POLICY OF RED CROSS
DEFINED BY DAWSON
VIII Use Funds Entrusted 1t Where
Greatest Good VIII Be Ac-
complished.
Especial to. The rimes-Dispatch.l

Especial to The Times Dispat
WASHINGTON. July l3.-Henry Z.
Dawson. chairman Of the Red Cross
War Council authorizes the following
statement:
Morning newspapers yesterday pub
lished a report that the American Red
Cross Is 20 use In Italy sl0.O00.0OO out
of the &l0o.OoO.0oo and more recently
subscribed. The report il without
foundation and 1t is important that the
policy of the Red Cross in handling
these funds be clearly understood.
The Red Cross has appropriated ST.
100000 to provide immediate ncccss.-
ties in France. to be spent under the
direction of the American Red Cross
Commission in France headed by Major
GrayGon w. p. Murphy. a memt or of
the war council. The Red Cross has
also appropriated 100000 to purchase
medical supplies and instruments.
whereby the Red Cross commission to
Russia may take care OF more urgent
needs upon arrival in that country.
The sum Of 100000 has been appro-
priated to purchase materials to supply
most urgent needs in Roumania. The
sum OF 100000 has been appropriated
for use in Armenia. and $500 has
been appropriated to purchase drugs to
be sent to the Russian Red Cross
Aside from the foregoing. no appro-
priations have been made, by the war
council for work in foreign countries.
The need in all our allied countries is
beyond computation. and use can be
found for all funds which can pos
sibly be obtained either now or in the
future. That very fact imposes upon
the Red Cross an extraordinary otliga-
ton. which 1t fully recognizes. to use
the funds committed to il only after
assuring itself, not only that any pro-
posed expenditure will do good. but
that 1t will accomplish the greatest
good relative to other needs which are
crying TO be supplied.
The Red Cross has now at work in
France commission of experts, and it
has more recently sent to Russia a
similar commission. The expenses of
these commissions are borne privately
and are not charge on Red Cross
funds. 1t is the purpose OF the Red
Cross to send similar commissions to
Italy and Roumania. and also to ap-
point commissioner to Great Britain
No appropriations for use In any coun-
try will be made until after investiga-
ton. and all except emergency ap-
preparations will be made by the war
council for specific purposes and in
specified amounts.
II is also the policy of the war coun-
ell TO withhold any very large expen-
ditures abroad until 1t is made certain
that every necessary provision has
been made ., to take care of our own
soldiers and sailors.
Appropriations as authorized will as
far as feasible he made public imme-
diately. and frequent statements Will
summarize the expenditures Of the
past. and set forth the condition OF
Red Cross finances.

MORE SNAP TO TRADE,

tomorrow will say:
While seasonal conditions hold dis
tribution In the larger lines under a
check rein. there seems to be n little
more snap to trade: certainly there is
more doing in retail lines. Industry is
as active as ever. most crop reports are
favorable. collections range from fair
to good. money which is easier. Is in
better demand. and instead of believ-
ing that the wire edge worked of gen
eral business a few weeks ago. the
tendency is to be more optimistic, and
to bank on a relative iheavy trade this
fall Governmental requirements pres
cnt and prospective. overshadow trends
in ordinary lines. but the Presidents
suggestions regarding control Of prices
tend to temporarily inject unsettling
Influences. the matter OF price dictator
ship being a hitherto unheard Of
proposition in this. country. and one
which IL worked out on wide plane
might run counter to well-settIed
economic principles. Yet numerous
business Interests concede that govern
mental control Of prices will not great
ly AFFECT business. however much It
may check excess earnings of those
who expected to derive large profits
from the conditions generated by our
participation In the war. Less talk is
heard about economy campaigns, prob
ably because lower prices for many
edible articles have come about Il
seems certain that luxuries are being
neglected, and 1t is also patent that
many young men will have little or no
use for civilian garb.

RESTRAINT ON BUSINESS
IN GENERAL DIRECTIONS
Buyers Disposed to Proceed With
Caution, Pending Clearer In
sight Into Future.
MANY OPTIMISTIC FEATURES
Absence of Speculative Tendencies In
Trade and Industry Is Wholesome
Development, and Improved Grain
Crop Prospects Encouraging.

NEW YORK. July l3.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
The economic problems occasioned
by the war arc becoming more sharp
1y defined and doubts about the real
justneEts still to be experienced inn
pose restraint on business in not a
few directions. With price uncertain
ties continuing. and with the effects of
the export embargo yet to be deter
mined, there is hcsitancy and waiting
in many quarters, and In some in
stances rather more evidence OF the
seasonal lull than appeared last year.
To a not inconsiderable extent the less
cning of regular demands in certain
leading branches is attributable TO
the disinclination or inability of pro-
duccrs to engage themselves further:
but buyers are also disposed to pro-
coed with greater caution. pending
clear insight into the future. End pur
chasing by consumers Is more con-
servative. Yet there is no apparent
loss of confidence, and the absence of
speculative tendencies In trade and in
dustry is a wholesome feature. while
reason for encouragement Is found In
the improved grain crop prospects With
indicated yields we'll above recent es-
Inmates. and in the comfortable con-
ditions in money. Signs of hating
OF the rise OF commodity quotations
are likewise viewed with satisfaction.
though with diminishing supplies fore
shadowed and with production costs
increasing steadily. some articles may
conceivably go still higher. The chief
difficulty experienced by manufac-
turers is not one of securing new
ders. but of obtaining sufficient ma
terials and labor. and complaints Of
restricted operations through the draw
backs in transportation have continued.
Notwithstanding the efforts of the rail
roads and shippers to relieve the con-
gestion. Outputs are also limited by
strikes at scattered points. and in
some industries voluntary advances in
wages have been made to prevent en-
ployees from taking up other work.
With the consequent augmentation of
purchasing power retail distribution is
benefited and the movement of mer-
chandise. while less active than previ-
ously. bulks large in the aggregate.
especially in staples.

BILLY SUNDAY.
"a YEARS OLD TODAY

william Ashley Sunday is the un-
abridged name of the Whfrlwind
Evangelist. but he'd be offended If
you called him that. He prefers to
be known simply as Billy Sunday, with
out any Reverend" prefix, although
he As regularly ordained minister
The great soul-saver will today cele-
bate his fifty-fourth birthday. having
been born in Ames. la, on Nov. 10,
1853.
Billy Sundays first fame was gain
ed az a baseball player on an anna
teur nine in Marshalltown. Ia. when
he was discovered by the immortal
Cap Arson. For five years Sunday
played center field for the Chicago
White Sox. followed by three years
with the Pfttsburg Pirates and a year
with the Philadelphia National lea
gue club. 1t was while he was mem
Der of the White Sox that Sunday
was converted by the arguments of a
preacher in little Van Buren, street
mission in Chicago.
When Sunday left the diamond in
1891 1t was to become assistant secre-
tary OF the Chicago Y. M. C. A.. In
1895 he started out as an evangelist,
and since then has Converted almost
a million people. The methods of
the baseball evangelist" as every
body knows. care spectacular in the
extreme. He has rivals in the field,
but none can compare with him in
arousing religious enthusiasm. His
forces are as well organized as those
of circus, and include assistant
preachers. singers, press agents and
other assistants. He applies business
methods to the promotion of revi-
val. organizes stock company of
local business men to guarantee e.
penses. and demands that the church.
es in each, city join in the movement.
AS a preacher Billy Sunday appeals
TO the hopes and fears, the emotions
Of his vast audiences. He shouts and
whispers, crouches and stands on tip
toe. swings his arms and gesticulates
violently. The late Jonathan Edwards
had no greater facility in picturing
the terrors of hell than the "ball
player evangelist" He spells it right
out In meeting, HE'LL, hell and does
not content himself with vague refer
ences to Hades or Gehenna. 1t is a
place, he declares, where all those
who have not accepted salvation will
woast throughout eternity, and the
manner in which he tells you of this
eternal suffering conyinces you that
he is absolutely sincere in what he
says.
