In answer to charges that there has been extravagance in the management of the Red Cross Society and that expenses have been abnormal a report has been issued which gives details that ought to satisfy the most cap tious. So far it has taken less than one per cent, of receipts to collect more than $100,000,000 subscribed last summer. Most of the work of the organization is conducted by men and ..women without salaries. Only a few of high executive ability are paid what may .be called salaries, while the rest of the expense is for clerical work which cannot be expected to be voluntary.. Re cently the organization's contro passed into the hands of some o the eminent business men of this country, who have adoDtedmeth ods of accounting and administra tion which would do credit to the most soulless corporation. There is now no opportunity for graft or for leakage. Where the money has been spent is set forth as well as the items for each country. The Red Cross has been sending mil lions to all parts of the war zone and thinks it can get along at the same rate until spring.. Then there must be a call for more funds at a time when our boys are going into battle and wil need every possible assistance. That there will be a generous re sponse need not be doubted. There are those who have a no tion that the War Department has abandoned all the wounded to the care of this private insti tution. That is pure ignorance. The Red Cross has been active in raising "ambulances." which are field hospitals fully equipped with surgeons, nurses and ma terials. but these are turned over to the War Department, which is also raising units of its own. The nation cares for its wounded. What the Red Cross does is to act as an auxiliary in providing nurses and dressings and in com forting the sick and wounded. n other armies it does much or all of the work at its own ex- pence. The plain truth is that ftie Nation could hardly do the work of the Red Cross on any terms. t could not even commandeer at any price the labor which is now given'as a loving service. The women who knit and sew and make bandages are necessary to proVide the hospitals with sup plies and they must fropi now on work much harder than ever be- 'ore. The Red Cross is rjrohablv the most efficient, most economical and most praiseworthy institution outside religion which . ever en tered the service of mankind. t needs your help light along.
