIERS HOME
FROM OVERSEAS
ENJOY CANTEEN
Newly Invented Red Cross Bun
Pleases Capricious Palate
of Returning Doughboy.

Whether sea breezes have whetted
their %appetites OF whether overseas ex-
periences have made them hungrier men
nobody seems to know, but every can
teen worker is ready to bear testimony
that returning doughboys do greater
justice to the leafs" provided them by
the Red Cross than have soldiers at
any time during hostilities.
We've welcomed returning Sammies
with 491, 1916 sandwiches and zoos, 1870
cups of coffee during the last FIVE
months" a canteen worker said the
other day, land 1t would do you good
to see the way those boys fall to- on
what they cali Red Cross chow OF
course there is no charge-we Just
give 'em the goodies as they come"
Not only "chow" but stamps and sta
tionery are given away at the can
teens to the recently landed soldier,
for often th boys have no money and
everybody is invariably eager to send
a letter to the home folks at the first
opportunity.
Introduce New Bun.
Then there are sweets. When a
chap hasn't had even sugar for his
coffee in many a month, a honest-to-
goodness sweet is like a gift from
heaven. The Red Cross knows all
about this and Atlantic Division can
teens have added sugar-coated buns
to the toothsome leafs" which they
give way.
Shortly after the bun dispensing was
started 1t was found that the much
coveted sugar icing rubbed off the top
and so the poor soldier often lost the
best part of the treat. For which
reason some nimble witted woman de-
cided to put the icing inside the bun
just as jelly is placed inside a jelly
roll. 1t vas tried. 1t worked. And
now scores Of doughboys daily pass out
of Red Cross canteens promising to
spread the fame of that bun even unto
the remotest parts of theye United
States. Mothers and wives are to be
initiated into the mysteries of its con-
