as far as they can, of their own people.
1.-The war programme Of the Ameri-
can Red Cross will thus steadily and
rapidly merge itself into peace pro-
gramme. The wake of the war will,
however, reveal the prevalence of dis
ease and give rise to epidemics and
emergencies which in all parts of the
world will call for unlimited voluntary
effort.
There may be perfect confidence that
the peace activities OF the Red Cross
vii be conducted under able and in
spring leadership. The chapters viii
maintain their organizations upon a
scale adequate to the new demands to
be made upon them. Local committees
will indeed, appreciate more and more
the value of having in their midst
strong and efficient Red Cross chapters.
The divisional organizations will be
maintained, always ready for service,
and national headquarters will have a
large and efficient personnel to direct
the activities Of the organization as a
whole.
"For tn ecompletion of this war work
and for the institution of this peace
programme the Red Gross is, Fortunate
". in healthy financial condition.
Abundant occasion for the use of large
sums Of money and great quantities of
garments and other supplies will con-
tinue to arise. but it is believed that
there will be no further need for in

Public Advised Not to
Dispose of Liberty Bonds
Director of Publicity Wilson
Pays Tribute to Papers for
LOvaI Support

Frank r. Wilson, director of Lib
erty Loan publicity, asked New York
Advertising Club members at club
luncheon yesterday to help in a cam
paign to educate the American people
against selling their Liberty bonds.
If the nation now were to enter into
a period of reckless spending the big
economic lesson of the war, that of saw
ing, would be lost, he said. The Lib
erty loans have increased the number
OF American bondholders from 100000
to 3O,O0O,000. SO long as the govern
mcnt is paying interest to the rank
and file, he added, there is provided a
security against economic unrest, but
let the war bonds become concentrated
in the hands of the rich, so that the
majority is compelled to pay interest
to the minority, then there has been
provided occasion for social unrest.
Telling the story of how advertising
helped put over the last Liberty Loan,
which was the biggest war loan in his
tory, Mr.. Wilson said:
AS the government does not pay di-
rectly for any advertising space, patri-
otic individuals and business organiza-
tions developed the cooperative adver-
tising practice of paying for space in
newspapers. Thus $4,000 pages in
daily newspapers were donated. at a
cost of S3.75O,OOO But the newspapers
gave much more than they were paid
for-120,000 pages of free space in all )"

Henry ?. Dawson, chairman of the
War Council of the American Red

Christmas roll call Of the organization
for tht enrolment of members was in
preparation for the larger sphere Of
peace-time work, in which the Red
Cross henceforth would be active. The
war would leave in its wake epidcmics
and famines, he declared, calling for
the aid Of the Red Cross, but the or
ganization built up during the war
would continue to function, he said,
after the last war i'll had been dis
PEELED In his statement he says:
"Since the armistce was signed l
have had an opportunity to confer in
Paris with the heads Of all American
Red Cross Commissions in Europe, and

fourteen Red Cross divisions Of the
United States, and with the heads of
ouI departments at national headQuar-
ters. am, therefore, able to speak
with knowledge and assurance in say
ing that the benefit work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross is to go forward on a
great scale-not alone, as heretofore
for purposes frelief in war. but as an
agency of peace and permanent humane
service.

Bernard NJ. Baruch as chairman of the
War Industries Board, effective Jan

Industries Board cease to exist as a
government agency on that date.
In the correspondence made public

might continue to have the benefit Of
his advice.
After agreeing with Mr. Baruch as
to when the work of the board should
be discontinued. the President said

such hands,"
MIR. Baruch gave as his reason for
resigning that with the signing Of the

The Moore & Mccormack Company.

The Russian Transport Company. of
AZ Broadway, says the Russian Ameri-
can Line contemplates extending its
business and is looking out for a pier
suitable for passenger business.
The Cunard Company says that while
they have lost many ships during the
war. they are handling a very large

QUESTION by the British government,

Hubert Threat
To Quit Reported
In Dock Dispute
Commissioner, in Letter to
Mayor, Hints at Monopo-
lization of City's Piers by
a Powerful G o I'M bine
BY BRIGGS

With applications pouring in for ten
times the amount of docking space at
New York piers now available, Dock
Commissioner Hubert yesterday wrote
Mayor Hylan and the Board OF Esti-
mate and Apportionment another sharp
letter urging Immediate action in the
direction of providing more piers. 1t
is reported that Commissioner Hubert
has told the Mayor that unless the city
begins action soon he would resign.
Commissioner Hubert throws out
hints Of monopolization of the city's
piers by powerful railroad interests
and the transatlantic shipping COM
bine"
"These powerful interests says
Commissioner Hubert, "have welded
an influence with the federal authori-
ties to such an extent that Of the bill
ion dollars in round numbers which
have been appropriated for the inn
provement of the rivers and harbors of
the United States, less than per cent
have been expended in New York har-
boz. Notwithstanding the fact that one
half of the commerce of the United
States entered and cleared through this
port, and rs per cent of the customs
duties have been collected here.
Far Behind City's Growth
in the last twenty years the popu-
lation of the city has increased 2,19b,
2S7, the commerce five times, while
the development of the docking facili-
ties have been practically at q stand
still"
Commissioner Hubert renews his
suggestion for making additional piers
serviceable for ocean going tonnage by
the transfer Of the Sound steamers to
the East River, which, he says, will
enable the Sound lines to obtain cheap
er rentals and the city TO obtain large
income from the piers that are not now
productive. The Commissioner again
informs the Mayor that mayors of other
cities are sending their agents tc
steamship companies in New York, of
fering great inducements to them tc
come to their ports.
Annexed to his letter. Commissioner
Hubert forwards to the Mayor copies
Of letters from eighteen different ship
ping concerns, asking for more berthinf
/ space.
