expenditures reached a total o F 0.-
733 MS.22, of which amount -2
696 09 was devoted to relief of refu
gees in Greece who had been driven
out of Asia Minor. In announcing the
budget for the year, the statement
from National Headquarters empha
sized the fact that its extensive work
at home and abroad depends 'almost
wholly upon the nation-wide support
of the organization through enroll
ment of membership in large numbers
during the annual roll call, which will
bo in progress from November 11 to
November 29 under the auspices of
the 3,600' Chapters in the United
States and throughout the world.
These Chapters, it is pointed out, dur
ing the last fiscal year expended of
their own funds approximately $3,920,-
000 in work fbr the men who wore the
United States uniform during the
World War, so that the estimate of
some $15,000,000 expended during
twelve months by the American Red
Gross as a whole is considered con
servative.
Soldier Service Stands First
From July 1, 1917, to June 30, 1923,
the American Red Cross spent nation
ally'and through its Chapters close to
$164,000,000 in behalf of American sol
diers who served in the war and. their
families. During last yoar the figure
alone mounted to more than $5,806,-
255, and for the current fiscal. year
National Headquarters has set aside
under the heading, "Assistance to Dis
abled ex-Service Men and Women,”
$2,065,834.20. The Chapters will con
tinue to do their part, so that it may
be predicted with confidence that
again more than $5,500,000 will be dis
bursed in the large variety of services
to the disabled men and women and
their families—services for which the
Government cannot provide and which
reach the individual case with the
sympathy and understanding only ac
tual contact can insure. This work
of the American Red Cross approaches
the fifth anniversary of the Armistice,
which ended the World War with only
slight decrease in calls for service in
the interest of the welfare and re
habilitation of those who suffered
physical disability In the service of
their country.
In the interest of the enlisted men
serving In the Army and the Navy
the budget provides $309,020 for the
current year. This Is. obligatory un
der the Red dross charter, for the or
ganization must act In matters of vol
untary reHef and as a medium of com
munication between the people and
their Antiy and Navy.
Domestic Program Extensive
The domestic operations of the
American Red Cross comprise an ac
curate indicator of the continuing
calls for expansion In all the estab
lished and authorized services. The
budget aggregates $4,636,449.70, as
against expenditures during the last
year of $4,452,066.20. The abnormal
demands in the foreign field In the
last several years, however, have
largely subsided, and-in consequence
$906,628.11 has been set for the 1923-24
budget under foreign operations. On
this amount $394,303.91 is set aside for
engagements which will close the
work for the refugees in Greece, for
whose amelioration $2,605,696.09 was
expended up to June 30, when the
American Red Cross withdrew, an<j
the work was taken over under the
control of the Greek government. For
liquidation and completion of general
relief in Europe the budget provides
$100,000, and for American Junior Red
Cross projects, foreign and Insular,
and assistance to Chapters listed un
der foreign operations.
Ready for Emergenoy Calls
The readineess of the American Red
Cross to answer Immediately with ef
fective service in cases of emergency
Is an outstanding feature of its pro
gram that Is universally recognized.
During last year $525,000, was spent
for relief In 110 disasters; which was
$207,500 in excess of budget provi
sions. This year $400,000 has been
appropriated tor this service. Since
1881 the Red Gross has administered

the Bplrlt of good will and mutual un

The work of the American Juniors
in foreign fields is emphasized in the
advancement of playgrounds, scholar
ships in farm, trade and other schools,
community and school garden work,
and donations of cash and equipment
to children’s oreanlznMnns. In these
projects $112^660.17 was spent during
