of William Hutterworth, president
of the Chamber of Commerce of tho
United States, in endorsing the
twelfth annum roll call of tue
American Red Crosa, Nov. 11-29.
Mr. Butterworth’s statement fol
lows:
“The men engaged in carrying
forward tho business an' industry
of this nation arc quick to respond,
and respond generously, when hu
man suffering calls for their assist
ance. They welcome the existent -
of an organization authorized by
Inf rnatlonal treaty and congres
sional charter to ac^ as their
agency, and the agency of all the
people, in providing relief in dis
aster and promoting the..- beneficial
services to humanity. The nation’s
business men take particular pleas
ure in supporting The Americ
National Red Cross because It has
applied sound and efficient business
technique and administrative meth
ods without sacrifice of sympath
and understanding in the preven
tion and mitigation of human suf
fering.
•'The Chamber o! Commerce o.
the United States, as representative
of the nation's business, has such
confidence in the American Red
Cross that it calls upon its member
organizations to contribute to re

VETERAN BELIEF IS
BIS SED CBOSS TASK
Service to Disabled in Ten Years
Since Armistice Has Cost
$65,300,000.
j In this year of the tenth annlversary
of the Armistice, which enued the
wo"! 1 war. the American Red Cross
1 still finds a great army of disabled
I and sick veterans requiring assistance,
i and whose families also must be aided,
according to a statement by James L.
Fiescr, vice chalrsaa in charge of do
mestlc operations of the Red Cross at
Washington. In the ten years since
November 11, 1918, the Red Cross has
expended approximately $65,300,009
in veteran relief work. Mr. Flcser said.
There is a dally average of 25.609
disabled and sick world war veterans
enrolled In Veterans' Bureau and other
government hospitals which care for
these men and women, and about the
same annual average of veterans suc
cumbing to wounds and illness, for
whose dependents the Red Cross is
pledged to give required assistance.
Mr. Fleser pointed out.
j In addition, the Red Cross, under its
charter granted by Congress, has a
definite duty towards service men of
the regular establishment of Army.
Navy and Marine Corps, and follows
them to all foreign ports or duty. The
expenditure in this work for the year
ending June 30, 1928. was $307,458, the
annual report states.
“Upon the Red Cross rests the sa
cred obligation of carrying on relief
work for the disabled service and ex-
service men and women and their de
pendents. taking up the work where
the Government Is not able to carry
on," Mr. Fleser said. ''The Red Cross
has 349 trained workers, serving cither
full or part time in the field, in liaison
work, camps nnd hospituls. who are
always in personal contact with the
sick and disabled in hospitals, with
tho men in the regular Army, Navy
and Marine Corps, and who stund ever
ready to serve veterans back In civil
life, who need the help of * friendly
agency to aid in establishing their
rights and claims.
“To maintain this staff and to sup
port tho practical services they ren
der, the Red Cross made expenditure
of $1,1G9,795 for the year ending June
20, 192S. In addition 2.700 Red Cross
Chapters, in that number of communi
ties, who have established special
work for the disabled service anu ex-
service people, expended during the
past year $1,732,000.”
The annual report states that the
number of death claims alone of vet
erans which are handled through the
War Service at national headquarters
of tho Rod Cross, has Increased from
12,010 In 1923-24 to 24.G02 In 1927-28
During the year ending June 30. 1928,
War Service assisted Chapters in ad
justing Government claims amounting.
in benefits to veterans or their depen
dents, to $693,203.42 la awards for
compensation, insurance, adjusted
compensation, burial expenses, cte. In
addition to this amount, which repre
sentod lump Bum payments, awards
wero obtained for-$183,389 in monthly
installments of insurance and compen
sation and in quarterly adjusted com
pensation payments.
Mr. Fleser points out that Red Cross
Roll Call comes once each year, and
that It is the only occasion upon
which the Red Cross asks for funds
with which to carry on Its activities,
of which War Service is one. From
Armistice Day to Thanksgiving Duy
the American people ore asked to sup
port this work through their Red
Cross memberships.
