RED GROSS FACTS

Here is page from the records of the Red Cross department of foreign relief, which will afford an idea of the i'm mensity of the American Red Cross re- lief work abroad. The figures are for a single week-that ending August 3--which is stated to be a normal week in the operations of the department The weeks authorization for purchase of materials for shipment to the commits sions of Italy France and Great Britain were as follows:

, larger centers, refusal by banks as d group to iend on standard securities would seriously impair the liquidity of investments and would force liquidation which miSh. disturb very seriously the whole financial situation. It is important to avoid sharp and radical establishments of credit and wherever possible lines 1T credit should be reduced without undhe hardship tn the borrower or without caus- ing a shock which would render tne granting of necessary credits more dlifs' cult.
 Tt would seem that those interests an,l enterprises obviously catering to extraN agances and luXuries should be consid l. cred firs.. Upon investigation it may develop that industries of this kind need not be closed down, nor their labor thrown out Of employment, but that they can be gradually diverted to essential lines of production and distribution. EX isting high prices are creating an added strain on the financial resources of the country and are contributing enormously the cost of the war.
 Tt is probably impossible to effect any reduction in the prices of necessary mt1 terials and commodities or in the com pensation of those engaged in producing them, put there are two means. and the employment of both will be necessary. of retarding a further advance. One is y curtailing credits which are not necessary and by diverting such portion of these credits as may be needed into productive channels, and the other is to increase the production of the raw materials ana manufactured articles which are needcd in our military and naval operations ana which are essential for the sustenance and necessary comfort of the people.
 Tn times like these, high prices and high wages do not always increase pro- duction. We see, too, frequently dispo. sftion to accept as ample the returns from limited production and from fewer working days to the week. We have now IT, LOCO men on the shell scared fields pr France, and their deeds of valor have al- ready thrilled the allied world.

assistant to the war council of the Amer ican Red Cross at Washington.
 Chairman Davison of the war council, announcing to the gulf division Mrs. Belmont's selection, stated:
 Mrs. Belmont has peculiar qualihca- tions for service in aiding activities of the American Red Cross. Last year she visited France, and, after her return, made a large number of effective speeches 1 describing the work of the Red Cross in Europe. In addition, her council and l cooperation have been at our service since the beginning of the war. Mrs. Bel mont has taken residence in Washington and will serve for the period of the war without pay. This is but another of the very large number of cases of volun- teers who have given up their great home responsibilities to devote them selves to the work of the Red Cross"
 Mrs. Belmont is known throughout the world as a social leader and of one of the richest and most aristocratic fami, lies of the country. Joining the Red Cross means she has given up the 400'' to help Uncle sam warrior.

POLICY ANNOUNCED

The acting general manager of the American Fed Cross has issued the fol- lowing statement in response to queries from several of the Red Cross divi- sions regarding the policy of the na- tional organization with respect to the
 employment of men within the draft age:
 Our policy in respect to enrolling such men in foreign service is as fol- lows: They are no. accepted unless they have been placed in Class ), Sec tion c, because of physical disability, and furthermore. unless the disability is visual. This removes all question as to whether the representatives of the Red Crcss in foreign service should be in the army. as at a glance it can be seen that they would not 6e qualified for such seivice. The same policy applies in respect to men en- rolled for service in camps and can tonments in this ccantry.
 Our policy in respect to enrolling such men at division headquarters is as follows The Red Cross has never asied for the exemption of anyone. and does not expect tO ao so. Therefore, any man so enrolled at division headquar- ters is cr:hclesS in all respects sub ject to the draft. In respect however, to those men who have been placed III CluSS f. pecduss oI uepehueiicS. VI placed in Class 2. because of physical rtsa bility as above set forth and are not therefore available for military service, but who must under the recent ruling of the provost marshal general be engaged in some useful work, our position is, that such men so employed in impor tant positions with the lied Cross are within the provost marshall 9 ruling and should be retained in Red Cross service.

NOTES OUTSTANDING

Dwelling upon the large increase in fed eral reserve notes outstanding, the gov error stated that those crying imitation apparently overlook the character of the note and it's cover and the fact that in increasing in volume, it has decreased tho amount outstanding of gold and other forms of currency and pointed out that the figures above quoted showed that with an increase in federal reserve notes between February i, 1917. and August l, 1918. of $1, ,596. .9o0,0 900, the increase in cir culating medium outstanding was but s5a3. 363, ,000
 Commenting upon the figures generally. the governor said:
 "There is, of course, direct relation between the deposits and loans of the banks, the normal condition being that they move up or down together. It should be remembered that the use of federal reserve notes has never anticipated an in crease in deposits of loans of the banks except in so far as notes may have been used in exchange for gold Increased loans of hanks, which create additional deposit liability, result in rediscounts at federal reserve banks and the issue Of federal reserve notes follows the redis- counting of eligible paper.
 The federal reserve note. therefore, does not initiate expansion. It is merely an incident of an expansion which has already taken place. It is true. however. that the machinery which has been pro- vided for the issue of federal reserve
