NOTE.—The Red Cross wishes to invite the attention of its members and
friends to the amount contributed by the _Christian Herald_ for this
fund. Our readers will remember the large amounts contributed by this
paper in the past to various Red Cross Relief Funds, especially the
following: Japanese Famine Fund, $200,000; Chinese Famine Fund, $250,000
in money and a Government transport load of food supplies, and to the
Italian Earthquake Fund, $55,000.—_Editor._
ITALIAN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF
From Mr. Lloyd Griscom and Lieutenant-Commander Belknap final reports
have been received of the American Red Cross Relief work in Italy. A
printed report of Mr. Griscom’s American Relief Committee in Rome,
together with all the vouchers and correspondence of this Committee, have
been sent to the American Red Cross at Washington for permanent filing
in its archives. The vouchers for all expenditures have been revised and
certified to by the Banca Commerciale Italiana at Rome. The vouchers for
all the expenditures connected with the American Red Cross Relief Ship
_Bayern_ are already on file at Washington.
