Excerpt from Public Papers of Frank W. Higgins, Governor In the eastern portion of another province the yield is only 15 per cent, and three hundred thousand people are in great distress and on the verge of absolute starvation, and in a third province it is certain that over one hundred thousand persons can not live without speedy and prolonged aid. "During the late war, the great European Red Cross Societies did much to aid the Japanese Red Cross in its work of caring for the sick and wounded, but our American Red Cross, just beginning its reorganization could be of no assistance. Now the opportunity arises for us to send to these brave famine-stricken people some assistance from our abundance. The American National Red Cross will gladly receive and forward to the Japanese Red Cross, to be used for the relief of these famine-stricken provinces, such contributions as the public at large or any of its members desire to make. "The conditions in Japan, as shown by both letters and newspaper reports are too terrible and too pitiful to make an appeal to our American people prove in vain. "All contributions can be sent to Jacob H. Schiff, Treasurer New York State Branch American-National Red Cross, No.500 Fifth avenue, New York City."
