The nallent polnta appear to bo tlie.se. The Anierlenn Ked Crown Ih not being critic InccI, but the nwmner in which tho local chapter Is being eon iluetnd, Ib. That'H a distinction wltll a difference. Tho criticism Ik in tended to bo coiiHtructlvc and Kliould bo Invited and encouraged, not re sented. The committee's report did not recommend tho cloning of tho Ited t'roKH, but to the contrary, recom mended a line of future work. Tho cfunmiltee'H report never men tioned $7,000 to be raiHcd or any other umouiit. The chairman of tho Ked Cross wan nsltcd for tho hooka of tho orgaiilza tloit and promlHod them, but they never wero produced. A financial statement wna suhmltted instead and ; Vfi aoeop'tod It aa being correct. TbtH ftllitcmcnt shows 'over $K00 Hent to headuiiartera which la at the rate of $125 per' month for a year. It shows a nurso drawing $125, a field worker $100 and u accrctary $50, which totals $400 a month, if it doean't I'll eat It. ; Lust evening' urticlo Htatea In one nonteiico that there la no expense for Janitor aervlco, light, heat, telephone, etc., yet tho next sentence stntcB that theso IteniH coat $10 per mouth. Tho artlc,lo nlao states that the present total overhead will not ex creed $175 per month and they are Making $250 per month to carry on the work for tho next flvo months. Doean't thla allow that It will require $175 to administer $75, Unit 70 per cent of their receipt oven now are apent for overhead, that the people nro (talced to provldo $-!! a week to nd iilnlKtcr $19? The cxecutlvo nffairs of tho Ash land branch are handled by the Med ford chapter, but tho relief work la ; handled entirely by Ashland people unci the money collected In Ashland la dishorned In Aahland by Ashland people, without any overhead what ever and comparatively no expeusu of nny kind. Their relief work consists ' of the sunin lino of work carried on by Medford. I did not know until yesterday that tho Hick, disabled or dependent cx Hervleo men aro taken euro of by the United Staters government in tills dis trict through Dr. Clancy and his as sistants, that aid and relief amounting from' $100 to $145 per month each Is being paid to them and any ex-serv-Ico man who is III can get medical unci hospital treatment oven to the extent of a private room at the local hospital and a double shift of special nurses If necessary without any cost whatever, and that tho Hod Cross baa nothing at all to do with tho sick or disalilud Holdler. , Tho repot't of tho Klamath Kails chapter for the past year was pub lished In the Klamath Kails Evening llornlil on Krlday, April 2D, und la aa followa: Hal. on hand Juno 30, '20 . . $2,.1K3.D9 Misc.

This should hitvo been $7, otherwise my statement of tho Klamath ImiIIs matter stands uncontradicted. It has boon stated repeatedly that there iH no secrecy about the alfalis of the organlmtlnn.
