RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent $1,000, 1000 for Relief Of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress In FIVE famine stricken prov
lnces Of Northern China, where mil
lions Of persons were affected BY an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than 81, 200 900,
81, OO0, 900 Of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups IN
terested in the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible 1t il estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re-
lief measures by thesorganixation may
always be possible the Red Cross u
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people by universal renewal Of
membership at the Annual Red Gross
Roll Call. November II to "A.
The method Of relief employed by
the American Red Cross In its opera
lions In China was particularly effec-
tive, for in addition to saving hundreds
of thousands Of lives it provided China
with more than 300 miles Of permanent
roads that are sorely needed to pre-
vent a recurrence Of famine. At one
time the Red Cross employed $4,000
Chinese workmen, paying them In food
for themselves and dependents, this
food being brought in from Manchuria
and elsewhere.
