| Summary |
"The American National Red Cross Bulletin, Vol. I, No. 2, April, 1906" is a historical publication issued by the Central Committee of the American National Red Cross. Written in the early 20th century, this bulletin serves as a report on the organization's activities, notably its response to the Japanese famine of 1906. The document discusses fundraising efforts, the organization of relief work, and highlights the role of the Red Cross in providing humanitarian aid. The bulletin primarily focuses on the initiatives taken by the American National Red Cross to collect aid for famine-stricken regions in Japan, where millions faced starvation. It details the appeals made to the American public for donations, outlines contributions received, including those from notable entities like the "Christian Herald," and discusses the systematic transfer of funds to the Japanese Red Cross for effective relief distribution. Additionally, the bulletin includes a section on the organization's charter and structure, as well as reports from various state branches, demonstrating the organized effort behind the Red Cross's mission during this period of crisis.
