*Includes over $114,500 contributed to the "Belgian Flour Fund," Literary Digest, between the 28th November 1914 and the 17th April 1915. Early in 1917 Mr. R. J. Cuddihy started the second Literary Digest campaign for Belgian Relief on behalf of the children of Belgium and the total direct contributions by the readers of the Literary Digest was increased to the splendid amount shown above. The opportunity is here taken in this connection to correct the implication in a previous publication (Gay, Commission for Relief in Belgium, Statistical Review, table, p. 67) that "in addition to its [Literary Digest] enormous publicity support throughout the war," only the sum $114,522.08 resulted. In the table referred to, the contributions through the second appeal by the Literary Digest were grouped under the donations of "State Committees," as were the donations of hundreds of other organizations and institutions not specifically named.
