rival in Petrograd yesterday. She
appeared in the best of health and
at once called upon the Root Com
mission. Mrs. Pankhurst conferred
at length with Elihu Root and
Charles Edward Russell and dis
cussed what might be done to as
sist Russia in directing all the forces
of the new democracy toward the
struggle with the common foe.
In a conversation with newspa
per correspondents Mrs. Pankhurst
said that she had come to Russia to
explain to the men and women of
the new republic the attitude of the
British democracy toward the war.
She added that it was too *>arly to
announce exactly how she aimed to
accomplish this, but she planned to
appeal directly to the people and

People's War
One of Mrs. .Pankhurst's first ap
pointments will be with Madame
Kerensky, wife of the minister of
war. She is greatly interested in
the formation of the women's regi
ment and the report that Madame
ICerensky Is about to join it. In
recounting the incidents of her trip
from England, Mrs. Pankhurst an
nounced with evident satisfaction
that she had been present when
sailors refused a passage to Ramsay
Mac Donald, the British Socialist
leader, who intended to confer with
'Socialists in Stockholm and Rus
sia.
"Mac Donald's attitude in this
war," said Mrs. Pankhurst, "is pure
ly political. He remembered that
Lloyd-George gained popularity by
opposing the Boer war and he de
cided that it would be possible for
him to play the same role in this
war. He has failed since the Boer
war and was unpopular and this is
a struggle of the people."

The company contended it had

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.

HOW THE
$100,000,000
WILL BE SPENT
•. ' I
In response to many requests, Henry P. 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.
