Red Cross War Fund Drive Set For May 20
The War Council of the American Red Cross postponed the second War Relief fund drive to May 20 to avoid clashing with Liberty Loan efforts. The drive, set eleven months after the first launched June 18, 1917, aims to raise $10,000,000. The first campaign raised over $105 million in gifts and pledges, with $17,008,121 allocated for legal relief through Red Cross Chapters. The remaining funds included $77,1915 appropriated and a balance of $10,871,217 available for relief work.

Red Cross Named Official War Film Distributor
The American Red Cross is designated by the government as the official and exclusive distributor of war pictures and slides. In the Southern Division, covering Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas and Tennessee, the Bureau of Publicity will handle orders for chapters and theaters. National headquarters in Washington already holds five films and two sets of slides, with more ordered for Atlanta delivery at a small rental. The films show scenes from France and Europe and depict Red Cross work and wartime activities for American audiences.
