From the Red Cross News Bulletin
the following quotations will bring
good cheer to those whose relatives
are in the service:
No better advice could be given to
soldiers in camp or about to leave
for camp than this:
"Tcll your troubles to the Red Cross
field director"
In every camp and cantonment there
is an official Red Cross representative
whose sole business is to cater to the
needs of enlisted men.
If a soldier is worried about his
family back home this Red Cross man
will see that the problem is solved sat
isfactorily.
If the soldier or sailor is sick in
camp and cannot write to his relatives
or family, the Red Cross man will at
tend to it for him.
In short, the Red Cross bureau of
military relief is organized to help en-
listed men in every way and the Red
Cross is eager to have the men use
this service.
The Red Cross field director can be
found ut Red Cross headquarters in
side the camp cantonment. No mat
ter what the soldier or sailors prob
lem may be, he will do we'll to consult
this representative.
One reason the American people re-
Gently gave $170000,O0O to the Red
Cross was to continue this service and
enlisted men should avail themselves
of it freely.
The families Of soldiers and sailors
also should appeal to their local Red
Cross chapters for help in any situa-
ton. The help always is confidential.
There will be no publicity.
Camp service has grown to be one
of the largest phases of Red Cross
work.
To indicate the volume Of this work
it may be stated that up to April 30,
1918, the Red Cross had distributed
1S22.0OG sweaters, G41071 mutiiers,
C23o72 wristlets, 454,569 helmets,
l,392,352 pairs Of socks. .....,-

Fur Used Less.

In the new suits for fall the absence
of fur trimmings is notable. This is
partly on account Of the very high
prices of furs now and partly because
women are at present wearing all
sorts Of long stoles, capes and coatees
of fur over their suits and dresses. II
is thought this fad will carry into the
coming fall and winter, and now in
these days Of thought for conservation
Of materials, all these little items are
considered by the manufacturers.

MANY VETO Be HEARD FROM
YOUNG Americans Who Mailed Their
Cards May Bring Total Closer
To the Estimate Of
100000.

Washington.-Nearly complete re-
ports to the Provost Marshal-General's
Office show that 744,865 young Ameri
cans who have become of age during
the past year registered for military
service on June 5. This is 266,724 be.
low the estimate of the Census Bureau,
but, since more than 100000 unregis-
tered 21-year-olds already are enlisted
in the Army, Navy or Marine Corps,
the military authorities find the result
entirely satisfactory.
Army and Navy estimates place the
number of 21-year-old men enlisted at
O8,588. This figure, combined with
the falling off in alien registration.
gives a total of 353.686. which means
that the Census Bureau apparently
missed the number of eligible by only
$4,000.
ut is confidently believed that this
number will be made up by belated
registrations yet to be heard from, in

Washfngton.-The banks and trust
companies of the United States must
loan the Government a total of S..
600, 100000 between June Is and No.
vember, 1913, if the United States
Treasury is to have enough cash in
hand during the period to meet the
demands of war. This was indicated
in a letter which Secretary McAdoo
addressed to the American banks and
trust companies, calling upon them to
absorb certificates Of Indebtedness to
the amount of $750.0O0, 900 every two
weeks between June Is and Novem.
Der l. These certificates are to bear
interest at the rate of AZ per cent.
and are to have various maturities not
exceeding four months.
The amount of these loans in a
measure indicates the size of the
fourth Liberty bond issue. an issue
which the President, in his last ad-
dress to Congress, warned the country
would be larger than any previous
offering to the country. In his letter
to the bankers, the Secretary states
that the sale of certificates is "in
anticipation of the next Liberty Loan"
which may be taken to mean that the
loan, probably to be issued in Octo-
Der, will be for at least $1,000. 0OO,O 900

months. The Treasury already has
estimated these roughly at about $12.

In this connection Mr.. McAdoo an
Eounces new plan to facilitate the
payment of war taxes. plan that ma,
be regarded as substitute for the
partial payment scheme which many
members of the House and Senate are
advocating. He says that at some
favorable period during the summei

These certificates, it is explained. will

in June, 1919, or taxes to be levied

The sale of certificates under the
plan in effect during the past yea,
amounts virtually to borrowing in ad
