RED CROSS WAR
FUND CONDITION

From a statement OK the condition
Of the American Red Cross War Fund,
issded from National Headquarters on
January IA the following items are
extracted:
Fhe membership OF the Rel Cross
on May 10. 1917 was 4S6,394. Now it
is estimated TO de fully 22,000,00O
The number of its Chapters, Aux.
iliaries. and Branches on May 10.
1917, was. approximately BOO; the
present number is about $4,000.
in France, some 1000 people, d.
rectly and indirectly, are operating
uder the Red Cross banner
one hundred and forty-eight cor
porations declared so-cal.ed Red Cross
dividends, aggregatinge $sZ,94S,939@1.
The annual income OF the Red Cross
for the year ending May 10, 1917, be
fore the War Council was appointed,
was approximately 100000.
The total amount pledged to the
Red Cross War Fund in the campaign,
June II to June "a, exclusive Of the
dividends declared by corporations,
amounted to approximately S103000,-
coo. Including interest ON deposits
and income on securities contributed
the tota. received by the War Com
mitt9e up 10. December % was $97,-
25,955 ga. tits estimated that at
least another $6,000,000 will be col
lected for this fund making the to-
tai gross amount TO be received by the
Finance Committee $103, 1854.
To be added to this sum of $1,000
000, due. from chapters which have
not yet made their final reports. AT
ter making deduction Of $13,613,04,

5pende by the War Council to date
SIS approximately 43O,00O,OO0 Other

600.
Among the appropriations is one of
Sill 2SS,417 for the purchase of sup
plies for resale to chapters, such
as wool, yarn, gauze, etc. This IS
he'd as a working capital and il is
believed that it will be entirely suffi-
cient for the period of the war.
This leaves available to the War
Council, assuming the estimate of col
lections to he correct, for further APP
preparations, 100000, and leaves
in the treasury today and from CO.

RAINBOW UNIT
MAY BE HOME
BY CHRISTMAS

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-THE
Rainbow and New England divisions
are believed likely TO be back In the
United States by Christmas. With
the exception of the first regular di-
vision. these were the first TO land in
France.
While priority OF return Will not
entirely follow priority OF original
shipment, these two divisions are
likely to get back first.
The war department. however, has
made no announcement as to the
probable time for any unit. and It's
plans are unsettled.
The war plans section of the gener'
nj staff Is giving serious attention to
the matter OF a standing army after
demobilization, and also to the prob
lem OF universal training, These
subjects have been before the section
for n long time. and probably VIII be
presented to Secretary Baker soon.
According to Bakers interpreta-
ton OF the present military statutes,
all enlistments will close with the
end of the war emergency, unless
congress acts before that time.
Hence, IL is believed the war plans
Section's decisions will be embodied
in legislation for congress soon.

'one OF the principal issues at tho

the nature OF the peace settlement

the settlement OF the world. What
are, the principles on which that set
