A Plain Statement

Even though the Salvation Army has made no
appeal for the support of its religious and charity
work here in Seattle something like $lS,00000 has
been spent by the organization in the distribution
Of relief among the poor children, women and men,
according to the figures just given out by the head
quarters. This is in addition to the hundreds of
garments and pieces of furniture given to the poor
from an industrial store. During the last winter
something like nine hundred school children
supplied with new shoes. enabling them to attend
school 1t can truly be said that even though hand
capped by the lack Of finance, nobody applying to
the Salvation Army and found worthy turned
away
The Salvation Army in Seattle is operating
through seven central points: the Divisional Head
quarters with City Relief Department, the Mems
Industrial and Social Department, and five Corps
located in various parts of the city. In figuring
the good accomplished through the work of the
Salvation Army it should not be lost sight Of that
in addition to the hundreds and thousands helped
by the Salvation Army, this organization serves
thousands of Seatte's families whose purchasing
ability is limited and who are enabled through the
Salvation Army to supply themselves with the
necessities of life at charges within their means,
thus preventing these people from becoming pau
pers.
Plans have been made by the Salvation Army to
meet the expected emergency of unemployment,
with its accompanying distress. The Salvation Army
intends to operate the wood job so as to give men
employment to earn their keep. The Salvation
Army can be depended upon to function to the best
of its ability during the coming year, backed by its
experience OF over so years
In speaking of the financial campaign for the
Maintenance Fund, Colonel Sharp, divisional COM
mander, said this morning: 'The Salvation Army
has not received any Maintenance Fund in Seattle
for more than two years and we are financially
speaking, face to face with very serious situation
Not only is our treasury empty but we are indebted
to the bank for 100000, which is now overdue
The executive committee of the Community Chest
has advised to go ahead with this campaign in
view of our financial condition. The Salvation Army
is quite confident that many friends in Seattle
will come TO our assistance in this critical period
and subscribe during the coming week the total
amount of $3000000, which we absolutely need to
carry on our work until such time as the Commun-
N1ty Chest comes into operation. We need workers
and are asking friends to volunteer their serv-
ices at the city headquarters in the National Bank
of Commerce, Second and Spring st."

Thursday Session
Last For DeVaIera
And LIoyd-George

London, July 20.-The meeting
between Esmonn DeValera and
Premier Lloyd-George tomorrow
will probably be their last before
the return Of the South Ireland
delegates to Dublin. Following
their return TO Ireland a meeting
OF the Irish republican parliament
will in all likelihood be convened
to give the republican leader an
opportunity to report and take
fresh counsel on the new complex
ions which the Downing street
parleys may have placed upon the
old questions. and to formulate a
policy respecting such issues as
may have originated during these
talks.
Il is problematieal whether Mr..
DeValera will then go to Belfast
for a meeting with Sir James
Craig, the Ulster premier, which
was forecast this morning in some
quarters as a probability; whether
he will resume what he has termed
his Tong range bombardment'
with Mr.. Lloyd-George. with the
one in Dublin and the other in
London, or whether the southern
Irish leaders will signify the be-
lief that the continuation Of the
parley would be unlikely TO pro-
duoe the desired results.
The last contingency. however,

This recommendation came all

to Veterans Big
Problem Board Says

That the problem of making
loans up to rs per cent of the
value of security offered, and at
the same time safeguard the In
terests Of the state. will require a
personnel of appraisers of the
highest class, was the belief ex-
pressed by members of the World
War Veterans state aid commits
sion who Tuesday held another
all day session in Governor Oh
colts office.
Difficult problems which sur
round the launching of farm and
city loans were considered by the
commission along with policy
to be followed in making loans.
Plans for setting the complicated
machinery in motion throughout
the state was reviewed.
The most careful study of the
qualifications, business connect
ions and standing will be given
every applicant for county ap-
Ipraiser, members of the commits
sion said. The same rule will be
followed in selecting attorneys to
examine titles.
All commissioners expressed
as highly pleased with
the progress that is being made.
The initial printed forms we" 81"
hand from the printers an(
general scheme of operation was
pretty definitely drawn up.
Comparatively few letters of
inquiry are being received by the
commission, it was said. Ex-serv-
ice men, it was pointed out, are
generally aware that the build
ing of a $30,O0O.0OO loan and
building association cannot be ac-
complished over night.
The attorney general will be
called on for a number of decis-
ions relative to the meaning and
intent of different sections of the
law, but the commission refused
to comment on this in detail.
