Washington. Especial. Through q
complete report of the work OF the
American Red Cross In the war by
Chairman Henry P. Dawson, on be-
half Of the war council, the organiza-
,tion on the eve OF its annual enroll
ment OF members during the Third
Red Cross Roll Call, November 2 to
il, has rendered an accounting Of the
many millions given 1t by the Ameri-
can people to help our fighting men
and our allies. The statement Is, In
part, as follows:
1.-THE war council Of the American
Red Cross is now prepared to make a
complete accounting to the American
people of money contributed and ex-
pended, as well as the work done by
the American Red Cross durinr the
period In which the war council was
in control of Its affairs. The war
council was appointed May 10. 1919.
and went out OF existence February
%, 1919.
at was the practice Of the war
council to give complete publicity to
its policies and finances, but 1t is only
now that a picture Of the war period
as a whole can be presented. 1t IL
the feeling of the war council that a
report In this summarized form should
be made directly to the public which
provided the money and gave the eff
fort which made the American Red
Cross a success.
"A statement Of the American Red
Cross effort and finances since the
war council relinquished Its control
Will be made to the public through
the executive committee, and 1t is i'm
portant. therefore, that the fact that
this report covers the period only until
March l, should be carefully noted"

POLICE RECORD !.
OF NO ARRESTS
GIVEN SETBACK
Whole Week Goes By without Law
Violation, But Worthless Check
Passer Spells Things.

Members Of the Rock Island po-
lice department were about ready
to put forth. the contention that this
city is more law abiding than any
other in the country, when a weeks
record of no arrests was broken
today by the swearing out OF a
warrant for q man who is alleged
to have passed worthless check
Of $3.50.
Tony Stopolis is responsible for
tho break In the record.
Tony was arrested by Detectives
Herman Sehnert and Earl Shannon
on complaint Of Andrew Kiadonis,
who alleged that Stopolis rendered
him worthless check OF $3.50 in
payment of bill. The check was
made out on the Manufacturer
state bank Of East Moline. Stopolls
was arraigned before Magistrate D.
J. Cleland in police court and the
case was continued until Dec. 70.
Stopolis was released on his own
recognizance.
The arrest was the first to he
made by the police since the arrest
Of two negro providers a week ago.
Last Saturday night these men,
Albert Moore and William Howell,
were arrested for prowling around
the Tri-City Bottling company
plant, and were fined 50 each on
charges Of disorderly conduct.
Rather Cold Work.
Although detectives and patrol
men are not relieved of any work
by the lack Of law violations. they.
nevertheless. are pleased with the
conditions In the city. Detectives
are patrolmen are on the streets
day and night. and 1t is no fun these
cold days, they said. The police
believe that they have law break
ers about all rounded up and do not
expect any other than scattering

rhls mishap took place during the
filming Of an English thriller.

All Of the thrills In the movies
IRE not recorded, but here is one
which the camera-man gets. 1t is
real thriller, not Just a reel thrill
Ter. An English company was
making films recently and the d.
rector had planned q thrill which
would have them all hanging on to
The edge Of their chairs and stop
heir breath for q fleeting second.
The photograph shows how the ac-
.ident went beyond the thrill he
had planned. The car was sup
posed to leap the gap in the bridge
but II did not gain sufficient mo-
nentum and SO crashed 100 feet
INTO the ravine. This mishap. how
ever, did not deter the director
from making another attempt later.
