Thus far the civil war in Spain has been no major problem to the Red Cross, for the reason that both Leftists & Rightists have so many well-organized, passionate, money-collecting friends. U. S. citizens have donated just $1,054 to their Red Cross specifically for Spain. The International Red Cross has received $57,000 from the American Red Cross for Spanish succor, dispassionately divided between Rightists & Leftists. The American Red Cross spent $41,000 repatriating U. S. citizens caught in Spain by the war and unable to escape by their own efforts. Some of the very ablest mercy work...

In annual session at the Bradford Hotel, 20 ancients of the Grand Army of the Republic rose to their shaking feet, quavered a unanimous protest. In the State Legislature, a committee investigating subversive activities was given another month's lease on life, and Representative Francis X. Coyne introduced a bill to remove the tax exemption of any educational institution employing a known Communist or Fascist...
...hoax the Roman Catholic Church, Father Walsh took pains to pack the body against tampering. His pains were rewarded. The body of Andre Bobola arrived in Rome on All Saints Day 1923, was unpacked in the presence of cardinals, physicians. Vatican officials and Father Walsh. The false screws, the Red Cross sheet which Father Walsh had sewed up and sealed-these were intact, and so was Father Walsh's calling card which, as a last precaution, he had placed in Andre Bobola's scalped skull...
