HERALD,
War Council Tells How Millions
Contributed by Public Were
Used For Relief.
BIG TASK IS DESCRIBED
In Twenty Months $154,000,000 Was
Spent Overseas and $119,000,000,
in the United States.
Washington. (Special.)—Through a
complete report of the work of the
American Red Cross in the war by
Chairman Henry P. Davison, on be
half of the war council, the organiza
tion on the eve of Its annual enroll
ment of members during the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to
11, has rendered an accounting of the
many millions given it by the Ameri
can people to help our fighting men
end our allies. The statement Is, In
part, as follows:
"The war council of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make a
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex
pended, as well ns the work done by
the American Red Cross during the
period in which the war council was
in control of its affairs, The war
council was appointed May 1», 1919,
and went out of existence February
28, 1919.
“It was the practice of the war
council to give complete publicity to
Its policies and finances, but it is only
now that a picture of the war period
as a whole can be presented, It is
the feeling of the war council that a
report In this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the ef-
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
“A statement of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
- war council relinquished Its control
will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and It is Im
portant, therefore, that the fact timi
this report covers the period only until
March 1, should be carefully noted."
Following are certain round figures
covering American Red Cross partici
pation In the war, as revealed by the
war council's report:

Washington—If the safety deposit
boxes of the United States could give
up their dead stores of fake securi
ties, enough wasted money would be
, disclosed to stagger the imagination.
If a man expects his financial barrel
to fill up, ha has got to stop up the
leaks in it. This is the keynote of a
message sent by William Mather
Lewis, director of the saving* divis
ion of the Treasury Department, «
I he Twelfth District savings directors
urging them to impress the wisdom of
holding government securities.
“Thousands of people in the United
States are losing their hard-earned
savings every day because they lack
knowledge of financial dealing,” con
tinued Mr. Lewis. Untold numbers of
fake scheme promoters and regiments
of investment sharks, because of this
popular ignorance, are pointing out
short roads to big fortunes to those
whose Liberty Bonds and War Sav
in..’* Stamps they hope to secure in
exchange tor beautifully embossed but
absolutely worthless stock certificate*.
These fakers know the value of gov
ern securities. They are anxious to
get them, for they figure that they will
soon be selling at par and above.
“They know that following the Civil
War the war issues of government se
curities soon were above par, and that
there is no well-informed person today
who does not believe that the Liberty
Bonds will sell well above par, long
before their maturity.
"But their victim* do not know these
facts, and so they trade the beat se
curities In the world for some wild-cat
that promises a high rate ot interest.
What their chances are of getting
stung is illustrated by the fact that in
Georgia out of 300 applications from a
certain type of company to sell stock
In that «tate, only two have been able
to meet the requirements under th*
bluesky law and were given permits.
“The other 298 are probably operat
ing somewhere where the going Is bet
ter. If the Amerian people would
give to the matter of spending and in
vestment money 10 per cent of the
thought they devot« to making it, the
high coat of living would be greatly de
creased. Reckless spending and fool
ish investment are elements in the
present situation which can only be
remedied by the rank and file of our
people.
“As long as easy money is in evi-
dence, the profiteer and the shark will
prosper.”
