RED CROSS REPORTS
ORGANIZATION ACCOUNTS FOR
MONEY ENTRUSTED TO IT.
To Date S79,45o, 727.s5 Has Been APP
propriated for Relief Wort
Criticisms Answered.

Washington, Feb 4.-What the
American Red Cross has done with the
vast sums Of money entrusted to it by
the people of the United States Is
stated in detail in a report just issued
by the national headquarters. To date,
SIS, 45O,727.35 has been appropriated
for relief work in this country and
abroad.
For foreign relief $44,657, 795 has
been appropriated as follows: France,
$30,519, 1880; Belgium, $1,999,631;
Russia, $751; ,940S7; Roumania, $2,617,-
39S.76; Italy, ss,146,O16; Serbia, $751;
1S0.76; Great Britain, $1,703.642; other
foreign countries. s2,536,S00; Ameri-
can soldiers who may be taken pris-
oner. $343.627
The foregoing appropriations are
from the time the United States en-
tered the war until April 80, 1918. For
the United States the Red Cross has
appropriated S2,612,532.60 and the rea-
son this sum is not larger is because
the government provides nearly every
thing our army and navy needs, and
besides, there is no civilian distress in
this country of any considerable pro-
portions.
The great variety of the military
and civilian relief work being done by
the Red Cross is indicated briefly in
the following list: Canteens that af-
ford food, baths and sleeping quar-
ters for men at the front; rest sta
tions and recreation centers for sol
diers in transit and at port of arrival
in France; care of destitute children;
furnishing supplies to 1000 hospitals;
teaching mutilated soldiers new
trades; reconstruction of villages;
bringing together families of soldiers
scattered by the war; farms for con-
vslescent soldiers; sanitariums for
tubercular and other patients; food,
clothing, medicine, and shelter for
the homeless and destitute; and other
activities too numerous to mention.
1t is stated by the national war coun,
ell that all salaries and administrative
expenses are paid out of membership
dues, so that every penny given to the
Red Cross war fund has been spent
for relief. This answers the rumors
tkat have been circulated about the
expenses of operation.
Out of 255 executives in the fourteen
divisional Offices of the Red Cross in
the United States, So per cent. are
women. The policy is to select the
most competent person regardless of
politics, sex or religion.

DECISION OF WAR COUNCIL.
To Prosecute War Until The Pres
sure Produces Change Of
Temper In Enemy.


London.-The Supreme War Coun-
Gil, which met at Versailles, finds no
approximation in the German Chan
cellor's and the Austro-Hungarian
Foreign Minister'S speeches to the
terms of the Entente Allies and has
decided to continue the vigorous pros
ecution of the war until peace can be
obtained "based on the principles of
freedom, justice and respect for inter
national law"
This official announcement was
made here. A summary of the official
report of the War Council says:
THE council was unable to find in
Won Hertling's and Czernin's recent
utterances any real approximation to
the moderate conditions laid down by
the Allies governments. Under the
circumstances the council decided that
the only task before them to meet
was the vigorous and effective prose
cution of the war until the pressure
of that effort produced a change of
temper in the enemy governments,
justifying the hope of the conclusion
of a peace based on the principles of
freedom, justice and respect for In
ternational law.
''The council arrived at complete
unanimity of policy on measures for
the prosecution of the war"

PILOT AND CAPTAIN HELD.
Former Blamed For Collision That
Wrecked Halifax.

Halifax, N. S.-Blame for the col
lision between the French munitions
ship Mont Blanc and the Belgian relief
ship limo, resulting in the explosion of
the former vessel, which destroyed a
large part of Halifax on December 6,
was placed upon Pilot MacKay, Of
Halifax, and Captain Lamodee, of the
French ship, in judgment announced
by the government commission which
investigated the collision.
With the announcement of the COM
missions Judgment, Pilot MacKay was
arrested charged with manslaughter,
the commission having recommended
that he be criminally prosecuted and
his license cancelled.
The commission also recommends
to the French authorities the cancel
lation of the license of Captain Lam
odec and that he be dealt with ac-
cording to the law of his country"
Captain Lamodec was also arrested
charged with manslaughter.

Most Of the Missing Were Mem
bers of the Crew
HEROIC WORK BY CONVOY


Washington. --latest official advices
to the War Department accounted for
all except 113 of the 2,156 American
soldiers who were on board the Brit
ish liner Tuscania when a submarine
sent her down of the Irish coast.
The latest report from an Irish port
says the saved number 1926, as fol-
lows: Troops, 2,1O6; crew, 1870; leay-
ing the total lost 101. There is dis
crepancy between these figures and
those reported to Washington, but a
comparison would indicate that the
soldiers missing number so and the
passengers and crew 81.
With the distress over the disaster
runs strong feeling Of pride in Amer
ica,s boys, who stood at attention and
sang the national anthem.
The Tuscania remained afioat about
two hours, and quick work by the con-
voy and the absence of panic account
ed for the comparatively small loss of
life.
