Red Cross Society Aid From Newfoundland and Canada
News from Newfoundland reports Dr. Grenfell and local fishermen aiding the Red Cross in the wartime relief effort. A fair on the French Shore raised over $400, and Canada has donated 28 motor ambulances, with two sent to the Duchess of Connaught Hospital and two to France. Indigenous communities, including Wiarton and Blood reserve Indians, provided socks and gifts, as Queen Alexandra urges continued contributions to the Red Cross fund for the soldiers of the Dominion.
