In another district all that was left
OF family of five was a father, whose
mind became unbalanced when, after
days search, he found the mangied
bodies Of his wife and three children.
And, as the kilograms poured into
the division with fresh news of suffer
ing, the Red Cross responded immedi.
ately with supplies or money. Not
one appeal remained unanswered.
Then from Meridian came a call for
clothes. Men and women were found
with scarcely a shred of clothing; ba-
bies were nearly naked. The New Or
leans Chapter took hold of this appeal,
and the Women's Department, under
Mrs. Chas. Buck, sent out huge boxes
Of clothing and shoes, donated by the
citizens 81 New Orleans, who respond
ed to a call on their generosity.
With reports OF three hundred peo-
pie killed, fifteen hundred seriously
injured, minor injuries not estimated,
and nearly four thousand people home
less, the Red Cross, with the help of
the Quartermasters' Department, sent
out five hundred tents, ten thousand
blankets, five hundred cots, sheets,
pillow cases, clothing, bed jackets and
surgical dressings and fifteen thou
sand doIlars in cash. This sum WaE
augmented by. donations from many
Of the local chapters, some of which
almost emptied their treasures to pro
vide relief.
And the work of the Greatest Moth
