Y ' ' ' LOCAL CHAPTER RED -i 1 CROSS GETS RECOGIilTIOII Mis Georgia CopeUnd, Secre- tary Local Chapter, Returns From Atlanta Where Confer ence of Workers Was Held. . The work of the local chapter of the American Red Cross is receiving deserved recognition, throughout, the Southern Di vision of the Bed Cross, and at headquar ters of this ornixatio according to MisTCopeland, secretary of the Gastoa county chapter, wHo thia week returned from a' conference iaAtlanta with work ers fromall parts of the South. "The aggregate of. the things accom plished 4y all the chapters in the south, since the adoption of the .Peace Time Program of the Red Cross is surprisingly large, and the reports, which were made from all sections of the South at the con ference in Atlanta were very encourag ing" said the Secretary. "This chaptejof course, has a part in the nation-wide d world-wide work of the Red Cross, and is helping to support this phase of Red Cross work, as if is supporting the work in this county, with wWch everyone is familiar. It will be interesting to Red Croat members to know that during the past year, the contribu tions of this chapter to the national work of the organization have helped in reliev ing more than thirty thousand victims of various disasters, fires, floods, tornadoes, and other unavoidable disasters, that it helped provide more than a thousand Bed Cross Nurses for the wounded and sick ex-service men in U. 8. Public Health Hospitals throughout ,the country, and that it is now ministering to over twenty six thousand wounded men in the various hospitals through the United States. "While the work being done in this community is of course" vastly important it Is worth while to know that the influ ence for good of the local Bed Cross is not -limited to this community, nor to this country. Everyone who attended the conference in Atlanta, and heard the re ports from every part of the South, of the good that has been actually accom plished must realisse the importance of the work Which has made such a remark able beginning in the short time since the armistice." MEXICAN GOVERNMENT INCREASES TAX ON OIL (By The Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sep. 3 Payment of export taxes bythe American Oil com panies for the May-June ieriod has not ended the controversy Itetween the com panies and the Mexican government, it was learned today at the State Depart ment. Word already has come from Mexico City that another increase in taxes will be put in effect soon. The State Department has made a careful study of this question and cer tain discrepancies between the Mexican government's valuations and the actual valuations have been discovered . The new export tax levies, which the companies have paid, according to in formation secured by the department,; shows that the companies are levying 12 cents a barrel on fuel oil, which is ten per cent on a valuation at $1.20 u bar rel; but the average price received by the companies for the baTrel was 49 cents a barrel which bakes the 12 cent tax approximately 25 jer ceut. On- light crude oil the Mexican valua tion is fixed at $1.56 a barrel which in cludes a tax, at ten percent, of 15.6 cents, but the companies claim to haVe received an average price of only 69 cents. Similarly with crude gasoline the export tax rate of which is six per cent, the valuation is fixed at 28.8 cents a gallon, including a &x of 1-7 cents, whereas the average pnee obtained is placed by the companies at U.5 cent.

' CASES On COURT DOCKET Largest Number in County's History ana remaps, Largest . Number on Docket of Any , County . in State War ana , v Flu Blamed, y : - i , Gastoa county haV .today on the docket of her civil court seventy-three divorce eases, the largest number by far appear ing on the docket at any one time in the county's' history and perhaps the largest number now pending -on the docket of any county in the State. All of these eases are for trial and many of them may be disposed of at the approaching' term of Gaston superior court which commences September 30th. That even fifty per cent of the number will be disposed of at this term, however, is not likely as their trial would consume the entire session of eourt Asked for an explanation of this un usually large number of divorce eases ap pearing on the docket. Clerk of the Court Hendricks told The Gazette reporter that it was, in some sense, a congestion. Di vorce eases set for atrial last fall, many of them, were postponed because one or both parties to the suit was ill from influ enza. This brought about a congestion which has not yet been overcome. Then the war is doubtless responsible, he said, for some of the increase. "However," he added, "after all the explanations are made,' there is no doubt but that the di vorce evil is constantly on the increase here." BOLSHEVIK ARMY WAS COMPLETELY AIuilHILATED WARSAW, Sep. 2 The Bolshevik arm of Gen. Budenny, noUxl cavalry leader, wss annihilated during the opera tions in the Lemberg sector which began August 29, and ended September 1st, says the Polish official statement on mil itary operations issued today.

They had nearly completed an encircling movement against Zamosz, midway be tween Lemberg and Lublin, but were out flanked by the Poles and attacked from the east, the communication states. The engagement resulted in the defeat ot the Soviet forces along the entire center of the front and the Russians were coniH'll ed to retreat in disorder with the Poles in close pursuit.- The Bolsheviki lost heavily in killed and wounded, adfs the statement, the Poles capturing thousands of prisoners, 16 guns and enormous quantities of ma terial . The fighting occurred in the Zamosz region, the battle taking the form of numerous cavalry clashes with the in fantry filling in the gaps and attacking all along the line simultaneously.

MINE WORKERS MEET TO ACCEPT AWARD OF ANTHRACITE COAL COMMISSION (By 'i lie Assoi'iii'cl Press.) SCRANTO.
