Where Red Cross Money Goes

Subscribers to the Red Cross
war fund naturally are concerned
about where and for what pur-
pose the money is expended;
Much has already been explained
relative to the work done by the
Red Cross and the following
statement by Henry Davidson,
chairman of the Red Cross War
Council, will afford a clear under
standing as to where the money
now being raised will be used:
1.-The Red Cross has approprlat-
ed 81, 100000 to provide immed-
late necessities in France, to be
spent under the direction OF the
American Red Cross Commission
in France headed by Major
Grayson M. P. Murphy, a mem
ber of the War Council. The
Red Cross has also appropriated
100000 to purchase medical
supplies and instruments, where
by the Red Cross Commission to
Russia may take care OF more
urgent needs upon arrival IN
that country.
"The sum of 100000 has
been appropriated to purchase
materials to supply most urgent
needs in Roumania. The sum o1
$1OO, 900 has been appropriated
for use in Armenia, and S6,5O(
has been appropriated to pur
chase drugs to be sent to the
Russian Red Cross.
aside from the foregoing, M
appropriations have been made
Baxter Springs news., 1917-07-19

relative to public
needs and the like.
Yet because Of having heard
so many complaints from
strangers OF late about the lack
of street names and house
numbers in Baxter Springs, we
feel constrained to ask the city
council what has become OF the
movement started some time ago
10 have the city streets properly
named and marked and the
houses numbered?
Early in the year a man came
here and started in to number
the houses and post the names
of streets, but he discovered an
undecipherable mess. He found
several streets with no names,
some streets with two names and
a number of streets having the
same name. He appealed to the
council to help him out by cor
recting these shortcomings on
the city plat and making the act
official. The council promised
to do so forthwith, and one good
-intentioned member even pub
lished a letter in the News to the
afTect that the corrections were
going to be made. But there
the matter ended, it appears aiic
we are still jogging along in tht
same old rut. ;,
Now, this condition doesn't
become a big and prosperous city
like Baxter Springs has grown t
be. 1t is one of just few handi
caps to the development OF on
community. A few hours tim
is all that would be necessary Il
make the corrections on the cit.
plat and the expense of posting
street signs would not be wortl
mentioning.
Now, if we are wrong again
we shall expect to be punished
but if we are right we hope tn
council won't get mad at US TO
saving that the public woul'
appreciate having city house
properly numbered and street
marked.

No Telegraph Office Up Town

The signers Of the petition,
which was circulated sometime
ago, to induce the Western Union
people to open an Office up town,
will be disappointed to know
that this company declares it to
be impossible to comply with
their wishes at present.
when the government Is call
ing upon the telegraph company
for all the operators they can
spare" declared district superin-
tendent of the company in
answer to the petition, I'VE are
finding it imperative to restrict
the opening up Of new Offices on
the theory Of the most good to
the most people. 1t is necessary
that all the telegraph operators
perform all the telegraph service
possible in his community, and
unless absolutely necessary the
railroad operator will have to
perform the telegraph service for
Baxter Springs"

"Buttin' in Again.

A newspaper is always in a
peculiar situation in the public
mind. Its expressions are taken
more seriously than views given
in conversation. For instance,
the whole town may be criticiz-
ing a public official on account
of some action of his, or his re-
fusal to act, and he will pay
little attention to it, but let a
newspaper voice that criticism
and Immediately said newspaper
is placed on the unfair list. Of
course, in larger affairs, public
officials often invite criticism as
a guide to their actions, but just
now we are not speaking of the
big, broad-minded officials, like
President Wilson, for instance.
So a newspaper man VINO
wants to stand in must needs be
very silent regarding the actions
and conduct Of public officials.
II he has anything to say what
ever about public affairs, ne
must confne his writings wholly
to fiattering the Powers That Be.
Such being the case, and The
News having learned its lesson,
naturally we are disposed to be
very timid about offering any

Requested to Take Examination

Lloye Magruder, who is work.
ing for the Vinegar Hill Zinc
company, has been requested by
the civil service department at
Washington to take an examina-
ton in stenography and typewrit-
ing for the purpose of filling a
vacancy at Washington.
The letter states that Mr..
Magruder has been recommended
by the business college which he
attended and that this is the
time when every citizen should
place his talent at the service OF
his country. "You are therefore
called upon to take the examina-
tion," reads the letter. Mr..
Magruder is planning on doing
as commanded.

very much to get out OF the

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
possibly be obtained either now
or in the future. That very fact
imposes upon the Red Cross an
extraordinary obligation, which
it fully recognizes, to use the
funds committed to it only after
assuring itself not only that any
proposed expenditure will 40
good but that it will accomplish
the greatest good relative to
other needs which are crying to
be supplied.
The Red Cross has now at
work in France a commission OF
experts, and it has more recently
sent to Russia a similar Commits
sion. The expenses of these
Commissions are borne privately
and are not a charge on Red
Cross funds. 1t is the purpose
of the Red Cross to send similar
commissions to Italy and Rou-
mania, and also to appoint a
! Commissioner to Great Britain.
No appropriations for use in any
country will be made until after
investigation, and all except
emergency appropriations will be
made by the War Council for
specific purposes and in specified
amounts.
at is also the policy of the
War Council to withhold any
very large expenditures abroad
until it is made certain that
every necessary provision has
been made to take care OF oul
own soldiers and sailors.
Appropriations as authorized
will as far as feasible be made
public Immediately, and frequent
statements will summarize the
expenditures of the past, and SCI
forth the conditions of Rec
