Here Can Now Aid Relatives

there has been large demand from
them to assist In providing for their
relatives and friends in Russia.
The following plan has been estab-
lished to meet this need, and at the
same time to provide additional sup
port TO the destitute children. Under
this plan any one may remit funds by
mail only, payable to the American re-
lief administration on New York draft,
money order, or certified check In sums
of not less than $40. and in multipies
of $40 through the American relief
administration Offices in New York,
Washington, and London, for the bene-
fit of any person or group in Russia:
These remittances, 1t Is agreed, must
be accompanied by full name and ad-
dress of beneficiary in Russia, and
such remittances will be advised to
the headquarters of the American re-
lief administration In Moscow.
The Moscow Office will direct the.
various American relief administration
children's warehouses to get in touch
with the beneficiaries and deliver food.
