From The Indianapolis Star, Friday, December 17, 1915: Twenty-one large cases containing nearly three tons of clothing for German soldiers and civilian refugees in Siberia were sent to Chicago yesterday by an Indianapolis committee headed by Joseph Keller, president of the Indiana German Alliance. The Indianapolis contributions will be added to shipments from other cities in the Midwest that the German-Austro-Hungarian Society of Chicago will have delivered to San Francisco and thence by steamer to Vladivostok. The clothing in Indianapolis, much of which is new, came from more than 500 individuals and corporations. The shipment contained one or more articles of apparel for 5,000 persons.
