He has failed since the Boer war and was unpopular and this is a struggle of the people." nilUAIi TELEPHONE ARGUMENT The question of when a rural tele phone line shall bo considered to have all the subscribers it can ac commodate was argued before the Public Service Commission to-day In complaints of residents of Perry county against the Buck Valley Rural Telephone Company, No. 2.

Effective June 21, 1917 The Bell Telephone Company of Pennsylvania an nounces the adoption of a new schedule of toll and long distance charges on messages between Pennsylvania points and on messages between Pennsylvania and Delaware. Involved in this rate revision is the substitution of "two number" for "particular person" calling on toll messages between this city and a few nearby points to which the volumes of traffic are such as to warrant the provision of a special no-delay service. By a "two num ber" call is meant a call placed by number only, no "particular person" being asked for when the call is given to the operator. On a "two number" call the call ing subscriber should not leave telephone but should remain with the receiver to his ear; the connection will be established immediately. Whenever this "two num ber" calling is substituted the initial period of connec tion has been increased from three minutes to five min utes. This method of "two number" calling is now gen erally in effect throughout the Bell system and con nections between nearby points; by facilitating the handling of telephone traffic, it contributes very posi tively to the speed and effectiveness of the service and permits of a longer period of connection for the initial period. In cases where '"two number" calling is now estab lished for "particular person" calling the revised rates •are determined on the same basis—as mentioned above —all uniform rates for like distances; and while some < of the charges remain unchanged certain of them have been reduced and a few have been increased.

Davison, Chairman of the War Council of the Red Cross, makes the following statement: The Reel Cross War Council has been asked to name the specific purposes to which it expects to devote the $100,000,000, which it has asked the American people to contribute between June 18th to 25th, the period the Presi dent of the United States has set apart as Red Cross Week. The public is, of course, entitled to as specific a statement on this subject as we are able to make. Our first obligation is to render such service as comes within the province of the Red Cross to our soldiers and sailors at home and abroad. Consideration of the vastness of this undertaking alone as compared with any other sit uation ever known to us will impress one with the impos sibility of forming a definite budget or specifying in par ticular the amounts of money required to care for our own countryrr^en. After making every provision necessary for this pur pose, our endeavor will be to supplement the efforts of our Allies in caring for their sick and wounded. We shall help provide the bare necessities of life to the homeless in devastated France; to aid them to rehabilitate themselves and thus strengthen the man power of the French army. We shall strive to hearten Russia, by providing addi tional ambulances and other relief for the sick and wound ed along the battle front. We shall try to succor the home less and wandering peoples of Poland, Lithuania and Western Russia. We hope to extend aid to those who are fighting the battles of liberty in Rumania, Serbia and Italy—indeed to relieve human misery everywhere among our Allies. We have set $100,000,000 as the minimum of our need. It is evident that we could use many times that amount. To administer these funds economically and efficiently we are developing an organization headed by some of the most competent and experienced business men in the country. They serve without pay. In due course we shall make a report to Congress so that the public may know the total ambunts expended and how very small a percentage was found necessary for ex penses. Before expending money, the most expert advice ob tainable will be secured. Leaders in every line of related ac tivity throughout the United States have freely placed their counsel and service at our disposal. While we recognize the desirability of a specific bud get, we can only say that our task is to relieve human mis ery upon a world-scale at a time when more people are suf fering than ever before in the history of mankind; and we shall pursue this task under the guidance of the ablest ex perts of the world. The American people can rely, therefore, upon the fact that the Red Cross War Fund of $100,000,000, or how ever much more than that the generosity of the public will enable us to use, will be administered as efficiently, as eco nomically and as large-heartedly as we know how to do it. We believe firmly that the efforts of our Red Cross can be a vital and possibly a deciding agency in helping to win this war. To us, of the War Council, that is a humani tarian service in the highest sense and to render it effec tively will be our paramount purpose. Harrisburg Pledges $100,000! Do Your Best!
