Chicago May 13 The War Council of the Red Cross is created to direct relief work during the war with Henry P. Davidson of J P Morgan & Co as head. Other members include Charles D. Norton Cornelius N Bliss Jr Grayson M P Murphy Edward N Hurley and Eliot Wadsworth. The council plans a nationwide fundraising campaign and will operate a Washington headquarters with a New York branch to handle Europe bound supplies. Davidson says millions will be needed and that he will devote his time to this effort, aiming to aid France and later Russia and other allies by sending seeds and tools to restore agriculture and ease the economic burden of war. The Red Cross expects to announce a national appeal in June while noting American public awareness is still low.
