Tho aceiiBHtloim of iulNS.-itnteincntH
In tho Ited t'riMH matter In Inst cvcn
itiKH Ihhuo of your paper compel a
reply, othcrwlKO I would not nitk for
further valuable space In your paper.
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

U will bn noted that this chapter
closed Its year with a balance of $25iin
on hand and it appears strange In
deed If they wanted to do all the
things mentioned why they left them
iihdnuo with that amount of cash on
hand. According to Mr. l.esllo ling
ers, cashier of the Klrst Nuttoniil
Hank of Klamath Kalla and u mem
ber of the Ited Cross committee, the
Item of $!M.3U coinprlscM local char
ity In the form of loans to ex-service
men unci needy families. The Item
"public! health nursing $970.71" rep
resents charity in the form of aid to
the sick, food for tho needy, etc The
report of their activities Is nearly a
column long und Hev. Ijiwrcnce's
nuiiio Ib not mentioned, neither la nny
montlon lnndo of u Kurd Coupe.
Thcro was a typographical error In
my urticlo In that 1 said "The total of
their other expense was less than $5
per month for tho year." 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. Then why not
publish tho Identical financial report
that' wan submitted to the committee
and a copy tf tho committee's report
one) lot ,tho publics, who put up the
money, judge for themselves? I will
agree to pny linlf of tho bill nt regu

thut I have made ono single false
stntement I'll pay tho cntiro bill nnd
publicly apologise besides, provided
tho directum of tho Hod Cross will
