The law imposes a tax of one cent sage for which a charge of 15 cents or more 1s company operating the lines to collect the tax. Here are the commissioner’'s instructions to collectors of internal revenue: “1. A company shall make one re- port and one.return for the com- pany as a whole and not for each of its exchanges and tolls stations sep- arately; such report and return shall be made to the collector of internal revenue and the district in which (hn‘ company's principal office is ]Ot‘fltfil‘.‘ Scope of the Report. | Every campany shall include in its report all taxable messages orig- inated by it without regard to the own- ership of toll lines used in transmit- ting these messages.

The administration expenses are entirely by the American Red Cross, and are not charged against relief work in Europe are transmitred through the state department or by the American Express company with- out any charge against the relief funds. Of the $850,000 which has been contributed to date, a balance re- mains of $415,000, including $123,:00 owed on purchases made at the re- quest of the American Ambulaace hospital in Paris. Against this bal- ance must be charged $150,000 for surgeons and nurses for six moaths, and their return, which is held in re- serve, leaving a balance of $265,0600 to meet the future calls of the war. Europe may ask for more surgeons and nurses. It certainly will call for more medical supplies. Will the American people enable our American Red Cross to respond to the cries fcr help?
