For this accomplishment the Afberlcnn Juniors earned the hearty endorse ment of tho League of Red Cross So cieties for Its "creation of an Inter national spirit of human solidarity among young people with a view to preparation of a new civilization for peace." The. forthcoming annual report of the American Red Cross for the year $1,441,486 A YEAR'S DISASTER RELIEF COST Red Cross Aided 145,000 Vic tims in Uniter^ States-Losses Total $30,000,000.

Seventy-two disasters, with hun dreds reported killed and Injured, and more than 145,000 either homeless or requiring assistance, called for emer gency relief measures and the cx pendltiv of $1,441,480.80 by the i Red Cross during tho Qscal Mn Juno 80, 1022, according ?;men|| based on the forth nnual report of the Red The greatest toll of lifo was taken by hurricane and tornado, while the overflowing of rivers, tho breaking of dams and torrential rains drove the greatest number of people from their homes. The property loss was estimated at mor*? than $80, 000,000. The year's disasters reported In i eluded twenty-six floods, nineteen tor nadoes, fifteen fires, four epidemics, two thcatro collapses, two shipwrecks (one an airship), ond o bridge col lnpse, mino explosion, railway colli sion, and a drought.

A National Calamity In the Rod Cross disaster relief records there will probably remain for many years one calamity which touched nearly every state with a sense of horror and of loss. This was the distressing collapse of the roof ; of tho Knickerbocker Theatre In Washington, D. C., resulting In nine ty-six deaths and 125 persons Injured. Situated In tho center of the beauti ful Northwest residential section, this motion picture theatre wss patronized by many persons of prominence both In the official and civil lifo of tho Na tional Capital, whoso family and per sonal connections radiated out over, the entire country. The horror was Intensified by a terrific snowstorm which, though, It retarded, did not block Red Cross relief.

During" the year $50,022.70 was con tributed toward the fund, in which on July 1 there was a balance of $201, 301.58. S. Army's large airship Roma In Vir ginia last February with the loss of 34 officers and men nod ll injured was the first disaster of Its kind to call for Red Cross relief In this country. The suddenness of the accident tested the preparedness of the organization and of the Chapter at Hampton, Va., but the response was Immediate"ond\relief furnished the. survivors, nlso funds for 'the expenses of relatives of the dead, who came from long distances to claim their own. Tn the year's oversea record for aid rendered by the Red Cross are two fires In the Philippines, one in Manila, which destroyed 1,000 homes, with a loss of $1,500,000 and 5,000 persons made homeless, the other at Tonio, which drove 3,000 from their dwellings. In medical relief that was quick and effective the smallpox'epldemlc In San Domingo, which had a total of 22,000 ca%s with 225 deaths In a single day, tested the readiness of the Red Cross for action, and the same can be said of the San Domingo hurricane, which killed 12 persons and reduced the homes ef 182 persons to wreckage. A flood In San Salvador, with a death toll of 50 and 2,000 refugees, was also effectually handled by ike local Chap ter of the American Red Cross.
