THE RED CROSS
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Chinese
-sympathy and friendship for the
United States was shown in striking
fashion during the last Red Cross
drive for funds to carry on the
organization’s relief work in Europe.
An account of the appeal made in
China for aid for the Red Cross
was received recently from Julian
Arnold, commercial attache at
Shanghai, saying that the Chinese
of all classes “responded nobly."
America was the first nation to
solicit the active participation of
the Chinese in war relief work.
“We secured a good strong com
mitte of younger Chinese headed by
C. T. Wong, former vice president
of the Chinese Senate," Mr. Arnold
said. “Eight teams were organized
under team captains, who were
. American college graduates. These
Chinese teams worked hard and
2,000 Chinese were added to the Red
i Cross membership from Shanghai
and environs.
g ,
i “P. K. Che, secretary of the
’’ Chinese World’s Students’ Confed
r eration, carried off the honors for
h his team for the largest number of
- 1 members secured. Chu Chi Chien,
former minister of the interior, piled
e up 2,000 members to his credit.
y Chang Chien, former minister of
l. Commerce and Agriculture, added a
h good number of members,
s “There was also a Chinese wom
- an's team, headed by beautiful Chin
ese girl graduates from American
I colleges. This team secured over
t 2,000 memberships. Many Chinese
I schools in Shanghai joined as junior
s auxiliaries..
i “A number of large Chinese com
panies joined with their entire staffs.
The Commercial Press with 2,000
employees came in 100 per cent
One department store, arranged that
all its employees receiving less than
$15 a month should have 60 per
cent of the membership fees paid
by the firm, so that all the mem
bers of this large concern went
about with Red Cross buttons dur
ing the drive. The Shanghai hotels
also joined, with every waiter, bell
boy and coolie, wearing a Red Cross
with pride.
“The captain of one of the Chin
, ese teams expressed surprise at the
, general response of the poorer
classes to the Red Cross appeal. It
was no uncommon occurrence to
have a coolie on the street answer
a request to join with such remarks
US I
i “ ‘America has always been a
friend of China. She gave back
to China the Boxer indemnity and
did other things to help us. Now
I am glad to join the American
Red Cross and help America.
“A poor man, receiving wages of
less than $10 a month, sent us from
Ningpo, 100 miles south of Shang
hai, by courier post, not knowing
that China has a modern postal ad
ministration, at a cost of 15 cents
for delivery and 15 cents for re
turn receipts, $1.50 for a member
ship in the Red Cross. He stated
that he had heard his friends tell
how friendly the United States had
ben to China and he wanted to
join this great society."
YAKIMA.—A number of hop buy
ers, who last spring contracted to
purchase Yakima crops have ob
tained agreements conceling the con
tracts- on payment to the growers
of their costs up to the present time
plus one and one-half cents a pound
for the amount of hops covered by
the contracts. As a result of the
government order stopping the brew
ing of beer after December, Yakima
hop growers are laying plans for
growing other crops next year.
