Book excerpt: Excerpt from Final Report, Department of Civilian Relief: Exclusive of the Districts of the Aegean Islands and Eastern Macedonia Acting under this resolution, Major Oakley was placed in charge of the Commission's activities in Macedonia and I was similarly placed in 'charge of the work in the Aegean islands. Owing to lack of sufficient personnel and supplies, we were unable to take up an extended work in Epirus; but certain relief work was undertaken there, principally in connection with the hospitals, and this will be described in Major Black's report on Hospitals in Greece. An account of all the activities of the Commission in Eastern Macedonia, irrespective of the Departments underwhose supervision they were carried out, first under the direction of Major Oakley and later, on Major Oakley's departure, under that of Major Dewing, will be found in the final report on Macedonian and Bulgarian stations, to which I refer you; likewise the work in the Aegean islands, under my leadership, has been fully covered in my final report on the island stations of that district. I will therefore confine myself, in this report, to giving an account of the work of this Department in the other parts of Greece. The work of the Department of Civilian. Relief was, naturally, incomparably greater in Eastern Macedonia and the Aegean islands than in all the rest of Greece together; but the account would be incomplete if our very considerable activities in the three largest cities of Greece, Athens, Salonica, and Patras, and in the other centers where systematic relief was extended, should go unrecorded. On February when Major Barnes was obliged to return to the United States, I took over, at your request, the direction of the Department of Civilian Relief, as well as continuing in charge of the Commission's activities in the Aegean islands.
