"A great net of thirty drawn through
am ocean of unspeakable pain".
How Was the Last War Fund Spent?
I
IT is a fair question and it is fairly answered in the
detailed and itemized reports that have been pub
lished in the newspapers of every town and eity of
the land.
You never saw it? Then ask at the nearest Fled
; Cross Chapter, or write, for the Red Cross wants you
I to know where your money went.
?f They say that Red Cross supplies have a way of
coming through on time.
Italy surely has found us not wanting in prompt
ness when her great trial came.
And Roumania they said no allied nation could
get through to help her dire need.
But the Red Cross found a way.
It's not always a cheap way "Needs must"
j, costs money. But did you give that money to be
f saved or to saw lives? Are you not willing to pay
five dollars or fifty to bring something of comfort to
a war racked, tortured mortal who but for you would
surely die?
And of one thing you may be sure. Not one
penny of that Hundred Million has gone for anything
but War Relief;
In the Red Cross there is no high salaried bureau
cracy; no extravagant administration expense. All of
the higher officials and nine-tenths of the workers are
unpaid volunteers.
The cost of raising and collecting the last War
Fund was about one-half of one per cent., more than
covered by the banking interest on the money.
K;
I't Your Red Cross needs another hundred million to
lighten just a little of the awful loatf of misery "over
there. Your share is all that yqu can give and
then a little more.
Will you hold up your end?

That money went, dollar fofj dollar, where it did

No use, we can't figure this Red Cross task in cents

There's the whole path of ruin from Belgium to
Switzerland, just to visualize one thing at a time. If your
Red Cross money went there it very likely provided pots

repatriated people.
