WHAT AMERICA
 IS GIVING TO WAX
By HOLLAND

New York, November 1.-(SpeciaL, Not later than Thanksgiving Day it Will be nossible to report that since the 1rnited States joined the allies in the European war, tine American peopie have contributed somewhat in excess of s5oO,ooO0, ,000o for certain forms of war work. The aggregate of this money gllt is sure to be not far from the totai amount of the Anglo French loan whlch was floated in this country in the fall of 1915. The amount was F5oo'o"'Vo
 When Henry P. Davison was called to Washington for the purpose ot plac- ing him in charge of the Red Cross or Vganization of the United states he was told that as much as s10,o0o,0W would be needed for Red Cross work. With the intutive accuracy of judgment which is characteristic of him, Mr. Dawson replied that 10 times $lO,oo0,Oo were needed and that he was confident that the American people would gladly give that amount after adequate organlZa- tion had been perfected by means or which the appeal to the people could be mace.
 Alr. Davison's Judgment was accuiatc. His capacity for organization was demonstrated, for in short time ne completed an organization and matured plans by means of which he could fore cast a speedy response to the appeal for $1O0, ,000, 900.
 Every penny of that $10o Oo0,0o0 was wisely expended. None of the money went into the pockets of profiteers or those who sought for bonuses or com missions. The expense account was as accurately kept as was that other ac- count begun and continued under Mr' Davson's eye, which J. F. Morgan x Co. kept with scrupulous care after that house had been appointed by Great Britain her< American agent or repre- sentative for the purchase of the vast amount of supplies Great Britain was buying in the United States. This ac- count is now completed. The books are closed. But after the war when parla- mentary investigation of the manner in which Great Britain expended funds is in progress. these accounts will pe laid before that committee of Parlia- ment and will show to the last fraction exactly how. why and where expendf' lures through the Morgan house were made.

 This reminds me of thing which came near upsetting me. I was pastor at Johnson City, Tenn, and had been there only short time. One night I was about half through my sermon, when saw man step into the lobby and grab the rope of the church bell and ring 1t furiously. I thought he was either 2 practical joker or was just plumb crazy. but before I could decide my congrega- ton had left me.
 
 I was never more dumbfounded; l couldn't make heads or tails of the curi- ous action of the excited bell ringer and the marvellous effect it had on my aFar dience rushed to the door and saw the heavens lit up, and then it dawned on me a home was burning. I learned later that the Baptist church bell was used as the city's fire bell, but no one had tipped me off, and hence my dilemma.
 
 I'll never forget the rebuke a married man gave to an old bachelor. After awhile my congregation came back, and as they were gathering, I overhead . young unmarried man say that he didn't see why lot of people acted like idiots whenever the fire bell rang. Up spoke father, and with a sheer, said: 'I sup pose you can't, as all you've got is an old pointer dog, but if you had 8 wife and a house full of little ones, I reckon that even you might have sense enough to want to run out and seeif they were in danger"
 Believe it or not, I am sitting here and have just gotten this far in my story and the fire whistle of Clanton has just begun to shriek, and so am going to bring it to a close and go out and, and if needed, act as a volunteer fireman if needed act as volunteer fireman Eufaula days.
