RED CROSS PAYS
SALARIES TO FEW
OF ITS HELPERS

The war council of the American
Red Cross makes public below a
summary of the salaries paid at ma
tional headquarters as of December
first. On that date, in addition to
70 officers and clerks who were
giving their services without cost to
the Red Cross, there were 4S6 mem,
bers on the staff receiving salaries.
Of these Al were being paid at tn.
rate of $4,000 or more a year. TIL:
salaries paid were classified as fol.
lows: Under 5000, 10; 5000 but
less than $1,000, 218; $1,000 but
less than $500, Sc; $500 but less
than $4,000, 81; $4,000 but less than
$500, 10; $4,000 but less than
$4,000, 4; $4,000 but less than $4,000,
16; over $4,000, 3.
Compared With Peace Time
In midsummer of 1916, when the
total membership of the Red Cross
was slightly more than 100000, and
its work was on a peace basis, there
were rs paid officers and employees
at national headquarters, of whom
20 received salaries of from $4,000
to $500 per year. The net addi-
ton to the paid staff, which handles
the tremendously increased volume
of work at national headquarters
brought about on the entry of the
United States into the war, and the
expansion of the Red Cross to an
organization of considerably more
than 100000 members, consists of
All officers and employees, of
whom IL receive salaries of $4,000
or more. No salaries in excess of
$4,000 are paid to any officers serv-
ing at national headquarters who
has been appointed since the de-
claration of the ar. The highest

$1,000 year, was paid when the
Red Cross was on a peace basis.
Employees in France.
The work of the Red Cross in
France is carried on by a staff of
864, according to report recently
received from Major Grayson Mp.
Murphy, head of the Red Cross
commission to France. Five hun
dred and seventeen of these workers
are serving without salary or living
allowance from the Red Cross. The

averaging about $500 per year. The
average salary for the whole staff
in France is therefore about $500
per year.

national headquarters and abroad,

Bullish Weather Report for

BIrminglam. Augusta. Savannah, Tampa
and Jacksonville. a; san Antonio. Cor
New Orleans and Pensacola, 78i Calves
There was .oe inch ef precipitation at

New York. Aug. 10.
The bullish detailed weather reports
for the Houston and Oklahoma districts
failed to stimulate buying. This was
evidently taken as indicating an easy
technical position. and the market broke
rapidly during the afternoon under real
izing and selling for a reaction.
October broke to $780, while January
sold off to 31.25, making declines of 12O
to $40 points from the early high levels
and of So to ~ points from Saturday s
closing figures.
Early selling was readily absorbed
by an active demand from houses with
Liverpool connections and the market
soon developed increasing strength
Early sellers offered, and there was
also buying believed to be for southern
mill account.
With offerings light, the market was
very sensitive to the demand, and
brokers found it dijcult to execute
their orders without causing wide fluc-
tuations.
October rose to 33.1Oc and January
to 32.50c before the more urgent buying
had been supplied. This made new high
ground for the situation and an advance
of 60 to 6s points from Saturdays
closing.
The receipts at the ports for the day
are estimated at 10000 bales, against
SO41 bales a week ago, 1906 bales a
year ago and 1866 bales two years ago

Chicago. Aug. 10
Corn started lower on selling from
scattered sources September opened
at $1.62A to s1.67b, decline of 1ac.
but later rallied to the highest at the
start, and october. after sales at s1.6i
to s163s., a loss of Nc, sold between
those figures.
There was quite a division of senti-
ment, and this caused rapid small frac-
tional fluctuations. Weather conditions
were generally favorable, the map show
ing good rains in Iowa and Illinois, as
well as scattered showers in other locali-
ties.
There was a firm tone in oats. with
a good demand from commission houses
apparently based on reports of good cash
buying, which appeared to be absorbing
the liberal receipts
September started at 1913 to Il, an
advance of &C. and October at 72la to
724, an upturn OF Ssc. Inc recelpts
