CINCINNATI. May S.-An address has
been issued to the officers and MEM
bers of the Delta Kappa Epsilon, sug-
costing that a movement be inaugu-
rated among the college fraternities
commonly known as the Greek letter
societies, in all of the colleges in the
country, to raise a fund to assist the
csodern native Greeks in America in the
desire so general among them to return
home to engage in war in behalf OF
their native land.
Il IS proposed that none of the money
subscribed be used to purchase arms or
ammunition for the Greeks, nor that
there be any violation of the obliga-
tions of national neutrality. The
money subscribed will be used solely
to pay transportation expenses. 1t is
suggested to each fraternity to bring
the matter to the attention of chapters
both alumnal and active.
