American Committee for Relief of German Children ephemera collection, 1924.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/774535939

Collection of two brochures and six clippings concerning the American Committee for Relief of German Children, which was initiated by Henry T. Allen in December 1923. The funds raised by the Committee were administered by the American Friends Service Committee. One brochure is issued by the New York City headquarters and the other by the Minnesota headquarters of the organization. The clippings, dated 12 to 13 February 1924, mostly from New York newspapers, concern Allen's relief effort in light of the perceived insult to the United States when the German embassy in Washington, D.C. failed to put the flag at half mast immediately upon receipt of the news of the death of Woodrow Wilson.
