Red Cross War Fund drives mercy and relief work nationwide
A broad appeal describes the Red Cross as an all American volunteer force authorized by Congress and led by President Wilson. It details war relief in allied countries, support for veterans and orphans, tuberculosis care, and the use of donated funds with a note that each dollar goes to war relief while dues cover administration. Donations from Decatur area businesses and individuals are listed.
