RED +CR0SS NOTES

At the request of the Depart ment of State, the American Red Cross has undertaken, through it's Bureau of Communication, to com municate messages or inquiries from persons in America concern ing the welfare and whereabouts of persons residing in the countries of the Central Powers, or in territory occupied by them.
 In other belligerent countries this communication IS possible, since all enemy subjects beng held either as civil or military prisoners of war have the privelege of Correspondence granted by in- ternational agreement. The United States has not classed German civilians as prisoners and conse- quently the closing of postal ser vice to the Central Powers has caused serious individual har hip. The Government of the United States purposes, through the American Red Cross, to relieve this unnecessary suffering.
 Individuals wishing to make in quiry concerning the welfare and whereabouts of friends or relatives il, territory belonging to or occu- pied by. the Central Powers, may communicate with the Bureau of communication, American Red Cross, Washington, D. C. Proper inquiries and messages will be transmitted on a speclal form to the International Red Cross in Geneva. From Geneva, they will be forwarded to the individuals for whom they are intended.
 Answers will be returned to the International Red Cross and by them will be sent to Washington The Red Cross will then communi- cate the information received to the writers of the original letters. Two % stamps must be enclosed for postage. A similar method is be- ing devised tor the transmission of
 inquiries from the Central Powers to America. This will also be handled by the Red Cross.
 The following points are to be observed by all inquirers:
 I. Letters of inquiry must be addressed to the Bureau of Con-

A Valuable Manuscript

The highest price that was ever paid by any magazine for a serial, according to Miss Jeannette Glider, writing in the New York Sun, was given by the Gen. tury Magazine to Messrs. Nicolay and Hay for their Life of Lincoln" She says:
 Roswell Smith, the president of the Century company, first offered them S25,OOO. Hay and Nicolay looked at each other "in wild surmise." MT. Smith took the exchange of glances to mean dissatisfaction. He left the room, walked up and down outside tearing bits of paper to fragments, then came back and offered them $50,000.
 That offer they at once accepted.

munication; not to the person con- cerning whom inquiry is made.
 2. Letters must be concise, since only the briefest communica. tion can be sent.
 3. They must mention only per sonal matters, such as communica- tions concerning the condition oi members of the family and requests for similar information.
 4. Letters must be legible and must be in English, French, Italian Russian, German, or Hungarian.
 ,. They must include the full name, address, and occupation o1 the sender and the full name, ad. dress, occupation, and age of the person for whom the inquiry is destined.
 6. Inquiries may not be made oftener than once Tn six weeks.
 The Bureau of Communication reserves the right to refuse tc transmit any information or inquir, which appears to be contrary te the national welfare.
