disabled veterans Of the world war.
Others Join in Warning.
Agreement with Miss Boardma s
stand was indicated by Judge John
Barton Payne. national chairman
of the Red Cross.

the Red Cross Is charged with lJcal
responsibility to the exclusion Of
national and international respon.
sibilities," he told the delegates.
Approval was also voiced by Mrs.
August Belmont, OF New York.
"If crippled nationally in our
finances, we can not raise our
heads and say what we are gong
to do in case of great disaster.
We must have money in the ma

vigorous discussion among the dele.
gates. At present the national
organization receives so cents of
each membership, whether the
amount paid be $1.0O, $500, or
$1,000. Some delegates urged that
the amount be reduced to 25
