been any set-up whereby monies re
ceived through the sale of Red
Cross goods can get back to the
Red Cross Society. If Red Cross
articles are sold it is not with the
sanction of the Red Cross, and
somebody is trying to do harm to
an Institution whose sole motive is
to assist our soldiers in every pos
sible way in the discharge of the
serious duties to which they have
dedicated their lives.
We would urge our people not to

the largest made at one time and

order. The leaders of the Red -Cros
