RED CROSS NOTES.


INpidhhllon OF heu statement.
There have a number of just COM
plants reached the officers Of the Red
Cross from the various a%uxiliaries of
the county. due to the fact that in the
statement of activities recently pub
lished and distributed. the amounts
taken In from some of the communi-
ties as shown by that statement are
considerably less than the actual
amounts that have been turned in by
those communities in the way OF pro-
ceeds from entertainments. member
ships and donation.
The reason for this is that there are
no separate accounts kept Of receipts
from the several districts because the
whole county chapter operates as a
single unit However. there had been
considerable inquiry as to what the
various districts were doing. and on
that account the treasurer was asked
TO run through her receipt book and
SO far as she could determine the dis
trict from which each sum came in
from the name of the remitter. to clas-
sify the receipts accordingly. Then
the balance that could not be readily
Identified as TO the district from which
Il came was put IN under the head OF
other miscellaneous receipts"
So it is quite probable that eacl
district OF the county is entitled Z
some further credit than is shown b,
that statement. The total amount o
receips and disbursements. however
is OF Nurse accurate.
The chapter trusts that with this ex
planation no district will be offeude,
on account OF the credit given il il
that statement. The most importan
thing the chapter has to do-is to keel
everyone who can work. regardless o
what sections OF the county the fund
come from.

America Ahead OF England in Daily
War Savings.


That the American war savings
drive is already running ahead of the
English campaign. in volume of week
ly treasury receipts. is shown by com
parative figures made public by the
national war savings committee.
The treasury war chest in the past
four weeks has been enriched by $40.-
GOO, 900 from sales of war saving GER
tiicate stamps, while the latest four-
week returns from England reach only
S37, 0OO. 600.
As the total American war savings
are now in excess of O,00O. 900. and
are running close to 81, OOO. 900 a day.
il is anticipated that the first $780,
GOO. 900 will be recorded in the third
week in March. or in a little more than
three months after the first offering of
the stamps by the treasury. 1t took
England seven months to top the first
hundred million.
Comparison of the first three
months returns in the two countries
shows that our daily average has been
in excess of the weekly average in
England at the beginning of the move
ment. The figures are as follows:
