RED CROSS YEAR’S COST $21,366,255 Nearly $12,000,000 Devoted to Helping Victims of Great Japanese Earthquake. OVER 3,000 BUSY CHAPTERS Aid to Disabled War Veterans Paramount and Reaches Nearly $4,000,000. Washington.—More than $21,000,000 was the total of funds expended in all activities of the American Red Cross during the last fiscal year, ended June 30, says a statement i* sued by the National organization. This expenditure was almost one sixth of the amount of money dis bursed by the Red Cross in the war year, July, 1917, to June, 1918. Of this extraordinary sum $11,631,303 wa« America's contrftmtlon to the Rod Cross for relief of the Japanese earth quake victims. This was increased to ?11.76S,S03 by appropriations from general funds of the Red Cross, and it represented probably the largest spon taneous outpouring of beneficence of a single nation in the history of the world. Over 3,000 active Chapters expend ed during the year $4,869,000, the Na tional organization disbursed $16,497, 255.35, making the total $21,366,255.35 —all tor humanitarian work which reached practically around the world. In announcing the year's record of American Rea%Cross industry the ex ecutive officials at Washington empha size the fact that the extensive and never-halting work of the Red Cross depends almost wholly upon the na tion-wide support of the organization from the memberships enrolled during the annual roll call which this year will be in progress from Nov. 11 to 27, when everyone is asked to join or renew their membership in the American Red Cross. Soldier Service Paramount Service in behalf of the disabled veterans of the World War and their families is a paramount obligation of the Red Cross. The organization, through its Chapters, is constantly in touch with this duty in 2,609 communi ties throughout the United States— the Chapters alone during the year ex pending in service for veterans about $2,000,000. The National organization expended $1,735,825-—a total of $3,735, 825 applied to assisting war sufferers toward recovery from disability and distress. This work is constant in hospitals, sanitariums, camps, soldiers’ homes, in the community. For example, in helping disabled men and women in places where they were transient resi dents $173,076 from national funds alone was required to help solve their problems. Every Red Cross service is ever at hand ready to meet the in i dividual need of these men and , wouiefe f The enlisted men In the Regnl.$, Army, the Navy, and the Marine Corps, with their home ties, mean a never-ending Red Cross service which figures cannot fully interpret. In this worh a total cf $GS5.285 was applied: In Meeting an obligation under the| Red Cross charter which has been ful filled for ever 20 years. Domestic Operations Extensive In the past year Red Cross opera tions were almost wholly confined to continental United States and the insular possessions. Relief work fol lowing disasters called for immediate activities in 192 places and a total of $737,603.87 was spent in this service ’ alone. In 33 major disasters trained workers were kept at the work of rehabilitation for many months. In carrying on the health activities a total of $444,886 66 from Red Cross ■ national funds, and SS08.000 from Chan ter treasuries—appropximately $1,252. 886 In all—was applied, giving some idea of the extent of Red Cross ser vice in the fields of public health nursing, nutrition instruction, and spreading knowledge of personal hy giene and care of the sick in the home. For advancing the cause of human safety, the First Aid instruction, local ly hy Chapters and over extensive national territory by the Red Cross Instruction car covering trunk line railroads, and in teaching water safety and increasing the membership of the Red Cross Life-Saving Co'-ps the total cost was 823S.284.71. of wl ich $216,234.71 came out of national funds Army cf Over 5,500.000 The Junior Red Cross in the schools — with over 5,500.009 in its "1 Serve'S ranks—was aided with $233,510.73 tej which it is estimated the Chapters add. »d some $277,000—a total of S510.Slft.T8j In various other domestic activities thet Red Cross spent $233,473.19. and th*» Chapters in their numerous voluntary services expended an additional $1,048,000 during the year.
