PLANS RED CROSS WORK

Ernest p, Bicknell has entered on his work
as director of the work of the Red Cross OF the
United States. AS his title implies. he is to be
the managing head Of this great organization.
He gave UP the office of secretary of the Assocl-

of $4,000 year. to go into this new field of work
at an increased salary. Back of his election to
the Office is the old story of work we'll done.
After the destruction OF Son Francisco by

sums of money to the stricken city It was
necessary to have high-grade man at the heaG
