Outline Organizations Re
lief in War.

Henry White, former ambassador to
France, now manager of the Potomac
Division of the American Red Cross,
was the principal speaker at meet
ing of members of the executive COM
mittee in charge of the Forthcoming
Red Cross financial campaign at the
New Willard Hotel Thursday after
noon. Mr.. White outlined briefly the
work of the Red Cross at home and
abroad and gave resume of the work
in which the organization is spending
millions of dollars each year of the war
H. B. F. Mcfarland presided and out
lined plans for the money-raising cam
paign. John Poole, who is to be in
charge of the local canvass, also spoke
briefly Miss Mabel Boardman in a
short talk on Red Cross work stated
that every dollar contributed for the
work represented when expended a
dollar plus; in other words. that a dol
lar and about cents went for war
and civilian relief work for every dol
lar given to the Red Cross. This was
possible, she said. by reason of interest
on bank balances. etc.
Further meetings of the campaign
managers and workers are to be held
at dates to be announced later.

BELIEVES INDIVIDUALITY

DR.. Vesnitch of Serbian Mission Con-
ident America Will Never Furl
Banners Until She Conquers.

PARIS. Friday, March s.-That the
war will complete the DEVELOPMENT OF
the national individuality of the United
States is the conviction expressed by
DR.. NJ. r. Fesnitch, head of the Serbian
mission to the United States, in a state
ment given to the Petite Parisien
That, he said, would be the most posi-
tive and most fortunate result of the
struggle. and civilization throughout
the habitable globe would profit by it.
DR.. Vesnitch declared that he returned
from the United States fully convinced
that America would not stop half way.
adding:
'She could not. even if she would.
furl banners before victory has shone
upon them. That would mean-and this
is fully realized in competent quarters
not only stagnation. but decline. 1t
would be at the same time a setback for
humanity in general. Americans will
never accept that.
"One of the reasons for the success
of my mission was that / always in
sisted on. the necessity for carrying on
the war to victory and of turning a
deaf ear to Germany's hints of peace, al
though l represented a nation which
has suffered and suffers more than any
other from the war. and which, in pror
portion. has made the greatest sacri-

Favors Joint Committee Plan.

President Sinclair is favorable to the
suggestion of President William L.
Sperry of the Cumberland. Md. Cham
Der of Commerce that a JOINT commit
tee of the two bodies Re named to con-
slider how the commercial interests OF
the two cities may be advanced II the
canal should be taken over by the gov
ernment 1t is expected the two or
CARNATIONS will set together at an
early date.
Both Washington and Cumberland
should reap big benefits from the opera
ton of an increased number Of boats
over this 1S4-miie waterway, said Mr..
Sinclair today. Not only can more coal
be brought to the capital, but it has been
shown that tin plate, glassware, steel
rails, apples and produce can be shipped
here by boat The barseS that now re-
turn to Cumberland empty can be loaded
with various commodities and materials
that now are transported by rail and fire.
Quently delayed in transit. The canal
passes through rich agricultural
region and connects with d thriving
manufacturing and mining center at
Cumberland. hut railroad domination in
the past has dwarfed its development as
a carrier. This condition disappeared
with the passing of control of the rail-
roads to the government, and Washing
ton and Cumberland should now be alive
to the wonderful opportunity presented
to rejuvenate the canal as carrier of
fuel, food and other products

COAL VOUCHER HELD UP
~ CONTROLLER WARWICK
ides j. Maury Dove Company
Must Show Basis for In
creased Price.

The price of S7.7s a ton for fourteen
tons of bituminous coal delivered to
the Columbia Institute for the Deaf Is
way above contract price. But clause
of the contract, which provides for a
price greater in the event and to the
extent of increased cost of mine pro-
duction or in freight rates. is probable
justification for the increased charge
Louis l. Hooper, disbursing agent
for the institution, did not challenge
the bill presented by the j. Maury Dove
Company. but did ask for copies of the
governmental order just!fying the In
creased cost to be forwarded te the
controller of the Treasury:
The coal company replied that It had
no such orders. and also asserted that
under the contract 1t was not required
to furnish them. 1t was suggested
that the disbursing agent could find
out for himself by applying to the In
teEstate Commerce Commission for
tariffs of increased freight rates, and
it was stated that other increase in the
price was made because of wage in
crease at the mines
The bill will be held up. however,
until J. Maury Dove sees fiji to show the
basis of the increased price That is
the direction given by the controller of
the Treasury to Disbursing Agent
Hooper.
Controller ". ". Warwick upholds
the principle that the contract permits
OF advance in charge over the contract
price TO the extent of increased cost of
mtne production and freight rates. He
concludes:
The contractor has added to the
contract price; it is incumbent on him
therefore. to show the basis of the in
ha hr<
ing you should refuse to paw the
voucher"

not only will Gen. Pershing get the
supplies from Spain which he desires
for his troops. but a French credit
in Spain is arranged and the Spanish
government permits free export to the
allies of pyrites. minerals and manu-
featured wool
In return for supplies granted this
country and the allies. the official state
ment says, the United States assures
TO Spain its necessary supplies of cot
ton and petroleum, the amount of the
monthly export of these commodities
being fixed in the agreement at a figure
which will cover the genuine Spanish
requirements, but bar the possibility
of German agents in Spain secretly
buying up and boarding a stock of cot
ton against the time of the conclusion
of peace"
Whether the agreement covers the
broad question Of Spanish shipping was
not disclosed.
