YOUNG MAN PROMOTED

Advances Ideas That May Prove Beneficial to Old India
 Peoples
(AsSOciated PreSsl

LONDON, Aug. 15.-The appoint ment of F. S Montagu as Secreatry of State for India in Premier Lloyd Georges cabinet suggests that drastic changes are contemplated in the Gov ernment of India and that a plan will be evolved to give the people of India an administration bordering on that anjoyed by the Dominions.
 In a speech during the debate in the House of Commons on the report of the Commission which investigated the Mesopotamia expedition, less than
 aweek before his appointment was announced MT. Montagu arraigned the system by which India is at present governed and declared that the Ex- ecutive Government should be made more responsible to the people of h. dia. He suggested that the provinces of India be made self-governing and federated by a central government somewhat on lines of government of the Dominion of Canada.
 While this scheme was maturing, Mir. Montagu sadi, it was imperative to give India some installment now to show that you are in real earnest, some beginning of the new plan which you intend to p,rsue."
 His appointment so soon after this speech has led many to believe that the policy has been adopted by the government.
 MT Montagu said, it was imperative to eight years of age, and therefore, a young man to attain cabinet rank, has had wide experience in Indian affairs He is member of a family which for years has had large financial interests in India and was for years Under Secretary of State for India.

Henry P. Davison, as chairman of the war council of the Red Cross, makes public statement setting forth the finances and other important facts concerning the Red Cross up to July 31. 1917. MT. Davison authorizes the following:
 It is the earnest desire of the Red Cross that the American people, to whom the Red Cross belongs, should know all about it's acts and it's affairs The people have given wonderful eX- hibition of generosity and big heart edness and at their bidding the Amer ican Red Cross has undertaken the most stupendous effort in the history of mankind to relieve suffering and distress.
 Accounts Regularly Audited.
 The accounts of the Red Cross are regularly audited by the War Depart ment and an annual report is made to Congress. But it is the purpose of the war council to take the people, day by day, as fully as possible into it's confidence. Information as to Red Cross matters will accordingly be made public in great detail.
 The war council was appointed by President Wilson on May 10. The period from then until July 1 was larg- ely devoted to the campaign to raise money and to developing an organiza- tion to administer the war fund when it had been raised.
 The S1oo 100000 Campaign
 The campaign for s1OO,000,000 result ed in subscriptions of about $100,OOO,- 900 and Red Cross dividends of about S19, 100000 Final returns are not yet available.
 The total war-fund subscriptions paid in on August 1, 1917, amounted to $30, 116.13. Disbursements up to that date were $2,S72,59S.64.
 Tota apprc -riations of the war coun- cil up to an lcluding July 31 amount ed to $6,23- .,2.
 (NOTE-Lack of space prevents the insertion here of the details.) Full Statement Later. It will be obvious that the foregoing appropriations are almost entirely to meet immediate emergencies. Ger tain of the sums appropriated for the use of the special commissions sent to Europe may not be used, but in or der that such relief as could be ex- tended should be given immediately | if needed, it was considered wise to place certain funds at the disposal of these commissions. A full statement of the actual expenditures will be made later
 Plans which will be announced as soon as they are matured, are under consideration for effort upon much more extensive scale especially for the most effective possible cooperation with the Army and Navy in caring for own men, Efforts to aid and assist the sick, wounded, and afflicted among our allies will be based on careful in-
