II. 8. Reside Of the American Security
and Trust Company. who is receiving the
local contributions. said today that all
expectations had been exceeded, and that
the checks are pouring in SO rapidly that
he and his assistant in the work. Mr..
Green. were compelled to neglect their
regular duties and give all their attention
to the Red Cross work.
"Simply Swamped," Reside Says.
1--WE are simply .swamped," Mr.. Reside
said. II had anticipated liberal contribu-
tions, but had not imagined they would
be as large as they are. All the morning
men and women have been pouring ill.,
making small cash contributions. With
many of the strangers 1 have had diff
Guilty owing to their desire to withhold
their names. There is an element of mod
esty about the giving Of this money that
is really impressive"
The climax was reached about noon to-
day when Joseph e. Ralph director of
the bureau OF engraving and printing.
walked into Mr.. Resides Office and laid

desk, with the announcement that they
represented the contribution of the plate
printers of the bureau.
The plate printers, who form an organ
lied body. decided upon the amount they
wanted to give. collected it quietly and
turned it over to Mr.. Ralph. A collection
among the other employees of the bureau
is now being taken up. Mr.. Ralph said
he expects it to amount to about $1,000.
which would make the bureaus total con-
trfbution, $500.
