Kentucky officer urges Red Cross to extend Balkan relief
Lt. Col. Edgar E. Hume of Frankfort heads the American commission for relief in the Balkans. He urges the Red Cross to continue aid in Serbia for at least a year, citing dire hospital shortages, lack of rubber and soap, worn linens, and scarce medicines. He notes a Belgrade sourced train of supplies and calls for aid to orphans, proposing expanded relief despite limited foreign workers.
