ITO DISASTERS IN YEAR
ENLIST RED CROSS AID
Nearly $400, 900 Spent in United
States - Greek Refugee
Work Completed.

For its preparedness to render re-
lief through effective and generous aid
to the sufferers from disaster the
American Red Cross is universally re-
garded as the one organization from
which response to appeal for help is
immediate. In the last year, accord
ing to the annual report Of the Red
Cross, it's disaster relief operations
were carried out in 110 localities in
the United States. This work, with
activities carried over from the previ-
GUS year, required the expenditure in
the United States Of 1897 ,46S.04 by
the American Red Cross, it's Chapters
and Branches. In the emergency fol
lowing the defeat of the Greek forces
in Turkey and the burning Of the city
of Smyrna, which entailed the relief
Of nearly 100000 men, women and
children, Red Cross National Head
quarters expended $2,605 $1,000. The
food distributed in Greece aggregated
$4,000 tons; garments, 100000; blan-
kets, 4S,550; new shoes, 5000 pairs;
medical, hospital and sanitary sup
plies, 304 tons. In the feeding of the
refugees there was listed upwards of
$4,000 children under three years of
age.
The disasters in the United States
during the past year reported 240 per-
sons killed, 991 injured, 1851 rem
dered homeless. The total property
loss was estimated at $20,710,000.
Relief of suffering caused by disas-
ters of such magnitude as to over
whelm the resources of the communi
ties in which they occur is fundamen-
tai to the charter of the American
Red Cross. In addition to making ap-
propriations from it's treasury and as
signing trained personnel to relief
work, the Red Cross in disaster cen
tralizes and makes more effective re-
lief funds and supplies contributed by
the country at large.
Since 1881 the Red Cross has ad-
ministered more than $20,000,000 for
the single purpose Of disaster relief.
That it may continue to accept the re-
sponsibilities which grave emergen-
cies place upon the American Red
Cross appeal is made for a nation
wide renewal of membership during
the annual roll call, which opens on
Armistice Day, November II, and
closes on Thanksgiving Day, Novem-
ber 20.

Life Saving Work
Of Red Cross Corps
Wars on DroWnings

The insignia Of the American Red
Cross Life Saving Corps on the bath
ing apparel of men, women and
youths is seen everywhere at favorite
bathing places along the coasts, riv-
ers, lakes and ponds. In it's unrelent-
ing campaign to reduce loss of life by
drowning the Red Cross Is making
constant headway. The demands for
instruction from organizations in all
parts of the country were so numer-
Gus the past year that it was neces-
sary to more than double the staff of
Red Cross instructors. This work OF
training for water life-saving showed
an enrolment of over 10000 volun-
teers enlisted for duty on patrol, for
rescue and resuscitation, all compe-
tent to instruct others in the standard
water-safety methods. The Red Cross
by request of the War Department
gives water first aid training at the
United States Military and Naval
academies and in the military training
camps for reserve officers and civil
ians. The four cash prizes awarded
by the Red Cross last year for heroic
rescues were conferred upon two girls,
a boy and man, indicating that the
youths of the country stand we'll at
the top in conserving life along our
water courses.

mounted to $60,216.54, while an addi-
tional $33,350 was forwarded for the

the merchant ships 4,141. or the to-
tai membership outside the United
