MURPHY URGING MORE UNITY AND
 SPEED FOR WAR
Red Cross Head in Europe Tells of Grim Task Confronting America-Oficer Who is Going Back to Fight Issues Warning Against Ob- structionists Here.

in the war as far as Italy was con- cerned, and that America had no real sympathy for Italy Unfortunately, when the break came it was impossi- ble to declare war on Austria. be- cause Congress was not in session, and the President of course could not act without the consent of the Senate.
 ''There was only one agency, and this is the real truth of the situation there was only one agency that could speak for America at that time, and that was the American Red Cross; and I tell you that we went down there and we used everything we could find. We used people that I never would have thought in the world, in some cases, you could ever use for anything. We plastered the American flag from one end of Italy to the other, and when our represen- tatives went to far-off Sardinia they were met by crowds of the population and carried through the streets hung with American flags, and treated as the Ambassadors of the coming of the powers of America to save the liberties of the country"
 Major Murphy was introduced by H. P. Davidson, and Dr. John H. Finley spoke in praise of the guest.

ANOTHER VICTIM
 REPORTS HE FELL
 FOR OLD SPINDLE

So anxious was Nick Harris, of 555 Water street to obtain work he paid a stranger SIS to get him a good posi- ton and is now busy looking for both the genial stranger and incidently the job, both having evaporated accord ing to the story told by Harris to the police today.
 Water street, that boulevard which forms the back drop for so many po- lice court dramas, was the scene of the playlet and the period depicted was Saturday of last week. When the plot of the piece was unfo1ded to- day by Harris, to that master critic, Captain Cronan, the latter decided that it was an old, old story, acted in an old, old way, and stated that even a New York ticket speculator would hide his face in shame at the thought of charging IS bills for ad- mission.
 Harris was approached by genial stranger who requested a match. and while obliging the unknown one with a lucifer, Harris was asked if he need ed a job. Of course Nick needed work, he is industrious, but the idea of getting a good job that he could wear a collar and tie with appealed | to him, and he fell.
 | Then the stranger confded in him that for $5 he could get him a job, but of course for $10 he could pro- cure for him much more cengenial employment, and for s2O, well, for 1 $20, he could get him a position. i Now, Nick decided that he did not want job near as bad as he wanted
 a position so he told the stranger he had only SIS, if that would be
 would be enough. The stranger
 doubted whether it would or not, but
 as a special favor he said he would take that figure. He led Nick to ar
 employment agency in the Poi
 building and then disappeared. Nick
 got tired of waiting and told his trou- bles to the police.

AUDITOR STATES
 TAX RATE WILL
 NOT BE LOWERED
(Continued from Page 1.)

Nearly 25 per cent. of the amount of taxes to be collected in May must be applied to the debt service. Other percentages, not including payments to be met from the proceeds of bond issue, to cover the appropriations as estimated by Auditor Heating are:
 Schools and Library, 20.S; police department, 9.4; fire department, 9.9; charities department, 5.4; health de- partment AZ; street Improvements care of bridges and street sprinkling, 1O.6; parks, g. street lighting, 2.5; public welfare and clinic, IT, city engineer, 8; city court, s; national guard and county tax, 1.6; police and charities building, 4; town clerks off, flee, 4; war bureau expenses, 8: building commissioners, 8; tax com missioner, 5; tax collectors office, A; election expenses, 2; salaries, 8; advertising, printing, etc., 8; other purposes, 9.
 The auditor reduces the number of new policemen asked by the police board from 50 to 30 and remarks that the IS new men provided by the ap- pOIllOHHl6ub DOdlu lioI yCdI WCAS never appointed.
 In recommending the entire appro- priation asked for the installation of the two-platoon system in the fire de- partment, the auditor says, 'FWe ought to have, in my judgment, lower firN insurance rates on property as a result of our vigilance and efficiency in pre- venting and fighting fires"
 The auditor again appeals for an appropriation to cover the state tax which this year amounts to s197,514.- 51, and is due and payable in April In order to save the city the interest charged for delinquency, the auditor says Tt is much better and more bus inesS-like, in my judgment, to provide each year for the payment of the state tax.''
 The auditor favors the request ot the health department for $12,735 tt extend the system of medical inspec- tion and dental treatment into the pa rochial schools. He also recommend! that the recreation commission bt given a thorough trial and favors tht appropriation of $27,100.

 TAKES 5OO,O0O
 RUSSIAN RIFLES

Russian rifles which have been made in the Bridgeport plant of the Remington Arms S Ammunition Co. and at the Westinghouse plant in Springfield will be taken over by the United States Government, according to advices from Washington. It is estimated there are about 800, 900 completed, or nearly so in the two shops. One of the reasons for this action is to keep the trained forces of the shops at work to be ready for making the Browning machine gun and Colt automatic pistol, for which preparations are being made.
