"The work of the Red Cross during

be of tremendous value at home, as well
as abroad, and this coming campaign
will be the criterion on which to build
for our future work, says Mr.. Jackson,
Professor William f. Rappard, former

with the University of Geneva, has been
appointed secretary general of the League
of Red Cross Societies S. j. Hughes of
Baltimore has been appointed general
manager of the American Red Cross He
has been legal adviser of the executive
committee.
The royal Abyssinian mission visited
national headquarters of the American
Red Cross in order to present donation
of fl,000 sterling to its funds. They
wished, also, to express their admiration
for the work Of the society, particularly
in civilian relief They said that their
people are looking to America as the
great guardian of the best elements of
civilization and that the knowledge of
Americans that they should take back to
their country would be a stimulus to
their people.

BRITISH MANU-
FACTURERS ANXIOUS
Whether They Will Be Able to Retain.
Home Trade and Extend
Export Business.

London, Sept. Correspondence Of the
Associated Press British iron and steel
manufacturers are seriously wondering
whether they will be able to retain their
home trade, not to speak of extending
their export business, in the face of
steadily increasing prices of materials
and labor Americans who have looked
over the situation, declare the British
need not worry if they will adopt mod
ern methods, for wages in the industry
are much higher in America than they
are in England
Anxiety is chiefly confined to makers
of railway materials, tools, machinery
engines, and those things which 90 to fit
out the complete ships power plant.
The British workman not only de-
mands high wages, but he is charged
with refusing to give its equivalent in la
Dor, thus cutting down production and
making it impossible for his employer
to fill contracts on time.
America awakening to the demands
of Europe, is getting the bulk of the
business while Japan is close second,
according to high trade authorities. Even
Germany, with its rioting workmen and
lack of raw materials, is after trade, and
If report can be believed, is getting it.
As an instance OF the trials which be.
set British manufacturers it is point
ed out that one company whose prod
ucts had a worldwide sale before the
war have been able to obtain only. one
contract out of 20 in competition with
German and United States bidders

OPPORTUNITIES FOR BOYS.
Senator Page Has Two Appointments fol-
Annapolis and One for West Point.

Senator c. s. Page has sent the fol
lowing letter to many schools in Yer
mont, 1t tells its own story:
For several years past have found it
extremely difficult to secure competent
young men whom might appoint to the
military school at West Point or the
naval academy at Annapolis.
1t seems to me that this fact does not
speak well for the young men of Yer.
mont and | shall be glad if you can find
some way TO stimulate an ambition on
the part of some of the boys in your
school to fit themselves to enter the
service of their country at one or the
other of these institutions.
| have been i'll the habit of holding
competitive examinations and appoint.
ing the young man who stood the high.
est in these examinations regardless Of
his political or personal surroundings.
At the last examination held, but one
boy appeared and | appointed him, but
he failed to meet the test when he came
up for the final examinations.
| now have two appointments at An
napolis and one at West Point to fill.
The necessary literature to enable
young man to know what is required as
prerequisite for admission to these
schools will be sent to anyone writing
me therefor
In short, the requirements for the
army are that the appointee must be
an actual resident of the state, not under
II nor over % on the date of admission
and not less than feet q inches at the
age of II. For the navy the candidate
must be not less than l6 nor more than
20. In both instances he must possess
good health, good habits, good morals
and fair high school education.
