RED CROSS REPORTS
The war council of the American
lied Cross has planned to issue to the
American people a series of reports
concerning the use of the first Ked
Cross war fund of $100,000,000, and
the plans so far perfected for future
work. The first section of these re
ports, just issued, covers the work of
caring for file families at home of
America's men in the military service.
Report on this subject follows:
“More than three hundred thousand
families of American men in the ser
vice have been relieved of money
troubles, legal difficulties, household
woriies and depressing loneliness by
Home Service. This branch of Red
Cross activities has now fifty thous
and men and women serving on its
ten thou, and local committees and is
spreading the doctrine of intelligent
substantial neighborliness on behalf
of fighter's families and hacking it
witli an expenditure of $4itrt,niut per
month made out of money raised hv
tiie communities themselves and re
served Trom the amount contributed
by the National Red Cross War Fund
This distribution has been directed
by the local committees themselves
and more than one million people
have been helped.
•'Money, tile least valuable contri
bution of the American lied Cross
Home Service to community welfare
amounted to $l.r>uo,oon during the first
six month- of HUH anil will exceed
$4,000,uno for the second half of the
year. By January first. 1010. the
American lied Cross will have spent
in this work a total of about $0,000,
000, and will probably be carrying the
burden of one million per month,
"More important than money are
the other kinds of help given I’rob
1, -ms in soldier's and sailors families
arise from sickness, worry, backward
unruly children, perplexities in the
household, management of business,
legal tangles, mental depression, and
sometimes tin* mere longing for the
man gone away. Home Service has
been successfully helping to meet
them. All difficulties arising out of
the misunderstanding of the war risk
insurance law—there lining each week
about 60,000 inquiries as to why sol
dier's dependants are not receiving
their money from the war risk bureau
are brought to the attention of the
home service workers who undertake
to get the information needed and in
many eases have had allotments or
allowances pushed through.
"Wherever men are under military
orders they are in touch practically
all of the time with home service
representatives. If worried about fam
■ 3 at hcae, home service messages
are sent to straighten matters out.
Twenty or more inquiries alter the
!f:ir" of soldiers families are cub
led from France to near or remote
\ met lean communities every day and
at least one hundred more come In
t i.th day's mail to national headquar
ters. An executive staff of 250 it
m 1 sir vising the work of the ten thou
sand committees in addition two thou
sand men and women, many of them
volunteers, are acting as full timi
sercetarics. Seven thousand peoplt
have attended special training locturi
daises to fit themselves to help it
this work and one thousand liavi
been given certificates after a longei
period of study indicating that the;
art- prepared lor positions us seere
taries.
"There is no possible contributioi
to the welfare of llghtet'u fntnlliei
that home service workers are not
undertaking to make. The work has
enlisted the help of all creeds and
races and is extending aid to every
person who will acept It regardless of
rank, religion, or coTor. It Is not
charity but only that neighborliness
which is due every fighter from the
people of the whole United States.”

SHIMONOSEKI. Japan, Aug. 2 by
mail)—Returned from a mission in
Siberia, Major General M. Naka
shima of the Japanese army affirmed
that llie whole of Siberia was tu a
state of disintegration, that the peo
ple had learned that the Leninite gov
ernment was nothing but a puppet in
German hands, and that their one de
sire was that the allies should extend
r helping hand to them.
He said that when the question of
Japanese intervention was to the
front some time ago his hotel was
besieged with eager visitors who
seemer unanimous in hoping for a
speedy realization of the project of
intervention. He added: "Among
those who appealed to me for Japa
nese assistance were some noble fam
ilies arriving from European Russia
as refugees. A certain Russian de
clared that if allied assistance was
not forthcoming there was nothing for
them but to appeal to the Germans
for help, for they could not leave their
lives and property in the present un
certain state."
The officer said that in China the
administrative power had been
usurped by German and Austrian pris
oners of war. Of the arming of pris
oners of war there he believed there
was no doubt. Among the Bolshevik
troops fighting the forces of General
Semenoff there were some l.duo for
mer prisoners of war
"Generally speaking." he added,
"conditions in Siberia are as chaolm
as ever. The intellectual classes have
I • n deprived of their property and
reduced to a most distressing state
The agricultural classes are without
seed to sow this year, and anticipate
with grave concern the advent of fam
ine next winter."

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have
never been in Alaska, have shown
their faith in this wonderful country
by doubling their investments in capital stock

than purchasing 100 percent more stock. It
means that every stockholder taking new stock
is doubling his obligation to the depositors,
the same as the present stockholders.

ernment calls but be ready for the great reconstruction
period that will follow victory
Your good judgment in sticking to the country will
be further shown by opening an account with the
