" A—16 Al Religious Faiths Join in Plea fo Aid Red Cross Drive $15,017 Raised Here To Relieve Suffering In European War Star to Receive Gifts Contributions to the Red Cross campaign to relieve suf- fering in Europe’s war zones will be received and acknowledged if sent to the Cashier's Office at The Star. Religious forces of the Nation yes- terday were called on by leaders of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish faiths to marshal support for the American Red Cross drive for $10,- 000,000 to relieve suffering in war- torn Europe. The Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, Catholic Archbishop of Baltimore and Washington, said that “because of the urgent need, every one of all walks of life and of all religious faiths, must support the Red Cross in a generous outpouring of sympathy.” The Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Episcopal Bishop of Washington, declared the Red Cross is the “one international agency recognized by all peoples, peaceful and belligerent alike, as the outstanding neutral ministering to all without respect to color, race, nationality or creed.” From Rabbi Abba Hillel Silver of Cleveland came the statement that “it is our moral duty as well as our sacred privilege to do our utmost to assist our fellow human beings abroad.” Mr. and Mrs. John P.

Davis an- nounced here. Nelson Dean Jay, New York and Paris banker, who was in Wash- ington conferring with Mr. Davis, has been named Red Cross dele- gate to France and will be in charge of relief work. He is flying back to France today on the Pan Ameri- can Airways clipper. Meanwhile, Wayne Chatfield Tay- lor, European delegate of the Ameri- can Red Cross, was mobilizing hundreds of American volunteers living in Paris and France for emergency service. An emergency fund of $100,000, cabled previously, will serve im- mediate needs until additional funds are supplied. Mr. Taylor cabled to Chairman Davis as follows: “Paris and en- virons filled with Belgian and French refugees who are being sent as rapidly as possible to western and southwestern sections of France. The Belgian Red Cross has establish- ed a temporary unit here to work with refugee: The French Red Cross is working day and night with refugees, giving relief, and dis- charging its regular duties.” Chairman Davis said that so many requests were pouring into the American Red Cross it was believed better to establish liason with the Belgian and French Red Cross in Paris. It was for this reason that Mr. Jay was appointed. Bernard 8. Carter of Paris has been named asociate delegate to Mr. Jay. Encouraging replies have been re- ceived from Americans in France who are anxious to lend their co- operation, Mrs. Henry 8. Downe has offered the services of her American volunteers and the work of mobilizing these forces will con- tinue without delay under the di- rection of Mr. Taylor. The refugee situation in England is also acute. Chairman Davis yes- terday cabled the British Red Cross asking what aid can be given. The American Red Cross, it was tannounced, already has sent 40,573 garments for women and children and some hospital clothing, as well as 211,840 surgical dressings to the British Red Cross. This week, it was said, 25,000 additional garments and 100,000 more surgical dressings will be shipped. Expenditures, chief- ly for medical equipment for the British, have amounted to $96,376. Another shipment of 200,000 sur- gical dressings will be sent this week to the French Red Cross. Chairman Davis said that 63,197 garments and over 2,000,000, surgical | dressings already have been sent to | France.
