tries. In order to coordinate their ac-
ffvities. Balkan commission has been
established, with headquarters at
Rome, Italy. from which point alone
all the Balkan centers can be reached
promptly.
"A commission has Just reached Po-
land with doctors and nurses. medical

and inyalids. Ap American Red Cross
Commission has also been appointed
to aid in relieving the suffering Of Rus
sian prisoners still confined In German
prison camps.
IAN important commission 10 still
working in Palestine. Through the
war special cooperation has been
given to the Armenian and Syrian Re-
lief Commission. which was the only
agency able to carry relief In the In
terror Of Turkish dominions.
Red Gross VIII Continue.
"Red Cross effort is thus far flung.
1t will continue to be so. But the
movement represented by this work
has likewise assumed an intimate place
in the daily life of our people at home.
The army Of workers which has been
recruited and trained during the war
must not be demobilized. All our ex-
perience In the war shows clearly that
there Is an unlimited field for service
of the kind Which can be performed
with peculiar effectiveness by tile Red
Cross. What Its future tasks may be
1t Is yet impossible to forecast. We
know that SO long as there is al Amer.
lean army in the field the Red Cross
will have special .nction to perform.
Nothing could be Of greater impor-
tance to the American Red Cross than
the plans just set in motion by the five
great Red Cross societies of the world
to develop program Of extended ac-
tivities In the interest of humanity.
The conception involves not alone ef-
forts to relieve human suffering, but
to prevent it; not alone movement
by the people of an individual nation,
but an attempt to arouse all people to
a sense of their responsibility for the
welfare Of their fellow beings through
out the world. It Is program both

supreme aim is nothing less than ver-
table "Peace on earth good will to
men," and practical in that 1t seeks to
take means and measures which are
actually available and make them ef-
fective in meeting without delay the
crisis which is daily recurrent in the
lives of all peoples.
For accomplishing its mission IN
the years Of peace which must lie
ahead of us the Red Cross will require
the ablest possible leadership, and
must enjoy the continued support, sym
pathy, and participation In Its work
of the whole American people. 1t Is
particularly fortunate that such man
as Dr. Livingston Farrand should have
been selected as the permanent head
of the organization. The unstinted
fashion In which all our people gave
of themselves throughout the war is
the best assurance that our Red Cross

tyas followed with Medical units pre-
pared to render the same emergency

primary business OF the Red Cross
during hOstilities. The Army Canteen
service along the lines of travel has
actually Increased since the armistice.
"As for work among the French peo-
pie, now that hostilities have ceased,
the French themselves naturally pre-
fer as far as possible to provide for
their own. 1t has accordingly been de-
termined that the guiding principle of
Red Cross policy In France henceforth
shall be to have punctilious regard to
Its every responsibility, but to direct
Its efforts primarily to assisting
French relief societies The liberated
and devastated regions of France have
been divided by the government into
small districts, each officially assigned
to designated French relief organi-
zation.
1.-THE American Red Cross work in
France was initiated by commission
Of eighteen men who landed on French
shores June l8. 1917. Since then
some 9,0OO persons have been upon the
rolls in France. Of whom 1000 were
actively engaged when the armistice
was signed. An indication of the pres
ent scale of the work will be obtained
from the fact that the services of 6,00O
persons are still required.
"Our American Expeditionary Force
having largely evacuated England, the
activities of the Red Cross Commits
sion there are naturally upon dimin-
fishing scale period. Active operations
are still In progress In Archangel and
Siberia.
.The work In Italy has been almost
entirely on behalf of the civilian pop
ulation of that country. In the critical
hours of Italy's struggle the American
people, through their Red Cross, sent
a practical message of sympathy and
relief, for which the government and
people of Italy have never ceased to
express their gratitude.
Supplies and Personnel to Near East.
'The occasion for such concentra-
ton Of effort In Italy, England, Bel
glum and even In France having natur-
ally and normally diminished, 1t has
been possible to divert supplies and
personnel In large measure to the aid
Of those people In the Near East who
have hitherto been inaccessible to out
side assistance, but whose sufferings
have been upon an appalling scale.
The needs Of these peoples are SO vast
that government alone can meet them,
but the Aperican Red Cross Is making
an effort to relieve Immediately the
more acute distress.

workers has been dispatched to carry

COURT DOCKET LIGHT
Few Criminal Cases To Come Up Dur.
ing January Term.

Exceptionally light is the criminal
docket for the January term of the
district court now being made up by
Hugh Fisher, county attorney. There
are no notorious criminals to be tried
and the majority of the cases are
liquor prosecutions. There are four
felony and forty misdemeanor liquor
cases. The criminal jury cases, which
have been assigned to the second di-
vision this tern, will begin January
20 before Judge George H. Whitcomb.
Among the more important cases
are: Earl Reeder, burglary; Charles
Renshaw and Laura Parker, felony
charges; Ed Robbins, proprietor of the
Robbins Electric company, felony
liquor charge; John Parr of Ross
vile, selling mortgaged property; Har-
old Burns, highway robbery; Charles
Gilbert, auto stealing; p. B. Moore,
perjury; Clarence Johns, forgery; Roy
Abbott wife desertion; John Smith,
grand larceny, and Maybelle Bridges,
felony liquor charge. Several charges
of burglary are pending against Rob-
ert Floyd, the negro charged with
robbing so many houses last summer.
but he has pleaded guilty to one
charge and will be sentenced soon. 1t
is said.
The balance of the jury civil cases
in the October term will be cleaned
up. beginning rext Monday.

measures 1t is probable that a large
number of members of the house and
senate will support State Auditor
Knapp's recommendation for mini
mum salary of $4,000 a year for all
elective state officers. A separate
schedule might be approved for APP
pointive department heads.
IL believe a general advance of
thirty-three per cent should be al
lowed all state employees receiving less
than $4,000 year. said Senator
Montee. 1T is my hope that the COM
mittee will offer such a bill. The
question of salaries for state officials,
both elective and appointive, would be
taken care of in separate measures.
The general salary and wage advance,
tho, would apply to all persons below
the head OF department. who receive
less than 5000 a year.
