REPORT OF THE SECRETARY OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCIAL
COMMITTEE
To His HONOUR, SIR JOHN S. HENDRIE, K.C.M.G., C.V.O., CHAIRMAN, AND
MEMBERS OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCIAL COMMITTEE.
GENTLEMEN :
I have the honour to submit the following report on the response of
the Province of Ontario to the appeal of the British Ked Cross Society
and the Order of St. John, together with a somewhat detailed account of
the steps taken to bring the appeal before the citizens of the Province.
On the evening of September 29th, 1915, His Honour, Sir John S.
Hendrie, K.C.M.G., C.V.O., received the following cablegram :
" SIR JOHN S. HENDRIE, C.V.O.,
" Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, Government House, Toronto.
" I beg to inform you that the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John,
in view of the great demands upon their resources, both in France and the Near East,
have decided to make an appeal throughout the Empire, by street and other collections,
upon the 21st day of October next.
" The money received from this appeal will be devoted entirely to relieving the
sufferings of our wounded soldiers and sailors, from home and overseas, at the various
seats of war, from all parts of the King's Dominions. We have already received
generous assistance in our work, but with the increase of British and overseas forces
at the front there is a corresponding increase in our expenditure, and we shall be truly
grateful to you if you will help us by organizing an appeal and sending the proceeds
to us for the objects which I have named.
" I shall be greatly obliged if you will kindly communciate the foregoing to your
Government. Their Majesties the King and Queen and Her Majesty Queen Alexandra
are giving us their gracious patronage, and I trust that you will also be able to see
your way to help.
" LANSDOWNE,
"President of the British Red Cross Society,
" 83 Pall Mall, London."
In accordance with the appeal, His Honour laid the message before
his Government on the morning of September 30th. It was at once
decided to issue a special proclamation dealing with the appeal and to
take steps to have it brought to the attention of the citizens of the
Province at the earliest possible moment. Accordingly, a number of
prominent citizens of the City of Toronto were called to meet the mem-'
bers of the Cabinet at four o'clock on the afternoon of September 30th.
This meeting was composed of prominent workers in the Canadian Red
Cross Society, the Canadian Patriotic Fund, the Speakers' Patriotic
League, and representatives of the Press of the City.

No. 56
After reading the message, His Honour pointed out what appeared
to him significant in it, namely, it was the first appeal for help from the
Motherland to her colonies; it was an appeal for a " One Day " offering
to aid the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John of
Jerusalem in the tremendous task which has been laid upon them of
caring for the sick and wounded soldiers and sailors from home and over-
seas at the various seats of war ; and it had the approval and patronage
of Their Majesties the King and Queen and Her Majesty Queen
Alexandra. His Honour then mentioned the steps which had already
been taken in bringing the matter to the attention of the Government of
the Province and the action which the Government had taken upon it.
The representatives of the Canadian Red Cross Society without hesita-
tion expressed their complete agreement and assured His Honour and
the members of the Government of the hearty co-operation of their organ-
ization in making the response to this appeal a satisfactory one, both in
the Province of Ontario and throughout the Dominion of Canada. The
other gentlemen present also promised their hearty co-operation, and it
was decided to appoint a Central Provincial Committee to prosecute
vigorously the organization of the various municipalities of the Province.
Dr. Albert H. Abbott, who had been acting as Secretary of the Speakers'
Patriotic League, was appointed Secretary of this Committee, and a
small Committee was appointed to name the members of the Central
Committee.
i
On the morning of October 1st this Committee met and appointed
the following gentlemen members of the Central Committee:
His Honour, Col. Sir John Hendrie,
K.C.M.G., C.V.O.
Hon. W. H. Hearst.
N. W. Rowell, Esq., K.C., M.P.P.

At the same time it was decided to send a Night Lettergram to the
Mayors and Reeves of the Province so that the appeal might be brought
to their attention at the earliest possible moment. Accordingly the follow-
ing lettergram was sent to the head of every municipality, <m the even-
ing of October 1st:

" TORONTO, October 1, 1915.
"I beg to inform you that Lord Lansdowne has sent me the following cablegram:
" ' I beg to inform you that the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John,
in view of the great demands upon their resources, both in France and the Near East,
have decided to make an appeal throughout the Empire, by street and other collections,

" ' The money received from this appeal will be devoted entirely to relieving the

" In view of the urgency and importance of this first appeal that the Motherland
has made to us, I confidently trust that you will at once organize with a view to getting
a worthy contribution from the people of your municipality on October 21st.
" JOHN S. HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor."
On the morning of October 2nd, the members of the Committee met
and organized with the following officers :
His Honour, Sir John Hendrie, Lieutenant-Governor, Chairman.
Hon. W. H. Hearst and N. W. Rowell, Esq., Vice-Chairmen.
Hon. T. W. McGarry, Treasurer.
Dr. Albert H. Abbott, Secretary.
The Provincial Government assured the Committee of their willing-
ness to supply the money necessary to cover the expenses of the Central
Committee, so that every cent which reached the Treasurer from the
municipalities of the Province would be sent direct to London.
Major Dinnick was asked to organize the campaign in so far as the
newspapers and billboard advertising were concerned, and Frank H.
Rowe, Esq., was asked to secure a list of gentlemen willing to address
meetings, and to supply them with such information as they might need
about the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John.
The Secretary was authorized to prepare circular letters to various
representative persons throughout the Province, and was urged to use
every endeavour to have these sent out at the earliest possible moment.
At the same time the Committee authorized the suggestion to the
municipalities of various means of securing contributions, in addition to
the recognized methods of canvassing, as follows :
A day's pay (Oct. 21st) from wage-earners;
A day's receipts from theatres and picture houses;
Collections in the churches on the preceding Sunday;
Collections in the schools and educational institutions;
A Flag Day on October 21st.

His Honour, the Lieutenant-Governor, sent the following circular
letter to all Mayors and Keeves of the Province. With this letter were
enclosed a facsimile of the original cablegram and a copy of the Pro-
clamation of the Government, as published in the Ontario Gazette of
October 1st :
" GOVEltXME.NT HOT si:.
" TORONTO, October 1st, 1915.
" DEAB SIB:
" The Motherland has made its first appeal to its loyal subjects beyond the seas in*
all parts of the King's Dominions. The tremendous demands which have been made
upon the resources of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John, and
the even still greater demands which will be made upon these organizations, in view
of the Allied Forces now taking the offensive in France and in the Near East, have
led them to appeal to the British Dominions for help. The appeal is sent out by the
Marquis of Lansdowne, President of the British Red Cross Society, under the gracious
patronage of Their Majesties the King and Queen, and Her Majesty Queen Alexandra.
The day set apart for the collection of money to meet this appeal is, most fittingly,
Trafalgar Day, October 21st. This appeal has come to me as Lieutenant-Governor of
the Province of Ontario, as it goes to every representative of His Majesty throughout
the world, and I send it on to you supported by the enclosed proclamation by the
Government of Ontario.
" I feel sure that nothing need be said in support of this appeal, made in the interests
of those who are fighting and suffering for us. It calls upon our humanity quite as
much as on our loyalty; our soldiers and sailors who are wounded have nobly done
their bit it remains for us at home to see that nothing is left undone which can be
done to relieve their sufferings.
*' May I call your attention also to the fact that the funds collected through this
appeal will be devoted to the care of sailors as well as soldiers. The Empire is justly
proud of the remarkable work of its Navy, and we in Canada may very well regard
this Trafalgar Day collection as in a special sense a tribute to the valour of our sailors.
" Our own Canadian Red Cross Society has been doing noble work in caring for the
wounded in the Canadian Overseas Forces, and has from time to time made substantial
grants to the British Red Cross Society, as its funds would allow. The appeal from
the British Red Cross Society is quite apart from any call which our Canadian Red
Cross Society has made, or will make, upon us, and I am glad to be able to inform you
that the Empire's appeal is sent on to you with the hearty approval and co-operation
of the President and Executive Committee of the Canadian Red Cross Society. You
may, therefore, call upon the men and women of your municipality, who have doubtless
been working, as those in other localities, for the Canadian Red Cross Society, with the
assurance that the Canadian Society is not merely willing that they should help in this
special one-day collection, but, more than that, it would urge them to give every help
in the same unstinting way to it as they have given their work for the Canadian
Society. Further, as this appeal comes to every loyal subject in the British Empire, I
would urge that no section of your community be overlooked, either in the organiza-
tion or in the collection. Let the response come from every member of your com-
munity.
" In submitting this appeal to you, and- as you submit it to the men and women
you may call together, may I suggest that the following points may well be emphasized:
"This is the first appeal of the Motherland to Canadians during the present war;
it is an appeal for one day in particular and should not be allowed to interfere with
the regular patriotic work which your municipality is undertaking: it is the only
1916 I'.KITISH li'KD CROSS FUND. 13
appeal which has come to us in any form in which the sailors of the Empire are
explicitly included. For these, and doubtless many other reasons which may occur
to you, I would urge upon you to endeavor to make the response from your muni-
cipality worthy of the great cause to which the funds will go.
"Yours faithfully,
"JOHN S. HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor."
His Honour, the Lieutenant-Governor, also addressed the following
circular letter to all Members of Parliament and Members of the Legis-
lative Assembly in Ontario :
" GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
"TORONTO, October 6th, 1915.
" DEAR SIR:
" The Marquis of Lansdowne has sent an appeal to me, and through me to the
Government of Ontario. I enclose a copy of the cablegram which I received, with
the proclamation of the Government and a letter which I have sent to the Mayors and
Reeves of the Province. You will see from this appeal that the British Red Cross
Society, in anticipation of the tremendous demands which will be made upon it owing
to the general offensive movement now being undertaken by the Allied Forces, both
in France and in the Near East, has appealed to all parts of the King's Dominions for
a contribution on Trafalgar Day, October 21st. May I take the liberty of urging you
to do everything in your power to arouse the people of your constituency to the pressing
needs of the moment if our wounded and sick sailors and soldiers are to be adequately
provided for?
" As thurc has never been a war in which the number of men engaged is at all
comparable to the magnitude of the armies in the field to-day, and the nature of the
fighting has never given such a high percentage of wounded, there is no means of
comparing the demands made upon the Red Cross Agencies in the past with those made
upon them to-day. In spite of the effective organization which has been reached, the
Red Cross Society has to face the possibility of this organization becoming ineffective
unless money is forthcoming to provide drugs, dressings and needed Kelp. The appeal
of the British Red Cross Society, therefore, is one which will stand the closest scrutiny.
We may well feel that no matter how liberal the citizens of our Province and of the
Empire may be, the need will still be in excess of the contributions.
" Yours faithfully,
" JOHN S. HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor."
At the same time the Prime Minister, Honourable W. H. Hearst,
sent a personal letter to the Conservative Members of the Legislative
Assembly, and N. W. Rowell, Esq., Leader of the Opposition, sent a
personal letter to all Liberal Members of the Legislative Assembly. Each
of these personal letters urged the Members to co-operate in every way
possible with the municipalities in their constituencies in placing the
appeal and the work of the British Red Cross Society and the Order of
St. John before the citizens, so that a response worthy of the Province of
Ontario might be secured.
14 BRITISH RED CROSS FUND. No. 56
As rapidly as the circulars could 436 prepared, the following were
sent out :
1. A circular letter to all Protestant Clergymen of the Province.
With this was enclosed, to all Presbyterian Ministers, a general appeal
from the Rev. M. MacGillivray, D.D., Moderator of the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church in Canada; and to all Methodist Ministers
a similar appeal from Kev. S. D. Chown, D.D., General Superintendent of
the Methodist Church, and Kev. T. Albert Moore, D.D., Secretary of the
General Conference. The various Bishops of the Church of England in
Ontario issued special pastorals to their Clergymen, or tjommunicated
with them in other ways ; and Archbishop McNeil, through his Bishops,
made special appeals to the members of the Roman Catholic Church.
2. A circular letter from Honourable G. H. Ferguson, Acting
Minister of Education, to all the teachers in Public and Separate Schools,
and in the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes of the Province.
3. A circular letter, issued under instructions from the Honourable
James Duff, Minister of Agriculture, from George A. Putnam, Esq.,
Superintendent of Institutes of the Province, to the officers and members
of Ontario Women's Institutes.
4. A circular on organization in rural municipalities to the Reeves
of townships and villages.
5. A circular on organization to the Mayors of the cities and towns
of the Province.
6. Circulars on Red Cross work and the British Red Cross Society,
and a Red Cross Catechism, to several hundred speakers, to newspapers
and to the Principals of the larger schools.
In addition to the circulars sent out from this office, special mention
should be made of the circular prepared by the Canadian Red Cross
Society and sent by the Executive Committee to every branch of their
organization throughout Canada. This circular was prepared in the
form of an Emergency Bulletin. It contains a copy of the cable from
Lord Lansdowne and a special request to the officers of all Provincial
and Local Branches, asking that immediate action should be taken to
make known the contents of the Bulletin to branches of the Red Cross
Society and to all others working for the Red Cross. The folio wing is
quoted from the Bulletin:
" The Executive Committee of the Canadian Red Cross Society, in order to ascer-
tain the views of its Patron, H.R.H. the Governor-General of Canada, as to the part
which the Canadian Red Cross Society should undertake in this matter, at once com-
municated with His Royal Highness and received from him the following gracious
letter:
"2nd October, 1915.
" SIB:
"An urgent appeal sent to all parts of the Empire emanating from the President
of the British Red Cross Society, Lord Lansdowne, has reached me in behalf of aid
to the funds of that Society.
1916 WMT1SII I.'UD CUOSS FUND. 15
" I need hardly say that both the Duchess and myself are in warmest sympathy
with this movement, and that we fully approve of any action which your Society may
undertake in furtherance of the object in view. The organization of the campaign in
Canada has been undertaken by the Governors of the several Provinces of the Dominion,
:->nd will culminate on the 21st October.
" We shall be glad to hear that your Society will promote the object in view in
every way possible through your branches, in co-operation with the committees estab-
lished by the Provincial Governments, and that it may result in an offering worthy
ol' the Dominion, and the more so as this is the first appeal which has been made to
the generosity of the Canadian people by the British Red Cross Society since the out-
break of the war.
" Believe me,
" Yours sincerely,
"(Signed) ARTHUR.
' Xoi;i. MARSHALL, ESQ.,
" Chairman, Canadian Red Cross Society, Toronto.
" A meeting of the Executive was immediately called thereon and the following
resolutions were passed and are now promulgated for general information of Provincial
and Local Branches throughout the Dominion:
" Resolved, That all officers and members of the Canadian Red Cross Society be
called upon to co-operate cordially with their Provincial Government Committees in
every way possible to further the appeal of the British Red Cross Society.
"Resolved, That all collections in response to the special appeal made upon October
21st, 1915, be paid directly to the local Treasurers appointed by the several Provincial
Governors, and not to the Treasurers of branches of the Canadian Red Cross Society,
as this appeal is entirely separate from the ordinary appeal of the Canadian Red Cross
Society, being Empire-wide and direct from the parent society.
"Resolved, That the Provincial and other branches are clearly informed that this
collection is limited to the operations of one day, viz., October 21st, 1915."
Equally with the Canadian Red Cross Society, the officers of the
Canadian branch of the St. John Ambulance Association were active in
the good work. As soon as the appeal of His Honour, the Lieutenant-
Governor, was received the executive met and gave instructions for the
issuance of a circular to be sent to all officers and centres throughout the
Dominion, as follows :
" To ALL OFFICERS, ST. JOHN AMBULANCE ASSOCIATION.
" DEAR SIR OR MADAM :
"The earnest attention of all Centres of the St. John Ambulance Association is
called to the proposed Trafalgar Day collection in aid of the Joint Committee of the
British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John, on Thursday, October 21st. In
view of the great demands upon the resources of both organizations in France and the
Near East, the Joint Committee has decided to make an appeal throughout the Empire,
by street and other collections, and the money received from this appeal will be devoted
entirely to relieving the sufferings of all wounded soldiers and sailors at the various
seats of war, from all parts of the King's Dominions.
" As the St. John Ambulance Association is the Ambulance Department of the
Order of St. John, working in close co-operation with the British Red Cross Society, as
are the Canadian Branch of the St. John Ambulance and the Canadian Branch of the
Red Cross Society, the appeal is heartily concurred in, and the officers of every Centre
16 BEITISH RED CROSS FUND. No. 56
of the Association are requested to immediately get into communication with the Local
Branch of the Red Cross Society, if such exists, and with municipal bodies and other
organizations, which would co-operate in carrying out a campaign on the lines suggested.
" As the time is short, it is earnestly requested that this matter be given the
immediate attention of your Centre, so that the best results may be obtained.
" It is suggested that all funds collected be forwarded to the Lieutenant-Governors
of the several provinces, for transmission to England, through His Royal Highness the
Governor-General."
In some places the officers of the two organizations are one and the
same; in others, where no Keel Cross Society existed, the St. John
ambulance centre promptly took the lead in the appeal. According to a
statement received from Mr. Fred. Cook, Honourary Secretary of the St.
John Ambulance Association in Canada, there are some thirty thousand
first-aid graduates throughout the Dominion, of whom at least ten
thousand reside in the Province of Ontario. Thanks, therefore, to the
activity of the Canadian branch of this association,, the Provincial Com-
mittee was enabled to enlist the services of many men and women in
this great movement on behalf of the British Red Cross.
In connection with the Publicity Campaign so ably arranged, both
for the Province and for the City of Toronto, by Major W. S. Dinnick,
certain facts should be noted. J. J. Gibbons, Ltd., offered their services
to the committee in connection with the newspaper campaign and sug-
gested the preparation of six advertisements in two sizes, which might
be sent free of charge to the newspapers of the Province. The art work
and the zinc etchings were prepared at no cost to the committee, and it
was estimated that the committee might secure approximately $25,000
worth of advertising if paid for in the usual way, at a. merely nominal
cost, the only expenses being the preparation of plate matter, shipping
charges, the printing of form letters and postage. There are 460 news-
papers published in the Province of Ontario. Of these 440 published
the advertising matter submitted to them, in whole or in part. The
committee is indebted to the newspapers for giving the use of their
columns free of charge, and to J. J. Gibbons, Ltd., for the way in which
the newspaper publicity was prepared and conducted.
The E. L. Ruddy Company, Ltd., offered their services in connec-
tion with billboard advertising and prepared posters of two sizes, the
larger size measuring 10 x 25 feet. Both the preparation and the printing
(including the paper) were donated by the Ruddy Company and the
billboards were provided, as well as the putting up of the posters, at no
cost to the committee. Approximately $10,000 worth of advertising w$is
contributed in this way. The posters were used in more than seventy-
five of the most important cities and towns of the Province. The only
expense in connection with this advertising was the express charges.
The committee is indebted to Mr. Ruddy and to Mr. Frank H. Rowe for
the generous part they took in the advertising throughout the Province
and in the City of Toronto.
1916 JHi'iTliSJi JiED (JllOSS FUND. 17
In addition to the above, the head office of the National Chapter of
( 'nnada of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire circularized all
Chapters of the Order throughout Canada, urging their co-operation in
connection with the British Red Cross appeal.
It is interesting to note the many important circles in each com-
munity which were directly touched by the publicity given this appeal:
1. Every Mayor and Reeve, together with the members of the Muni-
cipal Councils of the Province.
2. Most of the newspapers, and through them their many readers.
3. The many who would be reached in the larger toAvns and cities
by billboard advertising.
4. All the clergymen of the Province Protestant and Catholic
the greater number of whom certainly devoted some attention in their
church services to the appeal.
5. Every school teacher in the Province, and through them the chil-
dren of the Province.
6. Every member of Parliament and members of the Legislative
Assembly.
7. Every branch of the Canadian Red Cross Society and of the Order
of St. John.
8. Every Women's Institute, which would mean at once a very large
proportion of the women in the rural communities of the Province.
9. Every Chapter of the Daughters of the Empire.
10. Many hundred managers of banks throughout the Province, who
were sent special literature regarding the Red Cross appeal through their
liead offices.
11. Every group of Boy Scouts and Girl Guides the Boy Scouts
in particular, largely because of their greater numbers, proved most
valuable. The appeal reached them through His Royal Highness, the
Duke of Connaught, Chief Scout for Canada, and through H. J.
Hammond, Esq., Assistant Commissioner of the Boy Scouts for Ontario.
12. In addition to these, though in part overlapping some of the
groups, should be mentioned the several hundred speakers to whom
specially prepared literature wjas sent.
It became evident early in the campaign from the correspondence
reaching the central office, that this publicity was bearing fruit and in
most parts of the Province was meeting with a hearty response. Organ-
ization in the various municipalities was effected in many different
ways in some the school children, in others the Women's Institutes,
the Daughters of the Empire, the Women's Patriotic Leagues, etc.,
formed the nucleus of the organization through which the canvass of
18 BEITISH EED CEOSS FUND. Xo. 56
the citizens was made, while in a few cases the churches were
and the contributions gathered largely through collections taken in them.
In many municipalities "Flag Days" in various forms were arranged,
while in many of the larger centres the business men of the community
organized to conduct the canvass. As was natural, the larger the city
the more complex the organization needed. In Toronto, in particular,
the organization was probably the most complete that had ever been
effected. A Campaign Committee with the following officers was
formed :
Honourary President, His Worship, Mayor T. L. Church.
President, J. W. Woods, Esq.,
Vice-President, Arthur Hewitt, Esq.,
Honourary Treasurer, Sir Edmund B. Osier.
Honourary Secretary, F. G. Morley, Esq.
G. A. Warburton, Esq., the veteran organizer of short campaigns,
accepted the position of Organizer. Under his direction twenty-live
teams, with approximately ten members in each team, undertook the
work of canvassing. Some of the features of the Toronto campaign are
worthy of special mention. Not merely did these many business men
devote their attention almost exclusively for three days to the campaign,
but hundreds of others were organized to make a house-to-house canvass
of the city, four being assigned to each postal route. This was done in
about two hours on the evening of October 21st. A Ladies' Committee
was formed under the Presidency of Mrs. H. P. Plumptre, under whose
direction almost every church in the city was opened to receive contri-
butions on October 21st. Practically every school of the city took up
the appeal, and both children and teachers contributed most liberally.
One of the striking features of the campaign was the school children's
parade in which about one hundred and twenty-five elaborately decorated
automobiles proceeded in line to the City Hall, where each school
deposited its contribution. The foregoing deals with the more public
side of the organization only. This in itself gives but a very general idea
of the enthusiasm created and it barely touches the many churches,
clubs, fraternal societies, etc., which took special part, each in its own
way, in this remarkable campaign.
The Central Committee decided to ask the Province to contribute
1500,000, and of this it was thought Toronto might contribute $250,000.
The spontaneous outburst of enthusiastic applause which followed the
announcement at the public meeting on the evening of October 21st that
Toronto's contribution would exceed $500,000 was in itself eloquent testi-
mony to the interest of the citizens. It was at that time thought that the
Province, outside of Toronto, would contribute at least another $500,000,
and those most competent to judge estimated that this amount might
1916 BRITISH RED CROSS FUND. 19
even exceed $750,000, but no one at that time could be aware of the
relatively small number of municipalities which would take no part in
the campaign. And even among these it should not be thought that deep
interest was not aroused, for many of them did not make an active
response to the British Red Cross appeal solely because they had, within
a few Aveeks previous to Trafalgar Day, contributed most liberally to the
Canadian Patriotic Fund and the Canadian Red Cross Fund. Three
reasons would probably cover all cases in which no response was made:
First, an extensive campaign had been very recently completed, and it
was felt that a second campaign would not be understood; second, the
sparse and widely-scattered population and relative poverty of some
municipalities stood in the way of organization; third, the lack of a
leader competent to effect an organization. In no case has a letter
reached the Secretary in which indifference to the appeal was mani-
fested.
The following table shows at a glance the very general response to
the appeal :
Number of municipalities in Ontario 902
Municipalities (counties and districts) included in the above to which
no appeal was explicitly made 53
Number of municipalities to which the appeal was sent 849
Number of municipalities from which contributions were received,
exclusive of counties 775
Number of municipalities not contributing . . 74
Number of unorganized townships, etc., included, for various reasons, in the
report 37
Number of County Councils which made grants 4
On the evening of October 21st the following cablegram was sent to
Lord Lansdowne by His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor:
" Your appeal to Province of Ontario for funds for British Red Cross and Order
of St. John has met with general and generous response. The citizens of Toronto have
contributed over five hundred thousand dollars; other places, three hundred thousand,
and many places yet to hear from."
To this cablegram the following reply was received:
" SIB JOHN HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, Toronto.
"I desire, on behalf of the Red Cross and Order of St. John, to express through
you our grateful thanks to the citizens of the Province of Ontario for their munificent
response to our appeal. At the same time I beg to thank you for the personal help
and interest which you have generously extended to us.
" LANSDOWNE."

On October 26th, owing to the large cash response of the City of
Toronto, it was possible to send our first remittance. Notification of
this was sent in the following cablegram :
" LORD LANSDOWNE,
"President Red Cross Society, London.
" One hundred thousand pounds, part of Ontario's contribution to British Red
Cross and Order of St. John Fund, cabled to credit of Arthur Stanley, Dominion Bank,
London.
"JOHN S. HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor, Province of Ontario."
Formal acknowledgment of this remittance was received in a letter
from the Chairman of the Joint War Committee of the British Ked Cross
Society and the Order of St. John as follows:
" 83 PALL MALL. LONDON, S.W.,
" 1st November, 1915.
" DEAR COLONEL HENDRIE:
" I have now the pleasure to enclose a formal receipt for the 100,000, which has
been placed to our credit at the Bank of England.
" In doing so may I express my sincere regret that by an oversight no cable
acknowledgment of receipt of this money was sent to you. The fact is that I thought
Sir Robert Hudson, Chairman of the Finance Committee, had cabled you and he
thought that I had; but I hope you will accept my apologies for the mistake.
" You have received a cable from Lord Lansdowne, the Chairman of our Council,
conveying to you our very sincere and grateful thanks for the magnificent contribution
from the citizens of the Province of Ontario.
"It is difficult for me to say anything which will adequately convey to you the
feelings of gratitude which we bear towards Canada for the magnificent help that she
has given. In money, in material, and last, but not least, in men, Canada has indeed
set a splendid example to the whole of the rest of the Empire!
" I am, my dear Colonel,
"Very faithfully,
"ARTHUR STANLEY."
On November 9th we were able to send a second remittance. The
following cablegram was sent:
" ARTHUR STANLEY,
"Red Cross, 83 Pall Mall. London.
" Cabled to-day one hundred thousand pounds your credit Bank of Montreal.
Ontario's second instalment Trafalgar Day Fund.
" JOHN S. HENDRIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor."
To this the following acknowledgment was received :
" SIR JOHN HENDRIE,
"Lieutenant-Governor, Province of Ontario, Toronto.
" Your cable just received. Hasten to convey most grateful thanks for this further
proof of Ontario's splendid generosity.
" STANLEY."
1916 BRITISH RED CROSS FUND. 21
On December 13th the third remittance was sent. This was acknowl-
edged in the following cable:
" COL. SIB JOHN HENDBIE,
" Lieutenant-Governor, Province of Ontario, Toronto.
" Please communicate to all concerned our grateful thanks for further contribu-
tions of one hundred thousand pounds, received yesterday through Bank of Montreal
from Province of Ontario.
" LANSDOWNE."
On October 22nd His Honour, Sir John S. Hendrie, issued the fol-
lowing statement of thanks as Chairman of the Central Committee :
" To all tvho have helped to obtain the magnificent response to the appeal of the British
Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John the following statement is addressed:
" Although there are some municipalities which, for various reasons, will not com-
plete the collection of funds from the citizens in aid of the British Red Cross Society
and the Order of St. John, and in response to the appeal which reached me on Septem-
ber 29th, most of the work will have been completed on October 21st. From informa-
tion which is already in hand, it may be confidently stated that the citizens of Ontario
have answered this call of the Motherland in a truly remarkable way. The response
has been general, which in itself is most gratifying, but, beyond that, it has been
generous to an unprecedented degree. The Central Committee asked the citizens of
the Province to contribute Five Hundred Thousand Dollars. It is already known that
more than double this amount has been contributed, and the returns, which are coming
in, are being compiled as rapidly as possible. The City of Toronto has, by means of a
complete organization, and owing to the enthusiastic response of its citizens, contrib-
uted considerably more than double the amount the Central Committee had any reason
to expect, and approximately one hundred and fifty other municipalities of the Pro-
vince, which have already reported, have doubled the amount expected from the whole
Province outside of Toronto. No forecast of the total contribution of the Province can
yet be made, but, from present indications, it would not be surprising if three times
the amount asked for from the Province as a whole were contributed.
" The outstanding characteristics of these contributions is undoubtedly not the
amount of money which has been given, but the spirit of devotion to the Motherland
and the goodwill with which the appeal has been met. The significance of this is not
so much that the citizens of Ontario are willing to give now, it is rather that they are
ready to respond at any time, up to the measure of their ability. This is surely the
most gratifying message which the Motherland could receive at the present time.
Ontario as a whole has demonstrated, as perhaps never before, that the Empire's
cause is its cause, and that the citizens of this Province are united in support of the
Motherland in her great struggle for the maintenance of freedom and international
righteousness.
" To the members of the Central Committee in the first place, my personal thanks
are due for the unanimity and enthusiasm with which they have dealt with the various
matters submitted for their consideration. In particular, I am indebted to the Hon-
ourable W. H. Hearst and Mr. N. W. Rowell, who supported me as Vice-Chairmen, and
who gave their time and thought to the work of the Committee without stint.
" The Committee itself, for whom, as its Chairman, I speak, is deeply indebted to
the Prime Minister of the Province and the members of the Cabinet for the earnest,
22 BEITISH BED CBOSS FUND. No. 56
personal interest which they have shown in the appeal from the moment it was brought
before them to the present. The Committee is indebted to the Government of the Pro-
vince for so readily assuming the expenses of the Central Committee, so that every
cent of the money sent in can be sent direct to the Motherland.
" In the next place, the Committee is indebted to the Mayors, Reeves and Muni-
cipal Councils to whom the appeal was sent for the prompt and generous action taken,
and to all citizens of these municipalities who responded so nobly to the call from the
British Red Cross Society and the Order of St. John.
" The press of the City of Toronto and of the towns throughout the Province has
responded to this patriotic and humanitarian appeal in its usual way. Space has been
granted the Committee lavishly, and the interest of the newspapers is reflected in
many strong appealing editorials, and in other forms, in their columns. Without the
generous help of the press of the City of Toronto and Province of Ontario, the result
accomplished could not possibly have been attained, and in a very special sense the
thanks of the Committee are due the publishers of the papers for the generous contri-
bution which they thus made to the success of this campaign.
" In connection with the publicity side of the campaign, the Committee wishes to
express its indebtedness to J. J. Gibbons, Ltd., and the E. L. Ruddy Company, for the
service which they rendered so capably, and without charge.
" Were the Committee to attempt to express its obligations to individuals, it would
indeed be difficult to name the many patriotic citizens who have offered their services
freely. The Chairmen of the Committees, the team Captains, and the individual col-
lectors, in Toronto and throughout the Province, have all served as loyal citizens. They
expect no thanks from this Committee, and yet the Committee itself feels indebted to
these, down to the humblest school child, for without them the appeal would have
been largely fruitless.
" In particular, mention should be made of the excellent work done by the Women's
Committees, in Toronto and elsewhere. The women of the Province, through Women's
Institutes, branches of the Canadian Red Cross Society and otherwise, have sup-
ported the appeal as a unit, and once again have demonstrated that in all humanitarian
work the women of Ontario may be relied upon. To them the Central Committee is
greatly indebted.
"With the women of the Province should be mentioned our schools inspectors,
principals, teachers and scholars. Never before has the machinery of our school
system been used with such telling effect for a.ny cause, and here in particular the
Committee would express its thanks to the Acting Minister of Education, the Honour-
able G. H. Ferguson, for the strong circular letter which he addressed to every teacher
in the Provincial system.
" Peculiar interest, too, attaches to the excellent work of the Boy Scouts, who, with
the hearty approval of the Chief Scout for Canada, His Excellency the Duke of Con-
naught, and acting under instructions from the Provincial Council, placed themselves
unreservedly at the disposal of the Central Committee in every part of the Province.
From every place in which there is a troop the reports are the same. The boys worked
as only those can who have a great cause at heart and are organized to do their bit.
"This statement would not be complete without special reference being made to
the splendid way in which the Canadian Red "Cross Society co-operated with this Com-
mittee, and with similar Committees in other Provinces, in bringing this appeal to
the favorable attention of its branches throughout the whole of Canada. The mem-
bers of the Red Cross Society in Ontario have worked in support of this appeal as
heartily as if it had been the call of their own organization, and the response to the
appeal is in no small measure due to the help given this Committee by the leaders of
the Canadian Red Cross Society and of the St. John Ambulance Association.
BRITISH RED CROSS FUND. 23
" In thus expressing my personal thanks and the thanks of the Committee, I may
also express my personal gratification at the wonderful response to this first appeal
of the Motherland. It is indeed gratifying to have this fresh manifestation of the
loyalty and affection of the people of Ontario to the great cause in which we are at this
^moment interested above all others.
" JOHN ' S. HEWDRIE,
' GOVKRN MI:.\T Hoi - K, " Lieutenant-Governor,
"Toronto, October 22nd, 1915. "Province of Ontario."
This was sent to all the newspapers of the Province and to all com-
miitves of which we had any knowledge.
A word of explanation should be made concerning the amount of
work entailed in the preparation of the present report. This explana-
tion will at once make clear why the report could not be issued more
promptly. In the first place, although many contributions were sent in
promptly, many others were not, and, indeed, even now we know of
certain municipalities which have money on hand which, although
reported to us, has not been sent in in spite of many urgent letters and
telegrams. In the second place, in many cases letters covering the con-
tributions did not give us adequate information with regard to the source
from which the money came, and we have had to write in some cases as
many as four letters before reports were received from the municipali-
ties. This can be said without unduly criticizing the municipal officers,
because where the municipality was not organized as a unit the Clerk
or the Reeve may not have received a report as to the contributions from
the municipality. Consequently, it entailed a considerable amount of
work in some cases to get the information for which we asked. How-
ever, when all of this is allowed for, we find that a paragraph in the last
number of " Municipal Statistics," issued by the Government, is quite
as applicable to this report as to the Government's Statistical Bulletin :
" Even at this date many returns have not been received from municipal officers,
and numerous letters in reference to errors and omissions remain unanswered. In
these cases the latest data available have been given."
We have done the very best we could on the basis of the information
which we had to make our report complete and exact, but we fear that
in spite of our best efforts many municipalities will find that they are
not credited with the full amount collected because some of the contribu-
tions, particularly those from schools and women's organizations, were
sent through the Treasurer of the nearest city, town or village, and con-
sequently reached this office as a contribution from the municipality
sending it in rather than from the municipality in which the collections
were actually made. For these errors we can assume no responsibility
whatever, as we have done our very best to have the amounts transferred
to the proper municipalities. It is only where the local municipal officers
themselves have not taken sufficient interest in getting the exact infor-
mation for us thai any such errors will be found.

The following report shows the contributions from the Province of
Ontario up to January 18th to be $1,488,168.11. In addition to this,
|4,739 have been received from other Provinces of the Dominion. There
was also contributed through the City of Toronto |3,150 to supply two
motor ambulances. These ambulances were purchased by the Toronto
Committee and were shipped to London in the last week of November.
Six hundred and forty-five dollars and seventeen cents were paid out of
the Toronto contributions at the request of the local representatives of
the British Ked Cross Society, for telegrams and cables sent out by them.
Further, some of the municipalities made their contributions payable
monthly or quarterly for a year still others monthly for the duration
of the war. These amounts will be received in due course by the Pro-
vincial Treasurer and sent to London. When all these various items arc
taken into account, the contribution sent through the Central Office for
the Province of Ontario in response to the Trafalgar Day appeal will
be found to have been as follows :
Contribution from Ontario $1,488,168 11
Contribution from other Provinces 4,739 00
Total amount received $1,492,907 11
Bank interest . 84 98
Total to be sent to British Red Cross $1,492,992 09

The following statement, showing the amounts received from
cipalities and from various organizations in them, probably needs nq
explanation. The details given as to the source of the contributions wen-
forced upon our attention. They certainly were not the result of any
preconceived idea. When we found the school children, headed by their
teachers and often assisted by the Trustees, taking part in the campaign
&o generally, there could be no question raised about giving them specin 1
credit for their work. The contributions from women's organizations
as such were so numerous that it was seen soon after October 21st that
they must have a special place in our report. Women's Institutes prob-
ably stand first in the number of their contributions, but the Daughters
of the Empire, branches of the Canadian Red Cross Society and St. John
Ambulance Association, Ladies' Aid Societies, Women's Patriotic
Leagues, War Auxiliaries, Girl Guides, etc., were equally active, and.
accordingly, it was decided to group under the heading " Women's
Organizations " all contributions which reached us as a direct grant from
such societies, as well as all those contributions of the citizens in general
collected by women's organizations of whatever sort.
This report should not be closed without expressing the acknowledg-
ments of the Secretary personally to His Honour, Sir John S. Hendrie,
Chairman of the Committee; to Honourable W. H. Hearst and N. W.
Rowell, Esq., Vice-Chairmen of the Committee; and to the Honourable
T. W. McGarry, Treasurer. These gentlemen have shown their deep
personal interest in the appeal not only by the fact that they were avail-
able at all times for consultation, but, perhaps even more, by the many
helpful suggestions which they offered as to the conduct of the campaign.
To the Prime Minister and the Members of the Government, too
much credit cannot possibly be given. Their thought from beginning
to end was to institute a campaign which would secure a response from
the Province of Ontario worthy alike of its wealth ancl loyalty. Your
Secretary knows of nothing which they might have done to further the
interests of the appeal which was not done, and his work has been made
as easy as it could be by reason of the generous way in which his every
suggestion was met and the hearty way in which any help requested was
given.
