This latter committee, through miscellaneous contributions, an additional $1,611,584. Of course much of this big fund Prrom the united drive—3170,500.000— {was spent in work at the war camps in this country, but a great.deal of it also went into relief work abroad. U. S. Supplies 80 Per Cent. As a fragmentary illustration of 1how the United States has poured its succor unmeasured, Secretary Hoover reported that S0 per cent of the s total allied relief up to 1919, was supplied by the States.

In view of the recent tense tuation due to the activities of Chinese’ bandits, there was an incli- nation to conmect this movement of officers with that matter. It was ex- plained at the War Department, how- ever, that the travel orders issued under the policy adopted a year ago to concentrate movement of officers in changes of stations dur- ing the summer months so far as practicable and that this -had worked out successfully for forces in China Officers ordered to the Chinese sta tion and to other points in the Pa cific are under orders to leave New York in a transport which will sail via the Panama Canal within a month or so. Officers returning from China will also come on one ship. The new policy was worked out in order to minimize the disturbance of ice school courses by the coming and going of officers and also to per- {mit a saving in travel expenses in relation to assignment of officers for duty at the summer training camps. s now arranged, officers ordered from one station to another are sent by a route and at such a time that the can stop off at the t ning camps to serve as instructors before continuing their journeys to report t new posts. A very considerable aving in travel costs is estimated to have been made in this way. Under orders just issued a “R :rve section, G-2" has been organ zed_in the War Department, headed by Maj. Charles F. Thompson, gen- eral staff, now in charge of the pre: | relations office of the military intel- lizence division of the general staff. He will be assisted by Maj. J. H. Cunningham, coast artillery, also on duty with military intelligence, and eventually ccrve officer personnel be added to this group. Both Thompson and Maj. Cunning- will continue to perform their nt dutics, taking up the reserve work in addition. The new section is designed as a ans of e hlishing contact at the War Department for reserve officers iting Washington and who have interest in their professional with the Regular Army. 1 that with the pres Org; busy with its irs there was lacking some within the department to s reserve officers were given possible attention and that the had the benefit in an organized way of suggestions which they fre- quently bring in and that prove of great value in working out the na- !tional defense stem.

In the above summary or some of the principal bits of | mosaic. it will promptly be noted that i some agencies have not even been mentioned. For example, there is the very active society, headed by Miss Anne Morgan, which is still at work— the American Committee for Relief of Devastated France—which is sending “good will” delegates across. This one organization has spent many mil- lions of dollars. Many Organizations Ald. Then_ there is another organization which had a great vogue during the war—The Fatherless Children of France. There were innumerable or- ganizations which did widespread and extremely useful service in the de- vastated regions both during and since the war, in Germany, Austria, Poland and Russia. Another example —a group of wealthy women in Phil- adelphia sent a unit to France which did a magnificent plece of work. Units were also sent overseas by Smith, Vassar, Barnard and other colleges. It is estimated by those who have made a close study of the conditions that from $250,000,000 to $500,000,000 A year has been sent to Europe since the war, which did not go through or- ganized channels, but which must surely be counted as relief work. Then, there must not be overlooked another great aid to stricken Burope by American tourists who are spend- ing $250,000,000 to"§350,000,000 a year abroad.
