viewpoint in the history of that
wonderful organization. The pres
ident Of the United States presid-
ed over one Of the afternoon ses'
sions. The meeting was attended
by many persons identified with
public life in this country.
Judge Gray of Delaware, was an
interested visitor. General Charles
Bird and Miss Emily P. Bissell
were in attendance, the former as
president and the latter as secre-
tary of the Delaware Chapter of
the Red Cross. Mrs. Joseph Ban
croft, of the Delaware Chapter,
and Mrs. John Bancroft, Of the
local War Relief Committee, were
present.
The President presided but few
minutes, but while he held the
gavel he made an address which
clearly emphasized his deep inter-
est in the Red Cross.
. | am here, he said, "chiefy to
express my desire to cooperate ac-
lively in every way possible. The
Red Cross, just now, is charged
with a peculiarly responsible duty.
1t is really the medium Of the
whole world, or that part of it dis
engaged from the present terrible
conflict, in ministering to those who
need the ministrations of comfort
and relief.
"All eyes are centered upon the
Red Cross. All efforts at relief
come sooner or later into the coun-
ellis of the Red Cross. It is the
more necessary, therefore, that we
should cooperate with that spirit
which, I believe, we all think to be
characteristic of America, the spirit
of absolute disinterestedness, not
thinking Of ourselves, but Of the
results we wish to achieve.

Snug Incomes On The
Delmarvia Peninsula

That 20 persons living in the
Maryland district embraced with
in the jurisdiction of Collector Of
Internal Revenue Joshua W. Miles
have incomes of 100000 a year
and more is revealed by the state
ment just issued by United States
Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Osborn. A total Of 6,977 persons
in the district paid income taxes
for the first year under the new
revenue act.
Of this number the leaders are
two persons, said to be Baltimor-
cans, whose incomes are more than
$50O,000 each. Or course, no
names are given out, as this is con-
trary to the law.
"It is rather staggering" said
Collector Miles, "when one con-
siders the present financial stress
throughout the world, to think that
there are persons who are, perhaps,
our neighbors, drawing such colos-
sal incomes.
Maryland is undoubtedly one
Of the leading states in contribut-
ing to the income tax revenue, just
as she is in paying internal revenue
III other taxes. 1t would be hard
to say whether the principal source
of revenue that comes through my
office is from incomes or from the
manufacture Of liquor. However,
it is probable that the income taxes
are slightly more.'
The statistical record of the per-
sonal income tax returns in Mary
land is as follows:
Two persons pay taxes on in
comes Of $500,000 and over, one on
income between $4,000 and $500,
900, one on income between 5000,
900 and 100000, three on incomes
between $25O,000 and 100000,
one on income between 100000
and $250,000, four between $3.50,
900 and 100000, II between 800,
900 and $150,000, II between $75,
900 and 100000, 36 between $50,
900 and $75, 900, "a between $40,
900 and $4,000, 65 between $50,
900 and $4,000, so between $25,
900 and 100000, 116 between 500,
900 and $4,000, 21S between $15,
900 and $4,000, 542 between $40,
900 and $4,000, $1,976 between
$4,000 and $4,000, 1888 between
1888 and $4,000, and 1,517 be-
tween So, 800 and 1888.
Of the 6,977 income-tax payers
in Maryland, 5,143 are married, 1,
22S single men and COG single wo-
men. There are 179 women who
make separate returns from those
Of their husbands.
These figures do not include all
the returns which pass through Col
lector Joshua w. Miles hands. The
Maryland district is composed of
Delaware, Maryland, the Eastern
Shore Of Virginia and the District
Of Columbia. In this whole dis
trict there are 1922 persons who
have incomes of such size as to be
worth taxing by Uncle Sam. Both
Delaware and the District of Col
umbia have some "top-notchers. +"
In the "$500,0O0 and over" handi-
cap, there is one lone Delawarean.
There is one Washingtonian in the
