GIVES SERVICE TO RED CROSS

Robert S. LOvett, chairman of the
board of the Union Pacific railroad,
has volunteered "the whole of his
time during the war to any work to
which he, might be assigned" by the
American Red Cross. In Il letter to
Henry p. Dawson. chairman of the
war council of the Red Cross, Mr.. Low
EFT said he was "tOO old to go to the
front" but was anxious to do his
"bit'' in whatever manner he could be
made useful.
Accordingly, Mr.. Dawson asked
him to come to Washington for n CON
ference preliminary to the formation
of a committee to prevent duplication
and waste in all activities of relief
and alienation resulting from the war.
He also was asked to accept the chair
manship of this committee.
