Opened; First of
81 Soldier Homes

The Red Cross House, the first of
thirty-two convalescent homes for SOL
diers, opened its doors yesterday after
noon at United States Hospital No. /,
Gun Hill Road and cambridge Avenue,
The Bronx. Built by the National Red
Cross at a cost of $4,000, the house
occupies an area Of 100 square feet and
is equipped with reception room, IL
brary. sun parlor, diet kitchen and bill
lard room.
Ethan Allen, manager of the Atlantic
Division of the Red Cross, announced
to the assembled Red Cross workers
that the building was formally placed
at the command Of Colonel d. F. Duval,
commanding officer in charge of GEN
eral Hospital No. /.
This war has proved a great de-
veloper," said Mir. Allen. "Nothing, /
believe, has ever been known to equal
the capacity of production, the great
volunteer effort OF this country. 1t has
been magnificent and the means OF
placing the Red Cross in position to
qualify upon its province of aiding the
army and navy. 1t is for the purpose
aid in this direction that the Red
Cross houses with their many feat
ures intended to help the convalescent
soldier back to full strength, are being
established Through the suggestion
of Mrs w. K. Draper to Colonel
Reynolds, head of the Medical Corps ~
Camp Upton, the work Of establishing
these Red Cross houses throughout the
country has been developed.
Will Strengthen the Morale
"After all, the great undertaking Of
.he Red Cross, with all its ramifica-
lions, must be the strengthening Of
morale. We shall feel that a great deal
has been achieved if, in the establish
rlent Of these houses, the soldiers are
helped to recovery, and when they
leave take away the impression that
the Red Cross with its $4,000. 900
members, IS back of them with every
resource at its command"
"London has not up to this time
opened anything like this Red Cross
house." declared DR.. Allan MacRossic.
surgeon, recently returned from
France.
"The Red Cross is doing wonderful
work, and will eventually bring to-
gether on common ground the Y. NJ.
G. A., the Hebrew organizations and
the Catholic societies interested in war
work."
The building, situated at the easterlv
end OF the hospital grounds, has four
wings and is built in the shape of a
Greek cross. Thomas r. Aldrich. a
wallpaper importer, will be in charge
as field director assisted by staff of
several men and women. The Rev.

Passed i'm House by
Unanimous Vote
Rate of Interest. Is Fixed at
Four and One-Quarter
Per Cent
Ready for Senate
Additional Amount To Be
Raised Is Fixed at
$4,5OO,OOO,0O0

WASHINGTON, March 30.The Lib
erty Loan bond bill was passed unani-
mously by the House tonight in virtu-
ally the same form as reported from
the Ways and Means Committee, which
framed it in accord with recommends
tions of Secretary McAdoo. Il now goes
to the Senate, which is expected to pass
it Monday.
The only section Of the bill to which
there was serious objection was the
one providing that in determining the
value of national or state banks for
taxation by state or local authorities
the value of government bonds be de-
Quoted. 1t finally was amended to APP
ply only to bonds issued during tho
war.
Dominic Motion Defeated
A motion by Representative Dominic,
of South Carolina, to have the section
eliminated was voted down without a
record vote. Those supporting the mo-
ton argued that the provision gave
an advantage to banks over private
bondhoders, while those opposing it
maintained that banks should be en-
courMEed in the purchase of the bonds
as they already held large amounts Of
the first and second issues.
While no other determined fight
against any section developed, the gen
eral plan of raising great sums by bond
issues without increasing taxation was
attacked by Representatives Heating, of
Colorado, and Huddlcston, of Alabama,
Democrats, and Green, of Iowa, Repub-
lican. Answering these arguments. Ma
jorty Leader Kitchin said he believed
taxes should be increased % per cent.
and probably would be, but possibly
mot at this session of Congress-"
Discusses Increased Taxation
Discussion of increased taxation was
begun by Representative Huddleston,
who interrupted Mr.. Nitchin's explana-
ton OF the bill to ask:
81 want to know how much longer
am expected to vote for more bond is
sues before taxes are raised? | do not
believe we should place the burden on
future generations when good part of
this generation is enjoying prosperity
because of the war"
The bill as passed gives authority
to Secretary McAdoo to issue $S,0OO,-
100000 in certificates of Indebtedness,
to issue SA.50O,0 100000 more of Liberty
bonds, in addition to the So, 666 900 900
now authorized but unissucd, fixes the
interest rate on the third bond issue
at 4 Il per cent and authorizes the loan
of an additional $500, 100000 to the
Allies.
