NEW HAVEN May 20 That administration of the Red Cross work and funds in France is in capable, strong and efficient hands was stated by Anson Phelps Stokes of Yale just in Paris in a letter to Colonel I M Ullman chairman for Connecticut Red Cross campaign now in full swing today. Mr Stokes said his observations of Red Cross canteens, storage warehouses, unions, hospitals, tuberculosis sanitoria, and other places convinced him that the work is of the largest significance. The central organization at Paris is in the hands of men of the largest ability, character and devotion. The plan of work is well conceived and the American people should be proud of the work being done by the two greatest philanthropic organizations, the Red Cross and the Y M C A.
