CHAIRMAN -HF.NRV T7 'MYERS-
H. W. Meyers, chairman Willam
ette chapter Red Cross, gives, some
facts and figures. also states that
the chapter will pay $100 reward to
nail Red Cross lies;, this amount will
be paid to the person proving that
the Red Cross is composed of graft
ers or that any of the local I noble
men and women working in the in
terest of. the Red Cross are salaried
workers, or receiving any remunera
tion whatsoever. j5 ;i f ij-
'You've heard about the logger,
who is supposed to have written re
garding his purchase 1 of a pair of
socks made for the soldiers." J '
'You've heard about the workers
and those Interested in Red i Gross
getting rich from Red Cross re
ceipts." , j,
"You've, heard about solicitors for
.membership getting a commission,"
These are all lies 'and proven -so,
yet there are traitors and fools who
carry on' these Red Cross lies, ; The
Red Cross will take means to appre
hend ail such transmitters of. these
falsehoods and give them the oppor
tunity of receiving the reward1 of
fered or take -the consequences. y ' ;"
Two very Important things have
marked the .first" Red Cross' war

are the great 10,000,000 new mem

dollar will aspist to meet the urgent
demands, for the-last three, months
Red Cross shipments to Europe' have
ranged from 10,00 Oto 15,000 tons of
Fiinnlfe each month. This has been'
accomplished by the wonderful na
tional. spirit of the men and women
of America, when it is known that
the. Red Cross supplies over 4000
hospitals in France with surgical
dressings, how vitally Important are
our shipments. Henry T. Davidson.
the Red Cross chief, says for every
dollar received by the Red Cross it
spends more than a dollar to help ou "j
soldiers and relieve our allies at ihc
front. This is made- possible from
the accrued interest on the enormous
f und on deposit. . As the overhead
expense-is so low. due to the volun
teer f help given this j wonderful or
ganisation. - and all salaries paid
comes from membership dues and
enough. rmalns to carry on . relief
work. He funds provided for Red
CrosR work In Halifax came from
membership dues. The contribution
Of $250,000 for work in China came
from (the same fundi $21,000,000

workers are In service; "think of an
organization capable of cleaning, and
feeding 10.000 soldiers per day. as
well- a sterilizing their clothing:
this Is the personal touch that, raises
the morale of the men and causes
them to realize that amidst the whir
or battle, the spirit of patriotism and
sympathy flows through the Red
Cross. y A- . ") - ' '
