What the Rockefeller Foundation CanDo

New York, April 15.-The first in
stallment of review, written by
President George E. Vincent, of the
work of the Rockefeller foundation for
the year 1917, issued today, gives in
formation concerning its finances, as
follows:
The trustees of the Rockefeller foun-
dation are deeply sensible of the inn
measurable needs occasioned by the
European war. The unit of adequate
expenditure to meet even in limited
measure the enormous devastation is
millions of dollars, where it was once
thousands and hundreds.
The resources of the foundation,
measured by such needs are relatively
limited.
The income of the Rockefeller foun-
dation would pay the current expenses
of the United States government for
only seven hours.
The public functions of the city of
New York could be supported for
twelve days.
At the present rate of expenditure
the American Red Cross would con-
sumo the total income of the founda-
ton in seventeen days.

TARPON SPRINGS GETS FIRST PLACE
N LITERARY SCHOOL MEET

The Pinellas county grammar school
meet last Saturday at Clearwater was
attended by very large crowd from
an of the schools in the county. The
different schools represented display
ed great school spirit, and everywhere
large crowds could be seen with the
eolors representing each individual
school.
The program of the day was opened
with several selections given by the
Clearwater high school orchestra. The
literary events next took place, the
different contestants going to the
place assigned to them. Those in the
eighth grade defamation contest went
10 the Presbyterian church and the
seventh to the theatre.
The athletic events took place at
the baseball grounds.
In the literary contest two first
places were won by Tarpon Springs
girls, the defamation by Lucy Davis,
and composition by Margaret Kerr.

1t has been estimated that $207, 000,-
900 is disbursed annually for private
charity in the United States. If the
Rockefeller foundation were called up
on to assume this burden its income
would carry the budget for twelve and
one-half days.
Widely disbursed in aid of a large
number of existing agencies the in
come would have little appreciable eff
feet. Only by concentrating its funds
upon a few convincing demonstrations
and statesmanlike programs can the
foundation justify its existence, and
constructively promote the well-be-.
ing of mankind throughout the
world"
On December 1, 1917, the principal
fund of the foundation had book val
ue of ,776,00O and market value
of $104,0O0,00O. The income of this
fund for the year 1917 was $7,153, 1852.
To this were added a balance carried
over from 1916, a gift by Mr.. John D.
Rockefeller of $5,5O0,OO0, and the sum
of $5,000,000 taken by vote of the
trustees from the principal fund.

For the first two weeks after we ar

he was drafted, but received no an

in?
How are father and the rest of the

like the south any better than he did ?
How is Mrs. Castaing? Remember
me to her and her family, and to all
others there.
Your brother,

Walter Topliff
Purchases Fine
Site for Summer
Home at Beach

One of the finest homes at Indian
Beach will be erected, most likely this
summer, by Walter Topliff. Mr.. Top
lift has purchased and paid for lot 16,
of block 20 of the Indian Beach sub
division, the price being $500.
Mr.. Topliff is in the government
service as sponge commissioner and
has a nice yacht, the Bryn Mawr, in
which he cruises up and down the
coast watching the sponge grow and
holding them on the bottom during
stormy weather when the little baby
sponge are liable to be washed loose
from their rocky cavern homes. When
things are at their worst and old Nep.
tune is kicking up rough house Wal
ter goes down and sings his sweetest
lulabys to the baby sponge thus bring
ing them contentment which is respon-
sible for their fast growth on this
coast. And, it has been reported to
The Leader by different persons who
have enjoyed cruise with Mr.. Topliff
that on nice clear days when the Gulf
is calm it is no uncommon thing to see
a flock of sponge come abroad the
Bryn Mawr early in the morning to
give Mr.. Topliff spong bath. And
it is said that Walter takes the bath
whether it happens to be Saturday or
not, and never fails to feed the sponge
before ordering them back to the
briny deep.
1t is anticipated that if Mr.. Topliff
remains sponge commissioner for an
other ten years that the amount of
sponge brought into Tarpon Springs
viii increase from one million to two
millions Of dollors. But Walter is now

Their in order to outfank Ypres, the
heaviest fighting E<s taken place.
throughout satur( night and Sun
day battles of obstinate charac-
ter took place, Gremans throwing
thousands of men into the attack
along the eight-mile front where the
Germans are trying to drive their
wedge. Nowhere except between Wul-
verghem and Meteren have the Ger
mans met with anything but repulse,
and the price they have paid for their
ATTEMPTS to breach the British line
have been enormous. On no other sec
tor have they been able to surmount
the stone wall of the defense.
Documents captured from German
prisoners show conclusively that the
great new offensive of the Germans
was launched with the intention of
separating the British and French ar
mics and the crushing of the British.
The latest German official commun-
ication dealing with the situation in
the region of St. Mihiel, where the
Americans are defending the line,
says that the Germans inflicted heavy
losses on the Americans.
In Finland the Germans are con-
tinuing to overrun the country and the
fall TO Helsingfors is daily to be ex-
pected.
