was this situation which drove
Orlando over to the side of the ex-
IRENE imperialistic group, led and
represented In his cabinet by Baron
Sonnino. A party of Italians would
have been satisfied with moderate an
nexations; another party wanted
everything in sight" Orlando's
symnathies were apparently with the
first, but last winter he went over to
the extremists. If the Italians could
be made to believe that national honor
and national prosperity. were bound
up solely with the question OF annexa-
tons on the Adriatic. their minds
might be taken or internal conditions.

and does take this great part In the
history OF the world. those who come
after us will look back with gratitude
and admiration to it's great founder
and originator in H. r. Dawson. /. for

full thanks for, and hearty approval Of,
the excellent project of the league OF

and for the very efficient manner in
n hich his wonderful idea has been
carried into execution"
Mr.. Dawson, the chairman, said In
reply: Gentlemen. ] thank you very
much. I am quite touched by your ex-
pressions so graciously voiced by Sir
Arthur Stanley. To be associated in
this work has been a very great salts
faction and pleasure to me. and be-
l:eve this is but the beginning of
long. continued. intimate, and. I trust.
pleasurable engagement in a work
which l believe will be very far
reaching. I think 1t ia appropriate for
me to express. as chairman OF the
hoard of governors of the league Of
Red Cross societies. my appreciation of
the help that ! have had; not only the
support that 7 have had from each one
league of Red Cross societies, but also
from various individuals. If I were
to name them. I would name every
man sitting within this room, all OF
whom have sacrificed themselves to
tho cause, and I trust that they will
feel that they have played part
which will entitle them to satisfaction
during the rest of their lives. On be-
half of the members of the board,
want to thank all Of you gentlemen
for your contribution of service TO thia
work"
Mfr. Dawson took occasion TO pay
tribute to Otis II Cutler whom this
league at thu request of the director
general. Sir David Henderson. and Mr..
Dawson, had appointed to be acting
chairman OF the board OF governors to
represent Mr. Dawson in his absence.
Mr. Cutler, who liz director In seq
eraI Of the largest corporations In
America was formerly manager OF the
insular and foreign division Of the
American Red Cross and has been
prominent IN the development Of tina,
organization. MIR Dawson spoke OF
Mr. Cutters services during the war In
the highest terms, adding that II was
made possible for him to leave Europe
AT this time only by Mr.. Cutters stay
ing here to represent him.

world OF the locust pest. The locusts
must be eaten. That simple expedi-
ent will put severe crimp in the
high cost of living, also, for in the
years when they honor 90 the coun-

DOrrT BE A STACKER.
Why You Gan Afford to Invest in Vic
 tory Liberty Loan.

Dallas, Tex, April 15.-Secre- tary of the Treasury Glass, in statement issued yesterday, an nounced that the Victory Liber- ty Loan which will be offered for popular subscription on April 21, will take the form of four and three quarters per cent, three or four year convertible gold notes of the United States.
 The four and three quarters per cent notes will be exempt from state and local taxes, eX. cept inheritance and estate taxes, and from regular federal income taxes. Undoubtedly these are the notes that will be chosen by most of the purchasers in this district. However, should any one desire to convert these notes into three and three quarter per cent notes this may be done.
 There are two kinds of notes and they are interchangeable. The three and three quarter per cent notes will be exempt from state and local taxes, also from all federal taxes except estate and inheritance tax, this being attractive to wealthy people. The amount of the issue will be four billion, five hundred million dollars. The notes of both series will be dated and bear interest from May 20, 1919 and will mat ure on May 20, 1923. Interest will be payable on December 18th, 1919 and thereafter semi annually on June 18th and De- cember 18th.
 At: maturity the dates upon which payments will be required on the notes are as follows: ten per cent with application on or before May 10, ten per cent on or before July Is. twenty per cent on or before August z, twenty per cent on or before November 9, twenty per cent on or before October :, twenty per cent on or before November II, with an accrued interest on de- ferred installments.
 Payment in full can be made on May 20, ten per cent required with application having been duly paid on or before May 10 payment can also be completed on any installment date with accrued interest.
 The Eleventh Federal Reserve District has been assigned the lowest percentage of quotas of all districts, the percentage as signed being two and one tenth, so there should be no question about the full amount being ab- Sorbed promptly.
