quarters today was made to the ef
! feet that the American Committee
for Relief in Ireland had expressed
| gratitude for the contribution of
| 100000 by the Red Cross last spring
to aid conditions there. The express
sion was contained in a letter from
Judge Morgan J. O'Brien, who said

best wishes for it's success"
Messages of praise from the Japa-
nese delegation attending the con-
ference on limitation of armament
ters of the Red Cross today. Prince
Iyesata said. in a statement that "it is
eminently fitting at this time, when
the thought Of the world is turned

newed SuODOrf and encOura cement" b"
Baron kato's Letter.
A letter also was received from
Admiral Baron Kato, who said:
THE appeal of the great Red Cross
organization for renewed support and
management comes at an opportune
hour. 1t is in every way fitting that
an order which has done SO much
for the relief of human suffering
should make it's appeal at a time
toward peace. 1t will certainly not be
unheeded."
A third letter was received from
Maj. Gen. Tanaka, expressing similar
sentiments.
ITO receive such splendid tributes
from foreign representatives is most
encouraging. and spurs US on in our
present work Of enrolling $4,000 mem-
bers in the District of Columbia Red
Cross this year." said Edward A.
Mitchell, chairman of the District
branch, today.
Word has been received that incom-
plete returns from the American army
of occupation in Germany show that
more than 5000 officers and men, or
approximately IS per cent. have en-
rolled as members for 1922. The en-
rollment was entirely voluntary. En-
rollment of Americans in Europe also
has been heavy.
