WAR RISK BUREAU MAKES RED CROSS CLEARING HOUSE FOR COMMUNITY PROBLEMS THE American Red Cross was officially designated as the clearance medium for all community prob lems of service men at a recent conference, at Washington, of the fourteen national welfare agencies with Director Cholmeley-Jones, of the War Risk Insurance Bureau. The future policy will be one of closer co-operation between these agencies and the Jted Cross for the government buregu, with a view to avoiding congestion and duplication of effort. Experience having demonstrated that the Red Cross Home Service sections are widespread and thoroughly trained in the regulations and methods of the Bureau, Director CholmeleyJones thought it best that the Red Cross should become the clearing agency through which all complaints and inquiries regarding the difficulties of service'men should pass. Most of the representatives agreed heartily with this plan, and In the future all community problems of service men will be 'cleared through local Home Service sections. The Red Cross will make available to the various agencies blanks and forms which have been prepared in co-operation with the War Risk Bureau. Replies in all cases will be returned by the Red Cross to the original inquirer, through the organization which handled It primarily. Represented at the conference were: The Young Men’s Christian Association, Veterans of the World War, American Library Association, American Red Cross, Boy Scouts of America, Jewish Welfare Board, Salvation Army, Knights of Columbus, National Catholic War Council, National Tuberculosis Society, American Legion, American Legion, American Jewish Relief, and the War Camp Community Service. This increased responsibility places upon the Red Cross a new challenge and calls for an unlimited amount of team play. Macauley's premature death in 1859 left his history of England uncompleted. 11l health Interrupted the work as early as 1852. Volume IV of the earlier editions brought the work to the time of William 111 and ends with the peace of Ryswick in 1697. As expressed on the title page, it was the author’s original Intention to extend the history "from the accession of King James II down to a time which is' within the memory of mem still living.” In 1861 Lady Trevelyan, sister of Lord Macauley, edited the chapters of his unfinished history which he left at the time of his death. These were published as Volume V of the early editions, and contained also additional notes to the four previous chapters. _______________________ Z A new baby aeroplane of Swedish make weighs only 700 pounds, and has a speed of eighty miles an .hour.
