for another $100,000,000, which resulted in a total sub-
scription of more than $182,000,000, we found that the
Fourteenth Division had contributed $1,700,000 to this
fund, which meant that the Fourteenth Division had gone
over six times its quota.

One thing more: in less than a year the scattered Chapters
of the Fourteenth Division turned in a million and a half
dollars' worth of supplies, knitted goods from China and
Chile, surgical dressings from Brazil and Spain, tons of
guava jelly from Porto Rico destined for French hospitals,
and Havana cigars and cigarettes from Cuba. Red Cross
work also was carried on in the little island of Exuma -- a
scrap of land not to be found on most maps. In Costa
Rica twenty knitters called for the second hundred dollar
lot of wool in four months, and knitting needles being scarce
they made their own from cocobolo wood. The Fourteenth
Division planted the outposts of the American Red Cross
around the world.
