"This tremendous rallying to the sup-port-of the Associated Charities in Its Winter relief work is astounding, when one considers the vast demands that have been made upon the people by the various Red Cross bodies for relief in Europe, and by the numerous transient charitable movements that have been organized to take care of Christmas cheer for the poor on Christmas day itself."
