 All complaints with full data were secured, and MT. Wilcox stated that the manufacturers are vitally inter- ested in this phase of the high cost question, and considered it raised la- bor disturbances of the worst kind. All that the manufacturers can do to help the situation will be done as soon as possible.
 E. H. Greene of thme United States Room Registration Bureau, 303 Fair field avenue, reorted several cases which had been brought to his atten- tion this morning. Mrs. E. c. Hallen- beck, 315 Fairfield avenue, came to MT. Greene in search of a vacant flat. Upon inquiry it was learned Mrs. Hal lenbeck's desire to move was caused by a letter from the agent handling the property, received yesterday. The letter was from Ray W. Stillman, and stated that owing to the increase of taxes on the property of 100 per cent, he was obliged to raise the rent of the house at 315 Fairfield avenue, from $45 to S55, the raise to take ef- feet July Is, when the rent Is next due.
 No repairing has been done for sev. eraI years, the plumbing is of the old enclosed style, and the paint and ;paper need to be renewed all over the .house. Four years ago MT. Stillman rented the house to Mrs. Hellenbeck for $40, and the next year the rent amount paid ever since.
 Upon investigation of the records at the Tax Commissioners office it was learned this morning by Times reporter that the taxes on the Fair field avenue property instead of being raised this year had been lowered, owing to a clerical error, and amount ed to the sum of $16.72. The entire valuation of the estate controlled by Mr. Stillman, which includes property on Main street is assessed at $59,64 last year, as against $60,452 this year. The entire increase in taxes for the estate is something like ST.
 The Fairfield avenue property was assessed last year at $15, $50, and $15,- $50 this year
 The so called increase in taxes up- on investigation, prove to be a myth in many cases, most increases not be- ing over 10 per cent, and only in rare cases. owing to buildings not having been listed, the taxes of very few property owners have been raised 25 per cent.
 Three other complaints have been received from tenants residing at 947 Hancock avenue. The house is SUD- posed to be a two family structure, out

According to a Times dispatch from Tokio quoting the Vladivostok correspondent of the Asahi the new government intends to summon a constituent assembly and to restore law and order throughout the coun- try.
 The program of the new govern ment includes the liberation of Si- beria from the Bolsheviki; the avoid ance, if possible, of foreign interven- tion; general suffrage; establishment of provincial councils and a labor bureau; distribution of the land among the landless and. control of economic activities.
 Siberia will thus. adds the core spondent of the Times, become the first democratic state in the history of Russia, and, it is hoped, be the forerunner of a Great Russia.
 The flag adopted by the new gov ernment consists of two stripes of white and green.
 The counter rebellion assisted by the CzechoSlovaks is spreading all over western Siberia, says a Picking dispatch to the Times, dated July The Bolsheviki are driven westward from Irkutsk, and many are trying to escape into Mongolia.

the advisability of having a war chest for the purpose of collecting funds for all activities, is being considered. There are so many organizations col lecting money for war relief and other charities that it is not surpris- ing that people feel dhe necessity of having a war chest, making one col- lection and dividing the amount among the war activities.
 If this should be suggested in your community, kindly make the request to emit the Red Cross, for the reason that it is against the amendment to. the act passed by congress, which authorizes the existence of the Amer- can National Red Cross. That law distinctly states that it shall be un- lawful to use the Red Cross for tho purpose of trade or as an advertise ment to induce the sale of any ar ticle, or for any business or charitable purpose, therefore it is not the Red Cross policy to allow its name u be used for the purpose of collect ing funds for wan chest. This not only includes the emblem of the Red Cross, but any sign or insignia made or colored in imitation thereof, or the use Of the words red cross for such purposes.
 We do not want to come before the public continually asking for funds, therefore we would like to make one large campaign at time and raise our fund as in the second war fund drive.
 MARSHAL HALE, Manager Pacific Division.
Arizona republican., 1918-04-21

Operates a moveable hospital in four units accommodating 1000 men. Is operating a children's refuge in one part of the war zone, and ill another a medical center and travel ing dispensary, both capable Of ac- commodating more than 1000 chil- dren.
 Has opened long chain of ware houses, stocked with hospital supplies, food, soldiers comforts, tobacco, blankets, etc, all the way from the seaboard to the Swiss frontier.
 Has warehouse capacity for 100000 tons.
 Has 400 motor cars and operates seven garages, making all repairs.
 Has shipped 46 freight car loads of assorted supplied to Italy from France within two weeks after 1t began operating in the former country.
 Had a battery of motor ambulances at the Piave front four days after the United States declared war with Austria. Started a hundred different activi- ties in Italy at the time that nation was in it's most critical condition.
 Has established five hospitals in England and operates workshop for hospital supplies employing 2,00G women.
 And that 10000 cases of supplies have been received at the Paris head quarters of the American Red Cross from your various chapters scattered | throughout the United States. 1 What does all this mean to you? And I have told you but a fraction of the work your Red Cross has done and is doing. It means that without this ceaseless, heroic work of the American Red Cross we could never win this war.
 Without your Red Cross Italy would never have realized that powerful support of the United States in the hour of need.
 Without your Red Cross thousands of French soldiers now gallantly fighting for you at the front would have died of wounds, exposure and lack of food
 But now we must all redouble our efforts and sacrifice for our Red Cross because-a million mothers sons are going to carry the stars and stripes to the greatest victory God has ever given to men fighting for honor and liberty.
 With the help of your Red Cross your boy will win.
 
 The second war fund drive of the Red Cross will be waged May 2O-21 according to the announcement oi Marshal Hale, manager of the Pacific coast division. MT. Hale makes this announcement to the different chap ters in a bulletin in which he ex- plains why the Red Cross can not permit it's name to be used for the purpose of collecting funds for 2 war chest. MT. Hale writes as fol lows:
 To all chapters:
 We are making preparations for tn, second Red Cross war fund driv, which will be held from May 20 tt May 27. The chairmen of the wa fund finance committees have beer appointed for the purpose of takins charge of these funds for tn, chapters.
