As long as three weeks after the hurricane struck Porto Rico and Florida, the Red Cross was aiding 20,236 people who were sick, of these 236 in Florida and the remainder in Porto Rico, where influenza and malaria were being treated to prevent epidemics ot more drastic diseases.

For this relief task, the American public gave the American Red Cross a fund of sum set forth in a proclamation Issued by President Coolidge a few days after news of the hurricane was received. The relief given by the Red Cross in this great emergency, spread over such a wide territory of sea and land, was everywhere commended and especial emphasis was placed upon the promtitude with which the organization responded.

And although the next day was Sunday, a Red Cross man arrived In New fork to purchase a thousand tons of food tor the Porto Rlcans, already reported to be starving, and the Navy again placed a ship for the cargo at Red Cross command. Late on Saturday evening there came another Red Cross nurse at St Croix, in the Virgin Islands, addressed a plea to tbe mother organization in Washington and gave first warning ot tbe plight of the people of the American where no family in a population of 11,000 had escaped injury. In tbe meantime the Red Cross had notified Us Florida Chapters that it stood ready for any service, In event the hurricane, headed toward them, did any damage. Not content with this, tbe Red Cross on Sunday night entrained a disaster relief director and six workers for Florida. food, clothing were (lis- patched immediately to both point3, and before the end.
