 One of the most insidious of the islanders of the Red Cross has been to the effect that enormous salaries hay" been and are being paid to it's officers.
 Almost without exception" says the report of the war council of work don" up 10 November 1, 1917, the important posts of the Red Cross are filled by men and women who are ac- Custom"d to large affairs. but are now giving their services absolutely with out pay for the lessening of human suffering. Throughout the organiza- tiOn persons are, similarly, either giv- ing their time or are serving for nomi- nal salaries" The report continues:
 Had the Ecd Cross been obliged to pay salaries 10 all the heads of de partmentS at national headquarters the present organization would have been impossible. The development of q staff of executives who bring to the Red Cross such large business and professional experience has been pos siblc only because of the many vol unto"rs who have put their time and energy freely at the command of the Red Cross
 "Counting only members of the staff ol national headquarters. and the diyi. sion managers. and emitting d mum Der of assistants and clerks al head quarters and thousands of volunteer executives and assistants connected in various capacities with the chap tcrs there ar" siXty-thrcc officials serving without cost to the Red Cross \ number of other staff workers are lent to the Red Cross by the corpora tiou~ on institutions which employ them, or are paid by the heads of their respective departments"

Washington, D. c., April 2O-The
third liberty loan campaign will be
half over tomorrow, and indications
are that half of the $3,000,000, 100000

of the first or second loans, does not
satisfy treasury officials entirely, be-
cause they actually are aiming at a
$1,000, 100000 loan with 20,000,000 sub
scribers ...
The total reported tonight to head
quarters here was $1,204,714,250, an
addition CT $l14,979,350 within the last
day, covering subscriptions received
at banks together with the initial five
per cent payment up to the close Of
business last night

GEORGIA COUNTIES TO
ISSUE ROADS BONDS

ATLANTA, Ga, April "a bill au-
thorizing counties to vote bonds to
build good roads will be introduced at
the next session of the legislature, and
in view of the failure of Georgia to
secure it's share of the federal high
way appropriation, because of the an
tiquated road building system in this
state, there is every reason to believe
that it will pass.
The difficulty Is that Georgia's high
way commission, so-called, is a COM
mission in name only, without author
ty to map out any highway traversing
more than one county, and the federal
government will not place its funds in
the hands of any state commission
where all counties traversed by a
proposed highway do not act in perfect
accord both as to nature of construc-
ton, costs, pro rata share to be borne
by each, and all other details.
Numerous good road bills are intro
duced at every session of the legisla-
t3re. All are intended to accomplish
the same purpose, but usually all of
them are killed because their several
authors cannot get together Mean
while Georgia is losing 100000 of fed
eral funds to which she is entitled,
and which she would get, if an up-to
date highway commission were pro-
v,ded, and if the counties were allow
ed to finance their pro rata share Of
the cost of construction.
