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.
Foreign obligations. as1<4e front

as follows: Relief of refugees in
Greece, I200.S87.1S; Junior Red Cross
projects, $99,579.75; League of RpiI
Cross Societies, $165,000: other in
sular and foreign work, S221.S35.31.
The American Red Cross budget fot
1924-25 is $4,647.790.S5, or $868,286.9$
less than the budget for the yea*
ended last June 90.
