RESPECT FOR THE EMBLEM.
As the result of consultations between the War Office and the British Bed Cross, regulations have been drawn up regarding the use of tho Bed Cross emblem.
The use of the emblem on placards is regarded by the War Office as undesirable, and can only be permitted on tho understanding that such use is carefully watched and controlled. It must be limited to placards or notices issued by the Red Cross Society or its affiliated subordinate branches for the purpose of raising funds for the society. Should it be used on placards advertising entertainments, bazaars, etc., the whole of the profits of such entertainments must be devoted in their entirety lo the society. In cases where the profits are divided, the emblem must 'on no account be used.
Chief constables have received instructions on the- above lines, and they will bring,to notice any irregular use of the emblem. Societies are asked to co-operate in checkm? such irregularities.
