munication between the people ant

Domestic Program Extensive
The domestic operations of the
American Red Cross comprise an &C
curate indicator Of the continuing
calls for expansion in all the estab
lished and authorized services. The
budget aggregates s4,636.449.70, as
against expenditures during the last
year of S4.452,O6e.2O The abnormal
demands in the foreign field in the
last several years, however, have
largely subsidized, and in consequence
S906, 1928 II has been set for the 1924
budget under foreign operations. On
this amount 1894, 303.91 is set aside for
engagements which will close the
work for the refugees in Greece. for
whose amelioration S2,605.69609 was
expended up to June 80, when the
American Red Cross withdrew. and
the work was taken over under the
control Of the Greek government For
liquidation and completion Of general
relief in Europe the budget provides
100000, and for American Junior Red
Cross projects, foreign and insular,
and assistance to Chapters listed I'M
der foreign operations.
Ready for Emergency Calls
The readiness of the American Red
Cross to answer Immediately with ef-
fective service in cases of emergency
is an outstanding feature of its pro-
gram that is universally recognized.
During last year S525,00O was spent
for relief in 10 disasters, which was
s207,500 in excess of budget provi-
sions. This year 100000 has been
appropriated for this service. Since
1881 the Red Cross has administered
more than s2O,OOO.OOO in relief work
following disasters.
other budget items in the schedule
for. domestic operations include ST.
282,5242O for service and assistance
to the 5000 Chapters and their
Branches; $4,000 for assistance to
other organizations, particularly
stressing child health activities; S194.-
500 for Junior Red Cross projects and
service; S1O,824.2O for assistance to
Nurses Training Schools, and for 9TH

Washington.-With a budget Of So
643,077.S1 for carrying out the pro-
gram Of service during the current fis-
cal year, beginning July 1, the Ameri-
can Red Cross announces that this
amount was s4,195,97O.41 less than
was expended during the fiscal year
ended last June 80. During that year
expenditures reached a total Of 49,
73S,44S.22, of which amount $685.
696.O9 was devoted to relief of refu-
gees in Greece who had been driven
out Of Asia Minor. In announcing the
budget for the year, the statement
from National Headquarters empha-
sized the fact that its extensive work
at home and abroad depends almost
wholly upon the nationwide support
of the organization through enroll
ment of membership in large numbers
during the annual roll call, which will
be in progress from November II to
November 20 under the auspices Of
the 5000 Chapters in the United
States and throughout the world.
These Chapters, 1t is pointed out, dur
ing the last fiscal year expended Of
their own funds approximately S3,92O,-
600 in work for the men who wore the
United States uniform during the
World War, so that the estimate Of
some S15.000,OO0 expended during
twelve months by the American Red
Cross as a whole is considered con-
sentative.
Soldier Service Stands First
From July l, 1917, to June 80, 1928,
the American Red Cross spent nation
ally and through its Chapters close to
S164, 000,O 900 in behalf Of American sol
diers who served in the war and their
families. During last year the figure
alone mounted to more than $780, |
255, and for the current fiscal year |

under the heading, Assistance to Dis
