I cannot too strongly urge upon you the importance of the forthcoming Christmas Roll Call. Conferences with our commissions in Europe, together with conferences I have held here the last two days with the President, with our division managers, and our iheada of departments, have shown clearly thk'J ? field for Red Cross effort is goin to be upon a tremendous scale and of a beautiful and inspiring char acter. As we shall conduct no furth er campaign for War Funds, the Roll Call w:ll constitute the very founda tion of Red Cross effort in the future, j And I firmly believe that the future of the Red Cross will be devoted to ser- j vice which cannot receive less than the , whole hearted and active support of the whole American people; and its ability to realize that future will be 1 dependent upon that support alone. 1 1 urge you and your assistants to exert j redoubled effort to make this Roll Call j in the period of transition from war to ' peace such a tremendous success that our Red Cross Organization which has been built to sudh huge s proportions out of love, sympathy, and effort dur- j ing the war may .continue to be an 1 I the whole American nation.

W S S ES Mr. Burleson Announces Basic Charge of Six and One-Fourth a Mills Airline Mileage Effective on January 21st. Washington, Dec. 15. Sweeping reductions in long distance and toll telephone rates by the adoption of a basic charge of six and oue-forth mills a mile, air line mileage, and haf the day rate for night service up to midnight and one-fourth the day rate after that hour were an nounced today by Postmaster Bur leson. They become effective next January 21. The-new rates Were recommended in the first report of the committee on rates standardisation and Mr. Burleson's statement said their ef fect is to equalize the toll and long distance charges over the" country, "removing disparities and preferen ces and providing . a scientific basis for future reductions contemplated as unification of. telephone and tele graph wires proceeds. "A night service rate," said the statement, "which is one-half of the day rate is established between 8:30 and 12 p. m. Between midnight and 4:30 a. m. the night rate is one fourth th eday rate. These are greater reductions in night rates than have ever been made in any country, and doubtless will be extensively used, especially for social and family purposes. A person might -talk from San Francisco to New York for about $4, whereas the day rate is approximaately $16. "A station to station service is es tablished such as now exists in the balance of the world, that is, when- a connection is established with a house of office, the opportunity to converse is provided and the station to station rate, which is the basic rate, applies and is payable whether the person desired responds or not. This rate up t o24 miles is at the rate of five cents for six miles and for greater distances five cents for each eight miles, or about six and one fourth mills a mile. The distance is computed by air line methods and not by pole line or public highways. The air line distances are commonly about 100 miles, when the others would run over 150 miles. It is stat ed by the committee that more than 60 varieties of toll rates have existed in the eUnited States up to the pres ent time. W S S GERMANY MADE GREAT BLUNDER.
